Typical is reportedly 20-plus percent of cases needing hospital care. So if it’s not shelter in place it’s going to hit all of them by the time this is “over”.

Um…
She pauses her round-the-clock sucking of Trump’s mushroom, to tell us what we already know?
She’s SO on top of this.
The funny thing is, I breezed through the headline and skimmed the piece and didn’t find anything surprising about it. I didn’t realize it was satire until I saw the byline Borowitz.

So, when I was a temp, I once had an assignment in a small room at a lab.
I was told to sort all the documents alphabetically into folders.
About 10 minutes into my task, a chimpanzee was let into the room with me.
As I continued sorting documents, The chimpanzee would slap my face and scream at me. Then he would piss and shit all over the documents I was trying to sort. Then he would climb up on me shitting and pissing, shitting and pissing.
I could hardly get any work done.
This whole coronavirus thing is kind of like that.
I bet you can guess who the chimp is…

First, did Birx clear it from Covidiot Trump that she is going to say that? She could get fired or sidelined…
Second, she was clearly singing the sycophantic song for Covidiot Trump preciously, so IDK if she has credibility now…
Third, if she is telling the truth, is it the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Meaning what about the impact to the suburban and rural areas who has less medical capacity than the urban areas? She could be giving the rural areas false sense of complacency that can get them killed if they do not prepare.

Neighbors across the street are having a party. At least half dozen cars have shown up in past fifteen minutes. Glad they rarely cross to my side.

Ummmm, also:
Birx’s "19 of 50 low-impacted is nearly 40%!!” is of THE STATES,
BUT NOT THE POPULATION.
LA COUNTY’S 10+ Million PEOPLE is more than 10 STATES and DC combined:
~ Maine
~ New Hampshire
~ Rhode Island
~ Montana
~ Delaware
~ South Dakota
~ Alaska
~ North Dakota
~ District of Columbia
~ Vermont
~ Wyoming …
… combined have only have 9.8 million!
MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF HER “LOW-IMPACTED” 19 STATES AND DC COMBINED HAS LESS AMERICANS THAN A SINGLE COUNTY!
WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE UNDER THESE MORONS!!

Ok, my mistake, absolutely. 18 tons. I’m wrong. I agreed it was “humanitarian.” I have absolutely no idea what you mean by “The US for the last few years have raised all the drawbridges for shortsighted xenophobic reasons and those chickens are coming home to roost in the worst of ways…”
So, please explain this to me, as I am so “moronic.”
I like this. It is a very different summary of potentially helpful data. My favorite source to follow has been:

It’s a fine line in today’s political world. But there’s no mistaking what this is. I won’t send the image that’s with this article because it’s a pic of him with an over the top orange face.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—At long last invoking the Defense Production Act, Donald J. Trump has ordered the nation’s factories to begin mass-producing gallons of spray tan.
Speaking at the White House on Tuesday, Trump said that, because millions of Americans have been forced to remain indoors, the country’s stockpiles of fake-tan reserves have fallen to “dangerously low” levels.
“I sent Mike Pence out to buy some yesterday, and he went to store after store and they were all out,” Trump said. “It’s a disgraceful situation.”

What’s terrifying is that they have smart people whose entire job is to figure out what subset of the numbers can be spun to sound good.

Pretty sure this is no different than Hitler warning Jewish communities/neighborhoods. We are targeted for death if we live in a liberal population center. Realize that. We will get no help.and no succor and our fellow Murikkkans won’t lift a finger to help because this is their chance to be rid of us. The aid will be reserved to save the KKKult, the loyal, those who might vote for the permanent.minority-rules white christian hegemony. All others may as well be lepers.

I don’t know what the racists and crazies in the administration thought, but if they think this is only going to impact cities, they are sadly mistaken. I listened carefully to Governor Cuomo talking about New York and he is preparing for the crisis to spread state wide. it will be rolling up in some towns and cities as the crest breaks and falls in others. The trends in several other states including Texas and Florida don’t look good.
When thinking about Florida, remember it arrived in Miami first, but recently the governor kept the beaches open for spring break and the amusement parks in Orlando were open for business. I think Orlando is going to be really hard hit as are several other towns and cities in central and northern Florida.
There is one good thing going on in Florida. Because so many of us are seniors, people are taking the stay at home orders very seriously.
