1. Reality is even worse than that

Infectious people don’t stop at two victims, so that pattern would be even more horrendous.

5. Statistically speaking, it has an R of 2.5 last I checked.

But yes, some people are massive over-achievers.

6. Worse.

I have been hearing from a report last week in The Lancent that one study showed it has an R of 2.5 to 3.7. The data out of Italy if a showing higher than expected transmission.

13. The data get messed up because of too little testing

People who have the virus but no symptoms don't get tested and don't know they are sick, but they are spreading the disease. Deaths are a more reliable indicator but they lag the current wave of infections by about 3 weeks.

18. I have a friend who had ALL the symptoms

She still couldn't get tested. Thankfully she started getting better on her own.

17. They were able to detect live samples of it on the Diamond Princess 17 days after everyone left.

9. Yeah but rich people need workers to make money for them

as they lounge about in their 3rd vacation home far away from people.

Stimulus needs to be paid directly to affected workers who can't work from home. Not the damn "job creators". Consumers create jobs, not some benevolent CEO.

10. Just one Tramp rally

With 10 or 20 infected folks there.

11. Perfect!

12. Thats

Really good.

14. It's a slow motion chain reaction that spreads outward from the source.

Early intervention by way of the economic shutdown is the best way to contain it.

15. I would rather see a new America emerge

from this catastrophe. One that holds promise for everyone. One that more closely resembles what most Americans THINK America is now. Living wages for everyone, Executive salaries scaled way down to where they only make 20-30 times their average worker. A mass transit system (high speed rail) that works for everyone. Equal rights for ALL Americans without having an adjective to describe them, woman's rights, gay rights etc.... affordable Healthcare for all, a new tax code that taxes all income regardless of how accrued at a flat rate adjust for different income level. Immediate action on Climate Change, which in ten years will make this look like the good old days. We have been kicking this can down the road since the mid-90s and the time to act and act big is now.

I could go on, and I am sure some of you have ideas too. It is time for a change, a revolution if you will. The Republicans have had control of this country from the day Reagan was elected, and they are flushing it down the toilet, along with the rest of the world.

19. Absolutely

And how do the people ensure a peaceful transition

16. Who is more likely to stay home? A DEM.

Who is more likely to go out to the bar? A Repuke.

"Dr." Trump's advice to end self-quarantine could be a positive for us in the electoral college.
