    No Newsome is the only thing keeping the Dems from being even worse than the numbers I showed.

    The numbers show these draconian lockdowns aren't helping whatsoever once the stuff has taken hold. Probably keeps things about the same when someone was prepared like Gov Newsome in CA. Many bigger state Dems really botched this it appears and these crazy strict lockdowns are doing nothing to change the outlook compared to the states who didn't go that far like TX and FL etc.

    The numbers don't lie like the so called experts ruining the economy even more.

    What numbers are you talking about? No offense but you seem to be all over the road at times and it's hard to follow you. You jumped from number of cases to this.

    So the governors you've criticized resoundingly for "overreacting" are doing a poor job, and the ones you proclaimed smart by not enacting restrictions are doing a great job. Extending that mindset, the best way to keep everyone safe would be to do nothing. Genius.

    With that pretzel logic you could easily be in Trump's cabinet.

    The US population under Democrat control is approx 53% but they make up 84% of the passings. And the Dems are the ones doing these draconian no- work or anything lockdowns mostly because of Trump and its not changing their performance to the Rep states that aren't hardly doing them that strict.

    Newsome has done a good job but the draconian lockdown hasn't made that possible. Cuomo made major mistakes early on with this.

    If you believe any numbers coming out of a country that threw out all of our journalist and imprisoned scientists, then I am sorry.

    Ain't that the thing. If we don't trust China's numbers, it is toward the belief that their numbers are far worse than reported. And if they are far worse than reported, then we have to worry about this pandemic being far worse than we might realize.

    Once again, you are throwing out numbers but you are not showing where you are getting these numbers from. I'll give you that Dems control approx 53% of the people but how does the rest tie into your argument? In other words, why do you think the 84% is an indication of some nefarious carrying on by the Dems? As I said earlier maybe they are testing more or maybe large cities in their states have an effect. To draw the conclusions you are based on what you're saying is the cause is highly circumspect.

    Maybe he thinks social distancing is causing the outbreak? The key is to gather en masse so that the viruses have a turf war? Who the hell knows with this guy.

    Expect a lot of this in the next 2 weeks as we top in a few days and then start going down.

    Read the responses Fever. He ALWAYS had a model that showed much fewer deaths IF we took action. The numbers are going down BECAUSE of social distancing.

    Yes we are doing well, but only because of distancing. Here is the fact check of your post:
    FACT CHECK: No, There's No 'Drastic Revision' In the Coronavirus Modeling

    Don't even bother quoting tweets with no blue check or at least a credible link attached.

    It's looking like the United States will surpass Italy and China in the next day or two to become the nation with the most confirmed cases. Possibly by tonight sometime at the rate it's been climbing.

    well since we have about 6-8 times the population of them combined not unexpected, but the death rare is about1.4 comparred to theirs.
