Shoutout to that Pastor who held Sunday service for 1000 people yesterday. If her prediction is accurate we are fukked until all states collective agree to shutdown orders.

200k?

The initial numbers were between 200k and 1.7 million.

I'm sure they're doing the best they can but it seems like it's far too early to be making these kinds of predictions. That spread is crazy. Not trying to downplay 200k dead but that number is not even in the ballpark of what normally kills American annually.

Fred.

These people need to read this story. In 1918 Philadelphia threw a parade in the middle of the H1N1 pandemic, and it led to an outbreak that is blamed for killing **12,000** people:

Philadelphia Threw a WWI Parade That Gave Thousands of Onlookers the Flu | History | Smithsonian Magazine

Yep I learned of that on Roland Martin's show. There was a bkack doctor from NO who talked about the story.

St Louis and Philly both were about to have parades. St. Louis cancelled theirs, but philly went ahead with theirs. Philly ended up having thousands of deaths because of the spread of the virus from the parade.

But St. Louis barely had any deaths. All because they cancelled their parade. Medical folks still refer to this incident when discussing social distancing.

Which also points to the slow folks that social distancing isn't new. It a measure that has been around for a long time.

California is determined to wipe itself out

Conjoined twins after surgery: Separated and a success (2016) 03:34
(CNN)Dr. James T. Goodrich, the neurosurgeon who allowed CNN inside a remarkable operation to separate twins Jadon and Anias McDonald, died on Monday after complications related to Covid-19, according to the hospital where he worked.

"Dr. Goodrich was a beacon of our institution and he will be truly missed," said Montefiore Medicine CEO Dr. Philip O. Ozuah. "His expertise and ability were second only to his kind heart and manner."


Separating Jadon & Anias

The hospital described Goodrich as a "humble and truly caring man" who "did not crave the limelight and was beloved by his colleagues and staff." They spoke of his skills as a neurosurgeon, but also of his spirit, including how he baked cookies during the holidays and hand-delivered them to nurses.
"Jim was in many ways the heart and soul of our department - a master surgeon, a world-class educator, and a beloved colleague for all," Dr. Emad Eskandar, chair of the department of neurosurgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center said. "His sudden loss is heart-breaking and his memory will always remain foremost in our thoughts."


The hospital called Goodrich a pioneer in the field of helping children with complex neurological conditions; he developed a multi-stage approach for separating craniopagus twins, like Jadon and Anias McDonald, who were fused at the brain and skull.
Goodrich was thrust into the spotlight in 2004 when he operated on Carl and Clarence Aguirre, twins from the Philippines who shared about 8 centimeters of brain tissue. In 2016, Goodrich led a team of 40 doctors in a 27-hour surgery at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx to separate Anias and Jadon, who were 13 months old when they were separated. CNN was in the operating room with Goodrich and the team as the boys were separated.



It marked the seventh separation surgery performed by Goodrich -- and just the 59th craniopagus separation surgery in the world since 1952.
The doctor, with his tufts of gray hair and beard, was known for his incredible skill with his hands, but also his heart. He kept in touch often with patients he operated on. Families spoke about how he would never forget the children's birthdays, and always be there for those special milestones, ones he helped make possible.
Separating conjoined twins is "actually pretty awesome," he told CNN before the McDonald brothers' operation. "It's chaotic ...
"We've got it down to a fine art, but in the beginning, it was a bit of a challenge."

Goodrich, who was in this 70s, spent more than 30 years at Montefiore Einstein and was the director of the Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Montefiore and a professor of clinical neurological surgery, pediatrics, plastic and reconstructive surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Goodrich was originally from Oregon and served as a Marine during the Vietnam war, Montefiore Einstein said, and he was known for his passion for historical artifacts, travel and surfing. He is survived by his wife and three sisters

The fukked up part we as a nation have the ability (from a technical stand point and resources standpoint) to slow down the spread of the virus.

But because we have a lack of leadership in the white house and americans have become so anti intelligence and anti science (along with not taking shyt serious). That in itself is helping spread the virus so fast (along with getting folks killed).
