you think that the virus was sweeping across the country back then but not killing anyone? And, now, it's killing lots of people, but it's not infecting lots of asymptomatic people, because everyone's already gotten it.


God, you’re a fricking tap dancing twit. You’re mad I pointed out the flaw in your claim and now trying to put words in my mouth that I didn’t claim. I simply said it’s possible as they estimate 80% of people who get it show little to no signs.

But the fact that you felt the need to put a political affiliation in your name says all people need to know. You’re one of those people

Pneumonia kills around 186,000 people annually, why a person acquired pneumonia is not always known, it is likely that some of the pneumonia deaths earlier in the year were related to COVID19


American levels of pneumonia-like deaths were normal until the end of February.

Does FL, TX, and Cali use the same way to count Corona related deaths as LA?

It just boggles my mind that TX has a mere 133 and FL 221 covid related deaths.

I honestly believe the actual number of people with covid is in the hundreds of millions globally. Most people just fight it off.



LINK

San Miguel County, Colorado, which includes Telluride, is giving serology (antibody) tests to everyone that they can in the county. Telluride is a tourist town, so a number of people with the virus should have spent time there. Of the first two groups of over 1600 people tested, less than 2% were positive.

This study, along with studies in Iceland and in the town of Vo, Italy, show that the number of people who are asymptomatic may be considerably larger than the number who have symptoms (maybe even double or triple), but that doesn't translate into a large chunk of the population having the virus.

It's not possible that hundreds of millions have contracted COVID-19.

So once you’re on the vent do they drop an ng tube and crush the Hydroxychloroquine? Do they just not have options at that point?

I’ve actually wondered why we have comparatively fewer cases of Covid here in Texas.

If it was my call, I'd start running large active and control arms in young, healthy, mildly symptomatic patients who should survive with or without the drug, simply to test for viral load outcomes. I'd give physicians free rein to treat older and high risk patients as they deem medically appropriate (preferably as early as possible after sx onset IMO)


I believe NYU already has an 8 week trial ongoing now. Targeting people that lack COvID19 symptoms, but have been in contact with those that have confirmed cases.

So if you take 2% and extrapolate that out over the worlds population, that is 156 million...

So his claim isn’t that far off of base using the data you want to provide.

Just saying

But keep up your holier than thou attitude.

Is this THE WEEK where shite is supposed to get real with deaths? If it doesn’t will a lot of people start calming down and wanting to get back to normal? Not trying to troll just an honest question. I feel like goal line is continually pushed back on this thing.

In some areas... But they’ve already started walking back the doom and gloom.

The messaging yesterday was we are doing “better than expected”

It is very possible that hundreds of millions of people have contracted the virus in China alone.

They only have 9 positive symptomatic cases for the whole county. 2% have antibodies which would be 140. That would equal 15 times under reporting of cases including asymptomatic which is in line with studies out of china and italy.

This would make the total fatality rate for the world around .3%. In the US the fatality rate would be around .13%.

Louisiana probably around 200,000 total cases and a total mortality rate of .24%

As long as we can keep hospital overwhelmed by expanding capacity or medication, we can go back to normal.

Good morning guys. I just wanted to pop in and say that my nurse said I should be released sometime today or tomorrow morning. Still waiting on the doctor so obviously he is the one to make that call but I feel pretty damn good. Oxygen saturation up to 97 and I actually slept through the night last night for the first time since I got here.

It's been a rough couple of weeks but things are working out nicely. I will never forget you guys urging me to go to the hospital. Not saying I would have died but it is a possibility that you saved my life. I am stubborn as hell and I hate doctors and hospitals.

I hope he comes in and says things are great and he let's me go home. I really want to see my wife and kids.

Nope. We also have similar studies now in Iceland and in Italy.

It isn't "holier than thou" to say that obviously wrong opinions are wrong.

What the frick are you talking about?

You just posted data showing around 2% in CO showed the antibodies. So the similar studies in Iceland and Italy show the same data?

So happy to hear this CD! I'm a big believer in the power of positive, yet realistic, thinking. I believe you said your family had all test positive as well. Does that mean you just need to quarantine at home but not be quarantined from your family for the two week period until your next test?

Y'all ready for this? I only screenshot US, Louisiana, and Tennessee from the old data, so apologies there.
