100,000 deaths.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Still bad, but looking better over the last few days.

Hopefully it's not due to a lack of reporting numbers over the long weekend.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Yes.

If we have an out of control epidemic, we should be warry.

Fortunately all we are dealing with the Corona. The only issue there is the panic created by our fearless know-nothings.

Not just panic, problem are also accurate counts for infected and for causes of deaths.

My first neighbor works at the hospital and she sees problems with tests and results they're getting. So I wrote down few terms and notes, and try to make sense from what she said and what I found out. Well, she's not top specialist, but she works with them, and to me she damn right looks like she knows what she's talking about. Since I am in Michigan, I hope I won't be arrested for socializing with neighbors.

To test for corona virus, they're using something called RT-PCR, you can read about it here. What's wrong with the test is that is not looking for corona virus directly, but for presence of certain strain of RNA, and since it's believed that corona virus is an RNA virus, there is certain RNA wrapped in proteins. Where it goes from there... they are assuming that if that RNA can be detected, than patient must have corona virus. It's assumption, not certainty, and that's fallacy, because there is nothing to prove that RNA that show positive test did not come from some other source, like bacteria, fungi, or patient's other cells.

That's why there is big question about legitimacy of confirmed cases of corona virus. While it's true that RNA could've come from corona virus, it could have come from tons of other sources unrelated to corona virus. Now, how to actually prove someone has corona virus for real, what would be proper procedure? Well, that something called purification... way I understood it is, they need to find exact RNA protein structure of corona virus, purify it, then extract RNA from the structure that match original RNA found in Wuhan, and only if those are the match, than person has corona virus.

Since they're not doing that, there is no actual proof of the corona virus itself, just proof of presence of RNA that could come from various/different sources. Regardless of suspect nature of their declared number of "confirmed" cases, the possibility of confirming the corona virus is not achievable with current testing kits.

The fact that people are having to be buried in mass graves in New York City do to the bodies stacking up outside of hospitals is all the proof you need about how dangerous and devastating this pandemic is. When was the last time New York City was forced to use mass graves to bury people do to the sudden surge of deaths?

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Sweden is doing well.

Showing a steady decline in cases and deaths.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

U.K. is doing much better than they were.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Total world wide deaths.....360,000.

Over the course of 100 days, that is about a 2% increase globally over normal.

That CERTAINLY qualifies it as the horror of the century.

Now...take the worst countries out and you'd hardly notice it.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

What's going on with Mexico ?

Total world wide deaths.....360,000.

Over the course of 100 days, that is about a 2% increase globally over normal.

That CERTAINLY qualifies it as the horror of the century.

Now...take the worst countries out and you'd hardly notice it.

That's worldwide deaths with a global lockdown in place. Without a global lockdown, deaths could be in the millions.

An average of 40,000 Americans die per year from season flu.

Already 105,000 Americans are dead from covid-19 in just three months despite the lockdowns and efforts to prevent that number from rising.

How many Americans will die from covid-19 over the next three months?

Meanwhile, in Taiwan, only 7 people have died. Only 442 have become infected. There are only 14 active cases of coronavirus left in Taiwan.

In Taiwan on most days, no one dies from covid-19 or gets sick from covid-19.
In the United States recently, an average of 1,000 people die every day from covid-19 and another 20,000 get sick from it.

Yeah, those dicks in New York have really fucked over their constitutents.

Move to Taiwan.

You'll like it there...I did.

How many Americans ?

That does not worry me.

How many Northeasterners ?

That would worry me.

 

[Justin Richardson]

Almost 5,000 more people have recovered from the coronavirus. 38,099 Michigan residents are listed as recovered as of May 29.

One week ago, the number of recoveries stood at 33,168. On Saturday, officials also reported an additional 263 new cases of the coronavirus. This brings the total number of confirmed cases to 56,884.

Another 57 people are dead, making the death toll 5,463. 37 of those deaths were identified during a tri-weekly vital records review.

 

[Ame®icano]

Of course, we didn't know numbers were cooked...

Gun shot victims counted as Washington coronavirus deaths

Washington state counts gun shot victims as coronavirus related deaths, state public health officials admit.

This method of counting coronavirus deaths, which could pad the numbers, has incredible implications. It doesn’t just artificially increase the death rate. It is used by Governor Jay Inslee to keep the economy shut down longer than may be necessary.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Does anyone disagree that the U.S. is slowing down.

Cases are decreasing.

Deaths are decreasing.

Not seeing much that says opening up has been a huge issue.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Another 22,000 new cases. Not sure why we're still seeing that much, but at least the active number of cases is finally starting to decrease.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Northeast, and Ill/Mi/Oh provided most of the corpses today.

Sucks...but overall the numbers are lower.

Sweden's deaths continue a slow descent.

Brazil has gone fucking nuts.

Nope, its science fact. The evidence, results from the 1918 pandemic on cities that locked down and cities that did not. Also, what epidemiologist have found out about how a virus can spread since then, and how lockdowns and other restrictions can save lives.

Taiwan is the gold standard in defeating this virus. A population of 24 million people and only 443 positive cases of the virus, and 7 deaths. Taiwan has had less illness and death than any U.S. state whether it be California with its 40 million population or Wyoming with its tiny 580,000 population.

Taiwan knows the science of protecting its population from this virus better than any country in the world. They know that travel restrictions, lockdowns, and isolation work to combat and defeat the virus, save lives, and protect the population, and the economy of the country.

Yeah, those dicks in New York have really fucked over their constitutents.

The United States had over 20,000 new infections and over 1,000 deaths from covid-19 on June 3, 2020. New York State account for LESS THAN 5% of those new infections and LESS THAN 8% of those new deaths for June 3, 2020.

Sorry, but your going to have to find a new state to beat up on rather than New York State. Over 90% of new infections and deaths are happening OUTSIDE of New York State in the United States currently.

The United States should be doing better than TAIWAN when it comes to protecting its population. The United States is the wealthiest country on the planet and invest more money in health care and National Security than any other country in the world. We have a right to demand that the United States do a better job to protect its citizens than any other country in the world, including Taiwan.

Instead, the United States is currently the 11th most infected country with coronavirus on the planet on a per capita basis:

Top 15 most covid-19 infected countries per capita:

01. Qatar
02. San Marino
03. Vatican City
04. Andorra
05. Bahrain
06. Kuwait
07. Luxembourg
08. Singapore
09. Spain
10. Chile
11. United States
12. Peru
13. Iceland
14. Ireland
15. Belgium

Only two European Union countries are doing worse than the United States when it comes to per capita covid-19 infections, Spain and Luxembourg.

Top 15 countries in per capita deaths from covid-19:

01. San Marino
02. Belgium
03. Andorra
04. United Kingdom
05. Spain
06. Italy
07. Sweden
08. France
09. Netherlands
10. Ireland
11. United States
12. Switzerland
13. Canada
14. Ecuador
15. Luxembourg

Only seven European Union countries are doing worse than the United States it comes to per capita deaths from covid-19.

In both list, the United States is the 11th worst in the world when it comes to per capita covid-19 infections and per capita deaths from covid-19.

The United States should not be the 11th worst in the world when it comes to fighting this pandemic, it should be the BEST in the world when it comes to fighting this pandemic. The United States is at the opposite end on the chart that it should be and this is thanks largely to the failures of the Trump administration over the past 3 years as well as since January in protecting the U.S. population from pandemics.
