naomi 347 Posted March 13, 2020 59 minutes ago, nobody said: I'm confident there won't be millions of people dying. I'd set the upper bound at about 1 million worldwide with the more likely scenario being about 150k dying worldwide. The measures that people are going to will limit deaths. It'll fock up the economy good and proper, but it'll limit the death toll. If we did nothing? Yes, I could see us breaching a million. Thinking more worldwide deaths than that but not astoundingly more. Probably a decent lower end ballpark there. Agreed overall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,601 Posted March 13, 2020 I am watching the trump press conference. So far so good, he takes many additional steps in the right direction. The only two things that were missing were I would like him to recommend a nation wide school shutdown and slightly less restrictive testing. Hopefully they can get to that quickly. The DJIA seems to agree, it went up the entire portion of his speech which is a stark contrast to what was happening to the futures on his previous speech. It is currently up 2%(edit 3%) from the beginning of his speech. This is what the people and market wants. We want medical actions, not rate cuts and payroll tax cuts.

Intense Observer 344 Posted March 13, 2020 Other than Trump not being a great script reader, this conference was better than expected. Removed regulations that slowed down fed gov ability to respond. Partner with private companies to get information and test kits out. 500,000 test kits available nationwide Monday. 5 million test kits available in 30 days.

Baker Boy 1,499 Posted March 13, 2020 This is all so stupid! Isolate the old and the weak and let everyone else live their normal lives. Their chance of dying from this is very small. Most of the people that need protection are the least productive members of our society so life goes on as normal. We don’t have to stop the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,280 Posted March 13, 2020 My only complaint is Trump's response to whether or not he should self-quarantine since he was possibly exposed; his answer is that he doesn't have any symptoms. That's a digby-level response. Otherwise this public/private partnership is a great message. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted March 13, 2020 I’d love a new plague to cleanse the east side of the world, would be a huge breath of fresh air for the planet as a whole. Just shave a few billion from China and India they would barely notice. A deadly sickness like Ebola kills so fast that it’s easier to contain than this thing that just gives you a slightly worse flu but takes 14 days to show itself.
