It is a dishonest attempt to elevate the hysteria over this virus.
Indeed.
It is a dishonest attempt to elevate the hysteria over this virus.
The current seasonal flu death toll stands at 23,000.
2227 dead. We are soon to exceed 911 numbers. Does this feel like an emergency yet, Trumptards?
Your money is no good here, Trumpling. Someone with intense bias who has nothing but a bet? Nice thread.
When 911 attack happened, can we not count the cancer deaths afterwards? Did you complain that we did? I bet not.
Take your exotic action to a mafia street bookie.
We seldom see such desperation to justify an incorrect position.
I don't think 'Death' is the Main Problem. Pointing at the 'Death Numbers' is a distraction. The Main Problem is how many people are sick with this AT THE SAME TIME.
This thing is so contagious that huge parts of the Community are falling ill at the same time and bringing the Economy to a halt.
Darth. What is your normal job ... and what are you doing NOW?
Most "flu" deaths aren't due to the flu but pneumonia. I suspect the same with COVID-19. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3827586/
Watching the rising daily body count reminds me of the Vietnam years. Does it really matter if not all the deaths reported on a particular day in Vietnam were not combat-related but due to a traffic or weapons accident? A helicopter crash on takeoff?
The people most vulnerable to COVID-19 are those who are elderly and/or already have health issues. If COVID-19 further weakens them and they end up dying of their previous ailment, that would be "COVID-related" because they wouldn't have died if they hadn't contracted COVID-19.
It's mincing words and playing politics with dead Americans to quibble about "COVID-related". Obviously Trump is worried about the election and that is the only reason to quibble about this.
The logic eats itself. The biggest indicators of fatality here is some other underlying condition and advanced age, both.
If you get COVID and then get a pneumonia and sepsis and die it should be a COVID death.
Agreed and that's why the CDC counts them that way. Trump supporters are simply playing politics with the body count due to the election.
If so- that has absolutely nothing to do with the rising death toll caused by Covid-19. Neither do automobile deaths or firearms fatalities. You have made a fool of yourself in trying to downplay the catastrophe of the virus.
Keep digging though- you're deserving.
But the worst outbreaks correlate with high population density.
Nearly perfectly. There are a considerable number of counties in many states that don’t have a single confirmed case.
Rahm Emanuel: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
CDC estimate of global H1N1 pandemic deaths: 284,000
59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,428 died
Does this mean you now accept this as a Problem? Or still think it's a Joke?
No, it doesn't. He's delusional and, most likely, "adjudicated mentally defective"*, so please go easy on him.
When the body count goes over 12,500, he'll never apologize, never admit error and simply run from his previous claims. That's how delusional people work.

Hello Darth,
Well, we're quite a bit short of that. But the numbers are going up fast. When do you expect them to level off? What if Fauci's wild guess is closer to the truth and the numbers go over 100K? Kinda blows the seasonal flu argument away.
If lol.
I don’t like to speculate and make predictions.
Hello Darth,
But you seem to be speculating and predicting that this world wide pandemic is not so bad, and will somehow reverse it's course.
I don't think it is going out on much of a limb to recognize the trend and extrapolate where it is headed, unless something changes.
All one has to do is look at how fast the numbers are climbing and project that forward.
That is not as much of a prediction as it is simple math.
For that trajectory to fail to materialize going forward, something has to change it.
Would you like to speculate or make a prediction of what that something is?
Because if there isn't some magic bullet, Fauci is probably being very realistic.
What is going to turn this around?
The social distancing that you think is overkill?
