We all knew this was coming........ that as the total predicted deaths falls as a result of stay at home orders, right wingers would be incapable of understanding the "cause and effect" of the situation. So as the death predictions drop, they take it as a sign that there was never really a crisis, not that measures taken to reduce the number of deaths are exactly WHY the amount of deaths are dropping.

social distancing a little longer but I think it's a fair trade off.

It's they who will discover just how powerful the hoax is when they or their friends and relatives succumb to it. Ah, they can call it a curse, if they like, as is found on some tombs.
What a tombstone that would make: "I still think it was a democrat hoax!"

(2,747 posts).. the red states are just starting to get clobbered.
What's the difference between state governors who act and governors who don't?
Washington state - Dem governor Inslee - is projected to have 700 Covid deaths... 8 million population. And, if you remember, WA was an early epicenter.
Georgia - Repub governor Kemp - is projected to have 2,630 Covid deaths... 4 million population.
IHME projections are just that... projections. But the way the different states confront this virus can make huge differences. The projections can go UP as easily as down, when all the factors are considered.
