It’s just the flu, bro.
A Flubro mentioned this yesterday. I guess this cheap steroid, which acts as an anti inflammatory agent in the lungs, is good at treating CV, which harms people by causing an inflammatory response in the lungs.

As treatments improve the death rate will continue to drop. A declaration that the epidemic is over must be coming soon. An infectious disease needs to be above a minimum threshold death rate to be called an epidemic. And we are already below that threshold.
Anybody seen any studies along the odds of dying of Covid linked to the past flu vaccine? There are some nasty rumors that the flu vaccine greatly increases the odds of the cytokine storm reaction.
I was wondering if that was possible, or the death rate disparity was just a general immune weakness triggered by the vaccine.
Perhaps it’s just all rumors...
What were the lies? I’m interested to see how far his Covid cheerleading will go.
He was visiting a hospital - where there are sick and vulnerable people.
“So you won’t be voting for Trump?”
We’ll see. Depends on what he does with this Covid/mask hoax, Fauci, DACA, Juneteenth “holiday”, BLM terrorism, confiscation of weapons (McClosky), and any other compromising issues that might arise.
If things continue as they are, the country will be history.

More Than 20 U.S. States Now Require Face Masks In Public

I doubt it. President Trump just turn lemons into lemonade by canceling the outdoor rally in Portsmouth New Hampshire which was threatened with thunderstorms and, instead, going to visit wounded warriors at Walter Reed hospital. It was the perfect place and time for him to do what he has said all along, that is, wear a mask if the situation calls for it.
Here’s a good one page reference to a lot of data.
Dr. Atlas: Coronavirus surges linked mostly to protests — and proximity to US-Mexico border:
‘Protesting, sharing megaphones, screaming ... That’s a setup to spread cases,’ Atlas says
By Victor Garcia | Fox News
Dr. Scott Atlas on the state of the pandemic as daily infections approach 70,000:
Senior Fellow at The Hoover Institution, Dr. Scott Atlas, joins Jon Scott on ‘Fox Report Weekend.’
The recent surges in U.S. coronavirus cases can be traced to two key factors — crowds of protesters and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border, Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow at The Hoover Institution, said Saturday night.
Most of the cases in the Southwest — California, Arizona and Texas — are occuring in counties closest to the U.S.-Mexico border, Atlas told anchor Jon Scott during an appearance on on “Fox Report Weekend.”
“When you look in the southern counties of California, Arizona and the bordering counties of Texas — with the Mexico border — these are where most of these cases are really exploding,” Atlas said. “And then you look at the Mexico map and in Mexico, that’s where their cases are. Their cases are in the northern border zone states. And it turns out the timeline here correlates much more to the Mexico timeline of increasing cases than anything else.”
IN FLORIDA, OVER 40 HOSPITALS MAX OUT ICU CAPACITY AMID CORONAVIRUS SURGE
Spikes in Texas, Florida and Arizona don’t essentially line up with reopening but with Mexico’s surge and the recent protests that have gripped the U.S., Atlas said.
“When you really look closely at these so-called re-opening policies, whether it’s in Georgia or Florida or Texas, you know, we didn’t really see a big correlation of cases and hospitalizations from that,” Atlas said. “That’s really not true. That’s sort of some sloppy thinking, I think, again. We really ... have to look closely at why these things are happening.
“By the way. California didn’t really reopen. Yet they have cases coming up. Why is that? I mean, that’s because these cases don’t really correlate to that.”
‘A setup to spread cases’:
“They correlate mainly to two things — the big thousands and thousands of people with protesting, sharing megaphones, screaming. That’s a setup to spread cases,” Atlas said. “And also when you look at the analysis of the border counties, there’s a tremendous amount of cases coming over the border and exchanging with families in the northern Mexico states.”
Atlas also explained the hospital capacity situation in Texas and Arizona.
“So the real concern that that I see right now is that there are hospitals getting crowded in their ICUs and this is clearly a concern,” Atlas said. “The crowding is from the reinstatement of regular medical care, which is actually very important. We have locked that down before and that policy kills people. So we don’t want to go back to that.”
Goodbye!
Go (if you haven’t yet) join the Biden goons.
Showing respect for our hospitalized troops...the very people that put their lives on the line to guarantee we can lounge around & spout off stupid Schiff all day...that’s gonna make people vote for Joe Biden?
Are you serious?
100% Covid cure!!:

It is painfully obvious that you didn’t READ the post. In addition; do NOT put words in my mouth...I did NOT even mention Joe Biden.
You're welcome. (Hillary would have beat Romney like a drum in 2016, and you know it.)
Tragic, and its not "just a flu," yet the all-ages severe long-term COVID-19restrictions remain unprecedented in proportion to its threat. The Asian flu pandemic of 1957-1958 resulted in a estimated 116,000 deaths in America, when at about 173,000,000, the population size in 57-58 was close to half of what it is now (330,541,000, rounded figures). Meaning that not only was the infection death rate much higher than for COVID-19, but there would have to be about 200,000 COVID-19 est. deaths to be comparable to the Asian flu as regards percentage of population. The 116,000 deaths in America to the Asian flu was for the whole year, yet even if we reach about 200,000 deaths (we pray not) for COVID-19 then that type of equality would still mean that the extremely restrictive all-ages long-term response to COVID-19 simply has no precedent in American history, except to a degree with the far more deadly 1918 flu (yet in which baseball was still played) for which up to 675,000 deaths are attributed, or 0.66% of the population.
You have to look at context. He was visiting a ward at Walter Reed, and visitors were often required to wear masks in those places anyway, long before this virus stuff.
Ok doomed... what are the cases in the USA?
3 million
135,000 deaths. Under 5% death rate ain’t scary bad.
With me. Caving to a hoax.
If the pix of The President wearing a mask causes you to not vote for Trump, then you are either in a state where your vote won't matter, or you are a flaming idiot.
After all he has done, putting on a mask doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
The overall mortality rate for nCov-2 is 0.040% (data from the CDC collected Friday, 10 July 20, the last day for which data are available).
To put this in context:
Spanish Flu of 1918 -- OMR = 0.65% No panic, MLB continues as usual
Asian Flu of 1957 -- OMR = 0.067% No panic
Hong Kong Flu of 1968 -- OMR = 0.049% No panic
Covid-19 of 2020 -- OMR = 0.040% Widespread panic!
