Then why do you keep posting that link?

because it's

the study our government is using to base their decisions on

You also said you think 10% of the population is walking around with Coronavirus

I absolutely do not believe it gets to within even 20% of the low end of the number the CDC predicts. We don’t live on top of each other in the vast majority of this country like they do in China or Italy or South Korea.

What a ludicrous “chart”, as if those are the only two possibilities.

within the context of this discussion, you keep missing the fact that there has only been one possibility: regulations of the entire state

i'm saying it didn't have to be the entire state, especially immediately.

that means there would be less government overreach

so i don't see how you're saying my argument isn't libertarian when my solution means less government

How about the one where none of the state is shut down completely?

that's fine, too, but it was never going to happen

If they don’t know they have then how do you?

other countries tested everyone infected people came in contact with or large population groupings to get data. that's where we're getting that data (and why the spread is so large)

LINK (in Italian)

also, there are a few natural experiments like the cruise ship that was quarantined.

"Consequently, South Korea has detected more asymptomatic, but positive cases of coronavirus than Italy, in particular among young people."

The graph suggests that although younger people may feel fine they are in fact contagious.

"The surprisingly high number of tourists that have been diagnosed with coronavirus after returning from trips to Northern Italy suggests that the unnoticed and asymptomatic spread of the virus has probably been going on there for quite some time, building up to then ravage the elderly," Backhaus says.

this says the same thing but lower than 50-75%, and possibly implies the earlier origin

That means the coronavirus is expected to kill 700,000 to 1,400,000 Americans. Some OT douches will say it's only 0.4% of the population but 1.4 million dead is serious.

Please shut the frick up dumbass.

Yes the Dow Jones closed out at 19,898 today. That sucks, but the stock market isn't always a direct view of how the economy is doing or a projection of how it will do.

Right now is a good time to get into the market because it will go back up and when it does, everybody getting fed.

Many health experts have predicted that death rates overall will decrease as the number of cases rises and testing expands. The US's experience offers evidence of that: As of Tuesday, its death rate had dropped to 1.7% from 5.9% about two weeks ago; in the 12 days between calculations, the number of people tested in the US jumped to more than 58,000 from fewer than 2,000. Widespread testing could mean a lower death rate because most COVID-19 cases — about 80% — are considered mild. But the cases tested and reported first are often those with the most severe symptoms, since those people go to the hospital. Milder cases, on the other hand, could go uncounted or get reported later on, so the true number of infected people is likely much higher than the reported total.

These dumb fricks don’t understand data. There is no way in hell the death toll will approach anywhere near the numbers mojo fricktard suggests.
