    Default How High Will The Coronavirus Death Toll Go.

    I guess much depends on how well the hospitals hold out. Which from what they have been saying, they aren't doing too well right now. The last I heard, they were predicting around 500,000 dead by March. Again, depending on how the hospitals hold out, I'm thinking it could be higher. Because we are going to have to deal with what will probably be a Thanksgiving super spreader event. And with so many people being so stupid about the coronavirus, Christmas will probably be another super spreader event. Neither would I expect an economic shutdown from our lame duck president Trump. I also heard Biden say that he wouldn't impose an economic shutdown. And any vaccine is going to be like the cavalry that arrived too late. Even then from what they said on the news, only about 60% of Americans are even willing to take it. But as the death toll rises, that could change. I hear the Chinese have a curse. To people they don't like, they may say, "May you live in interesting times." Unfortunately, we are living in "interesting" times. And with human caused global warming, mass migrations, an ever increasing overpopulation and all the rest, they are likely to become far more "interesting." But there probably won't be anybody around to look back on them to find them interesting.

    We are not getting hardly any information on how well the hospitals are stocked now, and we dont know if the Chinese and Indians will ship all of the supplies we need, so it is impossible to have an opinion on whether the hospitals will break down. Let's be very clear here, the information Embargo is a horrible sign as to Americas future.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    The death rate has been plummeting but that does not hold if the hospitals break down. Stocks are not the only problem....exhausted demoralized and betrayed front line medical staff is also a problem.

    The virus is more transmissible than we thought. We are heading for 300,000 deaths. There is nothing stopping the Trump virus from blasting past that into incredible levels. Trump fucked it all up.

    So things aren't looking good on that point. No matter how well they are or aren't socked. Also, Trump was supposed to have increased the manufacture of PPE here in the U.S. But as it turned out, it was mostly smoke and mirrors. Also, I think it was on 60 Minutes where they talked to a PPE manufacturer here in the U.S. The masks they made cost around $3.00 each. And they consisted of a flap of cloth with ear loop strings. The person doing the interview showed the PPE manufacturer what mask the Chinese made for around $.35 cents each looked like. It was cup shaped and had a rubber band that went behind your head to hold it firmly in place. It was superior in every way. What the fuck! Do we need to surrender to the Chinese to get something done right in this country?!

    Are you hallucinating? According to the news, death rates keep rising. As do infection rates. Right now we have around 1500 people dying each day from the coronavirus. Though it could be more.

    Yeah. They apparently don't like watching the news. They just want to pretend the virus away like their lord Trump.

    You needed to be more clear. I thought you were talking about human evolution. Though the coronavirus doesn't really evolve either. It just mutates.

    All living species either evolve or die out over time. A mutation is an evolutionary step. A good mutation allows it to thrive, a bad one allows it to die.
