Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Hmm, so there isn't a strong correlation between disease rates of those over 70 and under 70? Evidence of this?

 

Crossed 3000 deaths today.

 

Have no idea how you could draw that conclusion (other than it's your desired conclusion). Actually the study indicates the opposite of your conclusion. The droplet had to be larger, about 50 microns. It had to be carried farther (20 feet) by airflow. The transmitter wasn't wearing a mask in the restaurant. A mask would have filtered a droplet that size out and the other person (the infectee) would not have been infected if the the transmitter had worn a mask.

 

This is just insane.

 

Depends what you mean by a lot. But no, my solution is what we should’ve done from the beginning. The damage our leaders have done to kids especially minorities and the poor kids will reverberate for years and some kids will never recover. But hey, at least you now realize how wrong you were.

 

Look at the death rates. The data is out there. Anyone from 20-49 is 30 times less likely to die from Covid. But hey, you finally admitted you were wrong on schools closing, next step is I will get you to admit lockdowns for everyone are wrong.

 

Before taking your victory lap, explain why the virus hasn’t transmitted through schools the way it has in every other environment. I’d love to hear it in your words.

 

Already took the victory lap. Go read up on why the data is consistent that schools don’t transmit Covid. That data has been around for 7+ months but some idiots in govt still refuse to see it.

 

Right, you have no explanation. You picked the study that told you what you wanted to hear, the study that showed no viral transmission because they chose not to record cases. You treated your kids like lab rats. Congrats, Im happy for them you guessed right, but you have zero understanding of why you were right. And no, the charts don’t explain it, they show what happened, not why it happened. That wasn’t what I asked, but it’s the only answer you have.

 

Not an answer to the question I posed. It was a pretty simple question, so I will ask it again: what is the correlation between the infection rate of those over and under 70? Seems like a pretty important piece of information if you are going to argue that people above an age can be isolated effectively.

 

Yep, you got me, I guessed...

Man, someone is a sore loser.

 

That’s not pertinent. The issue is older people have many health issues that Covid will exasperate. We’ve known since early when Italy got hit. Trump and the Governors blew it by not locking down nursing homes nationwide in March.

Of course it is pertinent, it is just inconvenient for your argument. If the overall infection rate has a strong relationship with the age-specific infection rate, then a climbing overall infection rate would lead to a climbing rate of infection for those in the age group, likely because actual isolation is nearly impossible over the long-term (older people need to interact with a variety of community members regularly, especially over the length of time that this has been going so far).

 

Exactly. Have to wear masks and social distance. Sit next to someone with a high viral load, both with masks, for 3 hours and the chance of getting the virus is increased than with briefer encounters indoors. No doubt.

 

Still doing this dishonest crap? 7,500 people die everyday in the US. So Dec 8th 2019 tops all of them. Just pick any day in the last decade is higher than any of those days.

 

Nope.

 

More Americans died in one day from covid than from 9/11. And it is happening daily. Then, President Bush asked Americans to stand together. Now we have people who think wearing a face mask or not going to a bar is too much for them to sacrifice to cut the death rate, get on top of this virus, and get our economy going. Selfish, unpatriotic BS that so many Americans won't even try to help our country.

 

Not really, you’d just have to find doctors, nursing home staff, kitchen, janitorial, etc all over 70 as well and then just lock the doors. It’ll work itself out. They’ll be fine.

 

You are one of the least credible and least respected posters on too hot so anything you post is laughable.
