    Of course and I'm not sweeping it under the rug. 150k People on average die every day. It sucks. This may bring that average up. It's not apathy towards people dying that says I think the outlook of this thing is looking better than they predicted a few weeks ago. It's just following the numbers. Which it may get worse, I don't know. Heck, my Grandma lives in Washington, has severe respiratory problems, and is 80 years old in a few weeks, of course, I'm worried for her.

    Gotta remember that we are in the early stages and people take awhile to die, they don't croak the instant they get it.
    That combined with the lack of testing (other than NBA players, for some reason) make it impossible to know what the final mortality rate will be.

    So you are saying to go to 24 hour fitness, brush up on my three point shot and ball handling skills, get on an NBA roster and I can get tested?

    Why do all the national addresses have to be during Lets Make a Deal? I haven't seen a big deal for days now.

    Trump wants to keep the numbers low, so America goes without widespread testing. I find this unacceptable. This coronavirus is passing around the population by sick people as well as people showing no symptoms at all, meaning any and every person you meet might be a carrier. Testing will get the people who we know have it at home in quarantine or in a hospital bed depending on their condition. Not walking around with the rest of us. You can't keep America, nor the world locked up until this thing passes, just isn't going to happen.

    Trump needs to keep out of this thing and let the professionals take over here, his take over of the situation and subsequent coverups are not making people feel safe.

    Honestly I wouldn't trust what I'm hearing from any political leader.
    What I don't get is the lack of testing whether that's from Trump, or the CDC or what who knows there's a lot of information out there to build whatever case you want too, but it does seem crazy people aren't being tested on a massive scale.

    Most people thay have it, haven't been tested. And, most of them most likely won't, because there are not enough tests and only yhe sickest are being tested. We don't know the real numbers and percentages and we likely won't. But, they are much much higher than the numbers we are hearing.

    The lack of testing is because there aren't enough tests. We weren't prepared. No one was. Neither Trump, the CDC, or anyone else in the state or federal government want to take responsibility for it. Therefore we aren't hearing anything about why. They fucked up. They fucked up big. All of them.
