This is a very interesting article

What I find so unusual about this article and study is that Hanson is a co-lead and spokesperson for this study. This seems really far out of the purview of a right wing political commenter and military historian from the Hoover Institute https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Davis_Hanson

In a TMZ interview on Wednesday, Spell shrugged off critics who say he is putting his congregants at risk of contracting COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
“The Bible teaches us to be absent from our bodies as to be present with the Lord,” said Spell, a Pentecostal preacher. “Like any zealot or like any pure religious person, death looks to them like a welcome friend. True Christians do not mind dying. They fear living in fear.”
It seems about the level of science understanding one would expect from a right wing political commenter and military historian. but, hell, I'm no epidemeewhateverist, maybe a strain less nasty got spread there and died out and the strain now blowing us up is closely enough related that they kept immunity. Otherwise...... how would it have just stopped in California in the fall?
So I was talking to my ex wife today and she said she is pretty sure the flu is actally chemical warfare being spread by airplanes boy that girl like to party coke and heavy drinking
Sounds fun.
His point is that like most people, he has no understanding of exponential growth. 5 things increasing at 25% a day sounds far less scary than 80,000 things that changes little each year. It's hard to see that in only 2 months, those 5 thinks become 3 million.
5 * 1.25^60 = 3,262,652
Who would worry over 5 thinks? Danger not obvious and very real.
Lol,

Just did my first grocery trip in about 3 weeks.
Probably about 60-70% wearing masks.
Grocery’s are now making masks optional but not required.
Can’t see why they are dragging their feet.
Watched a 70ish maybe early 80’s man come out of the store, no mask no gloves. Open car door, sit down, pull out a donut, take a bite, lick fingers.
I frequently wish I could be as oblivious or unconcerned.
At the store today that had marks on the floor where you were supposed to wait for checkout. I'm standing on my mark and lady comes up the aisle and inserts herself between me and the person in front of me. I was too stunned to say anything.
They had the lanes marked as one way but no one was paying attention to that.
the death rate is about 0.00007 in Sweden 700/population of 10 mil and they stayed open, usa is .00005. even if the infection rate is off by a factor of 10 due to lack of testing, death and hospitalization rate is not and the infection rate is probably off due to lack of testing whoch means the usa is lower than .00005. staying open but maintaining distance would not be exponential increase in hospitalization and deaths or the rates would be much higher in countries with poor medical care.
