Hey Rush you covidiot—most of us have been locked indoors for the past several weeks, that is why the numbers are lower.
again, how long do we suffer under totalitarian tactics?....
you must not have any personal hardship...
So you haven’t gone grocery shopping?
We live in eastern King County... the place where we had the first cases and deaths in the country. My wife and I have both worked and volunteered at the ill-fated Life Care Center in Kirkland. I was one of the first here to say that this was a serious problem. And we were very concerned about the projections from the University of Washington that predicted tens of thousands of deaths just in our part of the state.
But guess what? At the same time that our governor issued his “stay at home order” the ICU units at local hospitals were already starting to empty out and the deaths were tapering off. Why? Because VIRUSES TAKE THE LOW HANGING FRUIT FIRST, vulnerable people die and then the rest of the population adapts and lives with it. Our statewide numbers have made it to just over 400 and are now predicted to reach 600 by August. In the parts of the state that have already had it... it has run its course. The virus just keeps finding little pockets of people who haven't been exposed and their vulnerable folks are still dying, but we are talking about much smaller groups.
On the fire department that I retired from 11 people tested positive... only 1 had any symptoms at all, but they were so mild that he was still coming to work. This virus is the most overhyped illness in the history of our country. It never was going to kill as many people as the flu season of 2017-18, "stay at home" orders or not.
That behavior was 'baked' into all of the projections.
Notice I was able to convey the information without calling you an idiot?
Wrongo Kaehurowing; that doesn’t explain it. The 100,000 projected deaths (low end) from IMHE ASSUMED SOCIAL DISTANCING. Without social distancing, millions were going to die. Remember? Or did you conveniently forget that?
The is what you feel. There is no way to prove that. Let’s face it...we were (and continue to be had.
