Interesting theory of why some Asian people are immune to Covid. Hope people don’t still believe masks saved them from the virus. One would think the Danish Mask study would’ve cleared that up.

 

for those who really care, the overall positive percentage to date is about 6.9%

 

MN shutting down. Don’t know all the details but sounds like some pretty serious restrictions beginning tomorrow.

 

2065 today first time over 2000 deaths since May 7th (2177)

11/19 also marks the 21st recorded day of over 2000 deaths. The other 20 days took place April 7th to May 7th.

 

348 reported deaths away from breaking into the top 10 days - 2413 5/15

 

That damn Biden!

 

I think we'll be hitting 3k deaths per day within a few weeks. The vaccines can't get here fast enough.

 

who is ignoring it. he was called out for it and admitted he was wrong. He owned it and apologized for it

 

Only public execution will suffice.

 

Hospitals in half the states are facing a massive staffing shortage- STAT

And we have yet to reach peak levels for this wave. This time around the hot spots are spread across the country not isolated to a few states.

 

Don't understand why your stat's never include daily death rates. Over 2,000 now, IMHO that is the most important stat of all.

 

Well, trying to differentiate dying from Covid and with Covid is hard to do.

 

High risk individuals get to jump the line. What will be the standard? My wife and I are both over 60, though I'm in excellent health. (That could change if necessary.) Hope my dad gets it soon. He's 90 and can't wait to get back to the office.

 

The standard? Like everything else in this country Strange, those who pay the most for the short cut.

You can be assured that the priority in the US will look like this:
Tie - Billionaires and Politicians
Millionaires
Pro Athletes
Music Stars
Famous Folk

After these most important sectors are squared away then the proletarian masses will be thrown needles from a moving truck.

 

And holiday gatherings to come...

 

For you and me it definitely is. For doctors? Not so much.

 

There is a stated strategy that I believe gets it to healthcare workers, first responders and other frontline civil servants like police. Next was to be vulnerable populations in care facilities.

Beyond that, not sure. Personally, I will wait until the end of next year as everyone runs out to become the Phase 4 safety and efficacy studies for these companies. I am no anti-vaxxer, but I also do not need to be in the first 20-50 million people getting these shots either. I can live without restaurants (I am not wishing that they fail, I just do not need to go sit in one), I can live without in-store shopping, I can live without travel and I have been working from home since March 1 and can keep doing it.....well, forever if my employer decides I should.

 

I am all for it. I hope that they identify all of the low level side-effects that lead to death in that group you have listed. I cannot think of a better group to perform medical experiments on.
