The one for WI?

Three of those are from my family-Brother, sister in law, nephew and latter maybe niece and her husband and two kids.

My brothers liver is failing, his wife, my sister in law, has a lung condition. Nephew is doing fine.

I dunno if the two above will make it.

Please post data with all false positives and all false death attributions removed.

(I know you can't, but that is my point. The data is horribly corrupted and not to be trusted.)

[stinkerpot65]

90% lies.

Does it start with “Once upon a time..” like other works of fiction?

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks as always. I know everyone loves to gripe about the numbers, but hospitalizations and daily deaths are worth following. I also make a point of following my county, where the rubber meets the road.

276 deaths is the fourth lowest number of deaths since March 24.

Deaths per week in a normal week are around 53,000 so 276 is becoming meaningless especially since 50% are over 75 and the normal mix has more than that number from all causes. If these folks hadn’t been hit by the virus they would have died from something else.

"If these folks hadn’t been hit by the virus they would have died from something else."

That's true of every single cause of death. "If grandma hadn't gotten cancer, she would have died from something else." Okay, fine, but she did die of cancer (or COVID-19 in this case), so it's recorded as such.

And this disease is not just killing people who are on death's door already. A number of studies have started to look at how many years are being lost with COVID-19 victims and it's actually quite high. Further, the excess mortality figures demonstrate that we're over 250,000 deaths beyond where we should be already this year. So these are NOT expected deaths by any means.

So sorry to hear that. I sincerely hope all make a full and complete recovery.

Thank you..

Sincerely.

How many have died from drug overdoses this year? Over 600,000.

You’re off by an order of magnitude: https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html

But even if it were true, that wasn’t most peoples’ response on 9-11. “Oh, 3,000 people died because of terrorists? Well, 60,000 die every year because of drug overdoses so why should I care about Al Qaeda?!” The normal response is to look at deaths - particularly sudden, new sources of a lot of deaths - with a critical eye considering whether we could have prevented some of the deaths that already happened (e.g. by not forcing nursing homes to accept infected patients) and what can reasonably be done to prevent more deaths from that source in the future (e.g. slowing the spread with reasonable measures that don’t harm the economy until a safe and effective vaccine can be deployed).

Normally we don’t simply throw our hands up and say “oh well, they’re all dead, but here’s why their deaths shouldn’t matter to anyone!” This is why we have President Trump leading this country: because he’s a serious man who can deal with serious situations like this in a serious way that yields positive results. That’s what we need.
