The US records 1,015 virus deaths in 24 hours - the lowest one-day tally in a month
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.com ...
From the article.
“The number includes those who have died with the virus - and not necessarily because of it”.
As versus drug overdose cases; auto accident deaths; criminal deaths; FLU deaths; Heart attack deaths; general elderly peoples deaths due to very serious medical conditions, etc.
Let’s get a perspective of “death” by various causes as versus death by COVID19.
Then take the “other deaths” that have been listed as “COVID19 deaths and subtract them from the Coronavirus daily total and see what you come up with (A lot less COVID19’s as the prime/main cause of death - SHOULD create a new category of COVID19 secondary cause for “deaths”. You’ll see some very interesting contrasts).
Not to make too big a point, but new infections are only down around 25%, at the moment.
That is down, but not hugely yet.
It’s one day. May not mean anything. Wait a couple of days to see if it’s start of a trend.
If these infected people had half a brain they would go directly to their doc and get themselves on hydro, Zpack, zinc, BEFORE they end up in the hospital!!!
The worldometers numbers have fallen into a fairly predictable, decreasing 7 day oscillation pattern, with low numbers lagging the weekends on Sunday and Monday. Go figure. The bureaucrats reporting the numbers have gotten bored and have gone back to their government leech banker’s hours schedules.
Infections will remain high (IMHO) because more testing is taking place. We need to be happy about death rate decline.
yes and here is one effect of the shutdown that is not going away soon: Increase in suicides that may surpass Covid 19 deaths.
1. Suicides are already the #10 leading cause of death in the U.S., almost 48,000. Every 1% increase in unemployment results in .9% increase in suicide and thousands more committing suicide. ( medical journal Lancet). For a concise analysis see the following excerpt below that estimates an increase from suicide and drugs of 70,000 this is from https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/04/13/shutdown_could_kill_more_americans_than_covid-19_142934.html
2. According to OC Register there has been an 8,000 % increase to suicide prevention calls. Normally one center that gets 22 calls a month last month got 1,800 calls, and sadly an increase in calls does correlate to an increase in suicide. https://www.ocregister.com/2020/04/19/suicide-help-hotline-calls-soar-in-southern-california-over-coronavirus-anxieties/
But CDC is projecting 3,000 deaths a day ‘real soon’
Unelected unaccountable bureaucrats
Cooked books.
But CDC is projecting 3,000 deaths a day ‘real soon’
according to a source familiar with the projection
In the face of increased testing the new infection numbers are pretty meaningless
Velllly interlllesting
You’d think at the minimum they would separate deaths FROM coronavirus with a separate category for Deaths by other causes in patients WITH coronavirus
Just shameful
bbbb....bbbbu.....bbbb....bbbbbbbut Leaked Internal Document. New York Times. Trump Administration privately expects 3000/day to be snuffing it by June...
Nah.. they got trillions of dollars, watched American citizens hidexunder their sinks and persecuted Christians. Sounds like a successful trial run.
Good to hear, because MSNBC is projecting exponential growth from here through the end of the year. A-holes.
Reporting decreases on weekends.
