“are females more psycho with CV paranoia than males?”
I hadn’t noticed that one gender is more paranoid than the other. Seems that there are a LOT of male snowflakes on FR when it comes to the WuFlu — that is, if you can judge based on screen name which may or may not reflect true gender.
In life, in general among my friends and family, it seems that females are less freaked out by medical issues. It’s almost as if they always knew that that extra X chromosome gave more protection when it comes to immunity.
Ain’t happening. It’s what the FearBros live for, to infect everyone else with their sickness.
It is aerosolized (depending how you define it) and Air Conditioning Appears To Spread Coronavirus—But Opening Windows Could Stop It Studies Sugges. But authorities may have watched The Last Man on Earth (1964 film). Morgan [Vincent Price] lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague [carried by the wind]...Morgan hypothesizes that he is immune to the bacteria because he was bitten by an infected vampire bat when he was stationed in Panama, which introduced a diluted form of the plague into his blood. (wikipedia)
Also what the good doctor fails to tell you is that governments and hospitals get mo’ money if they attribute a death to COVID than to what really killed people.
None of the numbers can be trusted, IMO.
Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines: 🤯
1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.
2. Masks are useless, but maybe you have to wear one, it can save you, it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well.
3. Stores are closed, except those that are open.
4. You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick.
5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster.
6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help.
7. Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it's important to GO OUT.
8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.
9. The virus has no effect on children except those it affects.
10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there…
11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms. Oh, my..
12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it's better not to go out, well, but no…
13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you get looked at very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don't go to parks or walk. But don’t sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old).
14. You can't go to retirement homes, but you have to take care of the elderly and bring food and medication.
15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy.
16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Pizza too?
17. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview starts with "I don't want to trigger panic, but…"
18. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but you can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver.
19. You can walk around with a friend but not with your family if they don't live under the same roof.
20. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance.
21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.
22. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.
23. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of…
24. We have no treatment, except that there may be one that apparently is not dangerous unless you take too much (which is the case with all medications).
25. We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity, so when it circulates… but we must no longer be locked up for that?

The CDC (past/present) is among us...
IIRC, you have been corrected on this before. That fatality rate is simply spurious since it apparently overall only those who are sick and deemed worthy to be tested are tested , thus these are most likely to die. In contrast, extensive random testing shows the infection % to be much higher in relation to population and deaths, while the rate of flu infections as a % of population is higher than for Covid.
I have the CDC morality rates for the flu per state for 2018 (13 states above 17 per 100,000 total population) and for Covid here (only one state above 17 per 100,000 people, as of April 9), and according to estimates, between 61,000 to 80,000 Americans died during the 2017-2018 season, the latter being the highest death toll in 40 years. During that 2017-2018 season, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was at or above the epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks. Nationally, mortality attributed to P&I exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, peaking at 10.8% during the week ending January 20, 2018, (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm) with older Americans dying at a rate of 169 Americans a day, or seven people per hour. (https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2018/older-flu-deaths-rising.html
It is estimated that about 80% of those infected with Covid-19 experience a mild case [WHO said the like] – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment. Meanwhile a study in Iceland reports that as of April 11, the country has “tested 10% of its population for coronavirus - a figure far higher than anywhere else in the world -” [and with fatality rate of about 0.4%] and that “about half of its citizenry at any given time who have coronavirus but don't know it, will be asymptomatic” (show no symptoms), which is “a large percentage many experts studying the virus have suspected, but have had little firm data to corroborate.”
Another report is that those who are most vulnerable to death from Covid-19 are the aged with certain other heath conditions, thus 80 percent of US coronavirus deaths are people 65 and older. Then again, America murders over 2,000 of the most vulnerable souls a day (2017: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states).
“this is 66 times more deadly.”
That’s so funny. Drop your TV remote and slowly step away from CNN.
“I’d prefer not to have it spreading uncontrolled through the population.”
Truth is, when the forced unconstitutional government imprisonment of Americans is lifted, the WuFlu definitely WILL spread through the population. There’s no way around that. It’s the price we pay for liberty. Besides, as we will have had to be hot-house tomatoes for months, our immunity will be even less than it was before. It WILL be worse before it gets better.
“until 1 of the 15 people who contracts Covid-19 and dies is someone they know, maybe even a family member.”
Because none of us knows anyone who has ever died from anything except COVID in our lifetime. People die. I personally have attended funerals pre-WuFlu. (Shocking, I know.) Heart attacks. Old age. Pneumonia. Diabetes. Accidents.
The death rate is NOT 6.66%..........(1 in 15)........where did you get that number?
Actual death rate may be less than .7% because we have no idea how many have had the virus with little or no effect. New antibody tests will help us know that figure, but it will take tens of thousands of them and that will be a while.
Also, Covid-19 death numbers are being fudged on the high side by those who have a political reason for wanting higher numbers and actual deaths from the virus are probably a lot less than what we are told, and a lot more from other morbidity factors like obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.
Wow. Whoever put that together has been paying attention. That’s so funny — and so true.
The Emperor truly has no clothes.
We will NEVER know an actual death rate because the testing was so effed up out of the gate. Antibody testing 350 million people is a logistical impossibility and will never happen (though I suspect that eventually we’ll have a big enough sample to prove that the early modeling on this was crap).
Though that will trigger a whole nother debate on just WHEN those people got infected.
We’ve got a scientific debate here that has come to loggerheads with no end on the horizon. And we just can’t keep life in suspended animation while they try to figure it out.
ALL should be reading Ann Barnhardt at barnhardt.biz...she calls cornyvirus “coronacold”.
They are the ones who have to rustle up the toilet paper. They have seen the empty shelves. The horror, the horror.
666.
If it were 66 times more deadly the number of corpses, both here and around the globe, would be much, much higher than it actually is.
...maybe it is 666 times more deadly!!! Excuse me...I have to go die.
Many more babies die from abortion. Yet...many are pushing to keep murdering babies each and every day.
Gov. Murphy was making me physically ill with his constant preening about “saving precious human lives” while every abortion mill in his state is still open.
