Coronavirus: 5/23

1. @Brad You might ask James Edwards and Sam Dixon, what happens a few months from now, when the US has to be shutdown again because of COVID-19?

   Who is going to look politically stupid then?

2. Less than a month from now, only the Spanish Flu, the Civil War and WW2 will have killed more Americans. By the beginning of August, the death toll is going to be around 190,000. By the beginning of next spring, the death toll will probably have surpassed the Spanish Flu.

   • Yes, but most of those victims were just starting into the prime of life.
     Most of the current cv19 victims are already standing on deaths doorstep.

     • Don’t forget the average lifespan in 1860 was 45 years old, if that.

3. CDC papers out, just put the cumulative death rate at 0.027%. Obviously that is the mean median, but those under 49 have a far far far lower chance of dying. This is no reason for all the hysteria, and the governments reaction from today on will be revealing. There is no excuse as to an unknown virus to keep any restrictions in place, other than for purposes of NWO Global Warming Style carbon lockdowns.

   • A lot of people are whistling past the graveyard, as the old saying goes.

     If you recover from COVID-19 after spending 3 weeks in the hospital, is that a positive outcome? How long were you out of the workforce before and after COVID-19? There are lots of key factors not being publicized or talked about.

4. I’d like to see a more complete breakdown of the death tolls. How many of these victims were 78 or 80 with serious heart problems and 6 months from death without cv19 ?

   This simple scalar of deaths isn’t sufficient to give a true picture of the pathogens harm.

   If an 82 dies a year early, that is sad, but not nearly as tragic a 32 dying. We need at least one more dimension to these numbers.

   • Something like “probable years lost”.
     Say avg lifespan is 80, if a 78 yr old dies, 2 yrs are lost. If a 30 yr old dies, thats 50 probable yrs lost.

     Like most victims of the spanish flu were young an healthy. That would make the loses of 1918 far worse than the current pathogen, taking most of its victims at a very advanced age.

     • Agreed

     • I assume the USA data will have lower age of deaths than elsewhere because of the widespread obesity here.

5. So far, in 2 months, we have a benchmark of 55000 deaths per month.

   On Brazil, 2 min. A typical victim 40 ?
   Thats what a mixed society yields, lots of suffering.
   I think everything south of the US border is going to be a disaster, wi a few exceptions, like Paraguay and Uruguay.
