Trump is doing such a great fucking job today, I’m so proud of him.
The young and healthy are the ones who can infect the elderly and sick, think before you type.
Exponential growth is not a possibility it is an ongoing reality and only stops with social distancing. You’re not understanding that we can’t add a million new patients to what we are capable of right now without overwhelming the system and causing the death rate to spike from something manageable to something horrific. The problem isn’t people being scared, the problem is people downplaying it and not staying the fuck home as much as possible for two weeks.
Great, you don’t understand math either. What a winner.
No shit, that’s what the guidelines say. The point is that if you’re going to ignore the guidelines then you need to go out of your way to avoid contact with at risk people or you could unknowingly spread it. Why is this so hard to understand for some people?
This is a totally useless comparison that you see mindlessly repeated again and again. The common flu does not threaten to overwhelm hospitals with an exponential increase in cases as we have vaccines and herd immunity. Covid-19 does threaten to overwhelm hospitals with an exponential increase in cases as we have no vaccine and no herd immunity. Thinking that Trump would do this just to avoid being pilloried is totally ridiculous. Trump is doing this because it’s a serious fucking problem and we need to listen to him.
People need a wake up call and I’m not pulling any punches over this shit. This is a serious fucking situation.
I’m honestly so fucking furious at the media right now for creating this situation. It’s beyond frustrating how so many people don’t believe this is a serious problem because the media is so fucking dishonest and has set all of their credibility on fire. This is the kind of situation where we need a media we can trust and we don’t have one. You’re exactly correct, people need to take of their US glasses for a minute and look at Italy. Look at Spain. Look at what is happening to country after country all over the world.
This is a defining moment for our generation, people need to wake the fuck up.
Swine flu didn’t threaten to overwhelm our hospitals, this does. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t attack you for choosing to go to work, I respectfully asked you to take care to avoid at risk populations since you are choosing not to follow Trump’s guidelines. Your response was fucking disgusting.
If our hospitals get overwhelmed, it will because of dumb selfish cunts like you, and not for any other reason.
If we end up slowing this thing down so that our hospitals aren’t overwhelmed, it will have absolutely nothing to do with dumb, selfish cunts like you.
Are you serious? That’s one of the most disgusting fucking things I’ve ever heard. You sound like a leftist talking about abortion. I have a mom and a grandma you dumb cunt. Old people aren’t disposable. These are human fucking lives.
First of all, just think about the fact that the numbers that you cited don’t go away just because this is happening. The Chinese Flu is in addition to the 673,000 people admitted per week, many of whom will still need care.
We have about a million hospital beds in America. Each hospital has a limited number of ICU beds and a limited number of ventilators. The virus, without social distancing, grows exponentially doubling approximately every 2-4 days. It’s just math.
Exponential growth means that it takes approximately the same amount of time to grow from 10,000 to 20,000 as it did to grow from 10 to 20.
Then from 20,000-40,000.
Then from 40,000-80,000.
You can see how this gets out of control and why Trump is doing this.
Without social distancing, it’s just a matter of time before the system falls apart due to not enough capacity. And those ICU beds are not only needed by Chinese Flu victims, like I said.
The regular seasonal flu does not threaten to overwhelm our hospitals, leaving us without enough beds for those that need care. That is the problem with this virus, it is so infectious that huge masses of people need hospitalization at the same time because of the exponential growth curve.
It’s not an over reaction at all, these guidelines are precisely what is needed to slow this thing down.
you can spread it to those who are not in good shape, is the problem. If you choose not to follow these guidelines I truly hope you take it upon yourself to avoid at risk populations as much as possible.
You think the virus is fake? Are you serious?
I have seen a lot of conservatives and Trump supporters be dismissive of this virus. I completely understand why, because the leftist, activist media is absolutely trying to stoke fear and hysteria and are trying to use this to hurt Trump as much as possible.
I urge you to please realize that just because our shithole media is ghoulishly using this does not mean that it’s not a serious problem.
It doesn’t mean we should panic, or be hysterical. I truly believe that if we all, as a nation, follow Trump’s guidelines that we will slow this thing down enough so that it will be manageable and will not overwhelm our system.
But if we don’t follow these guidelines as a nation, we will be facing a truly horrific situation.
It helps to think of this virus as a DDOS attack on our nations hospitals.
~20% of infected people require hospitalization. Without social distancing, the virus grows on an exponential curve where it approximately doubles every 2-4 days. We only have a million hospital beds in America and each hospital has a very limited number of ICU beds and ventilators. We quite literally do not have the beds or the equipment that we need to handle the numbers that we will be facing unless we follow these guidelines as a nation.
Once the 20% who require hospitalization cannot get it, the death rate shoots up.
People say “the flu kills more people” or make other such comparisons. The flu does not threaten to DDOS our nations hosptials. All of the other things that kill more people and that people like to make comparisons to do not threaten to DDOS our nations hospitals.
This does.
he isn’t asking the whole country to self-isolate for 15 days for everyone’s peace of mind, he is doing it because this is a serious problem. just because the leftist media is overhyping it doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of hype. Just like Trump said today, the problem is if we don’t slow it down with social distancing it will overwhelm our hospitals. It’s only at the point that it overwhelms the hospitals that it becomes an unmanageable situation and that is when the death rate shoots up, like what is happening in Italy.
Think of it like a DDOS attack on our hospitals.
Have you tried? You are an at risk group, if they are uneducated about how serious this is then take it upon yourself to educate them. A lot of people thought it was overhyped or was just like the flu, you have to show them these guidelines and make them understand that this is a global pandemic that you are at risk to
It depends where you are. New Jersey has imposed a curfew. I think there will be enforced quarantine of some places, like there currently is in an area of New Rochelle and on some guy in Kentucky. I agree it’s not martial law, but you’re soon not going to be able to do whatever you want in a lot of places.
They may even restrict flights within the US. If you go to Mexico there is a good chance you would face some kind of quarantine when coming back (or even on the Mexican side)
