LONGTERM LOCKDOWN
Cuomo warns 80% will get virus over ‘9 months’ as Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown
Speaking about the length and severity of the crisis, Cuomo said 80% of the state's population could get sick and the crisis could last till Christmas.

“This is not a short term situation," he said. "This is not a long weekend. This is not a week. The timeline, no one can tell you. It depends on how we handle it.

“But 40 per cent up to 80 per cent of the population will wind up getting this virus.

“All we’re trying to do is slow the spread, but it will spread, it is that contagious.”
He added: “It is going to be four months, six months, nine months… It’s in that range.”

Based on New York state population, and using Cuomo's estimate of 80%, combined with the estimate here that 13% of infected will be hospitalized

• Roughly 13% of all cases have been hospitalized so far, 621 of the patients have ended up in the ICU and 157 people have died, he said.

This would mean that in the state of New York alone, more than 2,000,000 would be hospitalized for COVID-19. If we extrapolated that to include the entire US, nearly 36.5 million people would end up hospitalized. And assuming a 1% death rate, that would be 2.8 million deaths across the US - which is approximately the same as the number of deaths for ALL OTHER CAUSES COMBINED in one year in the US.

Oh it's much worst than that, once the hospitals are over capacity and you run out of ventilators and supplies, that 1% death rate becomes much higher and so does the death rate for all the other causes. Your looking at 10-20% death rate total.

Hey, don’t worry. The govt says not to panic buy or hoard, there will be plenty of food. They also said don’t worry about the stock exchange and don’t sell your stocks. Be in it for the long haul. They also are saying don’t worry about taking your money out of the bank, it’s safe...... trump is saying this will all be over very shortly and the economy will be better than ever.
I’m saying hang on to your underwater for this ride.

I doubt it will be over shortly. Hope I’m wrong. The hoarding thing bothered me until I listened to the details. It is people hoarding those masks that our First Line Medical folks so desperately need. The President has a call to make...end the isolation laws in a few weeks and let people go back to work ...or keep it and let our economy and therefore our country crash and burn. What would you do?

Dont forget guys once cities like NY LA SF etc get overwhelmed its citizens are going to start heading your way.

As the coronavirus pandemic tightens its grip on California’s largest cities, some residents are fleeing urban sprawl and seeking shelter in isolated communities in the Mojave Desert or rugged Sierra Nevada. Their hope, they say, is to avoid possible public unrest and limit their exposure to the virus.

These new urban immigrants are not entirely welcome, however. Locals fear their arrival could overwhelm the public health systems of small towns already struggling to cope with the growing crisis, and public health officials worry the movement will lead to greater spread of the highly contagious virus.

It really is likely that things will get ugly before this thing is over. It’s like watching a sci fi movie in real time. Just be as careful as you can out there. Let’s hope there are enough good people out there in the world to outnumber the bad ones...

AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE BY COMMUNISTS: Pelosi’s 1,400-Page CV – Bill Stuffed with Pork

I read about the pork. No words to describe doing what she and Schumer are doing!

Did you see where she is demanding in this bill that NON AMERICANS are given our jobs?!!

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Dr Fauci is making it clear to journos that there is not a problem between him and the President. Of course it’s not what journalists are pushing to the public.

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: That is really unfortunate. I would wish that would stop because we have a much bigger problem here than trying to point out differences. They really, fundamentally, at the core when you look at it, there are not differences. The president has listened to what I’ve said with the other people on the task force have said. When I’ve made recommendations, he’s taken them. He’s never countered and overridden me. The idea of pitting one against the other is just not helpful and I’d wish that would stop so we can look ahead at the challenge we have together to get over this thing. “

Same in the UK doc, unwanted city slickers are proving very unwelcome in Devon, Cornwall, durham, Northumberland, Scotland and Wales

Sorry my good American friends but the ONLY people to blame for the mess blighting your amazing country is YOURSELVES. After WW2 the US led the way to outlaw extreme far RIGHT Socialism ( Nazism / Fascism etc) but you did not outlaw far left wing socialism ( Marxism, Lenism, Communism etc) and you were warned many times over the years by your own great elder statesmens that the Democrats would over time become borderline marxists obsessed with destroying the US. The last time ANY democrats truly cared about the US was in the 1960s.

Some of us have been fighting it tooth and nail all along Bill.

Never once did I vote for a socialist. Sorry Bill. Not my doing. It is so easy to say all Americans are to blame when in FACT, it is the current Dems holding all of America hostage for their socialist wetdreams!

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Oh, and trying to make a distinction between Nazism and Marxism is a waste of time and breathe. ALL SOCIALISM is pure poison to the people...and pure power to the ruling class! Our Constitution is against anything except freedom and Rule of Law by The People.

Take a deep breath Peachie. You are not on the bandwagon and need your strength for your baby. Those who make their true faces visible in this crisis, will pay the bill in the future and in the polling booths...Calm down and keep tracking. Love your feisty way...Gary

Taking in a cleansing breathe...and out. Okay. When you are right Gary, you are right. I am a bit feisty at times.
