ford_428cj Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 A tenth of a percent death rate right now correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I read a lot of the new cases were younger folks and asymptomatic, so probably won’t see as many deaths on this wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old indy Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) We can expect the numbers to go up pretty quickly around Mass. since they have just NOW opened multiple testing facilities that werent here when it was booming. i pulled up to one to inquire about it and the girl about pushed me into the testing area. when i told her again, NO im not here to get tested but just curious as to why the test location just opened now.. and why are you pushing me so hArd to get tested when i have no symtoms?? her reply was you neeed to be tested to keep people around you safe. call me crazy, but things are going too smoothly here and they want numbers to fudge in my opinion.

This has been around a while already, since March 2019 in Europe. If so this could very well be the second wave and it looks vit D could be the answer to minimizing its effects. https://theconversation.com/was-coronavirus-really-in-europe-in-march-2019-141582 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It duplicates the season flu. 80% of the people that contract either influenza A or B are asymptomatic. The issue with covid is that it’s proven to be more contagious and deadly.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 30, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, spin_dry said: No clue Well simple math would suggest dividing the actual number tested positive by .2. Supposedly we have 2.64 million confirmed cases. If 80% are asymptomatic and untested then that should mean 13,200,000 real positive cases.

old indy Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Why did Fauci tell the prez this is no big deal at first then a couple weeks later tell him to shut everything down impose a curfew and bring in the military to control everyone? the government disinformation campaign has been quite an eye opener. or more accurately an eye squinting time in history.

We didnt have near the amount of testing we do now and despite cases rising the death toll is dropping like a rock. I wonder how many actually need hospitalization and how many are just terrified from all of the propaganda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we handled keeping it out of nursing homes our death totals would be 1/3 to 1/2 what they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
