if we don't smash the annual flu deaths with the Chinese virus , will you still feel the same … with our economy gone as we know it
red eye...

I am neither a medical professional nor a financial advisor...

At this point all we can do is follow their guidance...

It is too easy to be monday morning QB and second guess...

If you have any useful solid advice to how we stop the spread or save our investments please post us your advice in detail...

this was my post from 2 days ago..

History will show that we have made a monumental mistake shutting down the economy over the Kung flu..

Certain steps should be and have been taken... shutting down travel to badly infected areas was a good move... Quarantining older people maybe even to a mandatory level should have been another .

The rest of us carry on.. If you're sick stay home just like any other time with any other sickness..

State a major health alert.. people can take precautions as needed..

Mob, his partner Stock , and the other fools here are part of the liberal victim pool.. They want and need the govt to be there for them. A transition into a socialist republic the goal. If you're from the projects , a great goal..

When we see the final death toll here , we will have another interesting conversation..

Since no country has really tried the herd immunity strategy, we really don't know how it would've gone. If we can fade this with relatively little damage in terms of health comes, it'll likely be because of the actions we took. So to say "Oh it was only XYZ deaths" would be pure logical fallacy.

My guess is not well given the litany of health issues Americans already face, data shows this thing ain't kind to high blood sugar levels.

Americans inject sugar into their veins, I don't see the herd immunity working well here.

But I will say this, our shutdown is a total half measure. No point in making the economy go up in flames if fools are at the beach or the entire country isn't shutdown. Either do it or don't, we're straddling the fence which is stupid.

Totally agree. All in or all out but stop the middle nonsense.

Exponential growth is used when you have a fixed variable, ie a set interest rate. Nothing is fixed in these cases therefore it is folly to use exponential growth when determining future growth! Plus it is too small of a sample. Case in point, when I first started this thread there was 1 death in Canada, five days later there's 8. Using exponential growth means the death toll multiplies 8 times over a course of 5 days! Now if this was to hold true, Canada would cease to exist in less than 50 days!!

You used the term doubled and exponential growth on the same page, (page 20) Using a doubling exponential growth the entire US population will be infected in 32 days!!

The herd immunity concept is an interesting one and may very well work in certain parts of the world, but you’re spot on that the US isn’t one of those places. Trying to accelerate the spread to the younger/healthier portion of the population, while isolating the at risk community, can create herd immunity and stop the spread as there aren’t enough uninfected bodies for the virus to continue spreading at an exponential rate.

The issue for the US is most experts state you need a 60% infection rate to achieve herd immunity and our population has a +60% at risk pool, possibly higher when you factor in those who care for a parent or grandparent, thus indirectly moving them and their entire family in the at risk profile. We simply couldn’t get to the 60% without exposing a significant portion of those at risk.

Totally agree on half-measures, there’s absolutely no evidence that these partial precautions will have a material impact on the spread, it’s got to be all or nothing.

No big deal though since not many have died.

Atleast Draftkings and Fanduel should have good deposit bonuses in the fall to get people back. Ain't no one keeping their $ in there during these times, lol.

Assuming the NFL isn't permanently cancelled. That's all I have to add.

Haha, you’re absolutely right and I’ll be taking full advantage as I’m certain you will as well.

Red eye, is there something wrong with you. My parents are in there 80's. They get the flu shot every year. They have never gotten the flu. They are both not in the greatest of health. I know this virus is most likely going to kill them. We should be worried about our parents and grandparents. Everything has to be shut down. We have to take care of the ones we love. Fuck work, who can constraint at work with this going on. I am a manger at a warehouse, my mind is not with work. I love mu job, but I love my love ones more. I live in New jersey, the cases are tripling every day.

nothing is wrong with me.. I hope your parents are safe and stay healthy. You should do everything you can to keep them safe.. I posted earlier , a quarantine for older people should have been mandatory , along with these travel restrictions.. doing the same with my Dad, he's older..

Bro, calm the fuck down.

Just tell them to stay in the house and not answer the door. Do they have their supplies?

The worst thing you can as their son is to panic. Come on man. Get yourself together.

Jesus, that is depressing.

Maybe get them an AirBnB in a more remote location if you are that worried?

Got a friend that just got a sick deal on a place by the lake in the Southwest.
