How dare you post anything optimistic!!
Trump and Pence were just asked about his comment.Because Trump hasn't told him to.
One thing you missed he was asked about Texas having checkpoints to stop vehicles leaving La and into Tx. He said he has no information that there are actual checkpoints going on, or that vehicles are being stopped. He did take a shot at Gov Abbott by saying he doesn't remember any checkpoints when Emergency Responders and other La residents went into Beaumont to conduct search and rescue operations a couple years ago. Bam!
I understand what St. PJ is saying...... I am sure most of you all do as well... and if you folks stop trying to pick apart his post for a second... I think most of you would agree with the premise of what he's saying, and maybe disagree with some finer debatable parts of his opinion about it... most of which are unknowns (even by the most "plugged in" people that are on the front lines of this) at this point and a matter of opinion and educated deduction of how future events will play out...
Is every number being reported valid? Who knows... Probably not by a long shot. Of every confirmed case where someone has been tested, hospitalized, ventilated, or died (or all of the above)... there are probably exponentially more cases where someone has it, experiences little to no symptoms, never gets tested, never gets hospitalized, and recovers without treatment (and is never part of these numbers)... so how could they be accurate from a pure numbers or percentage standpoint? We can estimate and guess based on other factors or scenarios... but those are also just that... a guess.
It makes sense that the numbers will never be close to 100% right until everyone it tested... and if we never get to test everyone... they will never be 100% accurate...
In fact, WWL showed a stat last night that... In LA only ~700 people per 100,000 has been tested for this... I'm not a math major.... but that means as a state we have tested less than >1% of our population.... and the national numbers are far less tested on average... that means that it's completely plausible that there is huge portion of the country that has the virus, has not been tested, and feels good enough to not be tested.... which totally skews the current numbers we see today...
So what he's saying is just as good as guess as anyone's... and his argument has merit..... even if you disagree with his deduction.
Can't wait until this is over so we can go back to arguing over which rich old guy we all hate the least.
Much love, stay safe, stay home... Out.
This is my sentiments and very well said, its almost as if anyone with any sort of optimism is just wrong and is just waiting to be pounced on from a Tiger. When in reality, none of us know, its all a guessing game, for every scientist or doctor you find, you always have another one contradicting the other, its what you choose to cherry pick and we dont know so cherry picking works on both sides of the fence.
Don't shoot the messenger......I just saw the number posted and someone asked for a source. Saw this posted on another site.....thought I would share it.
Coronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says, but it's still deadlier than seasonal flu
How many people die after being infected with the novel coronavirus? Fewer than previously calculated, according to a study released Monday, but still more than die from the flu.www.cnn.com

IMO, Edwards' military background has been a big plus in his manner of handling this. Our region's public health officer, Dr. Tina Stefanski has been impressive.I liked Edwards early on and then I had/have REALLY good reason to despise him, but I cant fault his handling of this situation at all. Give credit where credit is due
Then Pence said we have issued the order for ALL Americans. (read between the lines).
I'll just say this and let it be. If you're a Gov and waiting on the POTUS to tell you how to run your state then you're failing as GOV. Also if you're a Mayor waiting on the GOV well you get the idea.

Yeah, wonder how quickly will is get deployed and how widespread it will be.
It's really hard to listen to Trump speak on the virus and discuss it here in the context of the coronavirus and not make negative remarks about his abilities as president. In fact, I would say it's impossible to separate those concepts.
