Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 4, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 I would have like to seen the positive cases then testing 800,000 per day vs. 150,000 per day. https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’ve said all along there’s way more positives out there than we could even imagine because a lot of people are asymptomatic, and this thing spreads fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a vaccine as effective as the influenza vaccines given each year there is NO stopping this. Let it run its course. We can lock down and do whatever but the fact remains that enough of the population must stay working (essentials) that there will always be thousands and thousands running around positive to cause another spike once things open back up. Its true mortality rate doesn't justify what we are doing. When adding in who had it but not tested the mortality rate is less than 1/2 of 1 percent. Then when you look at the young and healthy the death rate for them is almost too small to measure.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 4, 2020 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 The US about 250 people under the age of 25 have died from Covid. Of these its likely most had some pre-existing condition. 10 x's that will die from drug OD's alone in the same time period. Many, many more will die from influenza than covid and we vaccinate for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
