COVID related deaths

[PoliTalker]

The world currently has as many refugees as ever.

Living in squalor and close quarters.

They cannot practice social distancing.

Their life is hand to mouth.

There is no stay home stay safe for them.

What's supposed to happen in all those refugee camps when this thing hits?

Those places are a ticking time bomb.

I think all the statistical nonsense shows that people find figures unreal. If Trumpf went out and shot 1,000 people in New York tomorrow it would be a tiny percentage of the American population, but even in America it might well cause comment.

What does the election have to do with total fatalities?

Nobody is considering all the data because nobody has all the data. The models should be taken with a grain of salt because their predictions are no better than the data that is fed into them.

COVID has some heavy lifting to do in order to catch up with other recent outbreaks and maybe it will get there or maybe it won’t.

And because we lack data, it’s hardly inconceivable the numbers could start to top out in tens days or so and if that happens there’s going to be a lot of crow-eating.

I don’t like crow.

When medical decisions are based on political election campaign results, people die. Same goes for money. How many Americans have died because an insurance company deemed a procedure "experimental" or "too costly for the risk"? Same with political capital. At the moment Trump is bouncing between his opposing political desire to raise the economy and keeping the body count down below the annual flu virus death count. Better if he can keep it below "Obama's" 2009-2010 H1N1 body count of 12,469 deaths (which was 0.2% of those infected. Twice the flu rate but only 1/5th the COVID-19 rate).

Correct about data, which is why it's important to collect as much as possible before enacting risky actions. Until data is collected, it's best to proceed with caution.

True, but there's a difference between premeditated homicide and accidental or needless deaths. Each year about 650K Americans die of heart disease and about another 600K die of cancer and no one blinks an eye. About 37K Americans die each year in auto accidents and most Americans don't care. Presumably because, as a nation, we've done our best to make the roads and autos as safe as possible so it's either stop driving or accept the losses for now. In the case of a plague, there are measures that can be taken and our nation is doing it's best to take those actions. If they don't, and we start having a lot of needless deaths, We, the People are going to be unhappy about it.

Sorry, man, but you should read the links and study up on the differences between the three viruses mentioned.

All of them are flu.

[Into the Night]

Which goes directly to the point of the insidiousness of both the deadliness of this disease and the complacency of those who deny it's a problem even though they admit it will kill 1.5% of those infected.

Milder than most other flu. You are fear mongering.

This is informative data.

COVID-19 is a mostly a threat to susceptible populations [we knew that] but the chart confirms it. More importantly, it speaks to the *innate virulence* of the virus.

IOW, the Plague virus carried a 95%[!] mortality rate: it pretty much didn’t matter who you were or how healthy you were or etc. If you got the Plague you were almost certainly going to die. Other evidence suggests that the COVID virus isn’t particularly virulent—it can’t be, when there are so many asymptomatic carriers.

Maybe Trump told him that!

"This is a flu. This is like a flu"; "Now, you treat this like a flu"; "It's a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner." - Donald Trump.

Fortunately, the Plague is treatable now. It is a bacteriological infection, and can be treated with aggressive antibiotics. This is fortunate, since the homeless in the SOTC cities, such as Los Angeles, are carrying the Plague.

Covid-19 is a flu. It is a variant of the SARS virus, also a flu. No, we don't have flu shots for every kind of flu. We can, however, treat Covid-19 using drugs used for malaria. The seem to be very effective.

[Mason Michaels]

Agreed many of these people were probably going to die anyway this year

These COVID19 numbers are a freaking blip statistically

Idiotic assumption from a piece of shit that should do the right thing and step in front of a bus.

[Mason Michaels]

2227 dead. We are soon to exceed 911 numbers. Does this feel like an emergency yet, Trumptards?

As long as it's not them they don't care!

Big Pharma and CDC are all about pushing drugs and vaccines rather than informing the public to take responsibility for the
health of their immune systems which requires getting enough of the hormones A & D3 plus vitamin C daily and less of sugar.
Young and old can both be deficient in these areas. Yearly check-ups should always display A & D level ranges in blood work.

CDC sells 2 codes for Covid.
First one shows the definite virus.
Second one is...like...well...they have a cough...so it MIGHT be the virus.

Unfortunately they use BOTH under the heading of Covid 19. Sending the world and economy into a panic...bunch of liars!

Hello Darth,



I'm glad it's that low.

Now, what's supposed to stop it from eventually infecting a majority of the planet?

Needless to say, .6% of a large population is a large number.

What if 60% of the USA got it before a an effective vaccine is available publicly?

Let's do that math.

329M x 60% = 197 million people getting the virus.

.6% of them die.

197M x .6% = 1.2 million dead Americans.

This is not a good thing.

That is around 10 times the amount predicted by Fauci.

And, what IF 60% of people took care of their immune systems on a regular basis?
