COVID-19 Update - 11/19/2020

My own workup | 11/19/2020 | DoughtyOne

Pennylvania Nursing Home (LTC) death stats November 19.

Data from PA Department of Health, swept as of midnight November 18-19

LTC deaths = 6169 (increase of 12)
Total deaths = 9581 (increase of 116)

Cumulative LTC deaths as percentage of total = 64.4 %

The cumulative total convenient dips lower as news begins to break that PA Secretary of Health Levine (I will avoid first names and pronouns) may be under consideration for a high level post in a potential Biden administration. That consideration may also explain the rash of masking orders issued this week: Wear them in your own house if someone enters who is not from your household and expect to keep wearing them—even with a vaccine—throughout 2021.

You need to pull your head out, and realize that this
information is being used by the Left. Should we simply
refuse to look at it, or should we keep an eye on it?

These numbers are out there. JHU and WoM, have them and
people go there to see them.

Here we present them and talk about them. That’s what we
do with countless articles across the forum.

I have a problem with them myself, and I point out my
issues with them daily.

If you folks would spend half as much time looking at
the actually data, and quite firing off without knowing
what you’re talking about, you would realize that.

What is wrong with reporting numbers?

[central_va]

Why talk about an almost benign virus that can’t even kill a baby?

At the bottom of the Update, there are a number of links
to possible treatments that may be helpful.

Consider the folks giving you a hard time.

They are the nasty dead-Enders. They won’t count for much soon.

We have to come up with a plan B. And then onwards.

[Golden Eagle]

I hope you know, that I cherish and respect you, so much, for many years now.

But how about you just send out a link to this info, for those that are interested, instead of all these tables and charts every day?

Your wonderful and insightful posts, on all other subjects, are missed. Most just don’t see covid as that critical right now. I know several that are 70+ who had no issue at all.

Highest Regards.

[DoughtyOne]

So I do need to take you by the hand and explain it to you
huh. These numbers are being used to support the call for
lockdowns.

I present them so that FReepers can view them and understand
what the Left is using to support their efforts.

Why do I post this? Because governors across the nation, and
mayors too, are using them to support shutdowns.

I’d think you’d be interested, but no you’d rather have
the information banned.

Do you think the information just disappears if we don’t
look at it?

Do you think the 20-50 people who look at this information
per day are going to flip the nation?

If you don’t like looking at it, if it scares you this bad,
if you’re so upset by it, just don’t enter the thread.

Pretend none of this exists.

The rest of us will continue to look at what the Left is
using to control our nation.

Sure, if we just ignore it, maybe everyone will just forget about the 300,000 dead bodies.

I’m sure Governor Cuomo would love that. Then nobody would ask questions about why so many died as a result of his policies, and nobody would call for grand jury indictments. Yes, by all means, let’s bury our heads in the sand and sing happy songs.

0.65% Infection Fatality Rate with an R0 of 2.5 equates to a max of 1.3 million dead Americans. We went to war when a group of radical zealots murdered 3,000. But 1.3 million die - many of them because of the botched responses from Cuomo, Newsom, and others, and you rant and rave because somebody posts the numbers.

Are you Governor Cuomo?

[2aProtectsTheRest]

I’ve posted a couple times before, but here’s a reminder on this particularly hostile thread day that MANY of us appreciate your efforts to keep this information available for those of us interested in it!

You’re doing the right thing. The people trying to bury this information only help governors like Cuomo and Newsom who SHOULD be under indictment right now for tens of thousands of cases of negligent homicide due to their failures. The higher the numbers climb, the louder our calls should be to indict those criminals. Burying our heads in the sand does nothing but help them escape justice.

Thank you for the nice note. I started this effort 247 days
ago. I expected to do it for several months. It has now
been over eight months.

It’s not easy providing the information. I spend 3-4 hours
per day on this project. I debate with myself whether I
should go on. I have come very close to stopping, but
each time I consider it, it occurs to me that it would
leave a void of information.

I have been very tempted to stop for five months now. I
log updates to 232 nations every day. I do it twice a day
so there won’t be any surprises as I download data. Each
time a new nation is added, it take 45 minutes of extra
time for me to incorporate that nation in.

I use WorldoMeters as my primary source these days, but
there are four nations tracked by Johns Hopkins University
that aren’t tracked by WoM.

This is a thankless job. I get more insults than thanks for
doing it. That’s okay. I didn’t do it for praise.

I do it because I want the information to be accessible for
review and discussion.

If anyone doesn’t want to look at it, that’s fine with me.

If anyone wants to look at it, that’s fine with me.

This is information that is worthy of review.

If you don’t wish to, I respect that. For those that do,
it’s here.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you.

I agree with most of those headlines and expressions of
thoughts about COVID-19.

I know that many folks see this thread as a means of scaring
people. It isn’t.

It’s a means of providing information about what is out
there in the way of Cases and Fatalities.

There are discussions all over the forum with folks talking
about how cases are faked or mis-identified. There are
articles on misdiagnosed causes of Fatalities.

None of them provide a comprehensive version of the
cases or Fatalities. They just talk about the problems
without providing anything of substance to replace the
numbers I present.

I provide these numbers. They are on the record. Whether
we buy into the idea they are factual or not, they are
what is out there.

Here I provide them, what changes are taking place, and
what I see as gamesmanship. With this report I just
published, there are strange numbers for California, as
the leading state with New Cases.

They attribute 14k new cases to California. For the last
week or so, the California numbers have been bouncing
around significantly. They just don’t look normal, and
I stated that.

Several times over the last few days we’ve had states
declare over 10k New Cases, then go right back down to
anywhere from 2k to 6k on alternate days.

I want that looked at and discussed.

[Golden Eagle]

It’s not easy providing the information. I spend 3-4 hours per day on this project.

We know this. The posts are very impressive, from a technical standpoint.

I debate with myself whether I should go on.

And you have earned that right, to decide what you would like to post. I am just suggesting to you, that most Freepers would prefer you invest your valuable time in posting your insights on all the other important threads that occur each day, rather than this recurrent, potentially boring, one.

We truly love and miss you on the other threads, and to think it is another thing lost to the CCP virus, is depressing.

Your FReind...GE

[DoughtyOne]

Thank Golden Eagle. I appreciate it.
