My dad can kick your dad’s ass
Lol good Lawd my auto correct had a stroke.
I do not believe the numbers. Anyone who dis is counted. The state gov’t gets more money from the federal gov’t if they lie.
CO man dies from astounding 0.55 blood alcohol level, coronavirus listed as cause of death

Yea, so what? Far from 2 million.
And far from Korea’s 259.
And what is that suppose to mean? If you want to live like a Korean, go to Korea.
So you’re basically saying we have to die to live in America. Wow! Words fail...
the gross numbers your using are basically wrong.
even the cdc provisional estimate of deaths from covid19 as of today comes in at about 57,000, and that number in itself is wildly inflated with bogus numbers due to counting deaths from covid19 without a confirmatory test, counting covid19 when a comorbidity should have excluded it, counting due to monetary payments for such counts, bogus numbers from states like ny counting numbers from nursing homes that should have been attributed to gov’t forced incubation of various infectious diseases (including covid19 sars) in nursing homes due to bad health policy, etc. the actual number of true covid19 caused deaths could be half that or less.
and on and on.
SO WHAT? 100k deaths is nothing. Double the number of auto deaths. 1/7th the number of heart disease deaths. 1/2 the number of diabetes deaths — and no one has even suggested banning high fructose corn syrup, and cancelling candy on Halloween.
You promote the killing of millions of babies but when 100,000 adults die you go crazy. Is that because you could be one of those adults?
Really? Give it a rest. We are not children. Stop the lecturing & badgering.
If we wait til Christmas to open people will be dying...from the flu, covid, cancer, diabetes, traffic accidents, murder, overdoses...one of you fear mongers needs to give the world the exact date you deem it “safe” for the rest of us to live.
It’s a dangerous world. Life goes on.
Put on you adult pants & face it.
Louisiana cases, hospitalizations, vents & deaths all down by major amount.
Because the state keeps adding testing sites, there was a data dump from 3 private labs that added cases from weeks ago. So that skewed our numbers.
At least our governor highlighted that & explained it. He didn’t try to panic people.
I am not debating whether or not the country should go back to work...it should. But please, Covid-19 is not a hoax to those in the hospital, on ventilators. Nor would it be a hoax to you if you were unable to breathe and were being prepared to have a tube forced down your throat for air. Guaranteed.
We’re getting back to normal here in SW Florida. People were out everywhere yesterday. The biggest risk I see is to people in NYC who ride the subway to work which is how it spread in the first place. They need a plan for that. No reason the rest of that state and the rest of the country can’t get back to life. People who were scared are now waking up and asking themselves why is it ok for all these big stores to be open and for thousands of people to work and shop in there but they can’t open their own business.
That is quite a chart, thanks. And note that as regards comparison with the past, "In the 15 years between 1960 and 1975, the number of nursing homes in the United States increased 140%, nursing-home beds increased by 302%, and revenues rose 2,000%. By 1980, 80% of all institutionalized elderly resided in commercially run nursing homes." "By 2000, nursing homes had become a 100 billion dollar industry, paid largely by Medicaid, Medicare, and resident out-of-pocket resources. Although only 2% of all elderly individuals between 65 and 74 resided in such institutions, the proportion of those aged 84+ increased to 25%. Today, nearly 6% of older adults are sheltered in nursing homes that provide a wide range of care (see first blog of series)." "By 2030, there will be about 72.1 million older persons, more than twice the number in 2000 when people 65+ were 12.4% of the population. That number will grow to 19% by 2030.

Meanwhile, I do not know why no one seems to be arguing this, but, Asian flu pandemic of 1957-1958 resulted in a estimated 116,000 deaths in America (followed by the Hong Kong flu with about est. 100,000 American deaths in 1968–69), when at 171,984,000, the population size in 57-58 was about 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. Yet that would simply make it basically equal as concerns the numbers of deaths in proportion to population size, but to justify the CovidCaptivity, one would have to argue that the Asian flu should have necessitated a response like that to COVID-19. The Soviets would have favored that for sure.
The question then is, where was the response in 57-58 comparative to COVID-19 in proportion to its threat? Yes, 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 the extremely restrictive all-ages response to COVID-19 simply has no precedent in American history, except to a degree with the far more deadly (550,000 to 675,000 Americans, or 0.66% of the population) 1918 flu.
And yet we read ,
100,000 deaths is MUCH better that the millions originally predicted. There are more “new” cases because of the increased testing.
Live Free or Die!
But how many people died of the flu last year, pal?
Thanks, amorphous
No! And if one more person says to me: "Stay safe." I'm going to bash their skull in with a tire iron.
