Why and why not?

how are you determining the death rate?

Is it? Children seem to get the flu at a rate of 2.5* that of adults https://www.livescience.com/50020-influenza-a-frequency.html

Buffalo has a lot of very good eats, though they can be quite spread out and even hard to know about. Buffalo has the best sushi I've ever had (Kuni's) the best Sandwich I've ever had (Desi's), the best Chicken wing (nine eleven), the best breakfast (Nick's Place), the best margarita (Cantina Loco) and some other assorted big wins like really great Vietnamese at Dollar Pho on Grant Street. However, there isn't a lot of depth there outside of the pizza/wings category. I've been quite unimpressed with higher end or even your traditional upscale New American dining in Buffalo, but then again we didn't have an opportunity to try all that much last we lived there.

Good luck with your campaign. I think you'll find it a difficult one.

You're free to wage that campaign, but we aren't discussing solving the flu here. If that's what passes for brilliant, RIP our education system.

I don't even have kids and I never will. As a general rule, I don't even like them, but I don't want them to die if it can be prevented.

I love the smell of logical fallacies.

I vehemently disagree

Might as well include the whole quote: "The Swedish public health authority announced in late April that the capital city, Stockholm, was “showing signs of herd immunity” – estimating that about half its population had been infected. The authority had to backtrack two weeks later, however, when the results of their own antibody study revealed just 7.3% had been infected. But the number of deaths and infections in Stockholm is falling rather than increasing – despite the fact that Sweden hasn’t enforced a lockdown." This isn't science - it's claiming you knew something would happen all along and giving it an explanation after the fact. There are so many variables in the equation that to credit herd immunity without a detailed explanation is scientifically irresponsible.

This surely aged poorly https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-03-22/coronavirus-outbreak-nobel-laureate

I don't need to google your confirmation bias. You clearly have no idea what herd immunity is.

How many will?

If that's how long it takes the virus hoaxers. Took South Korea, Germany, France, etc considerably less time, but America loves nothing if not overindulgence.

Based ont he definitions, I think it's pretty clear Ben is Tier 1, assuming injury plays no role in the list. Dak is too high, Netwon (If injury isn't a factor) and Garoppolo too low, and Murray is too high. Tannehill is probably 6 games removed form Tier 4 status, but if he keeps it up, good for him. Otherwise, it all seems plausible. If he improves his passing game further, he'll really suck to have in our conference.

Presuming we'll ever even have a vaccine seems very optimistic given there are only around 20 viral vaccines. I think we need to put out the fire first, and then worry about moving back into the house. When our case count starts to look more like Europe, it'll be more appropriate to make those things a priority.

And you believe you're not politicizing a virus, so lol. Take a look in the mirror, sport.

Dangerous can't be quantified by just deaths. Completely healthy young people are having strokes, heart attacks and organ failure possibly due to thickening of blood.

Because one party has politicized a pandemic and made it about identity politics and "freedoms" and the constitution or whatever. The house is burning down and while most people are trying to fix it, one specific group of people is trying to say we should be trying to move back in because 5sqft of the livingroom is fine.

Yea, but he's saying because you're immune for 4 weeks, that my statement of "no immunity" is technical false bECaUsE 4 wEeKs iSnT zEro.

I already did. People are reporting no antibodies after weeks or months. When we've had a raging pandemic for 5 months with no signs of slowing down, that means it could continue in perpetuity. Politics? Maybe from you. I only care about my country.

That's just semantics. It's effectively true.

Why should our starting point be that "schools need to reopen"? Who agreed to that? I'm not saying its wrong, but why do you get to set the terms? This comes down to the value of life in preventable deaths and disability, and the party of "pro-life" and "family values" has taken a very hypocritical, but not unsurprising, stance here. People talking about re-opening are looking downfield before they've caught the ball, and we all know how that works out.

When people think of post-virus immunity, they typically think forever, like measles, smallpox, etc. Not a few weeks or months. That type of immunity is effectively useles sin a country that's operating like the US. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/studies-report-rapid-loss-of-covid-19-antibodies-67650

Every time I see people talk about herd immunity, it just seems they have no idea what it actually means. If everyone has to get a virus for you to have "herd immunity" than there is no benefit at all. You might as well put everyone in a room and spray them with the virus to get it over with. Herd immunity is only useful when there's a vaccine or natural immunity. Otherwise it's called getting infected. This is also forgetting that there may be no post-infection immunity from this virus.
