Coronavirus (non political)

[BaltimoreSkins]

No offense taken SS84, mental health is something we should be more openly talking about in the U.S. than we do. I also might have painted too extreme of a picture we go to parks, bike, hike and tube down the local river but having other people over or having our kids/family go to their house is not something she is comfortable with. As is such I feel they are not getting the socializing they need.

I guess States are just completely ignoring the "phasing guidlelines" set out by the CDC and WH. I get it, we are all fatigued. I feel bad for places like Georgia bc they shut down when it wasnt hitting them hard in their area yet .. and now they have shut down fatigue and are reopening ... right when its their turn to get the spike.

It was supposed to be 14 days of downward trajectory before States could move to phase 1, 2 weeks = phase 2, 3 weeks = phase 3.

Georgia, Arizona, Arkansas and others are having their highest spikes in numbers but are just ignoring the "guidelines".

------------------------------

I read an article that thinks we wont see decreases until 70% of the population gets it.

Guess thats where we are headed.

Good thing its not deadlier.

------------

Trying to find plexiglass sneeze guards for my office so all employees can come to work and we dont have to stagger .. but they are all out until early August.

Hopefully I can find some clear plastic to make my own I guess. I should have foreseen this a few months ago.

--------------------

Baltimore Skin - i think each family should come up with their own plan ... mine, we arent having friends over, we are not going to other peoples houses. We stick to mostly immediate family. Sounds a lot like yours. We are starting to ease up a bit.

Kids not socializing is a concern for me as well. She would normally be outside shooting water guns and digging holes with the neighborhood kids. Going to ballet, going to BJJ, pool parties etc.

its tough.

it sucks.

Everything i have read and researched on my own also says the same. The lockdowns despite what people thought or wanted, was never designed to last until we got a vaccine. We are slowly getting to the point like MTK mentioned a while back, protect the elderly and most at risk people, and allow everyone else to start getting back to the swing of things.

I originally believed that we would stay shut down completely until we got a vaccine. I also felt that schools and church, etc., would never be able to come back until we did. At least in VA school will never look the same again, but i have had to walk back on a lot of my predictions, thank God.

The pandemic ends three ways: Herd Immunity, which is what we are slowly marching towards, Vaccine (probably still 6 months off), and also when people begin to not fear it as badly and go back to their normal routines, also something we are heading towards.

I'm sure you are aware, but you know The Onion is a satire website, right? Just putting that out there because i see so many people on FB post their articles and then get in an uproar believing that it is real news.

Yeah that's why I said you just have to laugh. Satire = funny.

“Wall Street Journal reporting nursing and care facilities account for at least 40% of US virus deaths. True toll on the most vulnerable may never be none.“

Crazy...

Also

Covid testing continues to expand; and the overall national positivity rate remains low.


Also, if you are only doing cumulative cases and not rolling 7 day...you are doing it wayyyy wrong

Funny when solid snake said the onion is satire I was thinking everyone knows that by now, apparently not.

Seems you're not to bright on the sarcasm it seems.

On average in the US, the flu's death rate is .1%, while the coronavirus' death rate is 5.2%.

Both viruses are most deadly for the elderly. The flu kills .83% of infected people above age 65, whereas the coronavirus's death rate is 10.4% for infected people from age 65 to 74, 20.8% for the 75-84 group, and 30.1% for people over 85.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavir...222400931.html

10.4% death rate for people aged 65-74. Those people are still out and about, in the workforce etc.

Fuck, I would not be going outside if I was in that age group or higher.

[Chico23231]

So between the ages of 5-49 it’s what like half a percent of 1% or .5 of those infected? Which is more deadlier than the flu, but the avg death age is relatively high in most states.

I'm not sure how many people have died from Covid-19. But I can bet that it is nowhere near close to being as much as the news media claims. My great uncle caught it and he's 87 years old and he recovered. My cousin had it and didn't even know she was sick. This virus is a joke. I believe most of the people who are dying are dying from other illnesses, not Covid-19.

I'm not sure <insert relevant topic>. But I can bet <outlandish theory that can't be proved>. <Anecdote extrapolated to prove outlandish theory>. <Second anecdote ignoring that bit about some victims being asymptomatic>. <Pure nonsense>. <Finishes with 2nd outlandish theory that can't be proved>.

Why don't you take your medical degree and go do autopsies on everyone who's died so far, do a report on it and get it peer reviewed and published in a medical journal. Then when it comes back solid come back here and rub that shit in my face. Until then I invite you to go tell all of the families who have had loved ones die of COVID or partially from COVID that their doctors and the entire medical industry is wrong because your great uncle caught it at 87 years old and recovered.
