It'd be killer if it were true. Not as good as my proposal, though... - Mop May 10, 10:36 2
- You really shouldn't be shaving with your XBox. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 10, 11:36 1
  - Especially not the grizzly bear one -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 11:37
I now know three people personal friends positive for the anti bodies. (All nyc) I can’t help but wonder if the infection rate is astronomically highe - JackDawson May 10, 08:19 32
- I think it's abundantly clear that the mortality rate isn't just (identified deaths)/(identified cases) - Reagen May 10, 10:24 6
  - Yes I get all that. Knowing the true mortality rate and rate of infection are also important - in fact critical - in understanding a disease - JackDawson May 10, 10:32 4
    - I'm not saying the numbers of death are, I'm saying that % is to an extent. - Reagen May 10, 10:54 3
      - That’s fine from the perspective of assessing the past responses which are terrible and will be hard to convince me otherwise — But I also want to mov - JackDawson May 10, 11:11
      - all numbers are significantly off, even deaths, NY death certificates are 5 or 6x last year, people passing out and hitting head/not listed as c19 -- nm - zeitgeist May 10, 11:00 1
        
        There was significant amounts added to the counts a couple of weeks ago based on "presumed cases" - Reagen May 10, 11:18
  - I was told there would be no math. -- nm - Qale May 10, 10:31
- That escalated quickly. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 09:56
- That's what I don't understand. More testing will lower the death rate by math, which strengthens the case for reopening. - Dano May 10, 09:36 13
  - he's incapable of getting past the first step of strategic thinking - Reagen May 10, 10:16
  - Shouldn’t everyone’s goal be to reopen the economy as safely and as soon as safely possible? Why is this political? Shouldn’t we want to fully - JackDawson May 10, 10:01 10
    - My point is that expanded testing helps Trump make his political point so even within that viewpoint I don’t see why he wouldn’t be pushing for more. - Dano May 10, 10:26 6
      - To be honest I can’t keep track of whether he’s in favor or against testing? - JackDawson May 10, 10:31
      - There's also a portion of it that's based on Jared telling him his model says it goes to zero in two weeks so why do anything? -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:30
      - "numbers go up = bad. so what if, no numbers?" -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:28 3
        
        The more we test, the more we find! -- nm - Spawn May 10, 10:42
        
        Deaths go up is bad for sure but you don’t think a lower mortality rate can be spun? - Dano May 10, 10:38 1
        
        It absolutely could but you first have to bear the pain of a dramatic shoot up in number of cases, and he won't do that - Reagen May 10, 10:52
    - As quickly and safe as quickly possible. -- nm - POTUS May 10, 10:21
    - that Trump and others have given up on testing because they want the appearance of there not being cases. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:18 1
      - (also, it's "hard" and pretending that it's another person's job makes it feel easier) -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:19
  - Those of us who want to play Idiocracy should remember: the numbers that get shown on the tee vee machine are overall cases and overall deaths period. -- (edited) - con_carne May 10, 09:50
- Only staying at home and playing Xbox will save us. -- nm - Mop May 10, 08:55 1
  - Already right there, bud! -- nm - Qale May 10, 10:32
- Numbers game is as politicized as the virus itself. Likely only get worse thru til November -- nm - budice May 10, 08:53 2
  - Really a sad testament of America that this is the case -- nm - JackDawson May 10, 08:54 1
    - IIRC DeSantis in FL held back number reports to make it seem the virus was under control and they could reopen -- nm - budice May 10, 08:54
- Our prisons and nursing homes are coming back with very high infection rates. We are testing them not because they are showing symptoms but - con_carne May 10, 08:42
- One can hope. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 08:36
- I'm assuming I had it but was asymptomatic. I was in way too many crowded subway cars during the mass spread. - Krusty May 10, 08:31
- This belongs as its own thread whoops sorry -- nm - JackDawson May 10, 08:20 1
  - Wii won't infect you and kill your mother...just sayin -- nm - zeitgeist May 10, 10:53
Callin bs -- (edited) - budice May 10, 07:44 2
- With the PS5 rumour being $550, yeah, it seems stupidly cheap. Just give us the details! I can't wait to have some confirmed data. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 07:58
- I think I'm going to register RRODSeriesX.com -- nm - Strongbad May 10, 07:54
That would be much cheaper than I expected. I was thinking it would be closer to $600 -- nm - Krusty May 10, 07:36
