I might if I had any idea WTF you are drooling about.
Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...
- Thread starter focomoso
- Start date
No drooling here.....
But you sure are offended....aren't cha..!
Don't try to counter while I take the hook out of your " Wretched " mouth......!
Pretty much all have been accurate.
Earliest reports were 250,000-1mm can die here if we don't take drastic measures.
We took drastic measures and looks like we will exceed 150,000 anyway. Science and public health experts all agree.
Back then Trump was saying what, "it's 15 people, headed to zero?" A few weeks later, during lockdown, it was "if we keep this thing to 100,000 deaths, we will have done a great job."
So no big surprises here.
Sorry, bud. You can try to read yourself, but that may be tough for you. You're clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed...
Why are you such an ignorant fool......
You really believe the 90,000 + deaths are all or even half COVID-19.....Are you really
that stupid...!
When you " Claimed " the Democrat Party as YOUR party to represent YOU on a
political platform...did you flush every last bit of logic and critical thinking down the shitter...!
Really ...are that Stupid..!
Are you talking about Benghazi?
So the experts were right and maybe we have done a very good job...
Ever since, Trump has been moving the goalposts on the pandemic, and on Sunday, with coronavirus cases and deaths mounting, Trump said that keeping the U.S. death toll between 100,000 and 200,000 would be “a very good job.”

Does the " DEATH " Count include:
Cancer
Heart Attacks
Diabetes
Murder
Suicide
Gov Cuomo induced DEATH
Beatings from Nurses...........

Show me a quote from a public health leader that hasn’t been accurate.
Facts ass wipe...
Daffy list the facts. Until then, you really should shut up.
"Ex wanna be t-partiers"? WTF?
You try so hard to be relevant, all you have is just more of the same made up hysteria...
You're pathetic.
Not a quote but to the point.
Officials are still all over the place on whether the public should wear masks. And if they do change the recommendations and urge people to wear them, they’ll have to first, explain to the public that it’s more about preventing people from spreading the virus than catching it; second, that it doesn’t replace social distancing; and third — contrary to what’s appearing on social media — the earlier advice was based on the best science available then, not because the masks were in short supply...
There are two bright spots as scientists learn more. The mortality rate is probably going to be lower than initially estimated — although the death toll may be high because so many people are infected. And so far, it hasn’t mutated in a way that makes it more dangerous — or harder to attack with a vaccine.

Multiple Studies Suggest COVID-19 Mortality Rate May Be Lower Than Expected
Published: May 07, 2020 By Gail Dutton
As the mortality figures for COVID-19 continued to rise, people are wondering where they will stop. The actual death toll for COVID-19 won’t be calculable for some time, but there are early indications that it may be significantly lower than calculations of deaths per confirmed cases lead one to believe.
As an article in Lancet Infectious Diseases pointed out, calculating mortality rates based on the number of deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases of infection is not representative of the actual death rate. There are two issues, the authors said. First, the denominator should be the number of people who were infected at the same time as those who died. The second issue is that many people experienced very mild symptoms and so did not seek medical treatment and were not included in the calculation.
To get to the bottom of this, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched a 10,000 person study in mid-April. It aims to determine how many adults in the U.S. who do not have a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who have antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The results of this serosurvey will shed light on the spread of this virus throughout the U.S. and on which populations and communities are most affected.
“An antibody test is looking back into the immune system’s history with a rear-view mirror,” said Matthew J. Memoli, M.D., M.S., principal investigator of the study and director of NIAID’s Laboratory of Infectious Diseases Clinical Studies Unit. “By analyzing an individual’s blood, we can determine if that person has encountered SARS-CoV-2 previously.”
Results from the NIH study ought to settle the controversy swirling around other similar studies.....
....
There are two possible inferences from all of these studies.
One possibility is that academics from our leading institutions – or the tests they employed – are error-prone. Debates over methodology are ongoing, and questions swirl around error rates for tests that as yet are approved only under the FDA’s emergency use authorization.
Alternatively, these results may indicate the deadly COVID-19 pandemic – with mortality rates generally under 1% – is no more deadly than the seasonal influenza. If that is true, the near-global stay-at-home mandates could have been an overreaction.

There is something weird about this virus that continues to confuse. It’s supposed to be relatively benign unless you are elderly or have pre-existing conditions...until it isn’t. Children are not at risk...until they are (the bizarre multisystem inflammatory syndrome).
I will admit that when coronavirus was in its very early stages I didn’t understand the panic. I thought it was going to be similar to the flu. But then it hit 2 people in my small circle—a co-worker‘s wife who is in her mid-40’s with no pre-existing conditions and very physically fit, and another co-worker in his late 30’s. The co-worker’s wife was so ill she needed help to walk to the bathroom and they went to the emergency room about 5 days in because she couldn’t breathe. My other co-worker also had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance due to breathing issues.
I no longer assume because I am fit and healthy that I’ll be fine. I wear a mask when I go out because it’s the right thing to do when there are so many question marks with this virus. If nothing else, wearing a mask will reduce the viral load in the air. So why not just wear the damn mask? It’s not forever and it’s a minor inconvenience. No one complains about “freedoms” when it comes to wearing seat belts.
Im a grown man.
If I wear a seat belt, its because I decide to do it.
If I dont, its because i decide not to.
Same with the damn mask.
No
