    - Ah ok I don’t put stock in anything he says the good or the bad -- nm - JackDawson Mar 24, 16:25
    - Play to religious right. Tease the nation about opening his favourite area(s). Trying to remember some other stuff. Not a particularly strong pivot - VMan Mar 24, 16:09

Guys, for the last few days I have a seen a lot of people talking about that the moratility rate is converging to 1%. - Marlowe Mar 24, 15:39 16
- I have been using broad, generalized numbers. Absolutely, no nuance to hot spots, demos, etc. Just a very broad brush to get a general idea. -- nm - VMan Mar 24, 15:54 3
  - Still amazing (in the sad way) numbers. This is no flu. The numbers are already shocking based on a fairly robust response. But IANAD. -- nm - VMan Mar 24, 15:57 2
    - Certain people are using other numbers (flu, cars, etc.) to basically say, no big deal, that's life. IMHO, imagine numbers if COVID left unchecked. -- nm - VMan Mar 24, 16:01 1
      - Yep -- nm - Marlowe Mar 24, 16:05
- Total deaths/confirmed cases will overstate the death rate. They’re (probably?) looking at places with widespread testing and extrapolating. -- nm - mafic Mar 24, 15:46 3
  - Probably, by the looks of it, they are looking at the numbers in the US, it seems. Large enough population, seems to be steady around 1-2%. - Marlowe Mar 24, 16:00 2
    - Also a death rate of 1% while not Italy's 9%, is not great if the flu is .3% -- nm - JackDawson Mar 24, 16:10 1
      - Also, we simply have no idea of the long-term impacts for those that recovered. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 24, 16:12
- I'm having trouble trusting any numbers at this point -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 15:43 1
  - Yes, of course. - Marlowe Mar 24, 15:52
- That's an average, is an order of magnitude more lethal than the flu, and understates the danger to the sick and elderly. -- nm - TWuG Mar 24, 15:42
- The rate in Florida is 1.2%. 1,412 total positive cases confirmed so far, and 18 deaths. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 24, 15:42 4
  - I don't know how people can definitely claim the rate is going to be this or that - Reagen Mar 24, 15:44 3
    - And there have definitely been deaths that they couldn't correlate to the virus yet -- nm - Tim Mar 24, 15:55 1
      - And they should not count! Really, nothing counts but the market. -- nm - Drumpf Mar 24, 15:58
    - I agree but here's some #s anyway -- (link) - mud Mar 24, 15:51
There’s something viscerally satisfying about doing a quick release on the instant pot. -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 15:28 4

  - Dude, you live in Jason Mendoza's town, we know what you all are like -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 15:32 1
    - It’s easily one of the top 10 swamp cities in northeastern Florida. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 24, 15:39
- She's basically turned into an admin mouthpiece, sadly. But I'm not sure she is wrong here. -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 15:23 7
  - Donnie is THRILLED to paint NYC as dirty. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 15:23 6
    - I'm sure he is, but he seems to think it will stay contained here. And that seems unlikely. -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 15:27 5
      - I was told again this morning I'd be perfectly safe coming into the office "There's only us here, and there are no local -- (edited) - Meg Mar 24, 15:42 4
        
        We were told that as well. 3 cases the next day. We are on rotating shifts. Half at home, half at office. -- nm - VMan Mar 24, 15:50
        
        "There are no cases here" HOW DO YOU KNOW?!?!?!?!?! - ty97 Mar 24, 15:48 2
        
        Exactly. I gave them my financial report, emphasized how thin we were running, and came the hell home. -- nm - Meg Mar 24, 15:50 1
