on FR this kind of talk is blasphemy
Bennett is usually smarter than that. The low death number is because of what we’ve done. Also, flu has a season; this doesn’t. We have to deal with this until we come up with a cure, reach herd immunity, or get an effective vaccine.
“And all of this assumes that the official death toll from COVID-19 accurately captures everyone who’s died from it. We know that it doesn’t. There are many, many more people who’ve dropped dead in their homes in New York City over the last month than there usually are in the months of March and April, and few of them get counted as coronavirus deaths because they haven’t been formally tested before or after death.”

mmmm. So, all the stories about counting people who have other illnesses in addition to Covid-19, but just happen to have Covid-19 when they die are being counted as dying due to Covid-19, are lies? (Dying while having Covid-19 = dying because of Covid-19...ie Dying while having Covid-19 means Covid-19 was the cause of death)
Please get me straight on this one.
We are grasping for arguments that it’s not the end of the world according to hot air. They haven’t been good for a long time I don’t know what happened.
They’re not awful but not what they were some years back.
The Bookie of Virtue. Wonder where he’s been hiding lately?
Oh you mean like Hydrochloroquine whom the DemonRat politicians, their FAKE NEWS MEDIA AGENTS, doctors, and Hollyweird celebrities constantly CONDEMN because it SAVES LIVES and would END the oppressive lock downs immediately?
The Demonic Deep State agents HATE things like hydrochloroquine because it GETS IN THE WAY OF THEIR HEINOUS PLAN TO UNDERMINE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PEAK ECONOMY AND UTTERLY DESTROY AMERICA AS WE ONCE KNEW IT (A MERE FEW WEEKS AGO!)
"THIS" = New York City's outsized deaths ONLY.
Well DUH! What do you expect when -- on April 2nd at rush hour New Yorkers were still doing THIS...
They aren't doing that in the rest of America, and the deaths are not any higher than typical flu years.
I believe the current word to describe that belief is 'anecdotal.'
You are WRONG the death tolls predicted were WITH mitigation, Fauci said that the death toll would be 100,000 - 200,000 WITH the mitigation in place the model numbers were total BS!!!
To which people will reply, “See, that’s how good our lock downs and quarantines have been working.”
I’ve already heard that one several times in person.
Don’t get the idea that i’m against hydroxychloroqine. I posted about it on Free Republic about a week before President Trump mentioned it and have been posting about it regularly ever since. I’m inclined to think it will help most people, especially in the hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin(or doxycycline) + zinc triad, but there are likely people it won’t save even if they get it early. It may even save some who have the worst comorbidities but probably not all. That’s why I’d call it a treatment rather than a cure. It may even work as a preventative.
On the economy, i’m optimistic about that. We’re America. We’re Americans. We’ll get things booming again, probably sooner rather than later.
Some of us think it’s complete gobshite, actually.
Chemo doesn’t save all cancer patients, and it kills many, you don’t hear people calling for stopping the use of Chemo, do you?
I know. The 100,000-200,000 was a projection with mitigation, but the modelers had to guess at how effective mitigation might be. That type of model was never set in stone. They weren’t making some sort of prediction like Nostradamus. It was always meant to be revised as new data came in.
I think the anti-hydroxychloroquine people are foolish.
