Name a subject that involves 'modeling' and I'll show you a fuckup.

just as an example, look at global warming over the decades, and they still have not got the models even close.

I'm surprised there's anyone left to die from COVID since we all died from climate change and net neutrality.

Well no shit. They’re there to take non Wuflu patients. Which makes sense. And there’s not many.

Furthermore, overwhelmingly the people requiring mechanical ventilation or dying from corona chan are old (65+++) and/or obese and have multiple co morbidities.

Plus theres been a surplus of medical personnel standing around for weeks in NYC.

All the operating rooms, clinics, etc., have been closed across the country for weeks so now you have gaggles of docs, nurses and techs just chilling.

It's like the weather morons causing panic because a wind gust of 15 MPH to them means tell the public a cat 5 hurricane is coming.

Someone in the military once told me that the cost to just turn on a big ship, such as an aircraft carrier, or battleship, costs over a million dollars. I'm not sure what the medical ships cost, but it's probably expensive. Better safe, than sorry. But, yea.. I think this is going to go down as a big over panic situation. Shit like that happens when you have 1 party wanting to 'burn it down' because they can't get elected.

I went on a cruise and the welcome aboard people were saying it takes so much effort to shut down and restart the engine that they leave it running in port for 8 hour instead. And at normal cruising speed they burn one gallon per second of gas.

Not apples to apples, but for sense of scale....

The carriers run on nuclear power and only need to be refueled every 20 years.

I nearly facepalmed when I heard the ships were going. #emptyhospitals was trending, and democrats were asking for help, so I was pretty sure it was a waste of money

....they are in place, ahead of need. That is called being prepared. These ships are for taking the cases that coronavirus will push out of the hospitals.

When all is said and done, we need to send a bill to NY and LA for the hourly cost to have 1000 hospital beds sit idle.

This is two Democrat mayors lying about the severity of the problem in their cities in order to make Trump look bad.

So, let me get this straight. There thousands of people stuck on cruise ships on open seas around the world, but we're sending two huge medical ships to two cities with a handful of people on them because Democrat Governors are lying?

This whole affair is what we call in Chile a Tongo, which is a fast rising fear or fad that all the hipsters talk about and which disappears in a week or two. This thing is the flu for heaven's sake. The amount of Americans that have died is infinitesimal.

Out of around 350,000,000 Amricans, 6927 Americans have died. That is 0.0019%

This is just bullshit. If you are healthy and under 60 years old, you are as likely to be killed by a meteor strike as you are to be killed by Coronavirus

This thing is a Tongo and nobody has the nerve to say it out loud.

Ok pedes, I will take the other side of this a bit here, The ships are for overflow of regular patients pushed out of hospitals if they clear a whole floor for The Wuhan. I said IF, as in IF everyone keeps mingling and The Wuhan gets out of hand. If that is not the reason, then the ships are for handy conspiracy theories like:

A) Rescuing the breeders and child slaves B) Detaining swamp rats then on to GITMO.

And for the real hard core...

C). Enslaving US for the new world order. (Ima not so sure bout that one. )
