COVID-19 Megathread 4: Grandma Got Run Over by the Dow Jones

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

This is easily the most stupid ‘event’ I have lived through. Reopen the US economy.

Tens of millions unemployed, with half a billion worldwide being plummeted into poverty. Due to faulty and erroneous data. All for what?

You know there’s over 16,000 dead Americans from this right? As in, more than five 9/11s. You have some competition, but I do believe you may be the dumbest person on this forum.

False equivalency.

And those numbers are grossly inaccurate (inflated).

Excessive corona panic is more dangerous than coronavirus itself.

How many people have been killed by "corona panic"?

Tens of millions unemployed. A 10% spike in unemployment leads to 70,000 additional suicides. Half a billion worldwide plummeted into poverty.

Yeah, I think that’s a lot worse than the virus itself.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

How tf is it false?
The deaths are happening very rapidly and the entire city is shocked by these events. If anything, I think this is worse than 9/11.

Because the death numbers don’t distinguish between those dying with Corona vs. those dying from Corona. That’s a pretty big deal.

The projection numbers were way, way off.

The lethality percentage is much lower. In fact, German study has it now at 0.36%

I could go on.

If the data is wrong, then how can you possibly make accurate policy decisions? Answer: You can’t.

Could you explain how 16,000 deaths are inflated? Is the government purposefully over reporting deaths?

I already told you.

What the "experts" forcast as the second coming of the Black Death turned out to be a nastier version of the seasonal flu. For this we put 17 million people out of work.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Roxas, cost benefit analysis.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

I think that most experts are overestimating the amount of social distancing going on, too. Of course with a partial shutdown social distancing is going to naturally happen, but I really don’t think it’s social distancing when everyone is panicking together in the supermarket.

Additionally, Cuomo and Blasio were gravely underprepared.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

They are going to need to do another direct deposit stimulus check to individuals for May’s rent.

Why isn’t anyone in Congress talking about this with urgency?

America first?

Okay, Hillary.

Population size....what a stupid comparison.

It makes sense we have had the worst response to the coronavirus in the world, since we have the misfortune of having a President who is among the worst we have ever had since the founding of our republic.  

Heard the same thing about GWB in 2001, yet we still haven’t had a major terrorist attack since (almost 2 entire decades). Not bad for a ‘stupid’ ‘war criminal’.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Strictly speaking, shouldn’t conservatives be the ones cautious about opening up the country and the liberals be the ones wanting to open the country more willingly?

If we take the standard definitions of conservative and liberal, the two should be flipped on this issue.

Why is literally everything a conspiracy theory to the Red Avatars?

Why is literally everything a conspiracy theory to the Red Avatars?

Why do blue avatars live with their fingers stuck in their ears and their heads buried in the sand?

Nice deflection.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Why are there morons in the UK destroying 5G towers believing that 5G causes Corona? Beyond stupid. That behavior better not spread to the US in any meaningful way.

CNN did not. I was watching specifically to see if they would. They didn’t.

Johns Hopkins has the US at 24,737 deaths (last updated at 2:10 Eastern). It looks like we'll hit 25,000 dead today. Another sad milestone.

Do you count the dead for every illness, too? Weird hobby.

Coronavirus is this generation’s WMD.

Fear mongering hysteria, built on faulty intelligence. History will not be kind to the overreaction and all the tragedy brought on by the sharp economic downturn.

You won’t feel so dismissive when the fallout from this cripples your generation for the next decade.

Trump is going to ride this victory over the Invisible Enemy to a second term. “Mission Accomplished”

Hmmm....

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Cause the World is drowning, I, I live by the river

I didn’t read the article but this stuff is stupid. Of course policymakers need to run cost benefit analysis
 Sorry the world is brutal kid....

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

It’s reactions like this as to why there are downplayers of climate change. Prediction after prediction wrong. It’s hard to make sensible policy decisions when models continue to be wrong.
