More proof the virus panic is bullshit

[Lazaran]

Yeah, the images coming out of Italy and elsewhere had nothing to do with the level of concern, and the public and government reaction. I'm sure the outbreaks in Washington, California, and New York eased those concerns and prompted those in charge to minimize the threat.

Ooo-Kaaaay

 

[FescueFan]

What they never ask:

Why is Obama admired and Trump disliked?

There are reasons for everything.

Not everyone lives in a (D) fan club bubble like you.

Trump is not universally disliked, nor is Obama universally liked.

There are reasons for everything.

Your side is the one constantly complaining about all the Trump haters. AJ includes it in nearly every post. But you’re professional victims, so...

 

[SpeareChucker]

No one is saying admired other than in the sense of support/opposition.

From said link

H1N1 had a mortality rate of .02 percent. According to the CDC’s latest estimate, the coronavirus has an overall mortality rate of .4 percent for symptomatic cases (or .26 percent if you include asymptomatic cases) meaning that the coronavirus is 13-20 times more deadly than H1N1.

The coronavirus is also much more infectious than H1N1. According to a study from Emerging Infectious Diseases, COVID-19 has a median R0 value (a mathematical term for how contagious a disease is) of 5.7, while H1N1 had an R0 value between 1.4 and 1.6. So, COVID-19 is nearly four times more infectious and 13-20 times more deadly than H1N1.

If H1N1 were as infectious as the coronavirus and had the same mortality rate as the coronavirus, there would have been 231 million infections (that’s 70 percent of the country) and 600,704 deaths.

Sure, in the middle of nowhere Texas, Mississippi or Alabama where the lines are not long. Which is what she said. That won’t work when people are waiting hours upon hours to vote.

And of course no one has to wait in line for an order at Starbucks.

So you are blaming the press for reporting the success of Obama on H1N1, and the press for reporting the failure of Trump on everything....wow...guess maybe Spicer shouldn't have started out by claiming Trump had the largest inauguration crowd in history eh?

Perhaps if Trump didn't start labelling the press "the enemy of the people" like Stalin did?

Isn't there a line in the bible about reaping what you sow or something???

If that was a success, then what is going on now
is a step above the state of success by the numbers.

If you think Obama's handling of H1N1 was a failure, and Trump's handling of COVID-19 is a success....shit I can't even finish that sentence....

How many people died in the US from the other pandemic?

Did I say that, or was I talking about the reporting of the press?



No, and then yes.

Look it up or Google it.

Look it up or Google it.

Or instead of running you could answer a direct question.

 

[SpeareChucker]

You know, you've been doing this same schtick for, what, a decade now?

You never even attempt to add anything to any conversation,
all you do is snipe and nitpick.

At this point it's the proverbial flagellation of a deceased equine.

It's an old act, a tired act and a boring act...




... and predictably, you're implying victory.

You still haven't answered a very simple question.....because you know the answer.

 

[FescueFan]

AJ cares, he brought it up, you care because you rushed in to defend him.

Point is other than for reference of scale/severity of this pandemic it's irrelevant how many died in other pandemics.

Which if you do just helps support my case that Covid is weak sauce.

Out of curiosity how many people have to die for it to exceed "not many"?

At least 1% of the population....then I suppose you could say things are getting a little serious.

 

[oggbashan]

It looks as if the US will pass the UK's rate of deaths per 100,000 people soon.

That is sad because you had time to learn from our mistakes.

Then it's really odd that you and AJ are taking about them.

Learn how?

What is it you think we should do?

 

[FescueFan]

Then it's really odd that you and AJ are taking about them.

Why? It's the main argument that supports my assertion that COVID was weak as fuck and the (D)'s reaction is waaaaaaaaaaaay over hyped.

The Pandemic is So Much Better in The Hamptons

Dr. Asma Rashid goes to a lot of exclusive parties in New York these days -- but for a different reason. Hosts pay her to administer rapid coronavirus tests to guests at social events in the Hamptons, where the wealthy fled to seek refuge from the pandemic.

The tests have become a common feature before guests can be allowed into parties at the affluent seaside communities -- and cost up to $500 per person, says Rashid, who runs a members-only medical concierge service.

 

[oggbashan]

Maybe.



Get back to us when it happens...

My prediction (and I hope I am wrong) is sometime in September. The UK death toll is down to single figures a day but the infection rate is rising slowly.

 

[SpeareChucker]

"Our Fixed Income CIO Sonal Desai unveils the first insights from the new Franklin Templeton–Gallup research project on the behavioral response to the COVID-19 pandemic and implications for the recovery: we find a gross misperception of COVID-19 risk, driven by partisanship and misinformation, and a willingness to pay a significant 'safety premium' that could affect future inflation."

But yet our press is reporting a different story
almost as if they had an agenda...


Hmmmmm.....

 

[SpeareChucker]

My prediction (and I hope I am wrong) is sometime in September. The UK death toll is down to single figures a day but the infection rate is rising slowly.

I doubt it.
Our medical community is up to speed
and the people are informed and, if anything, over-tested.

The trend lines are going down and I anticipate that to continue,
especially with our economic-destructive and over-hyped bunker mentality.


And I still defy the idea that this manufactured hysteria (in the US) has nothing to do with Trump.
The story of the Pandemic would be written in a completely different way for a Democrat Administration...

I'll even go so far as to say that if Senator Biden is elevated to the Executive, then even before his inauguration,
evidence will be found of his efficaciousness in stemming the tide of the Pandemic, because of Hope and Change!

Can any US politician of whatever party, recognize truth?

Or can tackle any problem without a political spin?
