I thought I would be way over. Now it looks like I'll be way under.

For 2 months they told people masks were unnecessary and even dangerous...wrong, then they said to stay inside - now it turns out outside is way better. Why should anyone listen to them on anything?

Many didn't take this pandemic threat seriously. Especially the right wing science deniers and CNN and MSNBC haters.
Don't forget to take your Hydrochlorquine pills along with your chewable Clorox tablets.

The only thing they said was that Trump was a "racist" for cancelling China related flights.

The only people he stop from flying into America were Chinese Nationalist. 50,000 people still flew in from China after the bigoted travel restrictions were put in place. Also at that time, even 2 weeks prior, all major airlines already stop flights to and from China.
Valuist, now you tell us about Trump's European travel ban that excluded countries where Trump had golf resorts.
He added the Ireland and UK a couple days later. What is the relevance of the golf resorts? Who's going to play golf in the UK or Ireland in March when they have a residence in South Florida? Makes no sense.
The word "expert" has taken a real hit over the past two months.

Good point about the secondary effects of COVID-19.
Fear/worry is one of the effects.
Suicide, alcoholism and domestic abuse are other issues.
Why are we still "quarantining" the healthy?

Millions of cases, small amounts of death.
The last pandemic (H1N1) lasted approximately 16 months when the World Health Organization declared an end to the world pandemic on August 10, 2010.
Our immune systems are weakening as we shelter in place.

Many, many millions of cases, Cuomo had new anti body test results today - 15% of the state now has the antibodies, that's about 3 million just there, nationwide it's prob 25-30 million already.
Geez, that would have been "maybe a good point for me to research before making my wager," lol.
Although it's not quite like there was a lot to be gained for the time in this particular contest. But I'd have felt real effing savvy knowing that.
Bakersfield, California and Manhattan, New York are different.
As the line goes from I Robot, "that, detective, is the right question."
Brings to mind the Latin phrase: "cui bono?"
Simply noting a few of the points made during Birdie's recommended video.
Similar piece, although it seems like everyone writing on all the various sides has a string of letters behind their names.

Who stands to gain?
Square, do you speak Latin or any foreign languages?
I'm still mad at my high school counselor for suggesting I take French 101 back in the late 1970's.
Ugh.
Spanish or Latin would have been the way to go.
Though, the smart language choice today, I understand, is Mandarin.

I never saw a link in Rail's original post, but I assumed that he was linking the video from this same basic article/interview:

"Speak" would be a bit of an overstatement, in any of those languages.
Started with a year of Spanish in high school, but they didn't have a second year, so I did first year French instead the next year. And then stayed with French for 16 credit hours in college, because I'd already started, needed the language requirement for my liberal arts degree, and, well, the French version of Louisiana's Civil Code of 1825 still governs where there's been no intervening changes in a provision, and I was heading to law school.
And you pick up Latin phrases here and there, especially in law. There's always the internet these days to fill in the blanks.
Have dabbled with Spanish via sundry methods since college and law school -- it's more practical these days -- but I still speak Spanish mas o menos, mas menos que mas.
Was about to start dabbling instead in Mandarin as had been going out with a girl from Hunan, but she's currently stuck on the other side of the US after having gone back to the PRC for the lunar new year, so that's on hold for a bit.
Anyway -- immersion is the best way to learn a language. With Spanish, when I've gone south of the border and forced myself into situations where I needed to speak and understand the language to get through, my level of fluency has increased exponentially. You no doubt have picked up Spanish very well having spent all that time with Ticas in Costa Rica.
Si si si.
When the Ticas ask for a propina, I suddenly lose all my Spanish-speaking abilities.
