Redietz, is this the model you used to make all your doom and gloom predictions?

I was reading that Whitmer shut down many Non-Essential Medical and Dental Procedures.
However, she said that Abortions are Imperative and Essential.
Heil Whitmer... this lady in the pic spelled it wrong but I get the point.
Good story on how flawed the model used to project deaths could be.
Basically they overprojected and now are saying measures put into place made the initial projections incorrect to justify their mistakes. And now we risk keeping America locked down under that false assumption.
It’s a good read for anyone that has the time. Of course Howard Hughes Redietz walking around in his paper towel covered house will say we need to go with the 1918 model. Hopefully he doesn’t use 100 year old figures in his sports picks. Guess he hasn’t got over betting it all on the 1919 Chicago White Sox.

Another thing I picked up on this morning. The first case of swine flu in U.S was in early April, 2009. A vaccine was in use by October 2009, just six months later.

Something many of us have been saying for a while. Stanford, certainly not a conservative college feels in their area up to 80x more people have been infected.
“That said, the early findings indicate that between 48,000 and 81,000 residents in Santa Clara County were infected as of April 1, back when the official count was 956. The estimate is based on 3,330 blood samples that were taken from volunteers in Mountain View, Los Gatos and San Jose on April 3 and April 4 and tested for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 .”

Certainly not good news for Howard Hughes and his Chicken Little 1918 nonsense.
It still comes back to 99.9% of people who are not in the High Risk groups get sick and move on. Unless of course you work for CNN and get it, then you make it sound like you wanted to die.
History will show this as Political and an Overreaction that hurt the country financially for years.
This came from Ann Coulter:
With cities and states facing huge budget deficits from shutdown, who should be laid off first?
Police
Fire Fighters
EMTs
Teachers
Diversity Coordinators

That’s a good question for MidWest Player. He’s the one who’s proud of voting for these liberal Democrats.
That’s right, I almost forget, MWP is really an “Independent”. But everybody knows what a true “Independent” is...it’s a Democrat that is too embarrassed to admit they’re a Democrat.
More wasted tax dollars in California. Damn they hate their citizens.

Typical liberals, we know what’s best for you. Any American Citizen stuck in that shithole deserves what they get at this point. It’s clear the government hates Americans and loves illegals.
Pretty harsh, but pretty accurate assessment there Boz....As someone that was born and raised here, I can tell you it was not always like this. There are many things about Cal, and particularly SoCal that are great, and up until 5 or so years ago I couldn`t imagine living anywhere else....but with this tree hugging liberal government here seemingly embracing every immigrant mutt and filthy hobo on the planet, its no longer what it was....The bums and illegal cockroaches are welcomed here with open arms. You can`t really go to any establishment without someone trying to speak Spanish to you, or go to the market without seeing some fat pig with ankles the size of grapefruits and wearing flip flops and toting around her 6 kids while her husband stands in front of a Home Depot bullshitting with his amigos all day....My work, family, the beach, snow,racetracks,casinos, great restaurants, great looking women are all still here, but when I`m of retirement age, I`m on the first think smoking and heading East
Keep your friends close, keep your drinks closer...
Key, - we left San Diego 15 years ago this June. Was the best decision we ever made. Was born and raised there. My parents have passed but my brother and in-laws are still down there. We went down in early January to see family before covid fears were on anyone's mind. Aside from family and great restaurants I hated it. Urban, suburbia hell. The street I grew up on where we didn't come in til the street lights came on was wall to wall parked cars on both sides of the street and in people's driveways. As if there were multiple families living in every house. Horrible. I keep telling my brother that he doesn't have to stay in one place his whole life. When he visits us he marvels at how quiet it is, all the trees and wildlife and best of all the distance between properties measured in acres instead of feet.
Danny, am surprised to hear that, I love me some San Diego!...only 2 hours from L.A. but always thought of it as light years. Especially some of of the surrounding cities like Del Mar, La Jolla and Carlsbad....I always thought of myself as a big city person. I never have minded the traffic much and actually enjoy the action and hustle and bustle that a major metropolis has to offer. I live in a pretty quiet suburb of LA so I kinda got the best of both words, or so I thought....Its everything else that I mentioned in my post above that makes me sick...Those trees and wildlife and quiet you mentioned are sounding more appealing by the day
Yeah JP, I`m sure we could fill this section up for hours lol....I don`t qualify for that stimulus thing myself, but have read that illegals will be getting one, which is mind boggling to say the least...Pretty sure you will see an influx of new Iphones and 2005 Escalades with 22" rims being purchased with the repo companies hot in pursuit in about 3-4 months
I hesitated if I should post this link, since it pretty much supports what redietz, Kj and others have been saying. But in an effort to be transparent, I thought it was important for everybody to see it. This link shows how the Covid-19 deaths have been growing day by day, and has even became the leading cause of death for a day or two. It's amazing how fast the death rate grew for Covid-19.

This is showing all age groups, and doesn't separate the people by age. I expect this graph with time would look much different for different age groups.
But regardless of how you look at this data, this is a dangerous virus and something to be taken seriously. I know this is stating the obvious.
I still like Sweden's model, open things up and trust people to behave responsibly. Hunkering down in our basement is not going to get us through this. Wearing masks appears to be the best way to protect ourselves when we're out and about.
