I don't know why something so easily disproved is being repeated so often. The worst-case of an economic shutdown is not worse than 2 million dead people. Added bonus: the economic outcome of 2 million dead people is bad too, perhaps w

> I'll take the bait. Don't. The Bay Areas infection numbers, despite their early exposure, are excellent. Early and aggressive shelter in place orders are to thank. Everything else is noise.

They are making a calculation that a global run on masks would hurt efforts to contain spread due to shortages for medical professionals confronting the virus everyday, as opposed to general public confrontation which is more sporadic. Shou

The domestic supply of disinformation has always outpaced the foreign supply. That doesn't mean they both don't exist and can and do have an affect.

They share the same mentality that every criminal has always held to justify their crimes, "it's a bad world and i'm just part of it". Trump says the same thing often, too.

15% seems to be an average number for an area with known community spread. It was in Korea, it was in Germany. If you are getting less than that, you aren't testing enough people. ALso if your number is far higher you might be only tes
