It’s just the flu, bro.
As gas_dr pointed out yesterday we are on the backside of this. Worldometer shows a pattern of dropping cases and deaths. There are probably a few ways it can go from here: 1. Steady descent and only a trickle of flare ups over the next year 2. Slow descent as it goes through the Midwest states and then it slowly trickles out in 6 months as we get closer to herd immunity 3. Steady descent and then a Flu-season flare up in November-March causing panic in those states that are prone to panicking Hard to say which is most likely but I sure hope for number 1. Scientists do say this needs 60% to be immune to get herd immunity and scientists also say NYC is only at 25% based on antibody studies. But scientists have been known to be wrong 90% of the time they have spoken about this virus. Does anyone have a forecast for how this will play out - I trust a Flubro prediction more than those crazy scientists in the U.K. who said 2.2 Million Americans would die?
Disgusted to hear talk of no school in the Fall. The paranoia is so strong with some and that is driving these lockdown extensions. I even think the Fearpers we have among us are only a fraction as nervous about CV as some people out there. Kozak et al are not nearly as paranoid and tyrannical as about CV as some libs.
Openthestates.com - anybody check it out? I don’t have Facebook so I can’t really tell how involved they are in organizing protests. The website has Facebook links for each state I think.
Blows the hell out of the narrative that it was just the flu.
200-300k supposedly died globally from CV. But the lockdown saves a million lives?
It is, but it might be a good idea to look at South Dakota's economy. I don't think anything was locked down in that state.
“The point is this is a communicable disease widespread in the community and it will do what it will do. All of the hysterical overreaction will change nothing”
Perfect! Logical and true.
Population density.
Deaths and Mortality
Data are for the U.S.
Number of deaths: 2,813,503
Death rate: 863.8 deaths per 100,000 population
Life expectancy: 78.6 years
Infant Mortality rate: 5.79 deaths per 1,000 live births

I saw Roman esq posting some other predictably left wing garbage on another unrelated thread this morning. I’ll have to look for it...I don’t even recall the topic, but I was not surprised when I saw his name.

“Meaning that not only was the infection death rate much higher than for COVID-19”
The difference is that the other epidemics you cite give numbers that were based on true data. Trump was not a factor; politics was not a factor.
For Xi’s Disease, we know for a FACT that:
1. Trump exists. Trump must be stopped. The issue is more political than medical.
2. Non-COVID deaths were attributed to COVID. Even Birx has said that.
You absolutely canNOT trust the WuFlu numbers.
And the Karen’s were yet to be hatched.
Dr. Panic and his agency said that no matter what, almost 100% of Americans will have had it within the next year. So why the lockdown?
It spreads because that’s what viruses do, hop from host to host. This one isn’t actually particularly lethal for people who don’t have other conditions.
All it does is concentrate cases in the most vulnerable areas (like NYC) and, like all isolation, actually seems to result in a higher death rate.
That ain't no pounce!
More like a 'moan back and a garbage dump, without the beep beep.
” no matter what, almost 100% of Americans will have had it within the next year. So why the lockdown?”
I’ve always said/believed that the distancing, house arrests, extreme protocols, masks, etc., are just postponing the inevitable. Once the masks come off, everyone WILL become in contact with the cootie at some point in time. Will it be now or later? When that happens, it will impact different people different ways. They just need to man up, rip off the damn bandage, and live life as God intended already.
2.8 million!
Must be because of the lack of better information.
Information provides immunity from COVID, you know.
And, tax money.
And, political control
And, less enumerated Constitutional rights
Just ask Danny
So, you agree?
Better information caused 83,425 deaths.
There is absolutely no data to suggest the lockdown prevented anything. There is a lot of data regarding the harm it has caused starting with the unemployment rate. There is even some suggestion that the lockdown has caused more deaths than the virus when you add up suicides, violence, and the number of people afraid to seek care in hospitals and ERs combined with closed physicians offices
Agreed on all points! President Trump just need to let ‘er rip and open the entire country back up asap, no conditions (except perhaps encourage the at-risk groups to exercise caution).
Indeed, pervasive, persuasive and perverted. Nor were liberals so liberal then, and so the people did not know what a dire situation they were in The Soviets would have loved it.
