Can we have less text please.

A lot of people are online during these isolation times and we need to save on bandwith. Try to get your point across in 300 characters or less. Thank you.

Good point. I will try to keep this in mind. Being concise has not been my strong suit, (85 characters).

You write some good stuff Prime. But no one has an attention span past 3 sentences anymore- a lesson I learned from writing on the net, haha.

That is sad. Twitter is partially to blame.

I've heard this said before.  If this is really happening on a large scale [and not just rarely, or by accident], then that is definitely problematic.

Another thing to consider:

The COVID deaths we are seeing are deaths from a virus that currently has no vaccine, whereas the deaths from the flu are deaths that would otherwise be much higher if no vaccine existed.  So comparing the death counts of each is not an apples to apples comparison.

That being said, the COVID deaths are also at their current number with large scale lock downs in place, and perhaps the COVID deaths would be significantly higher without said measures.  We won't be able to adequately measure this until more time passes and we have more data to analyze.  I still think this virus is being blown out of proportion.

As far as I can tell, those dying under 70 of this virus generally have preexisting conditions.  I'm not yet convinced that COVID is a major risk for the younger segment of the population, or people who are healthy, with strong immune systems, who are not obese, who do not smoke, etc.

But seriously [back to the original point] - if people who die WITH COVID are all being classified as dying FROM COVID, that is extremely disingenuous, and needs to be accounted for in future analyses of the true mortality rate of this virus.

That reminds me of the saying "All men will die with prostate cancer, but not all men die from prostate cancer".

Interesting saying if not strictly accurate. Some of us lucky guys whose prostate cancer is detected early on and who elect to have a radical prostatectomy become prostate cancer free. So unless I grow a replacement prostate, I will die sans prostate cancer.

Let the good times roll.  Open up those beaches and packed, shoulder to shoulder house parties.  1st World amenities, 3rd World mindset.  ::)



Confirmed coronavirus cases in U.S. double to 1 million in less than 3 weeks

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States surpassed 1 million on Tuesday, more than doubling in less than three weeks, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The U.S., home to about 4% of the global population, has reported about one-third of the world’s more than 3 million known coronavirus infections. The first known cases of the virus in China began appearing in December. It took nearly four months for the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. to hit 500,000 on April 10.

Of the more than 213,000 people who have died of COVID-19 worldwide, roughly 25% ― or about 57,000 deaths ― have occurred in the United States.

That's because their are several different flus around and the vaccine doesn't cover them all.

This shouldn't be the case with covid, but let's just say I won't be in any rush to get a covid vaccine and I lean more towards pro vaccine normally.

Heard something about over 40 covid mutations already.

thats because they have tested people, if you don't mass test (UK) then you have no idea how many people have got or had the virus
UK may have 10 million people infected with no symptoms, until people get tested its all speculation

Biggest Hoax in History

I agree.

Trump needs to stop listening to Fauci.

He is going to go down if he doesn't.

Enough.

Fauci is just a front man, a government shill. It was never about the virus and Trump knows it.


At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.



https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/apr/28/coronavirus-hype-biggest-political-hoax-in-history/

And this: “When I’m writing up my death report I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is. We’re being pressured in-house to add COVID to the diagnostic list when we think it has nothing to do with the actual cause of death. The actual cause of death was not COVID, but it’s being reported as one of the diseases processes. … COVID didn’t kill them, 25 years of tobacco use killed.”

THIS is what it’s about:



https://www.bloombergquint.com/global-economics/boj-ramps-up-stimulus-with-pledge-for-unlimited-bond-buying


The central bank promised to buy as many government bonds as needed and more than doubled its buying of corporate debt, as Governor Haruhiko Kuroda tried to show the BOJ was pulling its weight in national efforts to support struggling factory owners, shopkeepers and consumers.

Instead, because the dumb baby couldn't read his briefing books we have scenes like this:







In trump world

60,000                              <          4


"I take no responsibility"    <      " Benghazi - oh my god , I'm outraged! "


GOP voters aren't very smart.

So the coronavirus was Trump's fault.

And you wonder why you have no credibility here and people just mock you?

Covid19 is shit. Laughable shit.

America's response is a disgrace. Cowards telling other cowards to hide under their bed. 

I'm 58 years old, weigh 245 pounds and have zero fear of that lame virus. This life never came with a guarantee. I hold nobody responsible for my well being. 

Cowards!

Hawaii, tragically, reported another death from the coronavirus. The now-deceased person had been hospitalized since March 1st and was 65 years old with a number of preexisting conditions. This marks the total death rate to ten for the island since all this began. Again, that's a grand total of ten deaths. The island averages about 10 deaths per day in traffic fatalities alone. Again, 10 deaths a day from driving, and not 10 deaths in two months from the virus. In addition, of all that have contracted the disease, less than 1/10th of one percent of the population, more than 80% have recovered.

Governor Ige has now extended the lockdown for another month to June 1st in which "we will reevaluate". Meanwhile, a long time local drive-in since the early 1950s, Likelike Drive-in (pronounced: Lee-kay Lee-kay, after a Hawaiian princess) and considered by locals as a historic mainstay has been forced to shut it's doors forever. A charming family business that's been around for 70 years. A business that one family built and maintained for many decades and help raise and educate four generations
now gone forever. A family legacy destroyed.

This is just one of many such stories caused by government officials who are still getting regular and generous paychecks still being paid for by the taxpayers who are no longer getting paid. But it's the one death by a 65-year-old man who was in poor health to begin with that gets front-page news.

But Hawaii will keep electing Left-wing Democrats and keep the Socialist in power.

The Left/Right divide is about 50/50. I really wish we could find a way to separate the country and have each side go there own way and live according to the political divide wishing each other well with no hard feelings.

One side can give their money to the government and let the government decide how they should live, and the other have more freedom but be responsible for their actions and the consequences whether good or bad and not demand others bail them out. A world where the streets are littered with homeless bums living off food stamps and welfare paid for by others, crapping and pissing on the streets, and harassing and demanding their QP with cheese, or a world where such behaviors merits an on the spot ass-kicking.

10 or so deaths in 2 months Lockdown- Multiple deaths every day from traffic accidents & Nothing
Something seriously wrong going on - Stop The Lockdown Nonsense across the globe it’s utterly Ridiculous - We’re all going to Die some young some old some seemingly fit & well & some not so
That’s Life Let’s Get On with it & Enjoy everyday we can.

Yes that would be great - only one lot of the 50% would want to either move over or the other 50% to Help them out - when they’ve given all their money away the streets are Full of Crap & Piss & are Totally unsafe - Murderers, Rapists, Paedophiles Free to Roam around As they Have to be Understood & Listened to.... Similar to many of The Islamic indoctrination of Peace once they’ve totally Fcuked up their own country they’re off to find a Better place to Live & Gradually Fcuk that up also if they’re not rigidly kept in check.

I’d be interested in a further breakdown of the statistics. We know men succumb to this more than women and that’s because men on average die younger and are more prone to the primary causes of mortality:  heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc.  I bet the average age woman corona fatality is over 80 and not a single woman under 50 without a pre-existing condition has died.

Is this the Dem's solution to the homelessness problems they helped to exasperate?
