This is a blueprint for government to control the populace. As I said originally it might not be in a week, month or year, but it will happen over time. It will all stem from a grave overreaction to a pandemic.

Super funny, but does it change your opinion?

Please stop being dramatic. I never said do nothing. I have been worried about this since the first or second week of January and feel that we are taking mostly appropriate measures and wish that the entire populace had taken it more seriously from the jump instead of relegating it to conspiracy status.
But acting like the global case numbers will increase by 40% in 12 hours or double TWICE by Wednesday is insanity.
Why is it insane? You are the one that seems overly emotional about this. I am not an engineer and can handle reason. 321k as of today according the WSJ, globally. 500k tomorrow isn't out of the question. 1 million by Wednesday is a continued increase in growth rate.
Hopefully it isn't true, but it is possible and isn't "insanity" as you say.

Wow... certain. Maybe that is just what you want to believe. Some of you guys have a serious case of confirmation bias.

How does my liberty make you unsafe? Am I infringing on your rights?
Nope. I am 100% certain there are differences in 1918 and 2020.

If we would merely wall off all the liberal states, the rest of us would survive at an astronomically high clip.. likely higher than 99.9%.

What firebreaks do we have to stop this? What slows it down?
You know. Variables and stuff.

Second question isn't remotely what I said. That being said, to your first question, if you are carrying a deadly virus and choose to leave your house and spread it to others, at the very least you are negligent and at worst making a conscious decision to inflict harm on others. Just because you are healthy now doesn't mean you aren't part of the problem.
It's the reason we have laws. Flip the script on the scenario, you do not have the right do whatever you want if it brings harm on others. If you break those laws, you face consequences. These are things, as a society, view as necessary to protect the well being of most while also having freedom.

The difference is that spreading a virus across the country and the globe occurs faster in 2020 than 1918.

Both of you guys are having a hard time adjusting to these changes. In a grown up way, you guys are throwing a fit.

Ok, yes, lots of differences.
But local shutdowns, restrictions on certain businesses, public gatherings... all have precedent.

What exactly does that mean? Deaths are growing exponentially.

Deaths, as shown earlier in the thread are on an exponential, and more importantly are a lagging indicator. It's a huge mistake to take the total number of deaths and divide by the total number of cases as deaths are probably ~5 days behind case count. It's really not that hard to understand. There are a number of people who have tested positive for this disease that will die, that haven't yet.
There are more who have tested positive who won't die from this.

And even more who haven't tested positive who have it and won't die from this.
There are people who are infected, who haven't gotten ill yet, who will die.
And even more who have it or have had it and never got tested and won't die from this, but will die from something else.

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.
