Trump tweeted today

The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

He's a fucking lunatic who is going to be responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths.

Virginia Pastor Who Said COVID-19 Was Anti-Trump “Mass Hysteria” Dies of Virus
BY BO GARDINER

MARCH 26, 2020




Yesterday, one of the first deaths of a Virginia resident from COVID-19 was a Christian musical evangelist who, believing the pandemic response to be anti-Trump “mass hysteria,” took his family to New Orleans to “wash it from its Sin and debauchery.”

A Gretna man who had double pneumonia and tested positive for COVID-19 in Concord North Carolina died around 4 a.m. Wednesday, the family reports.

Landon Spradlin, 66, was an accomplished blues musician who pastored several different churches over the years.

Spradlin was in New Orleans with his wife, Jean Spradlin, when he started getting sick. On their way back to Gretna on March 17, his condition worsened to the point where he could hardly breathe…

The Roanoke Times described Spradlin as a “traveling musical minister” and “fine guitarist” with a “powerful soul-blues voice,” at one time “a significant part of the Roanoke-area blues scene.”

On his Facebook page, Spradlin had posted many photos and videos of his family, his band, and himself performing and sightseeing in New Orleans beginning on what seems February 21 through March 10. Much of his time appeared to be in crowded Jackson Square, where his band played in what he called his “Jackson Square Ministry.” Other locations included performing in intimate music clubs, dining in restaurants, and walking on Bourbon Street.

On Feb. 28, he posted “We had an awesome Mardi Gras outreach this year. Many were touched by the power and love of Jesus!!”

Well... apparently he was touched by somebody, but not Jesus.

So the story so far...

I do work in the field of medical statistics and so going to the people that know about this stuff rather than failed businessmen with a hunch here are the best stats we have at the moment.

Twice as infectious as flu, ten times as deadly.

The chance of death is the same as it is for anything else. i.e. it isn't an old person's disease it simply kills in proportion to the usual deaths by age background lifestyle etc. It just does it quicker and so this disease if you do nothing kills about a years worth of extra people. So a years worth of 80 year old fat people with asthma is lot more than a years worth of 30 year old runners but the numbers are in proportion. The do nothing number for the UK is/was around 600 000 dead.

The US would then be around 5 times that by population, take a bit off for a much more spread out population add a bunch due to mixed messages form Trump. That could be 3 million dead in the worst case scenario, the Trump scenario of get back to work or I might no t get re-elected scenario.

Locally, in my county of Erie, about 250 confirmed, five dead all in their 70's or 80's. But the local hospitals are now deploying medical triage tents outside for the coming storm...
