re: #493 Khal Wimpo (not drinking damn fish tank cleaner)

What makes me really freak is when I extrapolate out from now, to what things will be like if this really peaks in late June, with ~100,000 deaths/day.

For those saying those kinds of numbers are science fiction, well, when we look at predictions of 2.2 million, to get to that level, we’d need 22 days of 100K/day.

What does that actually look like in the U.S.? Basically, all the worst parts of all the dystopian movies.

And that’s not even the worst-worse case, which is 8.8 million deaths.

Christ, I need a drink.

If we were space marines checking in on a mining planet that had lost contact with Earth and coronavirus were aliens, then Trump would be the Paul Reiser character trying to take some back in order to get the corporate economy going again.
