Odds of Donald Trump getting Coronavirus, and Odds of DT dying from coronavirus.
That be ultimate drop-the-mic, spike-the-ball karma.

Liberty University's Jerry Falwell Jr. welcomes students back amid pandemic
One professor slammed the move in an op-ed, saying, "Falwell's lack of concern does nothing to mitigate these students likely becoming vectors of the pathogen."www.nbcnews.com
Jerry Falwell, Jr. doing his part!
Fuck Liberty and fuck Lynchburg.
He's got some of the best medical care in the world. He's not gonna die. Worst case scenario they transplant lungs from some immigrant.
This whole thing makes me really sad for the human race. Bunch of selfish assholes. Specially us Americans.
why the self loathing.....its not like you hid the virus....

United States COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
United States Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.
Extrapolating from the country given the localized nature of the hot zones is iffy, but here goes:
Doubling time on deaths is about 3 days but there aren't many data yet. Let's call it 4 to be conservative.
March 23 saw 140 deaths logged. So March 26 280, 560 on the 29th.
April 12 will be 20 days from March 23. That'd be 2^5 * 140 so if we hew to this curve then by Trump's "start the nation back up day" we will be seeing about 4,480 deaths... per day.
@Westy what are your number-divination efforts yielding in terms of predictions?
If 3.5 day doubling time holds true as per this tweet then that'd be 7,350 deaths per day on April 12 instead.
martial law then.
Yellowstone and GTNP closed indefinitely. That’s where we usually ride in April when the roads are closed to cars.
i am disappointed i will not be reading about someone being gored by a bison soon.....

5,000+ god botherer students going to live in dormitory's....... Darwin WILL be pleased/busy.
There's one of your days from @Toshi 's extrapolation above.
Actually my exponential death rate model is broken for the whole country. I assume it is due to the virus hitting different areas at later times which would increase the infected population and change the model. So what I have is simple and probably very conservative. But if things continue exponentially according to this best fit there will be 30,000 or so dead by April 12th. April 12th would be day 41 or X=41.
If I only look at recent data that matches and exponential curve well, the formula isy = 75.172e^(0.2993x). April 12th would be x=27 and the body count is 243,000
Edit: copy and pasted the wrong formula. corrected.
Churches may be full on Easter, with bodies.

tour poster could be a bunch of dead people out in the woods....or in the streets....who didn't listen...
Anybody read about denmark recovery plan?
Pretty interesting stuff. 13% of gdp direct incentive....
i,d guess it will work, given some countries will be on ruins in 6-12 months.
Those still operatiobal by then, will command a bigger marketshare of tbe global market

My investments are more important than the lives of you or your family.
-over half this country right now
It is a big gamble. It may pay off...or we are bankrupt!
Fucking 401k will be the ultimate destroyer of this nation.
No one goes bankrupt in the YU-zone.
The Germans will just anschluss you, like so many times before.
Which is why pensions are fucking amazing... And LOOK! Most of developed Europe has them, unlike us.
On a side note, if the companies that Boomers have all their money invested in go boom and the companies that they all get their pensions from go boom does that mean they become dependent on the younger generations to support them? The younger generations that they told to sit and spin? All while they are dropping like flies because the refuse to listen to anybody telling them what's actually good for them?
I know realistically that's not what's going to happen, but god damn, that would be fucking hilarious. In a very, very dark way.
An equal tragedy I'm discovering, Americans are too fucking dumb to know what a log scale is.
Apparently we left some children behind a while back.

NRA to cut salaries, brace for layoffs as coronavirus disrupts fundraising, internal memo states
The National Rifle Association is cutting salaries 20 percent and bracing for layoffs...
ETA: From your lips to FSM ears:
Glen Beck: “I would rather have my children stay home and all of us who are over 50 go in and keep this economy going and working,” he continued. “Even if we all get sick, I’d rather die than kill the country, because it’s not the economy that’s dying, it’s the country.”

which reminds me of when i left CO
old article....2018...
PERA lost $1.8 billion after brutal finish for 2018 stocks. Now public workers and taxpayers will pay more.
The hits just keep on coming for PERA, the Colorado state employees pension fund. The latest numbers mean public workers will pay even more, and get even less.

but pera was a clusterfuck when i left in 2005....
What are the odds that Trump's strategy is to say everything needs to stay open. Let governor's make the adult decisions. Blame them for any economic results and take credit if we don't end up with mass graves?
was glenn crying when he said it?Always look on the bright side of life...

so you would have been alright with trump shutting the country down in january....because you know....we trust his judgement so much?
Do you know what percentage of the stock market is made up of 401k or similar retirement plans?
If we didn’t have 401k plans, the market would be that much smaller. You’d move the risk from the individual’s portfolio to the individual’s employer. If the market/portfolio tanks, it can come back. If an employer shuts their doors, then where does that leave a retired person?
I get that the 401k is better in some situations and a pension is better in others. I can also see how the shift from pensions to 401k plans has altered the dependency on the market’ performance and values.
