Biden currently leading in South Carolina with 70% of the vote, Steyer second with 12% and Sanders third with 10% with less than 1% in https://www.nytimes.com
Go Biden.
Will this be enough to persuade the powers-that-be to 'have a word' with other moderates?
I should add that I think Buttigieg should be the nominee, but it seems Dems are not ready for a whole new generation.
I haven't checked the polls but I assume this result for Biden means he'll be hoping to win on Tuesday in other southern states like Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas.

In this thread, HYUFD will be arguing that falling off a roof never kills anyone. It is the secondary effect of hitting the pavement that is fatal.
And that is correct, if you fall off a roof onto a net you survive, if you fall off a roof and hit the pavement from 100 feet you die
You are an idiot.
COVID19 is a primary viral pneumonitis/pneumonia. It kills by asphyxiation, hence the need for oxygen and multi system life support in 10% of cases.
By all means sit it out with paracetamol and chicken soup yourself, but do not discourage others from seeking appropriate life saving interventions.
HYUFD isn't an idiot. He's absolutely right that panic is the biggest potential problem re coronavirus.
No, the biggest potential problem with coronavirus is coronavirus. Don't Panickers like you are making it worse, by enabling governments not to enact the stringent quarantines we sadly need.
This is not a rehearsal. The "fear mongering" epidemiologists' predictions have proven to be accurate, even as the plague grows. We can no longer ignore their warnings. And their advice is that we need to self isolate, etc, and cancel mass gatherings, close schools, and so on.
If we want to get through intact as a society it looks like that's what we've got to do.
Point taken. What we really need to know is whether the virus is killing people with no pre-existing serious health conditions.
30-40% of Italians in the north have been admitted to hospital- it has completely overloaded the Chinese health system...this isn't panic...these are people who need acute treatments
Have you got any backup for your claim that 30-40% of Italians in the north have been admitted to hospital ?
Given the population of northern Italy is over 25 million that doesn't seem likely to me.

HYUFD isn't an idiot. He's absolutely right that panic is the biggest potential problem re coronavirus.
If you have an acute respiratory illness your best chance of survival will be being treated in hospital.....
Your ignorance on this matter is reckless, ignorant and dangerous....
99.5% of those under 50 will survive coronavirus without hospital treatment.
Your panic demands that everyone who gets it should go to hospital is the reckless, ignorant and dangerous advice that will hamper efforts to treat those who do need hospital treatment
Do you not think hospitals triage those who need to be admitted??....honestly your absolute ignorance on this matter is shocking, yet you choose just to plough on ignorantly and shamelessly....
I hope this disease is contained....but if it's not we need to ensure that our health system saves people's lives..even if they have conditions or are elderly....it doesn't matter..a life is a life
How much time and resources are they going to have to spend filtering out those who do not need to be admitted if everyone with coronavirus goes to hospital?

Fine, self isolate with broth, just do not deluge your GP and hospital just because you have a bad cough
Do you have investments in Hot Broth, Inc?
As you said earlier, invest in soup companies like Campbells, they will be one of the few winners from coronavirus
You know that soup isn't actually an anti-viral right?
There is no cure for coronavirus, hot soup just helps ride it out
For the hand egg fans...christ alive...must have been in a growth bag as a kid.
And then there is big-man speed like Louisville tackle Mekhi Becton flashed Friday night. Becton, who is the biggest player at this year's combine having checked in at 6-foot-7⅜ and 364 pounds, put up an official 5.10 clocking in the 40-yard dash.
Will there even be a GE if the US has to go into lock down because of coronavirus?

An answer on Quora:
There is no circumstance whatosever in the Constitution that allows a president to postpone elections for any reason. The fact that some emergency powers are stated (suspension of habeous corpus in case of a rebellion) only makes it harder to postpone elections, because postponement of elections is not mentioned even under emergency powers.
All of which is good news. And there are other reasons:
This is one of those cases in which “federalism” is probably helpful. Elections are run exclusively at the state and local level, and the Electoral College (despite being such a horrible institution in so many ways), reinforces this. The bottom line is, no election official in the country reports to the President of the United States… The president would need to have all 50 governors and their Secretaries of State in his pocket. A president who even tried to postpone elections would likely be very quickly impeached… even if the Congress was of the same party. All these facts help explain why Lindoln never seriously considered postponing the election of 1864, even though six months out, it looked liley he was going to lose!

Given the population of northern Italy is over 25 million that doesn't seem likely to me.
I'm fairly sure tyson means 30-40% of INFECTED Italians need hospital treatment.
Not a proportion of the entire nation.
He is right to highlight this, even if he made an error. The Italian strain of the disease seems to be more malignant than the Chinese. Who knows if this because of mutation, or because the Italians are generally older?

The Biden campaign said they’ve just had their best fund-raising hour ever.
They claim to have raised $1 million a day for the last week.
I am perplexed as to why Biden is short of money. Where else is it going> Mayor Pete - yeh obviously a bit, but after that?
If you were a rich Democrat and have seen Biden's performances so far would you have been quick to write a big cheque? I know its a tax write-off and all that, but it definitely feels like lighting money on fire.

The amazing thing is, this is not the ABSOLUTE worst case scenario. this is the REASONABLE worst case scenario (with which I think we all have to deal, so we can make an opinion on the best course ahead).
The REASONABLE worst case scenario for the UK is tens or hundreds of thousands of dead and critically ill, and a health service that barely survives.
The WORST case is, probably, partial or even total break down of society and civilisation. That is where we are.
By nature, worst case, either reasonable or extreme, is unlikely. But increasingly plausible.
Civilisation did not break down even after Spanish flu which had a death rate 10 times higher than coronavirus
