re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

Yea I’m almost convinced most of this is all delayed flu deaths. The last two flu seasons were mild and this year was almost non existent. Then we introduce COVID into all our nursing homes and it wreaks havoc. The places that are doing well must not be seeding their nursing homes and vulnerable populations.

By definition it very much is a pandemic.
WHO changed the definition of Pandemic.
That seems to have been a common trick during the Obama years. Redefine stuff and get the numbers you want. High mass shootings, low unemployment. Whatever you want.

Ok to be clear... Obama did not start the phenomena of redefining things..
I have said this previously and will say it again... on the WHO's website where they give a timeline of events leading up to them declaring a Pandemic, the WHO specifically states this as the reasons for the declaration and I quote;
11 March 2020
Deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction, WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.
See WHO link

Looks like the big cities in India are seeing 15-30% of the population has already been infected according to antibodies.
Edit for perspective:
India, thus far, has a really low death rate.
The Indian state with the most deaths is Maharashtra (114 million people), which is where Mumbai (18 million people) can be found. This state accounts for 3438 deaths; country as a total has 8102 deaths.
quote:
What has emerged from the data analysis so far?
* Very high exposure levels in some cities
* Very low exposure levels in rural sites
* In some areas with high exposure, 15 to 30 per cent population has been exposed to the infection
* In some sites, the infection size is 100 to 200 timer higher than the cases reported at those sites

Update on our antibody study
Positive rate is at 10.1%. And 42% of those that tested positive responded that they dont remember having a single symptom

What was your study? Louisiana state wide?
Posted on 6/11/20 at 5:52 pm to SloaneRanger
We have tested over 28,000 people across the state
Posted on 6/11/20 at 6:51 pm to lsupride87
Thanks. What are the numbers from the NO area? Has to be much higher, right?

Being tested positive does not mean a hospital visit. I only know to two people that got this and they never went into the hospital. They used OTC medication and self quarantined themselves in their home. The neighbors left them food and their mail at their doorstep. He has COPD and he got it from his Father's funeral in Arkansas.
Everyone is pushing for more testing so of course there will be more positive tests. But what the media is not showing is how many negative cases there are.

It was nothing like any of that. I didn't feel ANYTHING. I made several calls to the nurse practitioner and doctor asking to do a new test. Finally, the doctor told me that there is a large percentage of people out there who are asymptomatic. So, I did my own research. Come to find out, she was right. A large percentage of all COVID cases are like this. Every time I post this on this site in these discussions, I get a flood of downvotes as though I'm lying or they disagree. I don't give a shite. Don't believe me. I'm telling the truth with my right hand to God right now. The fear mongers don't want to hear talk like that because it does not fit their narrative.
If weekly testing was mandatory for everybody, we would probably see that close to 80% of the entire state population either had it, or has it. And a lot of people have no clue that they even have it (like my case).

In Florida today ...
1700 new cases of the virus in FLORIDA in one day the most since the start and 5 new cases Indian River.

The Southern Surge.
Let's just stay calm and get through it.
I'm in a southern airport right now. I'd say it is 50%/50% masks to no masks in the terminal.

My facility tested last week and has almost 100% results returned negative. Our sister community in Lafayette has not been so lucky and is now designated a cluster. This thing is still very real to certain populations.

New study says that masks control spread. Period.
"Our analysis reveals that the difference with and without mandated face covering represents the determinant in shaping the trends of the pandemic."
So, not very many people are getting sick from touching stuff, and all the "wash your hands until they bleed" emphasis from "experts" early on was just horrifically bad, when they should have told people to get the sewing machine down and make themselves a cloth mask. Also, "social distancing" isn't as important as wearing masks.

Everyone with a brain knew that masks can help reduce the spread of a respiratory virus. It was a weird crusade against masks. I don’t believe anyone should be forced to wear masks, but trying to say they don’t work on a population level is just silly.
Of course there are going to be plenty of people who don’t do it right but all it takes is a small percentage to use them correctly and it will have an effect.

All the news shows that I've watched reported that many infected people never develop symptoms. COVID-19 is deadly for some people of all ages but not for the vast majority. There seems to be no way to know for sure who is not vulnerable.

None of the experts would agree. The highest COVID-19 penetration in the US is in NYC. That percentage is probably less than 30%. Most other parts of the US are much lower.
It would be wonderful if your 80% penetration figure was real. If it were the pandemic would be over. Barring an effective vaccine, the pandemic isn't close to being over.

^ real talk.
The silly “you’re a stupid sheep for wearing a mask and for not wanting my gym to open up so I can go flop my moobs all over the place” narrative here is so annoying and, frankly, dumb.

This assumes everyone is equally susceptible, which does not appear to be the case.
