Its called freedom.
Or utter stupidity, depending on your view on this matter.


Liberty is not stupid. I can respect your right to live your life as you choose. Try doing that.
That's quite the reach there my friend. But please keep flying the flag.


I will. Hopefully you'll find that nanny state comforting.
You are so angry for no reason. It's crazy.




No, I'm concerned, not angry.

There are more who have tested positive who won't die from this.


Sure. That doesnt mean that it supercedes what I just said. Basically you're choosing the least scientific and most optimistic outcome is correct. Which is just blissful ignorance, frankly.

Now that testing is being done it is not surprising we are seeing increases in cases.

Increases in cases and recovery of most could bring the mortality rate down significantly as well.

It has been ONLY 72!hours since my last banning for defending my conservative values against liberal snowflake cupcakes and the LIBERAL Mod’s that protect them! Fairness is a myth!

Deaths are the only stat that matters, not the number of cases. I don't see deaths increasing exponentially.
You have to learn to look at it through the eyes of a fear monger.


What exactly does that mean? Deaths are growing exponentially.
In Italy, deaths went down (793 to 651).
We have seen this movie before. Government over-hypes a threat as an excuse to grab more of our freedoms. When the “threat” is over, however, they never give us our freedoms back...Ron Paul

I stop all my predictions once we hit 150 million. Growth rate at that point has to slowdown. But at that point, that's only 1.5 million dead.
Why does it HAVE to slow down at150M ? Why not 200M, 500M, 1B?. Could it not also slow down at 5M, 20M?

Yeah. Not angry. But really really wrong

When this is over we will all likely know and love someone who either dies or is permanently damaged by the virus, even with extreme measures in place

However it could be even worse if we just relax and go back to normal life now.

I happen to believe government involvement will almost completely recede when the virus does. its easy to get frustrated when the people who disagree seem to have no appreciation for the complexity of the situation and simply go full throttle on the "evil gubmit" meme (it just sounds so dumb in this situation)

...I said it here before: anyone who ignores the government orders and their families should be denied a hospital bed and ventilator and be held criminally and civilly liable for anyone they make sick (directly or indirectly)

My concern is the destruction of our economy and people losing their jobs, thus preventing them from caring for themselves and others. It's people like you alarmists trying to frame me as not caring about the sick. I very much do. I just think if people are so scared of this disease, then be an adult and handle it yourself. Lock yourself down. If I chose to continue to live and work, I am also putting myself at jeopardy. You just focus on what I might do to someone else who has all the abilities to remove themselves from the risk as they see fit.

Here's the million dollar question..what is our standard going forward? Do we lock down for pneumonia? Why not? Diarrhea? why not? The common cold? why not. A generational monster has now been created because of a thin veil of false security put forth by politicians. Playing your game, why do you want people to lose their livelihoods?

First, I don't see how I am an alarmist. People screaming about liberties are the alarmists.

I am also very concerned about the economy and people losing their jobs. I am almost certainly going to lose mine. But I would not consider listening to CDC projections and acting on them as being alarmist. If those predictions are even remotely true the economy was going to be wrecked anyway. It's not like this was going to run it's course and not have a devastating effect on the economy. That is, again, if you are willing to believe people who know much more about this than you do.

Your million dollar question is not one that anyone really needs to answer. This is not the flu. It is not the common cold. It is not pneumonia(by itself) It is not Diarrhea. That paragraph itself is a perfect example of real fear mongering.

No way to answer that without also considering the economic cost of letting it all go.

But in the abstract I agree with you. Reducing death by itself is not an absolute indicator. That would be like saying we should ban driving because people die in cars.

Edit to say that I dont think that is what he meant.
