Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread

Hello Nordberg,

For every death, 19 people are hospitalized, 18 have permanent heart troubles,10 have lung damage, 3 have strokes and 2 have neurological damage. Those who walk out still have problems to deal with. Fixating on deaths is inadequate. We may have learned how to keep people alive. But there is much more to worry about.

People are just not taking this seriously enough.

So hard to figure, coming out the 'tough guy' right.

Here, we find ourselves in a war not of our choosing, but one we must surely fight, and one that is currently kicking our you know what, and they don't want to fight it. Guns are useless weapons in this war, so they don't want to fight it with the only weapons we have. Masks, distancing, modified lifestyles to until we get it under control until we get a practical vaccine. And if the news is correct, all we have to do is hold out until January or so. They have one in the works. So we just need to buy time until then, keep on fighting the good fight, and they can't be bothered. Ignore it, downplay it, pretend it is no big deal, rant about personal rights, anything but get with the program and help their neighbors.

Because they won't fight, the death tolls rise.

We humans all need to watch each other's backs in this one, and they are letting down their end of the deal.

It's like the anti-masker, 'maskitude*' ones are actually on the side of the enemy, the coronavirus. Trying to help the enemy take more victims.

* maskitude: The attitude of the reluctant who have been forced by law to wear masks, but they don't want to. So they run around touching everything, getting far too close to others. It's like they are saying: 'OK you forced me to wear a mask but you can't force me to do anything else to stop the virus.'

Where did you find those stats you quoted? Got link?
 
Fortunately the death rate remains flat.
And, we're never told by the CDC how many cases are actually confirmed vs suspected and probable. Convenient for the fearmongers.

Why hasn't the President ordered the results to be made public? Is it because you think Trump is among the fearmongers?

#COVID45 is terrified that the real numbers are even higher than what is being reported. Most epidemiologists and other public health experts agree that it is likely to be far higher than what the official counts are.

Which would be why he's hiding the numbers just like he ordered the tests to be slowed down. Anyone who believes the CDC is deliberately masking the numbers then gives Trump a pass on the CDC numbers is only fooling themselves.

The CDC results are publicly accessible daily. Hopefully, with the new way coming up results will revert back to the way we started
prior to April 14th; the way the rest of the world has done it consistently by breaking down results by suspected, probable and confirmed (by lab results)
instead of rolling all 3 into one gigantic misleading number.
We'll see. It's hard to get the horse back in the barn, as the saying goes.

POVID wants to pretend the pandemic is over, but really it is surging.

It's all part of the New Republican Values(tm). Precious, precious fetuses are sacred. Existing human life... meh.

This has been their method of governance all along. Why do you think states are bidding for PPE? It's always about rape and pillage of the citizenry. It's capitalism unleashed.

Why else the order to stop reporting to the CDC?

Oh oh.

Bad day yesterday for the USA.

70k+ new cases and another 1K dead.

Expect worse. Capital must be saved at all costs. First the republicunts asked us to sacrifice our elderly. Then they asked us to sacrifice our youthful front line workers they scorned as "unskilled labor." Now they're asking for our children to die for the dear leader's re-election.

Make no mistake; this is the logical second to last step of unfettered republicunt governance.
 
Wednesday

USA

Total Cases 3,616,827

New Deaths +1,001

Total Recovered 1,645,962

Serious, Critical 16,459

Tot Cases/1M pop 10,924

Deaths/1M pop 423

Total Tests 44,846,166

It looks like the number of Serious, Critical Cases at 16,459 is creeping back up.

Was in the mid 15K range not too long ago.

Yep. And even worse -- it's rampant in the states that supported him last time. A strange election strategy -- kill off your base with a plague. Leave it to #COVID45 to believe that works. lol

Absolutely true. Of course I knew right away that you spoke truth before I even read your comments; the impotent groaning pEarl designated it as such with a "groan." lol

If there is ever a time in a nation's story where strong, centralized leadership is vital to survival, it's a pandemic. You can say the same about an attack too, like 9/11. I didn't like W at all, but at least he rose to the challenge and brought us all together after that horror. Can you even imagine if #TRE45ON had been POTUS then? Bin Laden would have become his new best buddy, "so misunderstood, it's so unfair to him, we get along fine, it's a beautiful thing." About all you could say good about it is we probably wouldn't have invaded Iraq, unless of course they rejected Toadstool's bid to build a Trump hotel in Baghdad. lol
