- that is awesome! with little hype about ventilators and packed icus seeing increases with little impact to major med issues********
- this is good news on multiple fronts. with increased testing showing its far more wide spread, and not lethal at all. almost like a common cold...********
- hitting the bottle again i seeutopian
- ...cos the common cold kills healthy people in their 20's and 30's or can leave them with MS type symptoms...microkorg
- deathboy they had 7 months to prepare and the ICUs are filling up you dense, stupid fuck.monospaced
- deathboy's correct. The mortality rate continues to drop, especially after hospitals were no longer incented to mischaracterize covid deaths.MondoMorphic
- No deathboy and you are both wrong. https://covid19.who.… feel free to check.ben_
- https://ibb.co/DkPwN… or in case you don't know how to work a ui, which wouldn't be inconceivable.ben_
- Thanks for the daily dose of stupid deathboy and mondo. Y'all should start a podcast.garbage
- Wait only sour e is ben which is odd click bait site********
- And I think it's related to who which mentioned they expect at least 10% global sat. U do the math********
- And micro the 20-30 deaths are a nothin burger. Any one dying in that range are special cases********
- Talking like .01 percent if that. And lil clarification on why. Absolute unknown for the medics********

https://www.bloomber…dmay - “Weird clickbait site”? It’s the W.H.O. And it shows your mortality rates are not going down.ben_
- @ben "perform how can you mouse a c lick becaus it always in my bottom u if you take the fatalaties in mind u woudl knw too" - dbgarbage
- Well my original I wasn't talking of mortality rates just the hype train of lack of resources while numbers increase********
- But if u want to discuss mortality rate how about cdc 6% of all deaths covid only. Or breakdowns of actual lethalness in demographics. Because as we know more********
- We see far less risk vs avg. And in 85+ greater. But as expected . A major problem with numbers shown is fallacy of averages.********
- Can u walk across a river with an average depth of 5 feet. Average data is great but it's about application. And for media it's cancer********
- But avg. More cases less deaths =less mortality rate.********
- My point about the averages was directed to mondope. But you’re also being inaccurate saying it’s somehow “not lethal at all”. Anyhow...ben_
- I never said its not lethal. I just stated by evidence its lethalness is almost non existent for most people. older its equal to a hip break or pneumonia********
- but you did... "showing its far more wide spread, and not lethal at all." - your second note.ben_
- Even if that's your interpretation of your source, it's what you said.ben_
- Ben context. Not lethal at all in context o bubonic or spanish********
- It current lethality for groups is less than regular disease. So why hystreic measures?********
- that is awesome! with little hype about ventilators and packed icus seeing increases with little impact to major med issues

"It is possible, however, that the epidemic that we are living will be the actualization of the global civil war that, according to the most attentive political theorists, has taken the place of traditional world wars. All nations and all peoples are now in an enduring war with themselves, because the invisible and elusive enemy with which they are struggling is within us."

The Trump White House has installed two political operatives at the nation’s top public health agency to try to control the information it releases about the coronavirus pandemic as the administration seeks to paint a positive outlook, sometimes at odds with the scientific evidence.
The two appointees assigned to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Atlanta headquarters in June have no public health background. They have instead been tasked with keeping an eye on Dr. Robert Redfield, the agency director, as well as scientists
- One of these appointees was a talent booker at The Cartoon Network.Ramanisky2

Trump's Secret Service agents required to wear masks, sources say, but often don't
While President Donald Trump tosses masks to supporters at his rallies, Secret Service agents protecting him at those campaign events are often not wearing them.
Secret Service policy is that agents are required to wear masks, sources tell ABC News, but agents on the president's detail don't always follow it.
An ABC News review of video and photographs of the president's Secret Service detail from before his COVID-19 diagnosis shows agents closest to the president frequently not wearing masks, going against Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
Since the start of the pandemic, agents on Trump's detail accompanying him to various rallies and events both inside and outside were almost always seen not wearing masks, apparently in deference to a president who routinely criticized those wearing them.

