Death by Corona numbers explode to 61

Hello ThatOwlWoman,

2000 now.

2500.

It's hard to keep up.

Hello Dutch Uncle,

Agreed, hence more Americans than the starving ChiComs are health compromised. OTOH, our medical system is better given it isn't overloaded.

Yet.

Hello Darth,



He was called racist not for cutting flights from China but for trying to call the disease by a term which included the word 'China.'

The fact is that it is not possible to prevent a world wide pandemic from entering our country by cutting immigration. We cannot isolate our country in a world economy. North Korea tried that. It hasn't worked out well for their economy.

The Chinese are responsible for the Chinese virus that they failed to contain and then lied about it.

Our mayor was very smart to shit down the Houston rodeo!

Canceling the SXSW was sad but necessary as well.

Hello Darth,

Global death by Corona numbers surpass US seasonal flu numbers 32,000 to 23,000.

That must be why we are no longer hearing the 'it's no worse than seasonal flu' arguments any more.

Your reporting is going to spawn a flu diet craze.

Heheheh. Or as one of our neighbors just texted: "I've eaten 11 times and taken 3 naps and it's still today."

Shit down. I really should change it, but I won’t.

They were also very proactive by shutting down SXSW very early.

That was back when DT was still in denial mode.

Very bold move.

Well congratulated, now.

Too bad the prez could not have been so advanced.

Would have saved lives.

My daughter texted me a meme that said does “My 600 lb. Life” find you or do you call them?

Obesity is definitely a problem in the U.S. and other industrialized countries. As you pointed out, it can lead to a host of comorbidities. That being said, especially for us over-60s, a bit of extra "fluff" is a good thing. It gives us the reserve to fight infections especially those that attack the lungs. When you are struggling to get enough O2 but can't, your body will begin to cannibalize your fat and then muscle in order to survive. Example: In 1994 I got an influenza-like illness that put me flat on my back for 10 days with temps as high as 105F. Ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. I weighed 95 lbs when I came out; looked like a survivor of Auschwitz. Had started out at 115. I was saved by my relative youthfulness and general good health. Many of we older folks don't have those luxuries now.

Daaayum! You're fortunate to be alive. That was quite an ordeal. I agree there's nothing wrong with a bit of extra fluff. I was just
focusing on the bigger picture of excessive sugar-related diseases which all compromise the immune system.

Where is the panic? All I have seen, other than the toilet paper, is calm orderly reaction.

Gosh I don't know dumbass; airports are closed for business, restaurants are closed for business, hair salons, bars, theaters, cities.....government offices. The stock market tanked over nothing right?

You are one major dishonest dumb fuck you know that?

How does the case fatality rate (CFR) of COVID-19 compare to other virus outbreaks and diseases?

[Truth Detector]

If we are not testing and therefore do not know the true numbers of those infected, will we ever know the true numbers of those who died?

COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance*†

Total cases: 122,653
Total deaths: 2,112

[Truth Detector]

This post has not aged well

We have had 2,112 deaths in three months. What is 2,112 divided into 308 Million??

Never waste a good crisis, cunt.
