Oh the horror. 1 out of 1,000.

That's still about 330,000 people. In one week.

This is from seven weeks ago. CV has mutated down since then so current data should be even lower percentages.

So "200,000 deaths" x 6% divided into the Current population of the U.S. (330,491,064) is what percentage?

I watch our local hospital for Covid patients....currently just three and none in ICU. Our area barely got touched by it before. I figure if they’re hospitalized it’s a pretty good indicator they’ve throughly tested for covid.

Will we never tire of repeating this absolute and total nonsense? The Democrats have been trying to exploit the coronavirus all year for political purposes. Is it a suprise that they are doubling down right before the election?

The way they put it...

Truth is so far about THREE percent of the US had “had” it. This, the most tested for virus in history I’d warrant.

And 99 percent of them survive. This will only get better as the virus moves from the most vulnerable to the less vulnerable.

I don’t doubt that more will “get” it and more will die. Same
Is true of TB. And all viruses.

Trump voters don’t believe the mass media lies:

Democrats do believe the mass media.

That is one reason that Biden is f*&^ed.

Yeah based on attendance at these rallies I doubt anyone will be deterred from voting.

Maybe. Lets take that 1 of 1,000 and discount for the

a. false positives
b. tests showing positives for trace amounts or the flu instead
c. math and tabulation errors
d. outright lies

not nearly so bad

about two in every 100,000 Americans have died of it.

So... it has a 0.002% fatality rate? Is that what you are saying? Did I do that right?

Well at the rate they have been reporting new cases this is rapidly becoming Democrat election math. Like 150% voter registration of all eligible voters.

Already every hospital ICU bed on the country has nine patients put in it just from last weeks new cases alone.

This is hugh, and series...

Ya, but if they really were concerned about controlling the spread of the virus they would allow those initially testing positive to use the HCQ cocktail.

There is no need for a huge, time consuming, double-blind study for use of a drug that has proven safe over 70 years and Millions of users.

If they are hospitalized it is a better indication of having a Cadillac insurance policy than Covid.

Hard to forecast with bad data! If they would stop calling every death the result of Covid-19 then we could deal with the problem.

Why do I have the feeling that this surge will crest on November 3, only to suddenly recede to nothing on November 4 should Biden win?

The media will suddenly switch out the word corona virus and replace it with the flu. And Joe will be awarded a Nobel for scaring off the corona virus.

Sorry, Atlantic. Not playing that game anymore. You should move on to pushing the coming ice age. It’s new and refreshing and would gin up interest in your ragmag.