There are STILL the equivalent of two 9/11s per week in the US.
How many weeks has it been? Also new cases are trending up again. It’s getting worse.
Thanks Trump
- Where did you see this? 2,977 died in 9/11, Covid deaths for last week were 4,392 it's reduced every week since August...kingsteven
- meanwhile two 9/11's per week die from obesity in the US every week. half a 9/11 from cancer. 100 million 9/11's of stars in the universe. Thanks Trump!kingsteven
- Measuring things in 9/11's is a bizarre one.PhanLo
- You may as well use the destruction of the first Death Star as a metric for measuring events. Then maybe the second for lesser disasters?face_melter
- Or the number of Taylor Swift Spotify track plays. Like, current US deaths is 0.004 Taylor Swiftsface_melter
- Obesity? T swift? Huh?********
- there hasn't been 5954 deaths in a week in 3 weeks, it's insane to refer to that as two 9/11's, deaths have been decreasing (by ~800 per week) for 10 weeks...kingsteven
- How many people commit suicide every week compared to covid or 9/11? More people die from suicide than any war conflict or terrorism.Ianbolton
- so your post is not only incorrect, your attempt to sensationalise and politicise a virus just makes you fucking clown shoeskingsteven
- 54k die in the US every week, the vast majority are 65+ and have an underlying condition... sound familiar? there is no co-morbidity for jet liners crashing inkingsteven
- to buildings. if you believe 9/11 was a tragedy (what you are implying by using fatalities as a stat) you should find the very idea of a comparison offensivekingsteven
- The sensationalist headline is likely meant to pull in the “true american patriots”. The vitriol spewed over incorrect numbers is saddening.imbecile
- this post was +3 when i first replied. i find nb's posts maddening and i think he does it without thinking, straight from the US liberal populist playbook...kingsteven
- topping it all off with "Thanks Trump" parodying the familiarity of "Thanks Obama" in a style that evokes irony without a hint of actual irony...kingsteven
- There are about 45k suicides in the US each year. So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.********
- More <65's died from suicide in the US last year than have from Covid - this year its going to be much worse (they don't report suicide stats for > 6 months)kingsteven
- From what I can see the number of deaths hasn't really gone down that much. It's been in the range of 900-1100 per day since the summer.yuekit
- And on Friday...70k new cases in one day. So while nb may have messed up the number of 9/11s I'm not sure his overall point is entirely wrong.yuekit
- https://www.cdc.gov/…kingsteven
- ^ i mean, it's all there - in addition there were also a couple of states that adjusted for previous deaths this week which knocked the count up slightly.kingsteven
- OK I'm confused now...you said 4,392, that site says 810. And if you look the Worldometers site you get a different number, much higher.yuekit
- these are figures when the death occurred, not reported. so they are provisional numbers for the last week but you are right i was taking the number for allkingsteven
- covid+influenza, so the number for last week around half what i mentioned (and yet significantly still reduce by ~800 p/w)kingsteven
- still, i'm not sure if it'll quite reach 700 by the election (or < 100 p/d as i mentioned to you before)kingsteven
- If you go by CDC numbers around 3k people died in the past two weeks, but according to Worldometers it's over 10k.yuekit
- Unless I calculated that wrong which is possible haha...but it also seems possible there is a significant lag in official reporting of deaths with CDC.yuekit
- total deaths on there is 204,613 so i'd say that may be the case. it was just because nb used 'week' as a stat i assumed he must be referring to the official...kingsteven
- either way, there has been a reduction in deaths week to week but as i've mentioned before states are so autonomous it's better to look at them individuallykingsteven
- I love how ppl think of trump like a god. He is all that can giveth or taketh away. Maybe you shouldn't think that way and be a lil more objective********
- @db - labelling a deadly virus on a Democratic hoax is moving in a mysterious way thoughfadein11
- Labelling a semi man made influenza and targeting a single person as absolute ruler of it and fishing outcomes in real time********
- It's a bad joke********

Vaccine by December?

- I'll wait til version 2.0
Just in case...
https://i.imgur.com/…PhanLo - Aye, the thought that "the cure will be worse than the disease" has been going around my head today, this and paranoid conspiracies in mind.Nairn
- What's the cheapest most efficient way to solve pretty much all of the world's looming problems? Population reduction, starting with older generations.Nairn
- Not gradual population limitation, sterilisation,. one child polices, etc - that takes a generation or so to work out. No, a cull.Nairn
- And what better way than to get people to sign up and queue gleefully for it, rather than the messy and complicating guilt of death camps?Nairn
- 2021 - We beat teh Coronoids!
2022 - Oh shit 'what an accident', the vaccine's actually just a latent trigger for a delayed fatal condition.Nairn - Thing is, we actually want to cull First Worlders First, as Third World countries still need populations to bring the up to contemporary development levelsNairn
- So, bye-bye Boomers. Give it a bit of time and the post millennial generation will come to realise you weren't their enemy.Nairn
- I'll wait til version 2.0

My mistake. I saw 900 deaths on Friday and extrapolated.
So here's a nice, list of countries that can be sorted by Covid-19 deaths per capita.
As of Oct 15, we're the TENTH WORST on that list. For the richest country around that also seems to love bragging about how our healthcare system is unfair but responsible for all the world's innovations.... 10th from the bottom is a fucking tragedy.
- the US is top 30 in obesity and income inequality - fairly old population too. it was always predicted to come out comparatively badly.kingsteven
- It's called Capitalism!utopian
- lol @ editorial correction. You actually weren't that far off. The correct number, in case anyone was wondering, is 1.7 9-11s.yuekit

I was selected for an Imperial College-led antibody test so should be getting a finger-prick blood test in the post in the next couple of weeks. Given my partner had a similar thing, I suspect I'll come out negative, but.. well, might be interesting to see.
Also, should put me at the head of the queue for when the vaccine/population culling trojan horse comes out later this year.

Eric Trump said the virus will magically disappear one day after the election.

Infectious Disease Expert: The 'Darkest Of The Entire Pandemic' Has Yet To Come
Nina Golgowski·Breaking News Reporter, HuffPost
Sun, October 18, 2020, 1:50 PM EDT·3 mins readMichael Osterholm, a renowned infectious disease expert, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that “the next six to 12 weeks are going to be the darkest of the entire pandemic” and expressed concern that the U.S. lacks a leading voice to guide the public.
“Vaccines will not become available in any meaningful way until early to [the] third quarter of next year. And even then, about half of the U.S. population at this point is skeptical of even taking the vaccine,” said Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Osterholm pointed to the daily tally of 70,000 new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Friday, the highest level since July. Between now and the holidays, the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. will likely “blow right through that,” he said.

We pass 40 million cases, but that's like 400 million real cases...
