Question: what would the numbers look like had life gone about with concerts, schools, shopping malls, etc.?

higher for sure, but across 99% of the US hospitals weren't in the danger zone. remember, that was the ENTIRE reason for this strategy

There may be a direct correlation to data not being doomsday.

we haven't been social distancing long enough or well enough for this result, brotha

i mean JBE scolds LA daily and look at this:

How many people in the US died in March 2017, 2018, or 2019. Now, how many people in the US died in March 2020?

My guess it's less than every other year. Prove me wrong.

but you also have to think that social distancing likely mitigated thousands of cases.


But did it really? Places like Home Depot and Lowe’s have been packed the past month and People were making extra trips to the grocery stores. Also there was an increase in food deliveries, so now an extra person handles your food. People may not have been going to restaurants, bars, and shopping centers but they were still getting out of their houses.

Everything you mention, virus not as bad, hospital bed rates below capacity are a RESULT of what we been doing for the past month not in-spite of it.

it has not been long enough and we have not been doing it well enough for THIS result

look at how the modeling has had to be adjusted exponentially

look at how the VAST majority of the country didn't even approach the stress test numbers on HCPs and the reaction of doomcasting. it's insane

this simply was not nearly as bad as the various governments projected it to be and they overreacted bigly

You're the one making the claim. Prove yourself right.

If you exclude the NYC metro area and its suburbs in CONN and NJ, which represent half the cases in the entire United States and over half of the deaths, we are doing very well as a country.


If you ignore all the bad parts, it’s not bad.

JBE on Tuesday with a “spike” in deaths only: “we are not doing a good job of staying home”

JBE yesterday after data shows we are way under projections: “we are doing so well because stay at home works.”

Welcome to 2020.

30,000 dead and over 20 million filed for unemployment.

I really want to know what people’s definition of bad is.

Yep, well look at this chart of New York City deaths over the last 20 years:

NYC is an extreme outlier

quote:

this is what we got with extreme social distancing

didn't happen in NYC

sure NY/NJ/NYC should have been shut down. nobody is arguing with that Nola should have also been shut down. you can add in a handful of other hot spots. but nationally? no. absolutely not.

That 30k death number was going to happen sooner or later. What didn’t have to happen was the unemployment numbers. Get the point?

Tell that to the dead people and their families.


The people that would have died in a few months anyway. Oh the horror. Stop reading facespace please and look at the facts. The numbers are highly exaggerated and a high percentage of “covid” deaths are actually caused by something else. Die in a car wreck but have covid. Guess what COVID death, and this will all come out just give it time.

yeah it's just double speak

JBE has to keep things shut down for 2 reasons: (1) he's prioritizing Nola politics at the expense of the rest of the state and (2) b/c he has to use the longer shutdown as a justification for demanding more federal money. this is purely political
