So someone is telling you the death rate of Covid is low?
At this rate, by the end of the year about 1% of Americans will have died from Covid-19. And we still have the first half of 2021 to deal with.
Not 1% of people who caught the virus.
No, it's 1% of ALL Americans.
New cases and new deaths are both on the rise. Vaccines will take months to immunize everyone.
Wear a damn mask. Be outside. Stay home. Take care of your family.
- pretty sure those ppl think the rate is low as in 1% of ppl who got it died, not percent of total populationgrafician
- do you think regular Americans really know how many actual people there are in the US? At least 70 mil don't...grafician
- Y'all are wild!
https://www.who.int/…palimpsest - So the Rona kills 1% of the total population regardless if they are infected or not? Between this and the microchips in the vaccine we are definitely fucked.palimpsest

- C O V I D I O T S
E V E R Y W H E R Epalimpsest - nb is saying that by the end of the year it might add to 1% of the total pop. Maybe less, maybe more. But the death rate is not calculated from the whole pop.palimpsest
- I think your maths is off. US pop. is 331milion. Approx 300,000 have died so far which would be 0.1% of the pop. 3million dead would be 1%BaskerviIle
- Who could dv this? Fucking hell.maquito
- @maquito
I'm tired of counting lives as an argument. And just look at where this reasoning led grafician.
Do the right thing.palimpsest - I'm never one to downplay the seriousness of Covid. And the US more than anyone desperately need to get things under control.BaskerviIle
- ... But nb's maths is off by a factor of 10. It's not helpful to spread misinformation, even if the intention is goodBaskerviIle
- Right on, Baskerville. Then we all become Covidiots.palimpsest
- Whoops my bad. Please delete. Oops we can’t.nb
- Flagged my own post as spamnb
- Oh, man... c'mon palimpsest, ffs.maquito
- The message that I perceive from your comments is a distortion of the true message that I think we should perceive. Regardless of the exact calculations..maquito
- What did I do now?palimpsest
- ..this shit KILLS. And it should be taken seriously and without cynicism.maquito
- I'm just saying what I think about certain things. You did nothing. I understand your point, but regardless the precise math, this is not to troll about.maquito
- I do not approve of this message, it it false. As false as the claims of those who aren't taking it seriously. Why use their tactics, why give them ammunition?palimpsest
- And you have seen the consequences of those that do not question the message and distort it further (grafician). I will not stand for this.palimpsest
- I don't have an answer for that. If I take it logically, I must admit you have a point. Nevertheless, Wear a damn mask. Be outside. Stay home.maquito
- If you want me to be the bad guy here I'll take the heat.
Take this seriously, use a serious discourse.palimpsest - No guys don’t worry 300,000 people is nothing. Their lives don’t matter. Basically zero deathsnb
- Is there an acceptable number of deaths? And what is that number?palimpsest
- I'm sorry if I reacted too strongly, but unfortunately in the country where I live, there have been many new infections in recent weeks..maquito
- ..and unfortunately the government has not made clear decisions, and in my opinion useful enough to attend to what is happening.maquito
- The CTI units are about to overflow, and despite everything that gets out of control, I keep finding people who deny what is happening..maquito
- I'm sorry for all this discharge, but it is the reason why I am somewhat sensitive about it, without highlighting the sources or the exact math.maquito
- No nos pongamos a contar habas.
Simplemente hagamos lo correcto.palimpsest - 0.1% of all Americans! 1 in 1000 deadnb
- Ok, palimsest. Estoy más de acuerdo con tus dichos de lo que parece. Gracias por debatir sanamente.maquito
- Under that criteria does gun violence become acceptable?palimpsest
- Well, that’s a whole different issue. https://www.qbn.com/…maquito
- Yes, I don't think we should take the bait and fall into this counting lives argument.
That's all for me folkspalimpsest - Ethically speaking, gun “violence” should never be acceptable. Other thread (?)maquito
- It is rare to argue with someone in a functional way lately at QBN. I accept your way of debating. Thanks.maquito
- I'm back. I know I default to ridicule/satire and that annoys some. It's my way of venting. But it's more pleasant when we take time to listen to each other.palimpsest
- We found out that we agree that the moral thing to do is to prevent deaths when it's in our power do so. Regardless of the numbers. Stay safe everybody.palimpsest
- palimpsest stfu! are you stupid? what message I distorted?!grafician
- oh and also WHO THE FUCK ARE YU? :))grafician
- Your banter is hellish, mate. You try way too hard.face_melter
- also nb was right, AT THIS RATE the number of dead will be much higher, could approach 1% OF POPULATION but not till the end of the year nb!grafician
- here in Ro we approach 20x dead per day! past 500k infected and about 5-6k per day new so yeah, the numbers are higher and will continue to be - not just the USgrafician
- "pretty sure those ppl think the rate is low as in 1% of ppl who got it died, not percent of total population"
- grafician
OK chief.palimpsest - I care for all of you as if you were my children. Please lecture me about how you are right and I am wrong, grafician.
Let's put this tantrum behind us.palimpsest - great, another loco brought in by utopian lol

"the members of the delegation included four experts from the National Institute of Pharmacy and Food Health (OGYÉI), a virologist from the National Center for Public Health, the National Korányi Institute of Pulmonology and doctors from the Fluart vaccine manufacturer"

"Hungarian researchers found a very modern factory in Russia"this brings back childhood memories, when we had to read up loud various articles about the great achievements of the Soviet Union in a Hungarian language and literature class.

