I do not blame him one bit, as I posted earlier, this was more about avoiding mass chaos across the country...think looting.
Are you serious or joking? It seems like you're serious...
Optimistic
Look at mainland China....their numbers have stayed quite steady after the peak, the number recovered keeps going up. Unless the JHU site is not updating any longer. China is currently at an 84% recovery rate, with certainly more still on the mend.
youth, let's do this math again.
If 40% of 360 million Americans contract and 84% "recover", how many don't recover?
Of course, that's not the actual mortality, as we do expect closer to 98-99% to "recover".
But, yeah, 16% get seriously ill, need hospitalization in order to have best chance of survival.
And that 16% will overwhelm our system if we don't flatten the curve.
The Chinese did it with very draconian state-enforced means of "social distancing", forced quarantine of ill (no 'self-quarantining' if gov't knew). Drones enforcing, cameras everywhere.
But hey, its a democrat MSM 'hoax' to be concerned.
