Tx. Lt.gov: I'm all in on risking my health to lift social distancing guidelines for economic boost

yes, and those are LARGELY outliers and exceptions that prove the rule. The mortality rate of this worldwide largely bear that out.
But you cant contain hotspots if people are still traveling, going out to eat, etc etc. And what do you consider a hotspot? Florida has a lot of cases now are they a hot spot? Should Florida remain open for spring break so people can visit and then carry it back home?
The deaths might be outliers but permanent lung damage is also a concern and can most certainly effect younger people. Younger people are effected by this a lot more than originally thought.
We were dealing with deaths and life support here. We have absolutely no data on "permanent" lung damage to speak of.
Looks like wayne was tired of crazy running away with "stupidest motherfuker of the cooler" award.
Imagine still posting things like "bad case of the flu".
Holy shit. It would be funny if you people weren't allowed to vote.
There are stories all over the place about it. THis is new so obviously we might not have enough data on it as of now, but it is most certainly a concern, which is what I said.
Interesting that the **** it threshold was like a week of social distancing (not even true lockdown).
i honestly think the real mortality rate will fall back in line with a bad flu. everyone knows there are likely more people infected than being reported and will be ok. this drops the rate significantly but we dont have accurate models.
a friends company just informed them that the entire company will be taking a 30% pay cut for the rest of the year. i know this is just one small case, but there are likely thousands of others that are in the same place, or will be soon enough.
that question of going to work and putting food on the table or staying home and being on quarantine is going to be answered soon enough.
I honestly think you are a true dipshit for repeatedly saying your completely unscientific views.
Jesus Christ this isn't an election, your opinion doesn't matter. This is science.
Based on the cruise where everyone on board was tested (1.4%) and South Korea where everyone can get tested (1.33%). I’d say your imaginary numbers are off by an order of magnitude. The rate will be even higher once there are no hospitals or doctors that can take people in due to being overwhelmed.
Yeah, but are you taking his feelings into account? He did say he had a feeling it was going to be just like a bad case of the flu.
Little known fact: @UCFWayne 's feelings are in fact a peer reviewed study, certified for medical use in over one hundred countries. I heard the WHO is planning on taking his feeling's into account on their upcoming conclusive study of COVID 19.
Who knows what other scientific breakthroughs are being stored in wayne's feelings? The cure for cancer? Maybe the secret to cold fusion?
Wayne, please share more of your feelings with us! Scientists and mathematicians everywhere are waiting with baited breath (not due to COVID19).
lol maybe.
Its painfully obvious wayne gets 100% of his information from insane far right wing nut job sites or trump himself. He's incapable of thinking for himself. Here's trump saying the exact same bullshit.
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/03/23/820435849/fact-check-trump-says-50-000-could-die-from-flu-so-far-its-half-that?
The majority of people worldwide that contract this virus will recover without medical intervention, whether we confirm their case or not. People are going to see that the celebrities that had it are doing just fine and the athletes that had it are doing just fine and the other people in their friendship circles that got it are doing fine. That's where the balance point with this is, that you're going to have a large number of people that are seeing life move on for the overwhelming majority of covid-19 infected people and they're going to look at their basic necessities and they're going to be forced to make a decision. It's Maslow's hierarchy of needs at play; the physiological needs of food, water, warmth, and rest outweigh security and safety.
There is also a hell of a lot of noise in the numbers. In Italy, they're counting anyone that had a presumptive case of covid-19 and then died as a covid-19 death, regardless of the severity of covid. This is natural in an event that evolves this rapidly; no one is stopping to audit the diagnoses and determinations of death. We, the public, may not ever see the true numbers. Even if it is mainstream news, it'll be years later after a good amount of forensics. Not to mention that most of the models now do not take into account any development of treatments, mitigations, or vaccines.
1.) He hasn't been challenged yet, that is when experience matters.
2.) It matters when you want to reassure worried Americans
3.) Yes, there are consistent solutions. The experts are giving them to him but he isn't listening.
Ugh, they would know best. You are just prolonging the pain by not shutting it down.
This is a medical problem. Listen to the people with the most experience in medicine.
If the medical experts ran the country, it would have been shutdown weeks ago. It’s not going to happen yet. Thank God for that
I just got off the phone with my 94yo grandmother and she said "This reminds me of when Polio was going around but back then people listened to the doctors."
I refuse to believe that Trump will be dumb enough to kill half a million people. I think all his talk is just to prop up the stock market so billionaires can sell before it all fall apart.
Therein lies the problem with the numbers reported. A person with an advanced upper respiratory illness that contracts covid and dies falls into the category of death toll, when in reality that person had a high likelihood of death to begin with. It may sound cold hearted to say it this way, but it's like saying a person with advanced AIDS that succumbs to west-Nile virus died because of west-Nile.
I can see the Hannity headline now. “Trump fixes Social Security”
How did we become so dumb as a country?
If we are reopening in April cancel the stimulus. Why bailout the companies if we're going back to business as usual?
These ****ers are trying to get 2T and then work their employees literally to death at the same time.
The money is suposed to be to pay employees who are out of work. These people are crooked as shit.

I was wondering how high the numbers would have to get before the “numbers are fake” brigade started working overtime.
No country is going to let our people into their country if we don't take this seriously and I don't blame them.
(CNN)President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the nation "opened up and just raring to go by Easter," a date just more than two weeks away that few health experts believe will be sufficient in containing the spread of coronavirus.

Exactly. And we'd all be better off for it.
How can you say such a thing? By "keeping the country running minus the really contagious places," do you really think that's going to make the economy better??!?
All it is going to accomplish is making sure the entire country becomes as overwhelmed with infected people like NY, Seattle, and Atlanta currently are. Pray tell, how will THAT help the economy?
The MAGA folks with their blind loyalty will follow his advice. He's reckless.
