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

True, being better physical specimens should shield them to a degree but from what I understand, the virus can adversely affect the lungs even in the healthiest individuals who survive the virus. So we can't know for sure would/could happen.

I guess the only way to find out for sure is to play.

But I do know that I'm in dire need of a Baseball/Football fix.

 

Time travel is a tricky thing...

 

Not true, btw.

 

I want to know when the mortality rate is going to fall, way down, like some have been predicting

* when we had given about 3 million tests and the tests/million was around 11,000, the death rate was about 5.2%

* when we had given about 5 million tests and the tests/million was around 16,000, the death rate was about 5.4%

* when we had given about 7 million tests and the tests/million rose over 20,00, the death rate was about 5.8%

now, we're at nearly 10 million tests, and the tests/million is over 29,000 and the mortality rate is 5.9%. The worldwide mortality rate is 6.75%. I keep reading, and hearing, that the rate will end up under 1%. So then, with the US nearing the 10 million test plateau and the world at around 40-50 million tests, I'd expect those death rate numbers to be falling instead of increasing...

unless of course the testing rate is failing because it's well behind the curve....contrary to all the gas floating out of the white house

 

This is one of many reasons I don't do the twitter thing.

 

Georgia still under-reporting.

 

Thanks for sharing that...I saw the video live and posted about what an absolute dick he was to those reporters but couldn't fink a link at the time.

 

Agreed.

 

Have you read or heard anything about hospitals (who are bleeding funds) falsely recording deaths for extra money?

 

Wasn't asking, you.

Well he gave you the response that is appropriate.

private msg is the way around this...it's a public forum

 

I love how Steve Schmidt a Republican strategist just absolutely torches Trump at any chance he can get
