    That's more interesting to me than trying to figure out the urns thing.

    Apparently they’ve been singing the rebellion song used in Hong Kong from their balconies.

    Hopefully they’re getting close to the tipping point

    When it happens, it will be like a dam breaking. It will happen in Iran at some point too.

    It isn't that different from our situation, tbh. It might be that the lesser cost at this point in time would be to carry on. But hopefully I'm wrong and someone has a better way.

    How many people normally die in that area over that span?

    I’m not sure I understand. Seems like it would be quite a bit different.

    I don't know, but I think that is the right question because they were doing this with EVERY death. The 20 million cell users going away is more interesting, though there must be something else going on as that death rate would be way too high. Maybe couldn't pay for the cell while in lock down?

    Seems like a crap ton of people would probably be unable to keep up cell phones costs simply as a result of the quarantine.

    If we keep everything shut down but don't do anything for the millions who work in the restaurant industry, or anything "event" oriented, they are all on the street. It won't be as fast, but there could be a spiral leading to really, really bad things on that level. They are talking about 30% unemployment.

    I don’t know how they do billing and that shit in a “communist” country.

    He wasn’t saying 20 million were dead just that 20 million had went offline

    By the way, US deaths are down 7 to 10k a week the last couple of weeks. Side effect of the measures is that deaths due to other things like flu seem to be declining precipitously.

    As you know from the quotes, they aren't communist in a pure sense. They are authoritarian using the guise and strings of "communism." Their economy is capitalist, but lobotomized by the Party.

    Interesting.

    Permanent " Social Distancing" in the future.

    I saw this chart the other day.

    Made me laugh because one of Clay Travis' big talking points was "more people will die from these measures than the actual virus itself." **

    ** Not to discount consequences of these measures. I just enjoy Dr. Clay looking like a dumbass.
