Interesting. That never really clicked in my head until you said that. Makes sense.

It’s amazing to me that people who would never give him the time of day on here, and quite honestly would usually attack the **** out of him, are posting this. Not you RAS. It’s the third time I have seen on here.

Have you ever heard one of his "sermons"? Farrakhan is the ultimate racist/bigot.

I had a sinus operation a few years to clean out a chronic sinus infection and fix a broken nose ( deviate septum) , I still can’t stand anything shoved up into my sinuses like that so it’s always made me cringe and wonder if I have to wear a mask to keep Covid from spreading to others on / in my saliva .. why can’t you just swab my throat and inner jaws . Made sense to me and we don’t have to worry about somebody I don’t know pissing me off by shoving a pool cue up my nose . Lol

Curious as to why you got tested. We were exposed 15 days ago (found out about 12 days ago) and our trusted Doc told us not to get tested unless we have symptoms (which we have not had).

If we know we were exposed my work requires it. It’s no cost to me other than my time. I’m supposed to work from home at least until the test comes back. If positive I have a whole contact tracing protocol I need to go through.

Some on this website will want you to know that Clay Travis is a left wing liberal troll out to get conservatives so obviously those numbers are fake news.

So let's assume 209 was yesterday's number. With all the new cases, does the death rate continue to drop or do you think it'll increase?

You've been lied to, folks.

Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients, Henry Ford Health System Study Shows
Hydroxychloroquine lowers COVID-19 death rate, Henry Ford Health study finds

Independent study shows that Trump was right, the CDC, WHO, etc were wrong.

It aids in recovery, drastically lowers death rates, and shows no tendency to heart-related issues.

What would be the motive for telling people not to take the drug that would save them? What would be the motive to bar access to the drug that would pretty much declaw this "pandemic"? Combine that with... What would be the motive of Democrat mayors to force Covid+ patients into nursing homes with the population of highest susceptibility to death from the disease?

If it wasn't a manufactured crisis, it definitely looks like one they didn't want to go to waste.

They are going to bleed this dry and people will allow it.

Broadway Star Nick Cordero Dies at 41 After Over 90 Days in Hospital from Coronavirus Complications

For anyone who hasn't followed, COVID-19 really did a number on this guy. He finally succumbed to the virus today after a long battle that included having a leg amputated. Had he survived, he would still have needed a double lung transplant. It's weird how this virus can do so little to some, and so much to others.

RIP Nick Cordero

Which is why we need to do what we can to limit the spread. A lot of people in this board think "I don't care if I get it I'll be fine in a few days" well, that may not actually be the case and IF you DO get it you'll most likely spread it to someone and that might not be the case for them either.

You leave your house you are susceptible. Don't want to chance it, stay home. Still, no guarentee you won't come into contact with or get sick with it. All else is utter BS of the highest order.

There is absolutely damn near zilch you can do to stop this. You can wear all the gear you want, limit contact, do your social distancing, and still, it means nada.

From what I'm hearing we are at the tail end of the virulence and all the media is doing is trying to catapult us back to April.
It is not now or ever going to be like it was in March through May. Viruses follow a predictable pattern. Where does everyone think they come up with models from. Hint: previous viral patterns.
The virus is pretty much done what it's going to do. Looking for a job I've noticed there are travel jobs that no longer offer covid19 pay because in 3 months it's going to be a rarity to see a case. What I'm hearing from my friends in the area is that the hospital population is now all nursing home pts with rare exceptions. That is what I saw myself with my hospital.

Deaths are down and will go down even further now they have discovered what cause of the blood dyscrasia that is leading to these pts clotting so horrendously. They clotted around any line you put in them. They stroked quickly and with permanent damage leading to death. We now know how to better handle it and it'll be a Dr visit with steroids, antivirals and take an aspirin. That's what it will come down to in the future except rare cases.
I think people are commenting on best guesses just like I am. I think this is extremely overplayed right now.

It’s great to hear you are so optimistic about treatment.

How much better do you think we are doing? If 100 people over 75 got it - do you think we are doing as well as only 10 dying instead of 20? Even better?

Unless you want to shutter society forever, asking people with no underlying dangers to try to keep from getting it is counterproductive. What the elderly and frail need is for the rest of us to hold Covid parties. Let us all get it and build immunities while you self-quarantine. Our infection rate will plummet with herd immunity, and it'll eventually be safer for the elderly and frail to come out of quarantine because few of the immune will be catching/carrying it.

ETA: Don't be dumbasses. If your immunity can't kill it, let ours do it for you.

It depends on what is involved with those cases which is what the media never reports on..... where I am at..... the overwhelming majority and close to 100% are asymptomatic or extremely minor symptoms.... if that is the case in most places then no actual true covid deaths will not rise.

Clay Travis is looking at deaths today (which he says are low--I have not personally checked his stats). Today's deaths are the result of the cases that existed after the initial drop, when the number of confirmed cases were low outside of the original hotspots. We know there is a massive surge of cases in Florida, Texas, Arizona and elsewhere. Those who have recently caught the disease won't become death candidates (if at all) until 14-28 days down the road. So it's an apples and oranges comparison. He's complaining about the pessimistic coverage of the uptick in cases by pointing to the fact that current deaths--which were likely the result of infections that started 21-28--are low. Thus my analogy is apt. People are complaining about a coming hurricane and his counterargument is that it's BS because today is sunny.

This surge has been going on for a decent while now. The lack of response of death curves to the rise in cases is more than just lag. It’s a combination of: percent rise in cases is higher than percent rise in infections, treatment is better than it was 2-3 months ago, and for now the age distribution of the infected favors higher survival rates.
