OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Nah, we're still rounding the turn.

 

This is terrible logic.

 

Why, because it doesn't fit the narrative you want to see? These extremely rare cases do not impact the statistics at all.

You can't in good faith claim the edge cases make a difference and then attack the above logic.

Especially when we know excess deaths show that we are still not accounting for a large fraction of covid-19 deaths.

So I reject your claim about logic, as you have some obvious deficiencies in it's use.

 

65 and over can get vaccines in Florida, even if you don't live there.

 

My boy Mike in Memphis just died...... took him off the ventilator last night. RIP

 

And my cousin Rudy in LA just got put ON one.....

 

Sorry to hear that man. Hope your cousin recovers.

 

Who knows.....my friend who passed was mid 40s.....my cousin is mid 50s....... so many things play into it it seems.

 

My condolences, @THE HCP. Hoping that your cousin pulls through!

 

Man, the Governor's new vaccination plan just strikes me as incredibly bad. Promoting teachers and other staff over people who are over 65 means taking vaccine out of the arms of the people who are most at risk of severe disease, and who are creating the most demand on hospitals and ICUs, and putting it into the arms of people who are generally younger and at less risk. I get that there is increasing pressure to reopen schools because parents need to get back to work. There's also little doubt that doing on-line education has a lot of bad side effects on kids' ability learn and has psychological impacts. All of that said, the new variant that will no doubt become the dominant strain of the virus because of its easier transmissibility, is said to infect kids far more easily than the original virus. That means that if you put kids in school, they are going to get the virus from each other, just like they do every other cold and flu bug. While there doesn't seem to be any greater illness among the young with the new variant, they are still going to take it home with them and spread it to parents and other relatives. I get that there are no great answers right now when vaccine is in short supply, but it seems to me that this is just going to make things worse and cost the lives of a lot of people who didn't need to die.

New Covid variant first found in UK could become dominant strain in U.S. by March, CDC says

KEY POINTS

• A more contagious strain of the coronavirus first found in the United Kingdom late last year could become the dominant strain in the United States by March, according to a new CDC study.
• Researchers warned increased spread could add more pressure on the nation's hospitals and require greater public health measures to tamp down the virus.
• The fast spread of the new variants might require more people to get vaccinated to achieve so-called herd immunity, the researchers said

 

Pretty sure YouTube will snuff this vid.
