so, using the numbers from your site, the number of tests per million rises to 23. almost five times better, but equally pathetic.

The part of your ARGUMENT that is missing in order to make sense ....

Your argument posits that the "lack of people" kept the test numbers low. I contend that the lack of leadership kept (almost) all of the people from being tested because they were being told, "you have, what? fifteen people, and in a couple of days that will be close to zero". That is the lack of leadership I speak of. That is what I'm talking about.

If we'd had more/better leadership, telling us truthful, pertinent, factual information, information he had or should have had (Fucking Burr had it, shared it, acted on it), more people would have been motivated to get tested. But no.


This is what I meant by you/your argument sensed/misidentified. I'm not attacking you.

Silver lining dep't: if you don't leave your house, you don't get into a car accident, don't have a work accident, don't get shot, are less likely to get the traditional flu, etc. etc.... mortality from OTHER THINGS seems to be way down.

Disclaimer: this is from some guy on Twitter but he claims to get the weekly death numbers from the CDC.

Economically, yeah, but I was referring to the social distancing.

But plane tickets are so cheap, someone told me today they paid $50 each from Florida to MA.
Hell they could have gone to LA for $12.89... not $12.89 more, just $12.89.

Oh, the logic is if they don't fly and show there's some demand, they won't get the $58 Billion bailout.

Most are aware a sneeze propels little droplets which can carry all sorts of nasties.
But most don't know the gas cloud from that sneeze may also carry nasties and can travel over 26 ft (8m).
