oops yes sorry just realized!

And btw, I agree with everyone here that the curve is flattening around many parts of the world, which is great news. 

The US is beginning to in many parts but we'll see what happens when things start going back to normal.

where is this attitude when cholera, ebola, malnutrition, dehydration, starvation, malaria, AIDs, and bacterial infection wipes out millions and millions of people in the developing world annually? 

I completely agree, that doesn't mean we should start saying "we want happy news!" Because of a virus that has literally spread around the globe in the space of three months.

we went from 200k projected deaths by august to 60k!

You're already at 40k and are having "freedom marches", if you're projected deaths went down, its thanks to the measures in places. I mean, you overtook China's count in 3 weeks, when it took them 3 months to get there.

imo things should not go back to normal until antibody tests have been administered to 30% per capita pop. The govt’s need to tap into the private sector and begin mass production of such tests.

How? By saying that America ignoring a global pandemic lead to more cases and deaths than a country that first experienced it in a far shorter time?

 

Have a sticker sweetie, certainly doing Americans proud and not falling into the stereotypes.

China's numbers are a lie. Using them as an example isn't effective.

I don't think that alone makes him a conservative. 

Excuse me? 😂 okay good bye. I am not having this conversation with you. You obviously lack an understanding of what that meant.

 

Bill Maher is not a liberal.

Saw an analysis reported by WaPo that said deaths in China are probably 40-50k. Which is more realistic and pretty consistent if you compare it to the US numbers. And take into account the drastic measures China took to slow their spread.

Oh god, you're a trump supporter arent you?

 

CHINA literally went on lockdown while your leader pretended it was a hoax by his political opponents and now there 40,000 dead and your country is gonna make up almost half the world's recorded cases.

 

So go off, I guess.

Has that been proven?

I mean, we're seeing globally that the numbers we see are only in relation to hospitalizations and tests.

 

Meaning if China is lying, the entire world is too.

 

Meaning undermining the disease for the sake of an online argument doesnt back up your point.

Read my posts here, I am not undermining the disease.

But what I am saying is China's numbers are not realistic. And China continuing to report them without perhaps saying there hasn't been much testing is just flat out lying.
