You assume its Trump, it could have been Fauci, you don't know.

I still say its 50:50 whether a secret service agent will flip and remove Trump as a clear and present danger to the nation and the world.

"Could we like nuke global warming? Doesn't global warming come from Antarctica? Thats what scientists are saying right?
If we piled up all the nukes in Antarctica and set them off wouldn't that work? - Lets try it, it might work, who's to say?"

1. Elect idiot
2. ?????
3. Drink bleach

NYT saying 1 in 5 new yorkers prolly already had coronavirus. we didn't even have to do herd immunity cause it looks like it mostly already happened either before or during the lockdown. i guess this also means the virus is way less deadlier than original thought, prolly fractions of a percent mortality rate i think.

i think we all owe jay an apology for real. lol he's prolly so happy to be mostly right about all of this.

Pack it up boys Jay won, open up the country, no chance of a mutation.

Lets do the maths!

If 1/5 Noo Yawkers have had it, the population is 8.4 million and 16,000 have died:

To achieve herd immunity you need 4/5 to be exposed and immune.
So 48,000 more New Yorkers have to die.

Extrapolating across a population of 330 million that gives 2.5m Americans have to die so Jay can dump his kid in kindergarten and be free of the whining.

I think its worth the sacrifice.

i didn't look at it like that. i'm not even good at math/stats anyway i just saw the article and drew a conclusion. either way it's at least somewhat good news because it shows it's not quite as deadly as previously thought. it's obviously still serious and i don't want 2.5 million ppl to die.

and mac i could see what u mean. it's not a big sample size to begin with but that's the point of samples anyway i think. u gotta advertise it otherwise no one will do it. but then it's possible by making it voluntary the people that are part of the might be risk takers anyway by going out to get tested when most ppl would just stay home unless they have symptoms. why risk exposing yourself? these ppl were probably already living life on the edge and out in public a lot etc so it's more likely they got the virus

edit: or they had symptoms a while back so now they were just curious if they really had the virus so thus they get the antibody test. i'm seeing a lot of flaws with sample studies

2.5million Americans die like every day from car crashes, no-one is going to even notice.

i remember when jay tried to use this one on me. 2.5 million people die globally each year of car crashes. lol. a little different.
