You mean, quarantine the thread?

No deaths are "acceptable." 60 million deaths per year will occur, "acceptable" or not. This is the difference between what we want and what will be. Perhaps you never learned this.
This is gibberish. There are no good data on rates of infection with COVID-19. Iceland is the best, and as has been pointed out earlier, the cruise ship data was flawed. If "In a population of 100 people, if 50% are symptomatic that would mean 50 people are symptomatic." then 50% of people are not "sick." Why waste time typing this meaningless shit?Quote:
2) Are you trying to imply that even if half of the cases are asymptomatic that this is less of concern compared to those other illnesses? Given how unintelligent I am could you provide some numbers regarding rates of infection. In a population of 100 people, if 50% are symptomatic that would mean 50 people are symptomatic. If 100% of people in a population of 25 people with another disease are symptomatic you would have only 25 people infected? Given how smart you are, don't you think you are missing some essential components to your argument?
What was the number of deaths in NYC on March 31 of 2019? How has that differed from deaths on March 31 for the previous 20 years? I asked you nicely to leave, and you won't leave.
It's not trivial to obtain historical data at such a granular level, but I was at least partly successful:
- In the 7 days ending March 30, 2020, the number of COVID-19-related deaths in NYC was 811.
- In the 7 days ending April 2, 2016, the number of deaths from all causes in NYC was 1088, including 56 from influenza.
So, even though we're still nowhere near the peak of the outbreak in NYC, COVID-19 is already killing almost as many people there per week as would normally die in total from all causes, And nearly 15x as many as would normally die from influenza in the same period.

Note that that particular week in 2016 was by no means an outlier:

Bit by bit this monumental farce is being exposed:
Covid19 yet to impact Europe’s overall mortality - Year-to-date statistics show excess mortality lower than previous years
There is an article on ZH about the huge numbers of deaths in Italy being due to an unusually mild winter. The cold weather kills off many of the old and weak, but this time it didn't. The virus this affected a much greater number, in a much shorter time scale, resulting in their health service being swamped.
Nope. Simply contextualizing the ridiculousness of the media sensationalizing 13 deaths as “apocalyptic”.Quote:
So you are comparing the deaths from Covid at a SINGLE hospital in NYC to every single death that occurs inside of the city per day?
And how would I know that when the NYT headline clearly states 13 “apocalyptic” deaths?Quote:
You are aware that yesterday alone there were 300 covid related deaths in NYC alone right?
im not into conspiracies. im not a liberal or a conservative. im just an average guy, but i have to say i agree with this. ive yet to meet a single person with corona but almost everyone i know is out of work or at least taken a hit, as well as all the kids that are out of sports and school. if 1 kid in an elementary school class got a cold, would the entire class get sent home??? thats the comparison that comes to mind.
This poster nailed it. Spread the word. It's not easy but it's our duty. Some of your coworkers will look at you like your crazy. Some of your neighbors will not look in your direction after this. Some of your so-called friends will disappear. That's all unimportant. This tragedy is the most significant failure of the media and some of our leadership in modern times.
