I consider reckless endangerment of the American public by spouting off lies about a public health crisis to be a high crime or misdemeanor.
Kind of dark Politico headline.
The face that launched a thousand coronavirus infections.

We still need a new thread. It’s an opportunity available to anybody who wants to seize it.

2% of a million people and 1% of 2 million people are the same number.
What we need to worry about are two things— number of deaths and number of hospitalizations. Those are both the numerators in the equation.
If we undercount infections it doesn’t matter to any significance. Does 10 vs 20 million dead worldwide make it any less a tragedy?
However the real problem is that there are likely deaths and hospitalizations that are being undercounted.
And they have already sequenced 5 different genomes in Washington state alone. Remember that the first round of 1918 flu was mild. May or may not happen again but can’t be surprised if it follows a similar path. Life evolves. Viral life faster than anything on earth.
There is no public health strategy here except to prepare for the worst. To do anything else is dereliction of duty. Trumpian if you will. If the whole thing ends up milder then so be it.
Nursing homes will be decimated. I had a Trumper acquitance point out it was just speeding up death for the weak and old. Let’s see how folks feel when grandma dies or the young people in their lives with compromised respiratory lives are cut short.

What you say the virus will keep evolving, if a person is infected with let’s call it Coronavirus Version 1.0 and survives it, is that like having been vaccinated and now they have the antibodies to protect them from Coronavirus Version 5.0?
Or are we all going to keep getting infected with each increasingly strong version of the Coronavirus and have to keep surviving them?
