Yep, it's gonna be a real shit show. I don't see how Biden can pull off a win with the way he's acting right now. Like, can you imagine a live debate between Trump and Joe? It would be like something out of an SNL skit.
If the country is back to guns and climate change, that's about as normal as it's going to get for me haha.
Did you read that second bill closely though? They only want to limit magazines that hold over 100 rounds. So basically no drum mags and no Al Capone cosplay. I certainly don't agree with it, but at least it would mostly be a symbolic victory.
The real irony is that I didn't even know 100 round mags exist, but now I really want one just in case they wind up making them illegal.
apologies. Rather than imply your question, maybe you can state them?
Highly Contagious=spreads easily. There are 80k-100k new cases every day. I feel that merits the "highly" qualifier. I won't argue with you if you disagree.
Deadliness: Of the "resolved" cases, 17% ended in a fatality.
However, my (poorly worded) point was that 25% of fatalities in NYC (this is what I found data for) were for people under 65.
Yes, Muntz, it's going to kill us all.

COVID-19: Data Summary - NYC Health[/QUOTE]
Let me try one more time to explain this to you: NYC is an outlier, and nobody but you guys gives a shit about the numbers in NYC. If you get time before you have to catch the subway to see a Broadway play and then eat at an amazing restaurant, look at the other links above.
This actually seems like it would make sense. 18-64 year olds probably comprise the overwhelming majority of infections. As they have in every single country.
Per this site: New York Population and Demographics (New York, NY)
The 18+ age group in NYC is 77% of the population and the 65+ group is 11%. This basically boils down to 66% of the people in NYC being between 18 and 64.
Now, if you account for the fact that pretty much no one under 18 has died, then that means 74% of the people who died, did so from a population which comprises only ~11% of the ENTIRE population, infected or not!
And that goes back to the three graphs Rip has been showing... Those are per million statistics. There are far fewer millions of 65+ people than there are millions of 18-64 year olds. Yet, per million, the 65+ age groups are clearly outpacing everyone else by a very, very long shot.
As a whole though, the 18-64 year olds probably do, by their numbers, make up 26 percent.
It is a complete mistake, though, to simply say 26% of the dead folks are 18-65 without even acknowledging the massive population dynamic differences.
Ah..I get it now. Yeah. Maybe NY is a complete outlier. I sure hope so. The situation in Montgomery, AL is fairly concernin. This chart from 3 weeks ago sorta goes to my point.
New COVID-19 Cases in New York vs. the Rest of the U.S. | Time
New York had a few factors going for it. TONS of international flights coming in, high population density and idiot governor and mayor. (Mayor even worse than the governor, if you can believe it).
