Is that something you thought people didn't know? 

 

Both the EU and Canada are banning US travelers--Canada did it sooner and will likely keep it up. I was just relaying a personal anecdote about that. My parents are beside themselves--it's where they live most of the time and they are barred. First time ever. 

Well, it could be a lot worse for your parents. They could be sick. Which I hope and pray that doesn't happen. Just a little perspective my man, not a death wish on your family. 

I hope your folks stay safe.

That’s exactly why I’ll continue to focus on fatalities. As I’ve repeatedly stated, you’re either dead or not. I remain encouraged by the significant reduction in deaths. Whether the experts were right or wrong, I think we all can agree we’d like to see less people die from this virus.

 

 

...there is NO political in minutia......unexplained cases have more horsepower, fanning the fear flames.....I have 210 employees in a NYS described "essential business", with 180 electricians in the field....we have taken every precaution and have complied with mandated as well as recommended compliance steps, spending $17,500+ to date......RESULT through yesterday: not ONE Covid-19 case.....there is and will always be a segment of society as in "defiant, non-compliant, macho/bravado, won't get me"   intelligent set..........

***** every single right wing conservative in america

 

because you can't follow a simple mask order it has resulted in hundreds of deaths per state

 

because you have turned a global pandemic virus into a political statement (like you do with everything) states reopened too quickly and are paying the consequences

FOX news needs to be disbanded and taken down after these last few months for spreading false information and bull#### propaganda that has indirectly led to american lives lost because they refuse to acknowledge the severity of this virus

Hey! Leave me out of it. I like having a thread named after me. It’s way better than a statue. We now know those darn statues have a really short shelf life! My thread will last into eternity. ?

 

Does that mean when he pulls down the thread, it will give him brain damage?

GOOD NEWS: UPMC doctor sees too much focus on rising COVID-19 cases, too little on declining severity and hospitalizations.

 

 

Related: Hospital patients four times less likely to die now than they were in April, Oxford study finds.

 

 

 

Related: Heather Mac Donald: Where Are The Deaths? “In May, Georgia was the main target of expert contempt for its allegedly premature reopening. Since then, the media have gone silent, due to the state’s truly discouraging downward daily death toll from a high of 119 on April 7, long before the reopenings, to 10 on June 24. . . . There are no crises in hospital capacity anywhere in the country. Nursing homes, meat-packing plants, and prisons remain the main sources of new infections.”

 

 

 

Also: Getting Realistic About The Coronavirus Death Rate.

Nearly all the studies find between 10 and 100 times the number of total infections as reported infections, with the average somewhere around 20 to 25 times.

In other words, while the CDC reports 2.34 million Americans have been infected with the coronavirus, the actual number of infected and recovered people may be closer to 50 million. (CDC Director Robert Redfield told journalists Thursday that the number of cases may be 10 times higher than the earlier 2.34 million.)

Thus, the death rate, which would be 5.2 percent based on that 2.34 million figure, is actually more like one-20th as high — or 0.26 percent.

 

 

It can be awful in some people,

 

but overall it’s turning out to be nowhere near as bad as we feared a few months ago.

 

And that’s good!
