Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

That’s either because not everyone has been wearing a mask or because people continue to be ignorant about the virus and how it spreads and therefore, falsely draw the wrong conclusions

 

You are trying to use logic on a guy who ignores 300,000 dead American and still thinks this is like the flu.

 

Interesting. Would like to hear his thoughts on why flu cases are down this year. Only difference I see is more mask wearers and social distancing.

 

How do you know it hasn’t helped? Because it’s not completely gone?

 

But we could have reduced the spread by a lot, which would have saved tens of thousands of lives. The best case scenario was that we would reduce the spread as much as reasonably possible, buying time until vaccines were available. We failed miserably at that.

 

You guys might be correct with that, I personally don't believe it since most never wear the mask like they should. I'll admit I could be wrong.

 

How do you guys know it really helped ? Because some experts say the mask helps? Keep it mind several of those same experts also stated the mask didn't help.

 

You must be feeling good after having a few shots of whisky with your neighbors trying to take your normal cheap shots to get your internet buddies to like your comments. Who's ignoring deaths or denying them? Nobody. This spreads and effects most just like the flu, are you denying this? Those who have underlying conditions are the ones have more severe or death.

 

He feels it hasn't helped. That's the new science.

 

The body's reaction to this infection is nothing like the flu. Covid is much more contagious than the flu. Covid kills at a rate 10x + what the flu does. Other than that, just likethe flu

 

You'recompletely wrong, most of my family has had already had Covid-19, they had little to no reaction. Like I stated earlier, those more susceptible are the ones usually having the worst reactions

 

Blah blah blah, and you think it has

 

It's a crap shoot. My 81 year old mother with lots of medical problems had few problems with covid. My 52 year old employee with no medical problems has been in and out of hospital 2x now and was almost intubated. Still dealing with pneumonia 4 weeks after initial test.

Should surgeons wear masks or wash their hands......

 

well they dont actually touch patients with their bare hands do they?

 

Well, I remember the Kansas study because it ended up being BS. When you cherry pick a start and end date the data can be made to show whatever side you want to focus on. Here is a chart of counties with mask mandates and counties without mask mandates.

 

Interesting, link?

 

Passed 330,000 dead Americans yesterday.

 

330,000 dead Americans that for sure died, but not 330,000 that Died of Covid. Some died from Covid, some died with Covid. Until we get excess mortality data and adjust it to account for lockdown deaths(non treatment for illnesses and drug and alcohol deaths as well as suicides we won't know the real extent of these numbers.
