Good point. I'll turn the volume down.

The death rate in the US is 1.4% but that is confirmed cases. We know that 80% of the people who have it are not being tested for it because they have either zero or minor symptoms. When you add that to the total of cases the death rate drops dramatically but not less than the common flu.
"confirmed"Pretty audacious of you to be informed and dispute the over estimates with actual data. Remember on the first episode of Storytime with Amy and Mike, when Amy told us her estimate of 100,000 in Ohio infected and walking around. That was about 2 weeks ago give or take. If true and using your 80% estimate that won't test, subtract 80,000 with mild or no symptoms. The remaining 20,000 who have incubated by now would test positive. We have 700 infected at the moment. In that same episode they preached "we don't want to become Italy". Then Italy's death rate was 7%, worst of any country in the world. Ohio's death rate is 1.5%. Well that must be due to Amy & Mike's efforts. Or maybe it's due to major differences in age demographics, health, and population density, in addition to distancing and testing efforts. Mike's reality is Ohio is woefully underprepared from a resource perspective to handle this and the over estimates were used to sell it.
Same is happening at the national level. The liberal media must be dissappointed in the US 1.4% fatality rate, after their estimates of 3-5%. Something else is waiting in the queue to get the required 2-3 months of shuttering and economic collape. Back to work by Easter is just not going to be accepted without a fight.
I was listening to WLW radio earlier this week and a Dr. McWilliams (Andy McWilliams sports announcers son) said the virus is a quick acting killer. He has been front and center in the battle with the virus in Seattle.Also, if you think the death totals are low, just remember this virus kills slowly. Both to get symptoms and to succumb to them.
Not sure it does, DeWine is an ugly dude.That depends on what team you play for....

He mentioned that with the flue patients get weakened then sometimes expire, but with this virus, for unknown reasons, the inflammation can rise so rapidly that they are losing patients in 12 hours after onset of symptoms.
I am in no position to argue with you, but just found what you stated and what I heard to be at odds.
So will there be a Baseball season or not? How about football? Will it be impacted by this? What are your thoughts?
No baseball, the kids are not going back to school before August. At this point im not even sure if that will happen, there are things during the summer that are already being cancelled. MAYBE football will start in October if we are lucky.So will there be a Baseball season or not? How about football? Will it be impacted by this? What are your thoughts?
Opinion: No spring sports. Fall sports are 50/50 at best. And I lean towards probably not. And another concern is if we don't get a vaccine, they predict it will return next flu season.So will there be a Baseball season or not? How about football? Will it be impacted by this? What are your thoughts?
Looking at these projections, it looks like Ohio would be having very few new infections by somewhere around May 1st to May 15th.
“Gotta see packed churches for Easter Sunday!”Keep in mind that is qualified w/ continued distancing guidelines. It is still March and Potus is already buckling, with a base especially that follows dear, I mean their leader. So we'll see.
AgreeThe other factor to consider too, as much as I hate to say it. Few things spread faster or on more people at once than a football team.
We talking about viruses or the most "popular" cheerleader?The other factor to consider too, as much as I hate to say it. Few things spread faster or on more people at once than a football team.

I’m all for our shutdown. But I also recognize the greedy among us will purse the almighty dollar over life or death. That pressure will probably bring some temporary treatments that work while research ramps up for a total cure. Football this fall is questionable, but possible. Unless they have some effective treatments available, probably not. But if they do,some games with limited crowds will happen.
Why won't the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th ect. waves spread in the same way this one has, with the same fatality rates.

Depends how much if at all this virus mutates. This isn't a flu virus that mutates regularly.
If this doesn't mutate, then eventually you'll just have herd immunity just because eventually everyone either had it already or the virus just dies out before infected people infect others not already immune to it.
It also depends if our immunity to this remains for years or diminishes quickly after recovery.

There is nothing greedy about making sure an economy can support jobs, health care and financial security for millions of people.
