0.6% increase from the prior day...not 0.6% in the overall rate.  Yesterday there were about 18,300 death...today 18,400...that is an 0.6% increase day-to-day.  Overall death rate is 1.7% (18466/1059267).  It is hard for me to believe that you don't understand the difference. You can do what...

Here is the other thing about this...this concept that we cannot shutdown because of the economic is ridiculous.  There is no reason why the government cannot provide direct stimulus to individuals during the pandemic.  Fed and US government had no problems finding $4 trillion to prop up...

Absolutely...that's why I said we will not know what the true numbers in the middle of the pandemic.  That will need to be determined for years to come but 300K+ extra deaths means something...regardless of whether COVID is at 2% or 1%.

What?  In one day?  That's the cumulative number... There are 11 million cases in US and 250K deaths...that's 2.2%  Please stop spreading false numbers...if you truly made a mistake I would encourage you to delete or edit your last post.

1)  Weird that it's a commentary piece and not a science piece 2)  What are the data points?  What does it mean to "not contain spread" 3)  It didn't unleash a second wave?  Probably because we are still in the first wave for most of the states...CA, WA, and NY are experience 2nd waves. 4) ...

There is also a lot of studies showing that COVID deaths are probably undercounted by about 30+%... https://www.statnews.com/2020/10/20/cdc-data-excess-deaths-covid-19/ https://www.bu.edu/sph/2020/10/01/us-covid-deaths-may-be-undercounted-by-36-percent/ In fact, when we calculate flu...

So why bother with this discussion at all?  You clearly have no intent on changing your belief based upon evidence and/or science.

Not for governments and public health officials...it's malpractice and gross negligence.

Oh good..I guess we will just go on your feelings....tell me again why I should do that or why it should the basis for public policy?

No one is opening it open...this one judge decided...the State of California certainly did not condone this.  Also...your statement is flawed because people can worship without gathering at a church and can exercise outside of a gym. BTW...John MacArthur won in superior court too...the ruling...

Fatality rate of 2.2 is not low...even at 40% of the population it is 2.6 million people. The H1N1 that the vaccine treat is not current at pandemic levels...that's why last year's flu shot doesn't immune you from the flu forever.  The flu shot is generally tricky because it is unclear as to...

I am curious...is there any article that will convince you that climate change is real and materially caused by human activity?  Cause there are thousands of studies and overwhelming amount of scientists and experts who study the subject who say those things are true. 

The fundamental problem is that people don't see this as a traditional war..they see as something on the news that they don't understand so why bother.  I always love people who were like...hey 98% of people who get it survive...2% death rate is 6.6 million people....6.6 million.  That's not...

You are talking about priority...yes the elderly and young should get it first but at some point...everyone needs to get it otherwise it loses its effectiveness.  I hope that healthcare workers get the vaccine first...they are the soldiers of this war...they need as much protection as they can...

And yet there are examples from all over the world that strong coordinate centralize response to the COVID-19 virus saves lives and brings normality...but let's ignore that possibility here. Cuomo and Newsome are not saints and they have done stupid things.  There is plenty of blame to go...

Totally agree...my hope is the the new administration will right the ship. 

This is like the healthcare debate...we can't do anything like what they do elsewhere because it's too hard.  Weird that other country can figure out it.  We do not have to do exactly what Taiwan did but we can certain do a lot of it...it not be nearly as effective but it is a heck of a lot...

We know who the president is...we just have spoiled children empowered by a spoiled child president. The more we empower spoiled children, the worse they become.  There are a lot of issues in this country that can be solved but half the people thrive in the chaos while the other say "nothing we...

Actually...just before WW2...there was an extreme division as to whether the US should or should not get involved.  There was a very strong isolationalist group in the US who wanted the US to stay out of it. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/great-debate I don't disagree that we...

1)  You know that Taiwan never shutdown right?  It just recognized the problem early and start the protocols...quarantine individuals and mandated things like sanitizers and social distancing.  Have you ever seen something like this in the US? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C69Qfvk4Y9A 2) ...
