    Trump won World War 3 with Iran, et al. we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Vaccines cause otherwise non-existent super-viruses to exist.

    Even if there is a vaccine they won't be able to use it safely until next year.

    Am i missing something with this curve? I saw it everywhere over the past week, but why does the flattened curve take longer to end?

    I think the curve is supposed to demonstrate that even if the preventive measures don't reduce the total number of infections, there would be a benefit by reducing the total active number of cases at any one time.

    I think social distancing will inherently reduce total cases as is. Think that graph is wrong.

    I agree that it will. I'm just saying it's intended to appeal to those who disagree with you, who might think that social distancing won't reduce cases, to help them understand that even if they are correct, that the spreading of the curve still has value.

    What is staggering to me is there STILL is a lack of readily available tests. We are a developed country, right?

    Maybe stop taking money away from healthcare/CDC to put into defense and the wall. ugh. This is being so poorly managed. The fucked up thing is how even THIS is not a wake up call. Bernie tanking is even more disappointing to me now.

    Wait I thought anti-vaxxers were the reason people got sick? Which is it?

    Don't worry. It will be alright. It will go away.

    Good news is that I think Rage Against the Machine tickets might actually be affordable now.
