Indeed. This thread is certainly taking on a whiff of “concern trollism”.
Remember, it’s all about deaths not positive test results. We are averaging over 40K positives per day now but the average for deaths per day is less than 500.
The ONLY people that need to be protected are the particularly vulnerable to dying from the disease which are obviously the elderly and those with significant preexisting conditions.
Per the CDC:
“A total of 31,934 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations were reported by sites between March 1, 2020 and June 20, 2020”
Read it twice, that is NOTHING! Over a third of a year less than 32,000 people were admitted to the hospital for Covid-19 related issues.
Btw, that’s approximately 5 admissions per US hospital over a 4 month period.... TOTAL!
I’m not worried and have never been worried this whole over reaction. What worries me only is other people worrying too much about it, so the sooner we can get it behind us, the better. The Democrats are going to play every death for what its worth against Trump.
“””Remember, it’s all about deaths not positive test results. We are averaging over 40K positives per day now but the average for deaths per day is less than 500.”””
Well stated.
Keep in mind that the recent increase in positive tests results is the only thing the media has to complain about at this point.
Before new cases the media was complaining that there was not enough testing.
Before testing the media was complaining that there were not enough ventilators.
Before ventilators the media was complaining that there was not enough PPE.
Before PPE the media was complaining that Trump had not shutdown early enough.
Before PPE the media was complaining that Trump had shut off travel from Europe to the USA.
Before travel from Europe the media was complaining that Trump had shut off travel from China to the USA.
Before travel from China the media was complaining that Trump must be impeached. And on and on and on.
The trend is obvious. And, oh yes, the emerging complaint from the media is that Trump does not wear a mask.
I’m convinced the Chinese and the Wuhan Institute can never be used against us again.
I’m also convinced that these lowlifes would hurl another virus at us if they could.
Unbeknownst to them, their ultimate accomplishment will be self-infection.
The death rate is a lagging indicator. People with fatal cases of Covid-19 die from 2 to 6 weeks after infection. So we won't see increased deaths from the recent surge in cases for another week or so.
There were actually 1,284 daily deaths in the US as of 7:25 this morning, compared to 338 over the previous 24 hour period. That's a jump of nearly 4 fold.
