How many lives lost due to losing jobs/having businesses taken away? What are the unemployment numbers up to now?Seems like a lot of words to whitewash the fact that we have lost 100,000 people with no end in sight.
In addition: over 96% of the deaths in Italy were in people who had at least one major underlying health issue. Things like heart disease, diabetes, etc
will link the article when not mobile
I will keep saying it: BY FAR the leading cause of Covid deaths are that an infected person has underlying health issues. Data is very clear.
I'm not sure why this fact is comforting to you. Do you expect to never have underlying health issues?

exactly. And how many Americans in the general population have underlying health issues? MAJOR problem in this country is our health.
.
I think this is a testiment on how open and transparent we are as a society. If you think the numbers coming out of Russia, China and Africa are accurate, I have a 2005 Yukon XL with 300k miles on it I'd like to offer you for $50k.exactly. And how many Americans in the general population have underlying health issues? MAJOR problem in this country is our health.
Here’s a concerning statistic. The US has 28% of the global deaths from Covid19, despite only having 4% of the global population.
76% of Americans have at least one of the underlying conditions that they are referring to. You people need to quit making out like there's only a few people or a select group that have these underlying conditions
Yes, let’s don’t look at the fact that they are elderly and have underlying conditions. That absolutely matters.
You don’t shut down a state or country over that.
From the CDC:
Population of the US (331,002,651)
Population of US tested for COVID -19 (15,766,114)
Population of US testing positive for COVID - 19 (1,897,701)
Population of US testing positive for COVID - 19 deceased (102,000) (average age 70+)
So if my math is correct, only .04% of our population has actually been tested (and I'm fairly certain only people with symptoms are getting the majority of the tests).
Out of the .04% that have been tested, .12% have tested positive.
Out of the .12% that have tested positive, .05% have died from the virus, and out of those... 99.9% have had underlying health issues
Seems to me that out of the .04% of our population that "feels sick" only a small percent have this virus, and that out of those a very small percent succumb to this virus and out of those almost every single individual has some major underlying health issue.
Shutting down for .0003% deaths of our population is unfathomable.
Also from the CDC:
(Per Year in the US)
Number of deaths: 2,813,503
Death rate: 863.8 deaths per 100,000 population
Life expectancy: 78.6 years
Infant Mortality rate: 5.79 deaths per 1,000 live births
Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 647,457
Cancer: 599,108
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404
Diabetes: 83,564
Influenza and Pneumonia: 55,672
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 50,633
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173
I'm not making light of the deaths or the serious nature of the illness, but these numbers do not reflect the narrative we are being told.
Here is one article with some quotes from experts feeling it wont go away:
Great stuff. Thanks. Got a link?
Heck, the numbers are skewed now and just about any death is Covid related now. We had a friend who died in a car accident recently and was pronounced as Covid-19 related death.Yes, let’s don’t look at the fact that they are elderly and have underlying conditions. That absolutely matters.

Do they have what the seasonal flu death rate is? Forever we heard that COVID was way more deadly than flu, but it looks like it may actually be less deadly..26%
https://www.westernjournal.com/cdcs...ovid-death-rate-13-times-lower-initial-claim/
article based on stats from CDC
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html
also .26% is based on a 35% asymptomatic metric. This link is to a Times article on a study that proposes that the metric is closer to 80%.

synopsis: this is serious and we all need to do simple things and endure some minor inconveniences, BUT this isn’t the global killer that it was originally thought to be.

How many lives lost due to losing jobs/having businesses taken away?
Maybe there is a world where our federal government acted quickly enough in February and we didn't have to shut down the economy, but also were able to stop a majority of the deaths. Just spit balling here.How many lives lost due to losing jobs/having businesses taken away? What are the unemployment numbers up to now?
Tommy, I normally agree with you on most things, but to be honest this is an ignorant post. At 52 years old I have high blood pressure and diabetes. I am generally in good shape, not obese, and live a mostly healthy lifestyle. My genetics are crap. Do you really think all illness is because of bad decisions? And if you do you cannot show empathy for someone that made/makes mistakes? Sorry if I broke your healthcare system.hard to feel sorry for unhealthy people that have made bad decisions
they are reason our health care system is broken to begin with
Yes these preexisting conditions are often what many people every day tell me they don't have. Yet are taking a medication to treat said problem. Often from a lack of understanding of their own health which is a fallacy from physicians and patients.
If you take one tiny little pill for your blood pressure, this counts as a comorbid condition, even if your blood pressure is pristine while taking that medicine. If your BMI is over 30, that counts. If you don't know what BMI is, Google a BMI calculator.
I don't say this to be the sky is falling, just for you to understand what risk group you may or may not be on. That's included in all this data that everyone is trying to make heads or tails of
Time out Tommy.hard to feel sorry for unhealthy people that have made bad decisions

Enlighten me how a cancer patient has made bad decisions?
