Excerpt: The Boomers Will Sacrifice Themselves on the Beaches of COVID-19 (March 24) “According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, it is more likely that the U.S. will suffer a mortality rate of about 2.3 percent. For the Boomers, that’s 851,000 fatalities. That’s not only double the number of Americans killed in World War II, a breathtakingly grim possibility, it outstrips the number of dead from the American Civil War, whose fatality stats have been recently revised upwards to more than 700,000. But even a 2.3 percent national mortality rate (a virus that will kill seven million Americans) would have been happily embraced by the major powers in 1946.” “Of course, the mortality rate suffered by Americans in World War II is modest when compared to their enemies (including those of all ages who died under the rain of bombs dropped on Tokyo and Dresden) and most of their allies. Two thirds of males born in the Soviet Union in 1923 were dead by 1945, with a 7.2 percent death rate for Soviet soldiers of all nationalities. And it wasn’t just the Germans who killed Soviets: the Red Army executed 217,000 of its own men for desertion, over half the number of total U.S. combat deaths throughout the entire war. (“It takes a brave man to be a coward in the Red Army,” Soviet Marshall Georgy Zhukov observed.)” (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-boomers-will-sacrifice-themselves-on-the-beaches-of-covid-19/) |
Meanwhile, although Covid-19 has hardly competed its run, yet for comparison with the flu we have the morality rate for the flu per state for the 2017-2018 season and total deaths, the latter of which I have provided along side the Covid-19 counts in the table below.
And according to estimates, between 61,000 to 80,000 Americans died during the 2017-2018 season, the latter being the highest death toll in 40 years. During that 2017-2018 season, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was at or above the epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks. Nationally, mortality attributed to P&I exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, peaking at 10.8% during the week ending January 20, 2018, (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm) with older Americans dying at a rate of 169 Americans a day, or seven people per hour. (https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2018/older-flu-deaths-rising.html Additional stats on the current 2019-2020 flu season are provided below the table.
It is estimated that about 80% of those infected with Covid-19 experience a mild case [WHO said the like] – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment. while a study in Iceland reports that half of coronavirus carriers show no symptoms, which statistically lowers the death rate vs. calculating it from reported cases. Those who are most vulnerable to death from Covid-19 are the aged with certain other heath conditions, thus 80 percent of US coronavirus deaths are people 65 and older. Then again, America murders over 2,000 of the most vulnerable souls a day (2017: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states), while (for perspective) about 90 people die each day in the US from crashes, which are among the over 7,000 Americans who die every day in the US from a wide range of causes.

Excerpt: Univ. of Washington researchers predict 80,000 COVID-19 deaths in U.S. by July (March 26, 2020) If gaps in health care resources aren’t filled, more than 80,000 Americans will die over the next four months due to the coronavirus pandemic, epidemiologists at the University of Washington predict. Researchers at the UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation say their forecast takes current policies on social distancing into account. The problem is that shortages of hospital beds and medical supplies are projected to boost the death toll nevertheless.

Excerpt: 90 percent of Americans now staying home to prevent coronavirus spread A Washington Post-ABC News poll found roughly 9 in 10 Americans say they are staying home as much as possible and practicing social distancing to avoid becoming infected with the virus. The poll says nearly 9 in 10 have stopped going to bars and restaurants, while about 6 in 10 have stockpiled food and household supplies. That’s compared to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) taken less than two weeks ago that found 40 percent of Americans said their lives had been disrupted with only 16 percent calling those disruptions significant, according to The Washington Post.

