The Coronavirus, not the beer

[sturg33]

The health experts assured us this was fine and we should continue to blindly listen to them

How could this happen. Everyone was so responsible.

I'm pretty sure all the heat emanating from the fires would have counteracted the covid diseminnation if you are trying to imply it was the beyond reproach recent spattering of peaceful protesters.

[sturg33]

I'm genuinely wondering why you keep focusing on cases?

Why dont you focus on deaths?

[Runnin]

How could this happen. Everyone was so responsible.

The "experts" have said from day one that they knew very little about this particular virus and advice, treatments and expected outcomes would change. That is STILL the case. It's only people like you (and some govt officials) who like to run ahead and claim to know the future that forced a definite narrative on the public. The truth is, what they know about the virus is still changing as the virus itself is still changing.

[goldfly]

Huh, I wonder what happens when more cases of the virus happens

I wonder if it could finally spread to the vulnerable people who are being very cautious

Nah

That’s silly

Similarly That’s like thinking “it’s not really harmful for kids, they should go to school”

Saying that without thinking they are going home to vulnerable parents and grandparents

I would like to see and hug my mom again someday sooner than later

[Runnin]

The U.S. isn't leading the world in daily deaths anymore. That's good news.

If your stupidity is right there would be more deaths with record cases... instead we are near pandemic lows.

I'm really sorry you're scared, though

[goldfly]

oh, look

back to the normal non verb copy/paste response

[msstate7]

And 28th (DC included) in US in deaths per million. NY still avg'd more deaths per day this week than Florida.

They're not interested in data. They're interested in politics

Deaths lag behind almost a month from new cases. New hospitalizations are up in several states. That typically means more deaths. But i hope the decrease in deaths continues.

Hospitalization rates have massively decreased. So will amount of deaths from what we saw 3 months ago.

Youndont need to wait for deaths. You can look at other items to know where this is headed.

[thethe]

Gilead charging JUST 3000 for their treatment. And you wonder why so many fake articles against HCQ came out.

[thethe]

People that were outraged some of us wanted to consider alternative methods to combating the virus are silent at things like this.

It just shows how pathetically fakr you all are and your whole lives revolve around trump adjacent issues.

Some of us have predicted the future better than others. Ill wait and see what you say when death numbers dont slike materially because mostly young peoplr are among the new infection spikes.

[nsacpi]

As I noted earlier, the big question is whether the large increases in infections among young people eventually seep their way into older more vulnerable populations.

Deaths are going to rise even if the answer is no. But it will be a muted rise.

If the answer is yes deaths are going back to over 1,000 per day in July. I think that is the more likely outcome. >30,000 deaths in July.

[BedellBrave]

Damn bedell, sorry to hear you have so many that have been affected by this

Thanks goldie. Going to try and "visit" my 95 year-old "success" story today. She's now failing quickly. Hoping she has enough wherewithal to talk to me on the phone as I stand outside her window. If she doesn't make it, she will be the third friend to die.

Part of the reason I've got such a large group is due to my travels. Friends all over the world -- Pakistan, Turkey, France, Spain, UK.

[BedellBrave]

Glad that the death rates are going down for now. Hoping and praying that continues and that there isn't an uptick.
