Please...don't post your opinion as "fact".  Post "facts" as facts....with links and sources.

have been doing that, if people don't bother to read that is not my fault.   And I just re-posted again some of it.

I read they weren’t “ taking the day off “ they were working but not doing a ‘ televised’ update on Sunday. hopefully that is the case 

She should absolutely take a day off once in a while.  

She's still working on the side, just not giving a televised update.  

We have become so fixated on this numbers update that is really a tally of what's happened two weeks ago.  Let the woman take a Sunday off because she's going to be doing this for weeks (and probably months).

One of the worst mistakes society made early on was pushing the whole narrative that young people will be fine instead of the narrative of exponential spread from asymptomatic carriers. Don't mean to put the blame on anyone in particular as there is so little data in a novel pandemic like this.

Maybe I'm naive but I just don't want to believe that a lot of the younger folks out and about in groups are selfish and/or without empathy. I really, really wish that it's just a case of them not being educated on the threat of asymptomatic carriers and will smarten up as the narrative continues to change this way.

A very good point, well said.

 

That message WAS being sent and it stuck.  You're right...

I posted on a different member - a paper and a video.    I don't call them facts either because they cannot be.   Projections and simulations (by experts) are exactly that.  

 

This one may be a little hard for some people, but it looks at death rates from Wuhan.

The author of that story is

 

Douglas Carr is a financial markets and macroeconomics researcher. He has been a think tank fellow, professor, executive and investment banker.

 

Not a doctor, or anything to do with health care.

 

again

i am advocating people

take responsibility for responding to people

who appear to not be taking this crisis seriously

 

in real life

 

and online

 

we cannot leave it to our leaders in real life

we cannot leave it to the mods on here

 

to deal with every detail that we encounter

we are the ones who have to deal with this crisis

2, 3, 10 heads are better then 1

we are all in this together
