    Michael Smerconish opens in a video about how at the height of the HIV epidemic nobody warned us not to use condoms. And when there was an uptick in automotive fatalities they didn't tell us not to wear seatbelts...

    Why some people of color say they won't wear homemade masks - CNN

    You really don't get it do you. It's the context that matters. Not primarily the person who uses the word.

    You're completely in the wrong in that thread trying to defend that. I'll chalk it up to you being a bit ignorant of our culture.

    It's amazing how fairly sensible people get limited by social dogma at times.

    Hello from ground zero
    I don't know what to believe
    but I know what I see
    rode bike passed by
    Kings County Hospital
    Nothing going on
    passed by
    Brooklyn Methodist Hospital
    Nothing going on
    Tents empty

    They dropped two buildings
    on 3000 people and now
    Operation Winnie the flu
    I'll just wash my hands
    and do what I am told
    like a good slave

    Well, you dont really need to film the hospitals. Italy, 16,523 dead / 61 million is still only 0.027% of the population

    And US, seasonal flu death estimates a year are 20,000 to 60000 over 5 months October to April. Which looks like this

    [​IMG]

    Media have done all that, just that 700 deaths a day / 300 hospitals in Italy, ....even 10 dying per day in a hospital in Lombardy over a 24 hr period, doesnt look all that dramatic



    As for estimates/ modelling. Wuhan is miles and miles of 30,40 story apartment blocks all squished in together, in the height of their winter. The eggheads just took the numbers at the steepest part of their curve and applied that to the whole of the US

    The media is just not doing their job at all. 2.2 million was never going to happen. Theres just no one in the media saying, hang on a minute, why isnt LA going the same way as NY? How the hell was it ever going to spread the same way in some buttwipe county in Kentucky as it did in a city like Wuhan

    Hell even China didnt lock down the rest of Hubei province like it did Wuhan

    Just a collective brain fart from all involved

    I voted at 930am
    I was the only person there to vote....
    The staff was 1 person to greet me, 1 person behind a see through plexiglass wall looking me up in the ledger, 1 person to hand me the ballot and
    1 person to direct me to the booth.

    Walked in and walked out in 5 minutes

    Easy peasy

    I wore a black self made mouth and nose mask/protector :)
