Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Yes. I suspect he feels better about himself when he denigrates an “opponent”, an entity who doesn’t agree with him or who attacks (or Trump perceived as attacking) him. It’s not a positive character trait and accomplishes nothing.

Are the people attacking Trump really any better than him? They use the same tactics as him for the very same reasons. It’s sad that none are capable of greater self control. Trump’s his own worst enemy and is seemingly incapable of understanding that.

 

Have you read my responses?
1. The antibody tests, IF they translate nation wide, would have the death rate similar to the flu.
2. 2017. Flu killed almost 80K (per CDC). A majority died during the peak 12 weeks. That would average pretty darn close to 35K in 6 weeks.

 

Yes, most of them are.

 

LEAVE TRUMPY ALONE!!!!

 

True. And the rate is higher than it will be due to no vaccine or treatments.

 

The 2017 flu was the worst flu in a long time. We didn't have any social distancing for it either. Without the extreme measures we are taking coronavirus would be far worse than the 2017 flu. Even with all the social distancing coronavirus is going to end up killing more people than the 2017 flu did.

 

Agree. Lack of vaccine is huge.
But I was just answering his question. 2017 was the answer.

 

We can actually provide treatments for the flu however. There is no known treatment for Covid-19.

 

This thread does not show up on my menu of GatorNana's Too Hot threads??? Maybe I was banned and didn't know it? If I was banned I need to know why, to avoid language or discussion that was deemed unacceptable. I must say, I have grown increasingly concerned for the health, safety, and welfare for our Florida and US citizens during this pandemic event.

 

Meanwhile, then there is this in actual news:

Well, your post shows up. Maybe reboot

 

One of your posts was held up by the software. Something in it must have triggered the hold up. You should be able to see it now

 

United States Coronavirus: 709,735 Cases and 37,154 Deaths - Worldometer

32,165 new cases, 2535 new deaths, 56,900 considered serious/critical

At the present rate, the US will hit 40,000 on Sunday

 

how would population density affect death rate? infection rate I can understand, death rate..not so much

 

semi good news. so far the highest daily new case count was 34196 back on april 4. i know testing is slow, but the daily number of tests are still about the same, and we are not increasing rapidly.also except for the day 3800 deaths were dumped in, highest daily deaths were on april 15, 2618, which of course not to be taken lightly, again both are far below what we were told to expected by the surgeon general almost 2 weeks ago, so, are we at the peak, leveling off, going down, what?

 

I am. I'm a fairly despicable person. And I am also demonstrably better than Emperor T.

 

Docs? More infections in a short space, viral load is higher.

 

I don't know about ignorance - OK, maybe some, but I see it headed towards where its patriotic and thus Trump loving, and godly to ignore the public health officials and social distancing. Pretty sure once states open up again or even talk about it, a goodly portion of the citizenry are going to go from Phase 1 to Phase 3 in big damn hurry.

 

And we will be at 60,000 by early May.

This model is so wrong. I hope they update whatever algorithm they are using for it. And I hope people in authority aren't basing any decisions on it. The model has us down to 8 deaths on June 1 and no deaths after June 16. That just doesn't come close to passing any kind of smell test.
