re: Per CDC: 112k deaths in the US from the virus, total US population 328m

We’ve given up trillions (with more to come) for .034% of the total US population,

Yeah, your decimal’s out of place, but someone already mentioned that. I keep coming back to that study I read on here, which granted was limited to only 6 cities I believe (and I don’t remember how many people were tested in each city, but it appeared to be random enough to be a decent barometer for the rest of the country). On the low end of the 6 cities, there were 6 people who either had it or had antibodies indicating they had already had per 1 reported case. On the high end, the ratio was 24:1. So there’s a shitload of people who are walking around with it asymptomatic.

So, obviously, the mortality rate is based on deaths per reported cases, but if this study was any indication, and they were able to factor deaths per actual positive case rather than reported positive case, then the mortality rate would look dramatically lower.

the overwhelming number of those being retirement age.

Not many people actually retiring at 55 these days. I’m sure you’re still in your 20s or 30s. Dip your toes into your 40s, and you won’t be so quick to shoo the 55-year-olds off the planet. 55 is way too low to be the cutoff to make a case it’s a lesser deal than it’s being made out to be. 55-year-olds are much more vibrant and productive than they were a few decades ago. Plenty of other stats can do that, anyway. Need to bump that number up to at least 70. But your point still clearly stands.

When you test positive, I believe you are required to take the test again trying to see if it was a false positive. Is that also inflating the infected top line by double counting?

---

Oh so one person is being tested twice?
And getting it twice so they say there are 2 cases of Corona?
Holy shite you’re on to something

- 46.7k/112k deaths were in New York & New Jersey

- 103k/112k deaths from age 55+

- 8k deaths are Between the ages of 35-54

- 941 deaths TOTAL from age 0-34

Self imposed $3 Trillion dollars and double digit unemployment for this is INSANE!

So what about the 35-55 age group?

350 duh

WTF was NY doing?

sending the elderly that tested positive for Covid to nursing homes instead of hospitals.

Relatively few.

The fact that any, at all, have been counted as COVID deaths means the numbers are pretty much worthless.

I know facts aren’t really this site’s thing, but can we start posting evidence to support shite like this?

Im not saying that never happens, but that would be extremely rare and doubt its double counted


Now, that is happening alot, is people testing positive, coming back a week or so later to take another test to see if they are still shedding virus, and test positive again. This absolutely gets reported as two positives

You aren’t required to test again but if you do they ask you to wait 10 days before testing again.

You arent required to do anyhting

The poster above said you were required to get tested again.

So, an extra 50k deaths versus $3 Trillion in economic damage.

Geez, the ijits are out in full force! No, man, Sweden still suffered the lion’s share of the economic damage that we have. They did tremendous social isolation in Sweden; it just wasn’t all mandated. Sweden has been in something like our phase 2 all along. But a lot of Swedes have treated it as a full lockdown.
