Jesus that's making a comeback now too? That came from rat shit, and I guess if people aren't around to keep the rats at bay, they'll shit on everything..... Fucking disgusting.

It's also why if you drink a canned beverage like a beer or soda, you should always clean them off first (I rarely see anyone in America do that), because those cans sit in warehouses, and rats run on top of them.
So that Chinese guy ate shit?

Luckily there are regulations in place, such as drivers licenses, traffic lines, traffic lights and speed limits

You do you brotha, i wont opine on this topic anymore since I'm probably being annoying. But (and apologies if this sounds harsh but I'm genuinely trying tonprovid friendly advice), when people repeat things in public that trump says, they unknowingly embarrass themselves. This argument is one of those illogical points by trump
I haven't watched a Trump press conference in I'm not sure how long.

From what I recall seeing about that virus, it could be contracted my either eating something a diseased rat walked on, or possibly inhaling rat shit particles... I'm not 100%. Guess I gotta go do the deep dive about Hanta now

People get it in Canada too. In fact they mostly get it where he is.
I can’t argue with your very sound logic.
It’s still a fun theory - even though it’s based purely in speculative imagination.

I agree, but I was being serious. What happens if the whole family kicks off?

luckily the science might back this move in a way. But the inevitably of the virus is just that without a breakthrough. He does sound pretty callous.
Models needs us to do a taper at the end of the shelter in place. Geographic, age, etc have all been suggested as ways to allow life and spread to coexist at a pace that can be responded to by the healthcare system
the longer we taper, the more we know about risk and treatment, the more people who survive.

The safest thing to do is have a nationwide shelter in place for 18 months until a vaccine happens. But that isn't happening either, right?
There's also a question of what is necessary and what people are willing to put up with.

Bill Gates funded venture that reviewed the London imperial college paper and while they and others all agree with the same initial lockdown for control of the virus, there is argument about what will happen afterwards with tapering. For instance Bill Gates feels the London imperial college paper is overly pessimistic and his group will be putting out another model that suggests we can come off much faster.

I don't have a way to analyze these models. It's not anything I really understand beyond the executive summaries. But that's what the experts are saying. Everyone agrees on a lockdown and there's a lot of argument about the necessity of various tapers.
