Interesting how the media is really pushing the hysterical “Corona case counts are skyrocketing”. You would think we are living in a zombie apocalypse or as if this was a virus like the one in The Stand. I do feel sorry for the families of those who died but I honestly feel if a democrat was in office we would’ve barely heard about Covid. I am not an Obama fan but I never blamed him when people died of Ebola, but then again the media wasn’t hysterical about it.
I honestly feel that if Trump would’ve been full of panic then the media wouldve totally downplayed this.
Yep, lots of cases, next to no deaths, and they overblow what deaths do happen. I don't believe for a second that the ONE OR TWO deaths so pushed really had no underlying conditions or complicating factors at all. Even if so, it was one or two .. OUT OF 8 FUCKING BILLION for fuck's sake.
We were sold people dropping dead in the streets and convulsing? Oh, turns out that's what happens when you ignore environmental laws and just let factories throw their pollution everywhere.
The spread just underscores the need for better sanitation overall, because that's the same sort of spread you get with colds and flus, and everyone wonders why everyone gets sick when someone shows up for work/school sick, but taking some miracle medication advertised more or less this way: "Take this, they'll never know you're sick! So you can breathe on all of 'em!"
The death rate in my state now stands at 2.4% and is FALLING (from 3.5% earlier this summer when several nursing homes got swarmed) in spite of several weeks of large infection increases.
If the trend continues it'll be well within the statistical error rate of the normal seasonal flu death rate and this doesn't even include the errors in the testing or those who got it and were never tested to begin with.
