To be precise R0
is related to lethality: No contagion -> no death
You can have an R0 of 100 but if the infection is not deadly it will kill no one.

Because they're NOT screening the young people with NO severe symptoms.
NO SCREENING at all outside the hospitals. Of course the numbers are totally "wrong", like the ones of deads with NO test done on the body.
That's a beautiful tinfoil hat.

Variations in the ACE2 gene that alter the receptor
could make it
easier or harder for the virus to get into cells, says immunologist Philip Murphy
Could.
Easier.
Or harder

OUR GOVT at work.
It's exactly what we did in 2008, but bigger. It's annoying as shit, watching all these companies be rewarded for their bad judgement and greed, but I guess it's preferable to outright destitution.

I'm not usually one for self-promotion but my employer built a reference website for covid-19 that's actually pretty neat and useful: (

It's just a slogan. There's really not a big number of libertarian fundamentalists here aside from the free staters who moved here based on a slogan. NH culture is more about being independent and self-reliant. A few bullet points to sum it up:
- local politics > state politics > national politics
- it's my property, don't tell me what I can't do with it
- it's your body, none of my business what you do with it
- government and business should run a tight ship
- religion ain't all that
- get off of my lawn
- not in my backyard
Of course, we're not monolithic, so there's people from both ends of the political spectrum, but that's the gist. Not saying it all fits me, but some of it does.
My now-wife spent a couple of years just outside Dover before moving in with me, so I've been to NH a fair bit. My surprise comes from how, thus far in the crisis, the 'it's my property, don't tell me what I can't do with it' types have been screaming bloody murder at business shutdowns and quarantines, and the states that are beholden to those individuals (most of the South, at the moment) have done basically nothing. I'd have expected that to be true for NH as well.
I actually really miss New Hampshire. It was a heck of a difference from yuppie DC suburbia. I'd have rather moved in with her than vice versa, but there weren't any jobs up there in my line of work. I guess I can just order Moxie off Amazon and plan my retirement.

I do think it's kinda funny how the same people who hate Bernie because he's allegedly communist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and call Biden a Marxist socialist are now the same people screaming for their government check.
WE'RE NOT GETTING OUR THOUSAND BUCKS FOR THREE WEEKS? BUT I NEED IT NOW!
Then again, watching the hardcore Trump fanatics rewrite recent history in realtime as they shift their opinions around to match it is something that never ceases to amaze me.

Now this is depressing. Based upon known data gathered from other currently proceeding outbreaks, and going by current upward trends, this is the projected resource and death curve here in the United States. You can break everything down by state, but if this is correct, we should hit the peak of this around the middle of April, and be out the other side by the beginning of July.

Try not to look at the death peak.
