1. There are people on the Right just as dumb as Allyssa Milano.
Brandon is one of them.
If you think Stay At Home is about saving our seniors?
You're wrong.
It's about Flatten The Curve, which is ALL about LOGISTICS. https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2020/04/02/if-this-is-a-war-were-losing/

2. "Amateurs discuss war in terms of strategy & tactics. Professionals discuss it in terms of logistics."
Maybe Brandon's not good at math
When Brix or Fauci shows the Really Steep Curve, it represents not having enough PPE, etc by a factor of 10 - 20 times.

3. If the Really Steep Curve occurs, your hospitals are going to be overwhelmed in nothing flat, your doctors & nurses are literally going to kill themselves trying to save people & then it starts to get REALLY UGLY.
Upper Limit: 60 - 80% infected & 20+ million DEAD
Upper Limit: 60 - 80% infected & 20+ million DEAD
4. Flatten The Curve is based on the idea of shutting down 90 - 95% of the usual transmission opportunities
It gives the govt time to try to double our critical equipment capacities while at the same time trying to spread the serious infections out over time
Goal: Peak Need= 2X

5. The other thing the govt is trying to double?
The numbers of doctors & nurses who can treat the ICU patients. We don't have enough of them.
So a Cardiac ICU becomes a Covid ICU & some cardiac patients will die.
It's a Hard Fact of Life: We HAVE to preserve Doctors & Nurses.

6. We HAVE to Flatten the Curve to do that or we are automatically at Game Over.
We have to solve the PPE shortages. Personally, I am all for sunrise execution of 3M distributors who've been taking cash to sell masks in this country to other countries, pour encouragez les autres

7. Too cruel? Ok, convict them of a felony under the DPA & send them to a "Pound-Them-In-The-Azz" prison for 10 years
We either HAVE the PPE, etc we need for the doctors & nurses or we're automatically at Game Over
Hopefully, @realDonaldTrump sees the benefit of going Full DPA

8. The lesson from today, @POTUS ?
Invoke the FULL authority of the DPA now for all industries that are part of the supply chains to win this war.
We're either going to treat this as seriously as a war or we are going to lose it due to the evil & greed of the worst among us.

9. "Greedy" Cuomo needs to be reminded there is more to America than NYC.
HE's STILL demanding more ventilators, even if that means others won't have enough.
It's time to start to triage equipment needs against survivability odds.
Std influenza hospital stay is 3 days; no ICU

10. With Covid, a patient put on a respirator ties it up for 2 - 3 WEEKS
ICU rooms are expensive to build
The "infrastructure" (oxygen supply, heart monitor, etc) is almost to the level of an operating room. Having 1 patient in it for 2 - 3 weeks is a BIG hit to avail resources

11. There is an EXCELLENT book I recommend EVERYONE download from Amazon & read. It is "The Great Influenza" by John M. Barry. It covers the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic & is very readable. It will teach you to be THANKFUL for how Covid is behaving right now.
Thankful?
Thankful?
12. Yes. Covid is only touching children very lightly so far.
The Spanish Flu did not. In my father's family, it killed their 5 year old child James
That ONE death had a scarring effect on two generations
So far, we have been spared the horror of our children dying
Seniors?

13. I'm a Senior. I have no illusions. If I become seriously ill with Covid, my odds are not good because of an underlying condition.
So I have skin in this game but I'm not rooting for me.
I'm rooting for this country.
I want people to Stay At Home for my grandchildren.

14. The other thing viruses do once they are in the general population is MUTATE
Sometimes, the mutation causes milder symptoms
Or, & the Spanish Flu is an example, they become much more virulent in the 2nd Wave
My Uncle James, who I never met died in 2nd Wave of Spanish Flu

15. People complaining about the "cost to our economy" are either bad at math or selfish.
Yes, Stay At Home is REALLY bad for our economy.
But NOT Staying At Home could easily result in a pandemic the same scale as the Spanish Flu.
You guessed it, I did the math on that too.

16. Adjusted for current population, total global deaths would be:
245,000,000 (Two forty five million world wide)
Wars would start over the "remains".
Global economy collapses.
We go back to the Dark Ages.
Forgive me if I have no use for people whining about "the economy".
