The Coronavirus thread

The main problem is not having accurate data on how many have actually had the virus in the US. If you take worldometer stats at face value, this is a
very deadly virus. As of this morning they show 6,182,376 cases of the virus in US, 3,426,290 recoveries 95%, and 187,368 deaths 5%. So if all 330 million
citizens got the virus and 95% recovered, 16,500,000 would die at the current death rate.

Annually the CDC factors the death rate of the flu by Tested Cases + Assumed Cases related to Deaths. Worldometers and other data omits all ASSUMED cases. We know anywhere from 10x to 85x the numbers tested positive have had or do have it.

If you believe an ounce of what you just typed, you're a dumbass.

Oh...wait
 
About 80% of all deaths have been with underlying conditions.

Actually....the level to which we've all been had is even greater than 80%....

CDC: 94% of Covid-19 deaths had underlying medical conditions

ATLANTA, Ga. (WEYI) - The Centers for Disease Control released information showing how many people who died from COVID-19 had comorbidities or underlying conditions as they are sometimes referred to by doctors.

According to the CDC, comorbidity is defined as: " more than one disease or condition is present in the same person at the same time. Conditions described as comorbidities are often chronic or long-term conditions. Other names to describe comorbid conditions are coexisting or co-occurring conditions and sometimes also “multimorbidity” or “multiple chronic conditions."

Comorbidity and underlying conditions can both be used to describe conditions that exist in one person at the same time. These can also contribute to a persons death who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The CDC said:

Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.

The CDC says people need to always social distance and perform best practices when it comes to staying safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the CDC 9683 died in the United States with only having COVID-19 listed on their death certificate.

The following chart from the CDC shows a breakdown of the deaths by age.

It's already been widely publicized that estimated cases are at least 10 times the number of confirmed cases. Some estimates are 30 or times higher.

It varies from state to state but a significant chunk of the high case fatality rate is from the virus tearing though nursing homes. Nursing homes contain the most elderly, ill and weak among us. The vast majority of people who died have multiple serious underlying conditions. Literally any respiratory illness would be likely to kill many of these people at any given time, this one just spread more rapidly than most. To extrapolate this death rate among the general population is foolish.

Isn't he dead? Wasn't there a news story that Kim Jung Il was like not seen for months?

Then Covid hit and I haven't heard a thing about North Korea.

High speculation from South Korea that there has been a body double and archived footage of him. Also per SK his sister has been highly involved in running country

Magic 8 Ball is a better decision maker at this point. Anybody who says he or she is planning on voting for the guy should lose the right to vote for the next four elections.
 
My transcription of what Gropin' Joe stutter-mumbled:

"Covid has taken this year, just since the outbrea ... has taken more than ...100 years, look ...Here's ... the lives ... it's just ... think about it ... more lives this year than any other year for the past 100 years."

Yes, that is actually what he just said. Okay, I will give him that the Chinese flu killed more in 2020 than in 1820. So there's that.

I honestly wonder what the DNC is thinking right now. What all these candidates that were at least able to stand at a podium and complete a sentence and not soil themselves are thinking. This is what you came up with?

Oh...wait

I will fix your last sentence. It could have been much shorter and more accurate with just "you're a dumbass" no if needed.

Why bother even traveling to Pittsburgh? He just read a prepared statement with no audience and took no questions. He may as well have stayed in the basement. Are people in Pittsburgh supposed to feel blessed that he breathed in their city for an hour or so?

I thought the US debunked the death rumor, but hard to say. I saw a report he was in a coma recently, but then he was supposedly out and about again. Guy seems to have 9 lives

What the hell did he just say? My nonverbal autistic kids can put together a better sentence than that...
 
I haven't heard the 10X mentioned since April, that was the time before widespread testing was available. I'm sure its much lower now. But even if is 10X, then at current death rates if everyone
got it 1,650,000 would die. If you believe 70% is herd immunity, then its 1,155,000. I believe the CDC published that the US would experience 2.13 million deaths if 65% of the population got the virus.
In any case, this is nothing like the flu. Thousands of medical professionals don't die each flu season.

The other candidates are nut-case lefty commies and the (D)ims knew the American people were never going to vote for Bernie and Kameltoe. Too commie.

So they prop up Gropin' Joe, get the great good fortune of a disease they overhype and use to hide him in the basement, thinking they can play "Where's Walljoe?" and then simply use him as a figurehead.

The (D)ims drastically miscalculated on the riots. Inexplicably, the group of morons and thieves known as the (D)ims believed that having their lunatic base burn businesses and promoting doing away with the police was a good idea. I guess the only explanation is that they are that dumb. Privileged scarecrow Nancy showing off her $15 ice cream during a massive, government-imposed recession dumb. Kameltoe pretending to be "tough on crime" ... while bailing out criminals dumb. Stuttering Joe trying to explain anything dumb.

So after that horrendous miscalculation, they are now forced to drag Gropin' Joe out of the basement and let him try to read for 15 minutes, with the expected implosion occurring as Joe opens his mouth and tries to explain ... you know, the 100 years since the '16 and '17 and the thing and pushup contest and you're a damn liar, you dog-faced pony soldier and look me over and vote for the other Biden and here's my sister, uhh, she's my wife, and let me bite my wife's finger and despite a litany of public appeals from many people including me back in January not to let American lives and the U.S. economy on the world hang on his confidence quote the Chinese word ... is it pudding day?
 
I was tested last night and just got my results. Negative. I'm thinking about having a very small tent party.
 
The rules are just for you peons, not for your Dem leaders. I guess this was a protest haircut.
