The left wants people to be afraid and for everything to be shut down for November. I catch glimpses of CNN at the gym; you get the impression we're living in some post-apocalyptic Outbreak scenario

As far as I am concerned cut anyone who doesn’t want to play and revoke their scholarships. They essentially want to not play and keep scholarships plus hazed pay? Time for a piece of humble pie

let's go with 10%...death rate 0.16%...average death 73 years old....13% of population over 65... wouldn't get near your 600k.
So, you're saying the death rate of those age 65 or older is 0.16% ?

Kinda feel sorry for deer and other wildlife this fall. Nothing else to do but hunt in the south now.

flu and other common illnesses can cause terrible health outcomes and long term problems in certain people.
So, diseases that have been around for a long time, we have vaccines for, as well as some built up immunity?

Let's go with 0.25%. It's highly contagious, so, let's say without mitigation or interventions it infects 75% of the US population. At 0.25%, that's a little over 600k deaths.
The main problem is when the hospitals get overrun. In that case, you have additional deaths from people who would have been in the 99.75% that survive, but don't because they can't get treatment.
Hospitals aren't getting over run. Measures that would actually slow things down cause other deaths and issues.
Also, that 0.25% number is the overall. In order to get real projections you need to do it by age. People below the age of 60 it's much lower, like 0.001% or something like that. But then above the age of 60 it also gets higher and by the time you get above the age of 70 it goes above the 0.25%.
I recently read that almost half the deaths thus far have been people in nursing homes.

With Trumpf in the WH telling the American People that this thing is "gonna go away and disappear" and that wearing Masks is an issue of "personal freedoms" rather than saving lives and trying to control a Pandemic, what opportunity we had months ago to control this thing and save the CFB Season might have been lost, and now this weekend with those 250K a-holes assembling in Sturgis SD, cause they wanna display "muh freedoms", we'll never get on top of this virus
a-holes and their "muh freedoms" is why CFB is at risk, we're losing CFB due Trumpf and his idiot "base"
All you a-hole Trumpf apologists, the situation we find ourselves in WRT CFB is all your fault, half of those 163K dead that's your fault also, maybe overly dramatic, but if the a-hole in the WH knew early on that his "base" was upset at the way he was handling the Pandemic, then he might have made better decisions and we'd have only 81.5K dead instead of 163K dead
I wonder what Trumpf voters feel when they look at themselves in the mirror, knowing how much damage they did to this great Country of ours by putting that clown in the WH
You are such a stupid dishonest piece of shite, I can't believe you can even look in the mirror.
There were a hell of alot more BLM people running around the streets spreading this virus than there will be in Sturgis, yet you don't even bring that up.
You are the typical liberal it is all the big bad republican that is responsible for everybody's problems. And when anbody mentions anything different you are just like an ostrich and stick your head in the dirt so you don't have to hear it.

Thankfully. A result of the economy slowing down due to the restrictions -- which sucks for everyone. IMO, we could probably run the economy in a phase 3 type of structure and keep hospital capacity manageable -- if people would just follow the guidelines.

I agree.

If we call these football games protests and ANTIFA rallies will you be in favor of them? Your partisan outrage over some people enjoying freedom while others are shamed for it is typical leftist BS.

CNN showed video of bikers with rebel flags when discussing events that could lead to a spike in cases

Well this would be quite the reversal.

Hospitals get "over-run" near every year by the flu. It's hard to explain, but they do a lot of bed shuffling and such. They aren't really over-run, they just say that when they have to move beds from 1 area to another when they didn't expect it. It generally means "more than we expected" rather than "more than we can handle".
Like in the winter, they are expecting more flu cases. But then in the summer, they generally expect less flu cases, but a slight increase in trama injuries and also more elective surgeries. So they shuffle the beds around to meet that area.
So when they say "ICU is 90% full", that means 90% of the beds they had designated rather than 90% of the possible beds.
Economic shutdown is doing more damage than people realize and the stimulus packages by the government are a joke. Who in the world lives of $1200 a month much less every 6 months. Meanwhile it appears the bulk of the money is really being sent to big business because as usual that's who the government bails out and cares about.
At any rate, peoples lives are being ruined and damage is being done that might never be repaired for some people/areas on top of the deaths it's caused.

They weren't going to cancel/postpone the football season in June or July because if they did then come time for practice and games to start and things were much better then they would have egg on their faces. They were always going to take it down to the wire and see if one or more conferences flinches and make a decision. Well...they are down to the wire and something has to give.

Don't know.
But I do know when the cases/deaths are going down they talk about ending sports. When the cases are going up, they talked about the season.
There is basically no correlation between their decisions and the virus.
Not to mention the fatality rate is no where near what they originally claimed and if it had been reported accurately from the start we wouldn't have done most of the stuff we've done thus far.
It's a clusterfrick and reminds me of a drunken redneck funeral.
The fear will go away after the election. The libs will need a new disaster to hook their wagon to.
