It is an objective fact, that the more people buy guns, the more abject idiots will own guns.
The percentage of idiot gun ownership only depends on what percentage of the population you consider an abject idiot.
Itās NYC, no surprise the gender is listed as pending for a lot of folks.

Lol! Nice one.
I was looking at the āunderlying conditions pendingā column. I have no idea how they determine that one
Perhaps the patient record indicates them but they havenāt updated the data yet?
Edit: it could also just be as simple as ānot yet determined.ā

For two months of containment to be better than two weeks of containment, the situation on the ground has to change
There is a simple truth behind the problems with these modeling conclusions. The duration of containment efforts does not matter , if transmission rates return to normal when they end, and mortality rates have not improved. This is simply because as long as a large majority of the population remains uninfected, lifting containment measures will lead to an epidemic almost as large as would happen without having mitigations in place at all.
This is not to say that there are not good reasons to use mitigations as a delay tactic. For example, we may hope to use the months we buy with containment measures to improve hospital capacity, in the hopes of achieving a reduction in the mortality rate. We might even wish to use these months just to consider our options as a society and formulate a strategy. But mitigations themselves are not saving lives in these scenarios; instead, it is what we do with the time that gives us an opportunity to improve the outcome of the epidemic.

What I want to know is, what do I have to do to not die from any disease ever again?
More of what i suppose I am getting at here is, is there going to be a spike in the number of people fearing doomsday who will get extremely trigger happy as their hysteria increases?
Perhaps, but you must also account for the spike in people defending themselves from spikes in crime and disorder.
Both are coming.
Edit: I know I wish I could be armed for when the Orc population of Dublin starts getting active.
No. If criminals are released from detention, that could result in an increase in crime. If people lose work, some may become criminals(either actual criminals, or participants in transactions prohibited by government) to make a living; that could result in more gun violence.

I have a meat mallet. Always useful for caving in helmets.
I forgot about the released criminal part. I forget what we are doing here in Canada on that one.
Probably badly. Thatās not a negative assessment of Canadians, by the by, as Iām marrying one. It is my assessment of your PM.

Iām probably quite different to you politically tbh. I think Harper was one of the best leaders of the last 20 years of any country.
My fiancƩes family in VC are diehard Canadian conservative voters.
I have swung a bit over the years.
