So, older people who have diabetes or asthma or are battling other serious problems, just stay home and die? Get out of the way, old person, so the younger folks can take over the world?
Again, when has there ever been a plague in human history when people didn't do something about it, going back thousands of years. Why should anyone do a “model” assuming “without any mitigation”?
But Rush presented the number as though the model presumed the same mitigation in effect that will result in only 60,000 deaths.
It's not Rush you have to worry about. Where were you oh say three/four weeks ago, when the media, Fauci, Birx etc hysterically pushed the 2.2 million Americans dead number, leading to massive lock downs and economic collapse?
Can someone send these numbers to the Nit-Wit Governor of Ohio, Lyin’ Mike DeWine?
DeWine’s Tombstone will read - Made Postman Jr. Kasich look good as a Governor.
The team tested 3,200 people at three Bay Area locations on Saturday using an antibody test for COVID-19 and expect to release results in the coming weeks. The data could help to prove COVID-19 arrived undetected in California much earlier than previously thought.
As of Tuesday, the state had 374 reported COVID-19 fatalities in a state of 40 million people, compared to New York which has seen 14 times as many fatalities and has a population half that of California. Social distancing could be playing a role but New York's stay-at-order went into effect on March 22, three days after California implemented its order.
For years California has been the No. 1 travel destination for Chinese tourists in the United States. Even after the U.S. halted flights from China this winter Chinese travelers were still able to come to California on flights from Europe and Canada.

Duh and duh. 1000s of people were coming/go out of LAX, SJC & SFO 24/7 up until 1/31. My sister was a missionary in SE China (below Wuhan) and could fly r/t for $350 to visit our parents in Santa Clara. I'm not kidding when I say she visited them more from China than when she was in TX. (She was one of the first flights out and had to do 14 day quarantine.)
There is no logical way that CV wasn't in Calif literally 24 hrs after it showed up in Hubei back in the fall. That's why everyone was sick this winter with the non-flu; don't worry that it knocked people (such as myself) out.
Then we start seeing the slow reveal that the vast majority of CV fatalities are at risk elderly & co-morbids (hence the disproportionate AA numbers), while young and normal healthy are a-ok.
And then the grand finale, we discover fed funds are being directed to HC providers for reimbursements if CV is noted. Not the cause of death, but just the mere presence of CV alone.
Does anyone remember the movie 'The Sting'? When the perps and money are gone, and everyone slowly realizes the extent of the scam to which they just got snookered? I would imagine in the next few days, a slow accounting of the winners and losers is going to start becoming apparent.
Death rate in Italy now is 13% and climbing.
Yup, it was assuming 60% of the population came down with it and the death rate was around 1%.
I'm calling it a BOUNTY.
How are you computing the mortality rate?
And to really drive the comparison home, just imagine how much higher the seasonal flu death count would have been if we did not have a vaccine for it?
Any guesses?
100,000? one million?
Fwiw, your Sting analogy doesn’t work because in the movie Paul Newman (Henry Gondorff) makes it a priority that the mark ( Doyle Lonigan) never knows that he has been taken.
Been in Italy and lived there for awhile years ago. I’m not surprised at the Italians being unable to effectively combat an epidemic.
Do you have any idea how corrupt their bureaucrats are there? The country literally invented the mafia.
Actually, stay home and live.
But we dressed so much cooler then!
Just read in the above transcript his point on the really big number: “We should have never used it because we never were gonna do nothing.”
200,000 dead even if we did everything perfectly! Now we are down to 60,000? End this nonsense NOW.

Agreed. I need my damn hair trimmed and roots done.
Freakin panicky petes closing all the stores
LOL! It reminds me of all the South African white farmers who were run off their farms by the indigenous people. Now, the farms are all bankrupt and in shambles, and their trying to get the original farmers to come back and fix everything.
