Covid - 19

[Dwayne From Minden]

would there would be MORE than 200K dead?

The correct question is -

How many of the 200k would have died over the same time frame without the virus? 50%, 60%, 70% or more?

My educated guess is that 60% to 70% of those individuals would have passed in the same general 6 month time frame without the virus

[johnnylightnin]

No it doesn't -

It actually lends credence to the conspiracies...

Literally no evidence for that. Not to mention the scale of the conspiracy makes it beyond impossible.

How is that any different than the yearly flu numbers?

Logic is beyond you when it comes to hating Trump.

Thousands have died who would have died anyway and you say there is no evidence of that. That's the same as saying the 200,000 would be alive if it weren't for Trump and his virus. Think about what your are saying.

If you delve into the hospital numbers it's there...

Being one who sits on such a board, it's not hard to see

and one whose spouse is a primary care giver who has been in the trenches since day one it's not hard to see

You can believe what you want to believe - but a big effort is made to tie the virus in for financial reasons

It's not - but we don't tank an economy and lock down the population for the prevention/eradication of the flu

Which is POINT 1 A all along....

Again, if this is going to be a conspiracy, you gotta show me how the MO has changed with this virus. Right now, we're attributing LESS to COVID than we would with flu. You don't get a COVID label without a positive tests.

My info comes from a primary care physician who is treating this stuff every day. He's a Trump supporter and has no interest in hurting Trump.

That's a false equivalence. We have proven therapy and a vaccine for the flu.

You have a shot or shots. Not a vaccine

[johnnylightnin]

Wrong

[PawDawg]

Wrong

No I'm not. Polio, smallpox and Tetanus have vaccines.

[johnnylightnin]

CDC calls it a vaccine. Not sure what your point is...seems like semantics in an effort to miss the point.

My favorite uncle (age 86) is about to die WITH China Virus not OF China Virus. He has suffered from dementia for years. China Virus didn't kill him, but he will be counted as one of the bogus numbers. There are THOUSANDS more like him, but as long as it make the Orange Man look bad...

Sorry to hear that. Dementia is rough.

Prayers for y’all. Been down that road.

Very sorry to hear this. Heartbreaking illness.

Sorry about your uncle!

Thanks for the kind words. He died about an hour ago.

Ask your doctor friend. I don't care what the CDC calls it. There is not A vaccine against A certain strain of the flu. If there were, nobody would get sick after taking THE FLU SHOT. You ever seen them advertise for FLU VACCINES at the drug stores?

Sorry to hear that Monty.
