How the administration is handling the coronavirus pandemic.....
- Thread starter hal9000
- Start date
Infection and daily deaths have surged in recent weeks.
We're at 1500-2000 deaths per day.
Anyone tired of winning yet?

"On August 26, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report showing that in 94 percent of the roughly 180,000 deaths that have been attributed to COVID-19, "on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death."
As the CDC report notes, "For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned."
In other words, 94 percent of Americans who have died from coronavirus from the week ending February 1, 2020 to the week ending August 22, 2020 had, on average, almost three comorbidities that played a role in their death.
According to CDC's report, the leading comorbidities among these deaths were respiratory diseases, circulatory diseases, sepsis, malignant neoplasms, diabetes, obesity and Alzheimer's disease, respectively."
So well under 20,000 actual covid deaths, of the type that we are supposed to be living in fear of.
No way the difference could be a matter of accounting, could it? (It is)
A huge percent of the US pop reports to have some kind of pre existing condition. That 94% doesn’t mean much as far as your argument goes until you can define that it doesn’t correlate with the large number of individuals reporting to have medical issues.
Pull up those bootstraps, well all get through this.
Pull up those bootstraps, well all get through this.
Over 50% of cancer deaths are caused by something other than the cancer itself- mainly infection, pneumonia etc. are you suggesting that cancer isn’t really all that dangerous Either?
The fly in that argument's ointment is that the vast majority of those people with all those comorbidities would still be alive today, were it not for Covid.
Today, yes.
As long as we cure covid, their lives have all been saved.
If we do not cure covid, then no administration or personal decions saved, or cost, any lives do to the virus.
A person dies in August instead of the following January. Their life was at no point "saved".
It is retarded to say x amount of lives have been cost or saved by anything to this pont. That can only be said after the virus is gone. If it doesn't go...
I do not think we will cure or be able to vaccinate against this virus effectively, quickly.
People who are at risk of dying from it need to make life changes for the foreseeable future in order to protect themselves.
The rest of us don't.
Who belongs in what category is clear from the data, unreliable and incomplete as it is.