When I hear about people going and doing certain things it actually grosses me out. Sharing air these days with just any smuck on the street is like having risky sex with strangers. When it all goes wrong, you die. But, with this you might take grandma out with you when you stop by to make a Christmas plate afterwards.
I'm in Dallaa Texas (more liberal than most places in the state) awaiting the birth of my nephew and quarantining. People in Texas are acting like nothing is going on. Nothing is closed. Mouth breathers are eating indoors, browsing mall isles, and slack jaw bargain bin rummaging like its 2018 out here. it's incredible.
- It’ll sort itself out, only the good will remain hopefully_niko
- I'm so sorry. That must be so frustrating to see and have to navigate, especially coming from a state where people are taking it seriously.monospaced
- I feel this. Currently residing for a couple months in a city where people do not take it seriously (despite it being much worse here than in Brooklyn.)nb
- California is all the way locked down. I drove out to Texas before the stay at home orders, though. but, its a stark contrast.shellie
- I'm actually afraid to go to the grocery store. I haven't yet but really need to. there's a chance no makers will only be wearing chin diapers.shellie
- I started requesting ppl not wearing a mask take the next elevator. At my home building, ppl automatically waited for the next elevator if someone was in it.shellie
- Yes! Elevator etiquette is weird now. You wait in a line but it's hard to ask the people behind you not to get on.nb
- I have stepped on an elevator only to be followed by an unmasked family of six and so I rolled my eyes and stepped offnb
- Welcome to Dallas shellie!MondoMorphic
- ...where personal freedom is still an option. If you're scared of covid, you can stay home, and if you're not, you don't have to.MondoMorphic
- Welcome to Dallas... where you have to be willing to expose yourself to covid if you want to ride an elevator, as the rest of us are too selfish to wear a mask!nb
- or, welcome to Texas... where your neighbor's right to ignore public health warnings outweighs your right to leave the house!nb
- wow, the fear got to you. 1.) grandma is safe, it's the grandma that MIGHT give virus to others; 2.) mortality in your age bracket is close to zero, so...pr2

A New York perspective – from the way things are here I don't think there will be a singular 'moment' of going back to normal. Mask wearing is so ingrained now that it's weird to see folks walking around outside without them and by the time vaccines are rolling out to a place where young and healthy people are getting it, we will be deep into '21.
I think it will be a slow tapering off, and there will be moments where we'll look around and say – "wow, it's nice to see everyone without masks for a change' or 'so nice to see this place busy again' when in a bar or restaurant (at more than 25% capacity).
And thats what sucks about it all. There's no release of the pressure and anxiety. We've just adapted to a shitty norm and then will de-adapt until the TIME cover in 2023 when they say that COVID has finally been defeated.
AND, it's fucking Monday.
- Could be worse.nb
- Yupmonospaced
- and we still take our fucking shoes off at the airport 20 years later, new norm indeedmonospaced
- It's great that the vaccine is rolling out though!DaveO
- Yes, of course. But there has been so much trauma, as you pointed out, that people will wear masks for a long time while this exists.monospaced
- There are many many millions of people who don't trust the vaccine, and also don't trust the science behind masks. So COVID is gonna linger like a motherfuckmonospaced
- I was in a meeting today and forgot to take my mask off when walking outside then i saw one dude not wearing one and realized i should take mine off...pr2
- ...that's how mask NOT wearing is ingrained in my mind.pr2

microkorg,
I was thinking about that last week watching an old M83 concert on YT with my daughter. Their set was so full of energy and happiness, so it got me thinking about the collective jubilation we might experience when the world is normal again. In our lifetime we've never had a shift like that. It's going to be weird but we're going to feel like we won WW2 in some ways, really just meaning that the worst is behind us and we persevered, as long as we acknowledge and grieve the lives lost.
I'm not much for festivals anymore, but I try to picture the energy, the experience, of a huge crowd responding to music - especially music born out of this crisis. I think there will be a huge swell of new music and positivity as a reaction to this pandemic that is going to be really fun to witness. Like a little renaissance period as people can be physically safe around each other, attend events, etc. I know it's not any time soon... hell, I'm willing to bet that festivals don't return to what we're used to until 2022 given that we've got a long way to go even with vaccines in 2021.
But it's cool to have optimism. As a music maker myself, winter time is when I'm most productive, and most of my music has always been darker / moodier / sleepier. There's been something enjoyable about working on small ideas that feel more uplifting and reflective. Whether that's a reaction to this pandemic or not, I'm not totally sure. I'm never going to write a pop song and I'm never going to make music people dance to with a smile on their face. Maybe what I try to make is more meditative and self-reflective background music than anything else, but it's been interesting to have a different perspective on it.
- I can't stand big festivals either, im talking a few hundred or thousand folk illegally on land they dont own having a party and the police just letting them..microkorg

If the virus is confined to history in Summer 2021 then there's going to be some epic parties and festivals.
By means of an apology to the people of the UK for completely f*cking things up by not reacting fast enough to the outbreak in the first place they should temporarily suspend the 'Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994' to allow people to party however they please.
No happier memories than illegal festivals and outdoor parties that last days on end! :)
- I love the optimism. But I don't see the big parties happening for awhile longer.monospaced
- ^ I'm betting on 2022 at the earliest, but see my post above and that's kind of what I think about both your comments.mg33

"Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova said on Friday that the vaccinated should avoid public places and reduce their intake of medicine and alcohol"
- That sounds like self quarantining with more steps...and less alcohol.
1/5 Would not recommend.Akagiyama - Haha_niko

A suspected Covid–19 male patient is lying in bed in the hospital wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and
pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very,
very, closely:
"Are — my — test — results — back?"

Giuliani has repeatedly disregarded public health guidelines, appearing maskless in state capitols, hotel ballrooms and at indoor news conferences in recent weeks. At many of the events, most of the other people in the indoor settings were also not wearing masks.
At some of those events, Giuliani was spotted shaking hands, hugging and taking pictures with people while not wearing a mask.
