An old meme with out of date numbers, but the point is still valid.

“Numbers Don’t Line Up: Here Are The Things That Kill More People Each Day Than Covid-19 Has So Far”
Tell that to NYC (779 dead yesterday, compared to ~200 without Coronavirus).
Where’s the 150 million firearm deaths? No list is complete without that stat. Just ask pedo joe.
None of those follow a mathematical progression (e.g. a power function like an exponential) week over week or month over month.
An old meme with out of date numbers, but the point is still valid.
“”””One hundred thousand coronavirus deaths in the U.S. is the low estimate. “””””””””
Yes, ESTIMATE.. A GUESS. A HUNCH.
Nobody knows what the number will be since this is a new disease and their is no historical data to compare it with.
#3 killer - medical treatments gone bad.
Trust doctors! Especially non-practicing gov dept. media star doctors!
So, far it’s only costing us about 6 million dollars per death.
2740 killed by mosquitoes because a rat got cancer from DDT 55 years ago. More like population control.
No it is not valid for precisely the reasons you list.
So, far it’s only costing us about 6 million dollars per death.
Also,
The bulk of them would have probably died in less than a year without the virus.
What is your point?
17.9 million people died from all cardiovascular diseases in 2016 according to the WHO—this works out as 49,000 a day
What is 779 dead in NYC versus 49,000 dead a day from cardiovascular?
We can play this morbid game all day.
Careful, posting this will bring the wrath of all the little Greta Covidbergs on FR down on your head. “TAKE MY RIGHTS...BECAUSE ‘PUBLIC SAFETY’!!!”
Neither will Covid deaths. Even the worst case models on which this hysteria were based are predicting essentially zero deaths after June 1. Viral pandemics invariably follow a logistic growth model. Growth appears exponential for a time, but eventually there are fewer uninflected people left to get it and the spread of the virus slows
How many deaths are ok for you? The Flu in the 1917-1918 period from fall to early spring killed almost 700,000 Americans. Since then we have developed Vaccines and learned how to medicate and treat those with the Flu, and yet, we still average about 30,000 deaths a year or so from the Flu. However, there is a hell of lot of difference between 700,000 and 30,000.
So far, just in March to April 8/9, almost 15,000 (the warmer part of the flu season). So what would have happened say if this thing would have started around the normal Flue Season, 1 October and we had this COVID-19 for the normal 6 month flu season.
So my question to you is how many deaths are acceptable? I would like more data, if by June 1, the models estimate that 80% or more of the people have already been in contact with COVID-19, then I say lets start opening things up. The other 20%, who have not been in contact, well those who are older, > 70 or heavy, heavy smokers, poor lifestyle choices in terms of diet and exercise, thus compromised immune systems, those people need to stay away from crowds.
However, I don’t think we have enough data yet to make those types of decisions.
Same old nonsense again.
FACT : Every new disease follows a geometric progression to start off with. It happened with AIDS too.
And two ,that geometric progression has morphed into arithmetical progression to no progression at all in China and other Asian countries where it first took off.
“Tell that to NYC (779 dead yesterday, compared to ~200 without Coronavirus).”
Yes, Typical daily death rate in NYC in prior years was around 200.
The 779 figure is for NY state but the city figure is probably around 500. So at least twice as many as all other causes combined.
The following are the nine states that have refused to impose lockdowns. All of them have minimal death tolls from the Wuhan virus, including the populous South Carolina, and five of them have not enacted even local lockdowns:
Arkansas – 14 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Iowa – 14 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Nebraska – 8 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
North Dakota – 3 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Oklahoma – 42 deaths.
South Carolina – 40 deaths.
South Dakota – 2 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Utah – 8 deaths.
Wyoming – 0 deaths.

And how much do you think will be left to "open up" in JUNE?!
