OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

[magnifier661]

And yet it's so much closer to the truth than the yarns you spin.

I’m spinning their reporting, so go figure...

I don't believe those numbers for a second. When do you plan on testing the globe to find out the real number? 6 months? 12?

what numbers don't you believe?...the covid numbers?

people have been talking since it all began that the mortality rate of covid would fall as the testing increased. Two weeks ago the mortality rate was 3.4% in the US....now it's over 5%

we've tested 3.4M people in the US....that's about 1% of the population

the world's numbers don't show any decreasing trends in mortality rate:



that's a 6.7% mortality rate in case you're interested

Germany is the outlier among bigger western nations:



and they have a 3% mortality rate

I would imagine if we ever get to high levels of testing the actual mortality rate will fall, but again, we've tested 1% of the population so far and it hasn't

You said it’s better than what I’m sharing in here. Since you made that statement, me sharing their reporting would mean 1.) You actually endorse my posts or 2.) you are lying with that statement.

Or maybe it means I am able to make a distinction between what you type and what you link.

If I quote the bible it doesn't prove I'm God.

Although I definitely am.

Lets use a specific company in hillsboro oregon as an example.
This company employs a ten's of thousands of people in Oregon.
On one site it's had 3 confirmed cases via testing. It sent those three people home, along with their co-workers for 2 weeks.

This company believes they identified where the cases came from. An on-site taco truck.
They've since removed said taco truck and won't allow them to come back for the foreseeable future.
However this truck served many, many more than just 3 people a day.
How many people were actually infected from this truck if this was indeed the case?
How many people were infected during the incubation period for this virus?
With tens of thousands of employees employed by this company in Oregon alone. Considering how infectious this virus is.
Would you put money on only three people got infected? Or would you put money on more people were infected. Yet believed it was seasonal allergies or worse found themselves asymptomatic.

To me it goes what is the demographic we're testing?
Are we testing all of those who came into possible contact with a confirmed case? No.
Are we testing those who are experiencing symptoms of the virus? No.

Who are we testing?

 

[Orion Bailey]

Right. Well, get rid of it then. You can certainly do it in your own life, even if no one else does.

lol. Nice concept and for those who take pause to research prior to supporting aNd limiting what they do hear, great.
But lets not forget humans flock and follow by nature. Throughout history we have by and large been sheep going back to the pharoahs.

who controls what the sheep hear in todays world?

the media is absolutely the pied piper of our current society.

Trump is a puppet just like Biden is.
Its the media and backdoor political agendas by the media giant ceos that lead the sheep.

Explain this one to me, but why did they carry Confederate flags along with MAGA ones in their protest? Ultimately, this dumbass stunt might just resulst in Dems sweeping the ballot in Michigan.

I really wish I could explain, but I have no explanation for these people.

Well I am sure if something happens to him after he gets out it will be blamed on Hillary Clinton.

So he's probably a carrier and they let him out? Good job

Would he still have a head with that many bullet holes?

 

[magnifier661]

Would he still have a head with that many bullet holes?

Lol I would assume no. Speaking of which, have you ever seen those Mexican Cartel assassinations? They literally fire like 20 rounds into the face. It’s said because they don’t want their families to have an open casket.

 

[JoshuaHall]

So what's your solution? Who would have handled it well, in your view?

barfo

Well, unlike most people, I readily admit I HAVE NO IDEA.

And here’s why:

A majority of the issue, in my opinion, is that we have no fucking clue on a) how to contain it, b) how to prevent it and c) how to prevent it from reoccurring and d) the legislation passed doesn’t help many people.

As China, South Korea and pretty much every other country that has even attempted to slightly lift regulations has found out, it comes right back and starts infecting people.

This also doesn’t take into account what will happen when people can fly again.

We also don’t know if “herd immunity” will work.

And the idea that we could’ve been more prepared with tests is a false one, in my opinion. Everyone cites Germany, but they have something like 80 million people — and South Korea who has maybe 60 million — don’t quote me on that though.

When problems arise in larger territories and populations, the problems are exponential in their impact rather than a linear line.

In my opinion, it’s a no win situation for whoever was in charge.

THAT SAID...

Without getting into the politics of it all, neither party had/has the average persons “best” interest at heart given the bailouts and legislation passed.

For example, one independent candidate stated that if this was *really* about the people, you could’ve paid every family in America 5,000 for 3 months with that 2 trillion stimulus package rather than butchering it up and down the block to give a fraction of that as a one time payment. And before people scream socialism, this was a libertarian. If you’re gonna pass something like that, at least have it benefit the people.

That is just one example but their are many more.

It’s been apparent for at least 10-12 years that the parties are virtually identical and that we live in a Corporatocracy - in fact I did a thesis on this in college — then got into politics for a period of time.

Also, the media is doing absolutely no favors in “uniting” the country nor is it doing anything to help “reduce fear and panic.” If they reported *actually relevant* topics Trump never would’ve won the election to begin with, which is a whole new topic.

But I’ll say this... I would’ve trusted pretty much any random party outside of Republicans and Democrats to handle the LEGISLATION piece better as they aren’t beholden to corporations. (Funny how corporations donate massively to both parties, huh?)

The actual health piece I think is impossible given the size of our country and the amount of people.
