Death rate is near H1N1.

infection rate is much higher though, which means more people die. Are you sure that's what you said?

Infection rate is higher, yep. But we're looking at a mortality rate that is somewhere between 0.2 and 0.3. The more antibody testing they do, the more they see that there are millions of people that have already had it. Over 25% of NYC has had it. Over 20% of the surrounding counties and northern New Jersey have already had it. It was rough at first for the hospitals, mostly because they were unprepared with PPE, but now that the spare hospital capacity has been built up and we've seen the smaller mortality rate, we should be going back to work. 2x or 3x the normal influenza annual deaths is not nothing, but it's not the catastrophe that was predicted by institutions like Imperial College.

We can't keep letting the most risk-averse among us drive the response. It's done real damage.

2-3x the ANNUAL flu rate in 3 months.

I agree - science and statistics should lead policy. It should be fairly simple - look at the spread vs. infected vs. available health resources, and open up society in phases accordingly.

What shouldn't happen is fat fucks in hunting gear and airsoft LARPING gear storming government buildings, and politicians encouraging that type of action. What shouldn't happen is people creating a false narrative that this was all just an overblown response. What shouldn't happen is people giving the federal government a pass on their terrible responses thus far.

My wife and I both had positive antibody tests. We're breaking out of quarantine to visit friends tomorrow for the first time in almost two months.

where did u get the antibody test from? i know ppl aren't certain how effective they are yet etc etc but i'm curious. i wanna get tested. i'm pretty certain i had it (maybe asymptomatic) considering i work and spend a lot of time in the parts of LA that got hit the hardest so far. i also traveled and was on several different flights in the weeks leading up to the lockdown.

what were your symptoms like btw? i heard something that the virus may have been around since last fall/winter in the states. i got pretty sick around december. horrible cough that lasted about 2 weeks and high fever the first few nights plus loss of taste (weirdest thing which i've never really experienced before)

@Ken or better yet where did u get yours from since you're in socal. i haven't seen any advertising for the antibody test out here wtf.

Agreed, but who the fuck elects a woman named Gretchen and expects logic? It's the most Karen name ever.

The LARPing is stupid, but so were a lot of her restrictions. Can't buy seeds? Come on.

where does this affectation of misogyny come from in your posting lately? is that big on the national review too?

you should respect women. wasn't your mother good to you?

thank you for your contribution.

i do not hate religion or christianity. i am glad you brought attention to the importance of women.

i would like to know how master logic wielder jay thinks stereotypes about women being 'not logical' hold any water. like his claims that liberals are 'emotional', i suppose.

i found a cute picture in my inbox when browsing through our storied past. a sweet remembrance. back in happier times.



(l--r): dilbert, me and jay.

smiles all around!

Women are the more logical and overall better balanced of the two genders. Look up the crime stats. The overwhelming majority of violent crime is committed by men.

this is a guy denigrating a state leader for being a woman without logic whilst thinking trump is doing a great job. trump thinks logic is a strip club in atlantic city.

no i've just noticed you parroting the 'karen' stuff a lot here today and more recently posted a bunch of stuff about 'voting like a woman',  'thinking like a woman'.

it's very noticeable. i'm not a feminist. i'm just amused where you acquire these affectations from.

If your state reopens do any of you plan to actually go out?

But jay just got the sniffles. Why is everyone overreacting so much.

Jay's wholeheartedly adopted the Karen meme. Maybe he's having a good chortle at the "boomer remover" one too while he replaces the other half of his wardrobe with virus sale clothing.

has anyone seen the alex jones freakout video where he talks about gutting and skinning his neighbours to feed his children?

he's like 'i will sacrifice all of you for my family'.



it's like word-for-word exactly the same thing jay said when he last lost his temper (well, not last time, no, not the time before last, the time before that ...). wah wah wah i don't care if all of you have to die so that myyyy children can go to kindergarten.

it's amazing how all these right-wing logic bros are going absolutely loopy after one month at home by themselves. how many times has jay totally lost his temper and lashed out in the last month? he's beginning to crack. not even building raccoon shelters is proving therapeutic.
