50,000 Americans aren't going to die from the coronavirus.
If 50k were to die this year and years going forward in the US, would that be ok for us to start going about our daily lives again normally, or is that not an acceptable number?

No wonder wait times are shite. Doctors are texting and on TD.
If you are being seen by my brother wait times are the least of your concerns.

Depends. If over that time, 50,000,000 were infected, it’s all good.
Signed,
The flu

This chart is either wrong, or very interesting and encouraging.

It's not. Factories are getting the all-clear and going back to work. This isn't from China saying so but American companies that manufacture there reporting so.

I don't know how he does that job whatever it is. Glad he does.

As soon as I get back on topic, one of y’all directs a response like this at me and it’s my fault. 
Chill.
Chill.

Yes, assuming China's numbers are true, their extreme quarantine measures were effective.
I would be careful about taking that to mean the curve won't make a significant turn upwards in the next month as the rest of the world deals with this virus. Can the US take as effective measures against the virus? What about Europe? Italy is getting crushed right now.

Oncologist - 50/50 research/clinic - focus on pancreatic cancer. I’m nowhere near emotionally equipped to handle that. He amazes me.

I don’t see the draconian quarantine methods flying here in the US. Hell they had a riot at Dayton last night just because they were switching to distance learning for awhile and closing down campus.

Americans aren't going to lock themselves in their homes for months.

Canceling a marching parade while everyone in the city still goes to work and school and restaurants and bars and the quarter is still open won’t make a difference
That's just wrong.
The per person density of a parade is way higher than those in school and work. It's basically impossible to have social spacing at a parade.

This suggests many mild symptom cases are present that serve as super spreaders until it hits people that are susceptible or just plain unlucky.
Which has been the narrative from the infectious disease folks since the start. This paper just adds evidence to that idea.
It's why social spacing and quarantine of infected persons is so important.

I think we can. People are going to adapt and stop going to events with other people, stop shaking hands, work from home, school will be out for summer, etc etc etc. Restaurants, Airlines, Cruises, Hotels, etc will hurt.
People will adapt. I am a believer.

And lots of testing to identify the mild cases that could be super spreaders like S Korea did.

Old people should be told to stay home. Not like a mandatory thing, but at least some type of warning.

Funny thing is that folks like stout are going to pretend that everyone said that this was going to kill everybody, claim brilliance and victory when the strawman claim didn’t happen, then go home.

If an almighty force could tell you covid-19 would kill "only" 50,000 people in the US this year, and years going forward, would you be ok with going forward without anymore cancellations and news stories?
It's a stupid hypothetical.
Are those 50,000 evenly spread across the US, or - as with this and every other pandemic and epidemic - concentrated in certain areas?
It's not even an answerable question because it is so generalized and lacking in any sense of reality.
