    And that information was not in the linked article. Your post makes it sound like he answered my question, he did not.

    funny, unless I mis-read the post, the word opinion never appears, just you saying you are not an expert.so if it is not stated as an opinion, it must be stated as a fact, thus the need for proof.

    here is your quote "as the numbers get lower social distancing will decrease which will make the number go back higher "that to me implies you have knowledge that will happen, so I ask for your proof.i venture to say if I said removal of social distancing would not increase the numbers, how many people here would say how do I know that?

    So many variables at play. Getting it under control by June is huge, because the heat of summer will do its thing as well. The virus could mutate a lot between now and next fall. There's so many things that could go right or wrong.

    No. I answered your question. Your question was: "how is a bankrupt company with no employees going to fulfill that contract?"
    Well. We did not hire a company with "no employees".

    The company hired is very much in business and fulfilling the order. The news is 100% fake. FEMA hired a real company that is fulfilling the order.

    He was basically telling you to research the facts and you would find that answer.

    C'mon Buckeye. I rarely take dangol's side around here, ;)...but he clearly said:
    "But obviously I am no expert. I'm just saying what makes sense to me. Hopefully I'm wrong."
    That is a pretty clear statement that it is opinion and not his view of a "fact".

    Ok Dangol, I thiink I am getting soft. :)

    I just get the feeling that If I say I am no expert, but it makes sense to me that eliminating social distancing will not cause the numbers to increase how many come on mans, dislikes, worst post ever would I receive?

    This was posted before, but the graphs are starting to show the positive effects of social distancing and the other measures taken. The curve has bent on U.S. case count and the death count is beginning to bend.

    Got sidetracked and didn't finish my thought. Over that 2 week period, there were ups and down but still ended up at the same number. I think(my opinion) the decline is going to be slow.

    they are way off on their death count, they say at 9:36 36096 have died, right now worldometer says 40555 deaths, so take with more than a grain of salt.

    Yep. It looks like we are passing the 25K basecamp on our way back down the mountain. We were here on our way up on April 5.

    The 5th and the 19th are both Sunday's that tend to report low numbers.
    The 4th, 10th, 17th avg 33,000
    I think we will see 30,000 during this week, a lower weekend and then back to 25,000 before it drops for good below 25,000
    Yes its going down, I just think it will be slower than some think.

    Yeah, I'm surprised by the disparity, esp. when the NY Times site claims to be updated within the hour. The Worldometer site, though, also shows a leveling off of daily new cases. Total deaths beginning to curve.

    My apologies if any links to similar articles like this were already in this thread but I didn’t see any. Stanford medical school, which did some random sampling testing and extrapolated that out. What I like about the testing and articles are that they don’t lean left, they don’t lean right, and they don’t take a political slant. They just provide DATA.
    Not mainstream news yet until and if peer reviews of the study are completed.
