I guess people don’t see what we’re going thru in NY, not smart to open anything up.
In terms of numbers, none of my info was wrong and the fact that you would even suggest such a thing means
Everything was from the most recent official totals as collected by Coronavirus Update (Live): 2,940,755 Cases and 203,818 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer
The only place I see where I would alter is that I hadn't realized how little some parts of the South had warmed up. Atlanta? I just looked at weather.com and MOST of the days in March their high didn't even reach 70, lows were pretty much in the 40s and 50s. Even in April most days highs were in the 60s or low 70s, the projected high for TODAY is 64 with a low of 46. That means Atlanta generally only been a little below the ideal spreading temperature of 50 degrees, close enough that other factors (date and # of initial infections, population density, people following distancing rules, or poor population health) likely become more important anyway. So talking about Atlanta ain't really good evidence for what's happening in the tropical/equatorial,countries.
I'm not sure what you're saying there? Ebola is not a respiratory disease, it spreads in a profoundly different manner than coronavirus. I've been fascinated with ebola since the outbreaks in the mid-1990s and studied it intensively in university, you can trust I've been paying attention but don't see where the connection to this conversation is.
btw, fantastic read for ebola and a large variety of other emerging diseases is The Coming Plague, which is why I've expected something like this to happen since 20 years ago.

I don’t know but people are that desperate to go to restaurants and public places in a pandemic where people dying by the minute? I don’t think so.

Boy ya'll social awkward mofos on here mad at this.
I agree we won't have an "accurate count" from Brazil/India, but if you are at the point where you're even talking about counting then you're conceding the point.
India literally borders China and had plenty of early cases from both locals and tourists coming from almost every hotspot, they have extremely high population density, the general population doesn't practice social distancing at all, the average health is poor, and their medical system has low capacity compared to their needs. They had an early massive spreading event where a fringe Muslim group had a mass meeting in Delhi back in early March and over 1000 people at the conference got sick and then returned to their homes all over the country. And yet....India's coronavirus wards have been sitting virtually empty for two months. Some of them literally ARE empty, as in they've had zero patients this entire time.
It's not like we should be comparing America and India to see who has more cases. India should have FAR more deaths, at least 10 times more than America if not 100 times more when you consider all the factors against them. And yet instead they have 50 times fewer deaths. Even if you claim India is missing half their cases, or even 80% of their cases, it still doesn't add up to a USA-level situation. I plenty contacts across the country and everyone on the ground is saying the same thing - it just ain't hit still.
That doesn't mean that it won't get worse there. But even if it's gonna get worse eventually, it's clearly getting worse much much more slowly. And that's strong evidence that higher temperature is having a positive effect.
Just to show I ain't making this shyt up:
Warm, humid weather linked to slower spread of coronavirus, says MIT study

Will warmer weather help slow the spread of coronavirus?
Now, the degree of effect that warm weather has, the degree to which it will continue to help, remains an open question. Those of us who care about the rest of the world obviously hopes that it helps "a LOT". But the truth is, even if it does, there's still November/December to worry about.

Kenya only got 345 Confirmed cases. 14 deaths. And we out about every day but with masks. The places where the cases popped up. Which is mostly Nairobi aren't allowed to travel out of the city.
Current city I'm in as this blows over has zero cases. Zero deaths.
I'm waiting for this dumb shyt to be over and to see the shyt we'll be forced to do next. Forced vaccinations for one.
Breh no hate but chinese or any other nasty disease carrying race aint trying to visit Africa. Yall safe as fukk out there compared to places like NY and LA.

Personal pleasure is not the reason.... the reason GA is opening back up is an economic and financial one.... A lot of cats aren't effected by the pandemic from a financial standpoint, and there a lot of people who can't work and have virtually no income..... the citizens with no income at the moment are the loudest voices in favor of the state opening back up

The economy is gonna suffer after this is all done with regardless, look at NY right now. We're one of the biggest cities that hold lot of the economic power all thoughout the states and everything is shut down. They're currently speaking on opening up stuff but that's only if things get a little better. It's still too early to tell. I'm guessing they're watching other states and whether not their cases start to climb up due to opening up shop.
