“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).

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An old meme with out of date numbers, but the point is still valid.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

2740 killed by mosquitoes because a rat got cancer from DDT 55 years ago. More like population control.

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.

This post is not complete without a multicolored hockey stick graph, with lots of numbers on either axis, and up arrows, lots of up arrows.

Personally, I'm back to normal. I'm not taking any extra precautions like scrubbing everything in sight with bleach. I'm done participating in the hype and panic. Yes it's bad and thousands of people have died from it and thousands more are going to die from it. Happens every year, it's called flu season. This one is going to be a bad one but not the end of the world.

I'm only "off normal" where things are out of my control.

I'm working from home because my company requires it.

I'm not going camping because the campgrounds we'd normally be going to are closed.

I really need a haircut but the barber shop is closed.

But where it's up to me, I'm living my life. I will not live in fear.

I'm still going to the store, going for motorcycle rides, walking my dog. Hitting up my favorite brew pub (takeout only now though), catching my favorite food trucks around town...

Reviewing Worldometer-related threads for March, it was showing global flu deaths to be 26 times greater than COVID-19 deaths on March 1.
80,965 [now 81,817] Seasonal Flu Deaths This Year / 3,050 [now 3086] Coronavirus Deaths This Year

Now, and “Orange Man Bad” manipulation of the virus numbers aside, global flu deaths are less then 50% ahead of COVID-19. So regardless that COVID-19 is still behind flu, the fact that it has closed the gap so much strongly suggests that it was more contagious and deadly than flu imo.

So PDJT is right again imo. Winning!

Consider that some people were actually disappointed that Y2K was a dud. And we’ll probably never know.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

“All over the country people are being fined or arrested or jailed”..

That’s what gets me. It’s kind of a given that anybody can be detained at any time by TPTB but... they have a limit of 72 hours before they charge you.

So if I am under “house arrest” don’t the same rules apply? Don’t they have to compensate me for turning my house into THEIR prison? This sucks big time, and it is part of a higher agenda. Believe me!

Without social distancing and awareness, the Villages for instance, would clog up the hospitalization in Central Florida impacting normal operations if everything was opened up.

You need to add (Way more numbers) of corona impacted patients along with the normal everyday occurrences and procedures. It would be a nightmare, and manna from Heaven for personnel injury attorneys.

Powers that be are buying time for:

Treatment

Vaccine carefully mitigated through the antibodies of those who recovered.

Time is running out, if not we are going Star Trek/Weimar Republic/Modern Monetary Theory and Practices (Probably already been there) mode. With Keynes you were suppose to pretend to payback what you borrowed when times stabilized, lol.
