Folks are frustrated. One day they say up to 2 million folks will die in America from this thing.
Then it was "oh we hadn't thought about the 6 foot thing, uh, make that 200 thousand, 100 if we get lucky".
Then "oh, um err uh, we're thinking 60k to 80k but think of grandma, stay at home"
The more data they show us the more many people thought they'd been ripped off here. "I lost my job for a lousy 80k folks might die from this?" Now they're saying it could be fall before "sanctions" are lifted?
So one is too many. But now mixed messages are stirring up the population. "it's almost over" is the theme. It's not nearly over but again the people were told 2.2 million people in the by now and it aint reached 50k yet.
The whole thing is a game of chess being played by a group of world governments against a brand new virus with the power to kill some people. The governments are using strategies based on what they know at a given moment. The opponent knows nothing about chess, checkers, soccer or softball. All it knows it how to jump from host to host to host to host. The opponent has it's game mastered while government are learning how to play the game.
And as long the human race does a helluva good job at spreading disease, the disease will always find hosts. The game will continue. The novel corona will lose in time. But at what cost to the human race remains to be seen.
The place to watch now is Ohio. Holy Smokes, they're coming through the field from way behind. Will anybody catch New York? Nope not even close. But as the home of the mardi gras, the Jersey Devils, the windy city, the city of brotherly love, Motown and surfin' USA are all jockeying for position good ole Cleveland is slicing through the field with new cases.
The New York situation thankfully is on the good side of the curve. Mega mediation is paying off.
