It’s not that the rules aren’t strict enough, it’s that people are Constantly breaking them.
We have the same problem here in Australia:
Recalcitrant NTs flooded Bondi Beach on Friday, against the specific recommendation by the Prime Minister not to do so.
Most were younger people who seem to not give a rats arse about the consequences to older people and with those who have other health issues.
*They* will be ok, so bugger everyone else.
Charming.

No, it's just a fluctuation. The number of cases are growing fast and the death rates will grow fast as well.

(4) I said that I am worried about working class people losing jobs over businesses having to shut down. Not for a 2 week shutdown, but rather one lasting months on end as some (experts?) are suggesting should be done.
I do not see why anyone would have a problem with those opinions.
Well, I don't, and I am a god darn genius.

I know it could just be a fluctuation. Since these get produced every two days will have to wait until the 23rd to see what the March 22nd bar looks like. I am hoping it will be smaller.
As it stands right now, while the number of cases nearly doubled in 2 or 3 days, the number/percentage of serious cases has remained the same.
In the US right now for serious or critical cases we are at:

Out of up to 646,000 deaths from the flu, how could you possibly know none of them were healthy young medical workers?
Interesting that you feel a need to reply.
The logic behind the post is seriously flawed.
Meh.

BTW, I am seriously not a fanboy of yours.
And my religion doesn't allow partisan behaviour, because we worship the Truth, and not groupthink.
I just like the way you think.
And honestly, we do see a lot of things in a similar way.
I like your emotional discipline and your inherent rationality.
OMG!
I *do* sound like a fanboy after all

Meh.
How is it "interesting" I "needed" to reply and how is my logic seriously flawed?
I would like to see if you can put any substance to such critiques or if you are just expelling gas.

I was talking about the other guy, who shall remain nameless, posting something that lacks reason, not your post.

So far New York has had 75 deaths from covid-19 since January.
New York will pass Washington. New York will lead for a long time. Florida will later overtake New York.
Maybe, but at this point death rates are going down.
Mate, matey,
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Ah I see now. I often feel compelled to reply where logic is seriously flawed. Perhaps I will grow out of it.
