A Thought Experiment About The Virus

If everyone impacted by the virus were laid head to toe the line would stretch from NYC west to the International Date Line.

The following is a thought experiment:

1.     Assume that the average height of people is about 6 feet. In reality according to the CDC the average height of people is 5 feet, 9 inches. However, for the sake of this thought experiment and to make the following computations easier, let us round off to 6 feet.

2.     There would be 880 people laying and lined head to toe in a mile.

3.     There are 2904 miles from NYC to San Francisco. 

4.     Therefore, it would take 2,555,525 people laying head to toe to reach from NYC to San Francisco. 

5.     As of this morning 3,932,377 Americans have been stricken with the virus. Therefore, 1,376,853 virus cases would extend past San Francisco and end somewhere in the Pacific Ocean 1564 miles further.

6.     This does not include the number of deaths, 142,080, as of this morning. That adds another 16 or a total of 1580 miles into the Pacific Ocean.

7.     This is just short of the International Date Line.

Conclusion: trump’s in action, negligence, stupidity and ignorance could have prevented many of these cases. He wants to cut funds for testing and contact tracing. Pushing a payroll tax cut that does nothing for the millions unemployed. As it that will help.

Strangely, among all of my family, friends and acquaintances, only one, an author here, as told me of a single case of someone being positive. so, like you, I have to get my information from the media, or do the best research, from a authoritative source, perhaps the CDC, but perhaps not. In any event I believe the media numbers are close to correct.

Americans, particularly those leading to the right and young fools sticking their noses up at the establishment, have been violating every guideline since the beginning.

So I don't think you can blame Trump for his bumbling his way through entirely. But you certainly can blame his minions were blindly following his false claims. Did anyone drink bleach? Raise your hands.
