It’s just the flu, bro.
Three days in a row of fewer than 800 deaths in USA. R is less than 1 as daily new cases are dropping.
This is really two diseases - the mostly benign version for people 65 and under and the potentially deadly version you see at nursing homes. A friend at a nursing home said that he had one asymptomatic staff member spread it to 22 out of 24 patients. 8 died there. They hired family members to help manage the patients. Tying this back to conservative principles - no abortion means more kids which means more people to take care of the elderly at home. Societies that are worst hit have abandoned the concept of family and require more nursing homes - Italy and Spain commonly have 4 grandparents producing 2 kids, who produce 1 grandchild. That type of pyramid is a disaster with Corona, and in many other ways. The dropping of Western world birth rates to below replacement levels is a disaster caused by people not acting naturally. God always forgives, people sometimes forgive, but nature never forgives.
It’s interesting how even nursing home mortality is lower in some locations versus others (NY and the northeast the worst). Haven’t followed treatment much but I would bet the treatment offered by NY nursing homes is worse than in other nursing homes.
And obviously - the Wuhan Nursing Home Flu shouldn’t continue to be used as an excuse to hold back healthy people!
I drove back home from Florida today. Stopped at Cracker Barrel, marking the 5th day in a row that I ate at a sit-down restaurant.
No mask. I feel bold.
Ironically, there are laws in some areas that make it illegal to wear a face covering in public. So a business operating in such an area that requires a mask may be in violation.
The flu is just the flu, bro.
Dying of Covid-19 is a noble, valiant death that clearly makes you more equal than others. /s
