Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

He is a mathematician whose numbers have been repudiated by epidemiologists in Israel. Your right wing source took from the article in Israel and left out the repudiation. I will locate it for you. That is the problem with relying on the purveyors of falsity.

 

What's amazing about this thread is you can see the evolution of all of these and then see equally how easy right-wingers have simply moved from one new talking point to the next without even feeling bad that they were wrong about the previous one.

What's funny is the expert's you guys believe if a person did actually inject this and died it was still be classified from the Coronavirus

 

Here's the thing Mutz. The answer is starting to fall somewhere in the middle.

Yes. This disease is more contagious and yes social distancing kept numbers down for that fact.

...BUT with the death rate now appearing to be MUCH lower than originally thought we may find the total shutdown was a big overreaction. My town, a decent mid size city, has been relatively untouched. Yet we have restrictions equal to NYC.

This antibodies result should be the headline in the COVID-19 narrative at the moment...but CNN has basically had it buried below political attacks.
FOX had it on top yesterday, but has buried it.

Good news is no news right now. It is very weird.

So, I disagree that we have been "had", but think our media needs to start speaking more clearly about the actual metrics here.

All they want to discuss are press conference foolishness and how evil protestors who may need their jobs back are.

We have not been "had", but I think we are being misinformed at this point.

Equal out the reporting. Stop trying to create narratives. Stop fighting with each other (FOX and CNN). They have more articles about each other than they do antibodies testing.

 

Isn't that how they're coming up with all these models by math,that would be a yes. And those models have been wrong from the start . You just keep believing those faults models and I'll believe mine

 

Even on small sample sizes, there would be no straight forward comparisons. For example, there are countless elderly developments and retirement homes in and around NY/NJ. As expensive as land is, would be stunned if there even was a retirement home in Santa Clara. In other words, populations being sampled are dramatically different.

 

There is no good news. Everyone dies and no one ever recovers.

 

I'll be honest I've read so many articles and went back and forth with so many of you guys I forgot which new source, I'm usually real good about posting from which article I got it from but to be totally honest I can't remember

 

Let's not forget as recently as 2017, the flu killed 80k people and may have killed 60k in a similar time during its peak and that's with a vaccine and immunity. So using your analogy, perhaps this is similar to a (severe) flu, we just dont have the weapons to fight it yet.

 

FAKE NEWS!!!

 

Like Louisville's 1000 cases total prediction and fever's prediction that we would peak by 4/1.

 

The number of Covid-19 deaths will almost certainly surpass the number of the number of flu deaths during the 2017 within less than a month and that's comparing a period of three months (Covid-19) with a period of seven or eight months. There were an estimated 61,000 deaths during the 2017-18 flu season. We just passed 50,000 Covid-19 deaths in two months.

 

Just pointing out the CDC estimates for 2017 flu deaths is 61,000 not 80,000. The 80,000 number comes from an article published in 2018 not from the current CDC website.
Burden of Influenza

 

And how willing they are to keep believing the sources that told them the previous wrong things.

If a source keeps giving you bad information, maybe it is time to look for a new source of information?

 

Fortunately I learned not to believe charlatans a long time ago.

 

The CDC raised the Flu number to 80k in 2017.
CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in the U.S. - STAT

Some it had a very dangerous peak similar to Covid-19's run.

I completely understand our need to limit spread as no immunity or vaccine exists...but honest journalism needs to start digging into more honest metrics.

Well if said person did inject themselves with that, the only reason they would do it is because trump suggested it as it would cure the virus...so technically, it should be classified as a death RELATED to coronavirus.