Excerpts from extensive page: Don’t Panic: The comprehensive Ars Technica guide to the coronavirus [Updated 3/27] https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/dont-panic-the-comprehensive-ars-technica-guide-to-the-coronavirus/ According to data from nearly 56,000 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients in China, the rundown of common symptoms went as follows: 88 percent had a fever 68 percent had a dry cough 38 percent had fatigue 33 percent coughed up phlegm 19 percent had shortness of breath 15 percent had joint or muscle pain 14 percent had a sore throat 14 percent headache 11 percent had chills 5 percent had nausea or vomiting 5 percent had nasal congestion 4 percent had diarrhea Less than one percent coughed up blood or blood-stained mucus Less than one percent had watery eyes In an epidemiological study of 44,672 confirmed cases in China, authored by an emergency response team of epidemiologists and published by the Chinese CDC, researchers reported that about 81 percent of cases were considered mild. The researchers defined mild cases as those ranging from the slightest symptoms to mild pneumonia. None of the mild cases were fatal; all recovered. Otherwise, about 14 percent were considered severe, which was defined as cases with difficult or labored breathing, an increased rate of breathing, and decreased blood oxygen levels. None of the severe cases were fatal; all recovered. Nearly 5 percent of cases were considered critical. These cases included respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure. About half of these patients died.

This must be why the high schoolers are calling Wuhan Flu “The Boomer Remover”
“This must be why the high schoolers are calling Wuhan Flu “The Boomer Remover””
Who’s going to babysit all of these high schoolers after we’re gone?
They may have to be Quaranteened:)
Ha!
I’m curious about how deaths, particularly among the elderly, are now recorded.
If a 90 year old man had a stroke, is paralyzed in a nursing home, and eventually contracts, is tested for, and dies of Covid-19 — I assume the facility/government now writes cause of death as Covid-19.
6 months ago, what would have been recorded? Pneumonia? Flu?
Anyone out there who can knowledgeably comment on this?
They will increase the numbers anyway they can!!! You can count on ALL deaths being counted as CV deaths!!!
Sorry this data is useless because “we” are defying common sense and going with the easier to administer and more destructive the one size fits all i.e. punish the whole class thing.
I have all that except a fever, watery eyes, and coughing up blood. Should I be worried?
I'm not in the medical field but my general understanding is that there will be a specific cause of death which may be secondary to one, or more other conditions.
For example, a person may have metastatic colon cancer but die due to internal hemorrhaging. My understanding is that the death certificate will list internal hemorrhaging as the cause but that it was secondary to metastatic colon cancer.
While the specific cause of death may be internal hemorrhaging, such uncontrolled bleeding was due to the metastatic colon cancer.
No credit to me, the term neither originated with me - nor the sense of humor! Thanks be to God.
Could This Explain Why the Coronavirus Death Rate in Italy is so High? 3/22/2020, 7:13:06 AM · by Kaslin · 24 replies Townhall.com ^ | March 21, 2020 | Bronson Stocking
An adviser to Italy's minister of health, Professor Walter Ricciardi, said the coronavirus death rate in Italy may be higher than in other countries not only because of demographics -- Italy has the second oldest population in the world -- but also because of the way Italy records deaths of those who have tested positive for the coronavirus. "The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus,"
Well, if the data shows that then at least it is of some use!
Unlikely it is CV19 without a fever. A cold perhaps.
Boomer’s would then be rejoicing in heaven while the youths are left to deal with earth’s troubles. Ha, those kids better not get too excited about it all.
I am a strong proponent of understanding CV-19, paying attention to what we really have, and precautions.
However, on at least one critical point, the CDC cannot possibly have the ratios or percentages as published.
The reason, cannot get into it all here, but there is significant knowledge this entered the US much sooner than has been stated officially. I know, everyone will want to know the sources and details.
As well, CV-19 carriers can range from 2 days incubation, all the way up to 28 days days as carriers. In another related line of what we have learned, many likely have believed they just had a “flu”, when it is actually quite possible a number have already had or gotten over CV-19.
Additionally, while the media is predictably broadcasting sensational exponential growth, (and CV-19 is spreading), because we really did not know how long and how many cases we have had, the numbers being printed into CDC charts now, cannot possibly show the real number of carriers. As a result of having no real baseline, they cannot give accurate percentages of death rates.
So while this is a dangerous and spreading virus, the numbers are designed for maximum panic, economic damage, and political damage.
Good question
My aunt died two years ago from complications of the flu
She’d had a stroke few weeks earlier
Is how they’re recording the statistics skewing the numbers?
Or vice versa..
I had a doctor tell me once that pneumonia was included with flu deaths by CDC.
