Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[volbeast33]

I don’t think the counting is as inaccurate as you suggest.

You compare it to a CDC flu deaths number that is roughly FIVE TIMES HIGHER than the number of laboratory-confirmed each year, but say you can’t get an accurate picture of COVID deaths because some states are counting probables (roughly 5000 of over 42000 deaths) and if you die while you have CV you are a confirmed death (so natural causes might be 1000 of the 42,000). These counting issues that some have seized on aren’t nearly the issue they want to think they are.

I don’t know that they are inflated but I sit in several covid meetings a week due to my job..... they have counted car wrecks as covid related deaths.... hospice patients as covid related deaths and many other questionable cases. There is a lot of financial gain from making someone a covid case..... hospitals get increased funding due to the amount of covid cases they have and skilled nursing facilities are allowed to Bill Medicare if the person is counted as a covid case.

Curry is the cure, bro.

+1 for the curry mention!

Bicyclist files police complaint against CNN's Chris Cuomo following intense spat

What a wuss. Cuomo said mean things.

Extra points for anyone that knows what chutney is.

What a wuss. Cuomo said mean things.

To be fair, one of them was on their cycle.

In my county of 130k+ there are only 2 active cases and both are in the hospital. Should the 129,998 people that aren't infected stay home?

Only if they arent the scourge of the planet.

What a wuss. Cuomo said mean things.

That seems to be one of the left's chief complaints about Trump.

:sigh:

You don't get it. I'm questioning whether all of those deaths are really COVID caused. I'm not questioning if all of the people died.

Do you understand the distinction?

Yes I get it. I knew what you were saying.

But the stat in that tweet was percentage that deaths are above normal deaths. And NYC was an outlier (vs countries which is the problem). I’m just saying deaths in NYC are 300% higher than normal for a reason unless they are manufacturing deaths.

There’s so much political bullsh!t going on with this , it’s mind blowing .

I doubt almost everything I hear regarding COVID-19: the sniping from state governors, the death counts, the case counts, the models, the “experts”, Fauci, Birx, Trump...

I think we’re dealing with a serious virus that is on par with a bad flu season. The rest is all noise fueled by mass panic.

I should've said, what a weezer. I don't think that is the chief complaint about Trump. That would be he's a lying, blowhard, idiotic, childish, narcissistic, corrupt, jackass.

I'm sorry if some people think this woman is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but this woman is the devil reincarnated. The best that should happen to her is to be impeached. She is obviously not acting in the best interest of her constituents.

Right on, that's what should happen when you abuse the powers of your office.

I can't be baited that easily, do better than that my friend.

Guess I touched a nerve. Your feels are awful sensitive.

I don’t know how tightly controlled that is but in general in an epidemic they are just following the typical CDC guidelines. Those would be the types of death that end up in that number I estimated to be less than 1000 of the 42,000 (just based on average death rates - higher if the only people being tested are at higher risk of natural death).

What a wuss. Cuomo said mean things.

Kind of calls into question his whole quarantine story, wouldn't you say?

CNN's Chris Cuomo gets all clear, announces he's no longer quarantined

I don't support the idea of a healthy/relatively young man sequestering himself from the world for two weeks because he has a cold, mind you, but rather just find the two situations to be incongruous.

 

[Mick]

I can't recall anyone calling trump a wuss as a general complaint, can you?. You didn't touch a nerve, You're just running your partisan mouth spewing nonsense.

Do you rub your vagina when you post?

It’s a CDC related guideline to count a car wreck as a covid related death.... it might be but I’m guessing it is higher than 1,000.... I’m just not sure how much higher.

Does he have the antibodies and test show negative for the coronavirus now?

You just go ahead and question it.

Again with the unneeded vitriol. Yet I didn't touch a nerve. Stay classy.

 

[VolStrom]

Is anyone planning on getting tested?

Just being a needlessly hateful wuss, but I've come to expect that from you.

 

[Hunerwadel]

Baited? Absolutely not. I honestly and totally agree with what you posted. There are remedies for elected officials who abuse their power. I think they apply here.

 

[Velo Vol]

Is anyone planning on getting tested?

Not unless I feel ill.
