Honestly the media needs to be far far far more alarmist than they are being. People need to be panicking and afraid to leave their homes. That's the only way public officials will feel they can close bars, restaurants, etc.

Yes. We’re on track for 50,000 deaths within a month in NYC alone, if new cases keep doubling every 3 days & death rate hits 4%. And yet, the bar crawls continue.

Alex Dooley @akaDooleyAt this rate: March 23: 4800 cases March 29: 19200 cases April 4: 76,800 cases April 10: 307,200 cases April 16: 1.2 million cases 4% death rate = almost 50,000 lives lost in one month. In one city. Stop going to bars. Stop going to airports. Stop this before it’s too late. https://twitter.com/NorbertElekes/status/1239000941719949312 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
This is going off the assumption 4% is the death rate and that it will never go down, right?

It will be higher the more squeezed hospitals are. They can shave it down to .05% if they never run out of ventilators. Sadly we're on track to run out, well nobody knows, but I'm gonna go with sometime next week.

@MooseMilk1985 yes, that’s the assumption – and like@jackfruitstaken says, the less overloaded the medical system, the lower the mortality rate. Best case scenario seems to 0.5% based on numbers from South Korea (that’s half a percent, not .05%)1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
Oh, duh. I knew that!
