They can't stop being hypocrites. It is like a disease.

Agreed, there. The US differences on deaths per million aren't much different than these other countries. The UK was ahead of the US for almost the entire time and they are starting to close the gap again. Imagine how many lives the US could have saved with an affordable comprehensive UHC?I don't want to think about it. It makes me buttmad.
Agreed, 10000%. I didn't see my mother for 3 months because she's immuno-compromised. It was tough. My mom is a super nice person (the opposite of me) and makes delicious food. But I cared about her enough to not be selfish. She got sad and depressed a bit but she understood. Since I was heavily exposed to the virus in a house of people who all tested positive in May, and I tested negative on the antibody test in the first week of June, we assumed I was okay.
Depends. 75 and older, usually. But the data tells me 55 and older is probably a more conservative approach especially if your 55 and older person (anyone you have in mind like an uncle or friend) has risk factors.
Cold viruses have been killing our elderly for ages. Coronaviruses have also been around for centuries, killing humans. It's just that this one is more deadly than previous ones.
The coronavirus comes no where close to the death figures of the various flus. And, as I pointed out, cold viruses kill an estimated 2 million children each year. There is still a risk that the coronavirus could mutate and be deadly or deadlier than SARS-CoV-2. They are similar in that they can cause ARIs that lead to death or severe illness.
It's all deadly stuff. This is why I think the safety controls we put in place for the elderly should never go away and should have been in place for decades.
Sorry to hear about your mom, Man. That sucks.
I'm not saying viruses like this haven't been around before. I accept that. What I don't accept is what I view as piss-poor leadership when it was most needed. Nor do I like the constant comparisons to the flu, because if the flu was this preventable, I'd be pissed at that too.
Originally posted by SurturI don't think a nuanced correction is white knighting Surt. Herd Immunity has never happened without vaccines, the collateral will just continue to be too high for a very long time with serious hotspot outbreaks for a variety of reasons not limited to hotspot mutation and variation in immune systems between populations. Too many other variables, which is why the simplistic models being propagated by Libertarians for political reasons fly in the face of "Real Science".
BREAKING NEWS: Governor Cuomo has responded to this news by declaring he intends to talk to local funeral homes to get discounts for those who died in NY nursing homes.
Originally posted by -Pr-Tell me about it, I also suffered that last week, the second test I had in a country where figures are non-existant in the most populated city in Africa, I was pretty worried. Fortunately, the Staph chest (third world problem) is clearing with antibiotics. Glad your brother is good mate.
So last week, my brother got really sick really quick, and we had to organise a covid test for him. Obviously the likelihood is that he doesn't have it, but it isn't fun waiting for the results.
Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!I think I predicted 300,000 by christmas to see if exponential growth is a thing.
Oh, was that it, you might be spot on, I was thinking 290 by the end of the year.
I should really post the whole figures instead of using 'xxx' just so it can be mathematically calculated. Unfortunately, this doesn't take lockdowns into consideration, but as with all stats, they're just approximations. So far, the net death toll per 24 hours has gotten larger every 24 hours... shame I haven't been posting the exact figures.
I'll do that.

That's nuts, mate.
What were the results? Could still be another VRI like the flu. I sure hope this flue season isn't terrible. We are seeing an uptick in new cases in the colder states for the coronavirus. If we have a bad flu season and a shitty year 2 for the coronavirus, that would be harsh.
Here's hoping your brother recoveries quickly.
