Official Coronavirus Non-Political Thread: Facts and Updates ⛑

Sailors are teenagers/young adults so will survive. Nothing to see here.

Midwest on track for +53k new infections this week.

You think it would be any different if your berby or Hitlery was President? All your doing is whining and trying to pin everything on one man. How about the state’s responsibility? Such a convenient narrative for you to gin up that you do much to support the party of always in perpetual conflict! You fail to advance your own causes by always playing the blame game because that is pretty much the context of the majority of your posts on this site.

BTW this is a non political thread so save your blame game for the political one!

Actually, recent data from studies in Los Angeles indicate an infection rate 50X higher than reported, both due to people with mild/moderate symptoms being refused the test, and that most people have very mild to no symptoms.

This would indicate that some 40 - 50 million Americans have already encountered covid. The average fatality from/with covid is over 75 and already had one foot in the grave and the other in loose dirt.

And yes, your attempt at making this political is pretty weak.

HELL JUST FROZE OVER !

ABC News: Aborted Fetuses are in Vaccines.

Merck, the vaccine’s manufacturer, acknowledged that those cells were originally obtained from an electively aborted fetus. They were used to start a cell line, which is a cell multiplied over and over again to produce cells that are of a consistent genetic makeup. The WI-38 cell line is used as a culture to grow live viruses that are used in vaccines.

Vaccines are just dead viruses! And babies…

They aren’t telling the entire story here (as is usually the case w/ ABC). There was a letter, sent by the Catholic church, to the pharmaceutical company, back in the 1970s. They were voicing their concern about the aborted fetus cells used in the vaccine.

Unfortunately, they stated that they thought the vaccine was important and they didn’t want to discourage people from getting them. They said they will continue to recommend the vaccine until a new vaccine was developed.

With that said, the vaccine company never changed the formula to exclude the aborted fetus cells.

So, in a nutshell, the Catholic church didn’t like it, but didn’t use their power - in terms of numbers of followers - to change anything.

US death tolls have already blown past the earlier IHME model estimates of 60k, now are rapidly approaching the current IHME estimate of 72k, and will likely pass that in a few days.

Of course, IHME will probably update their model tomorrow and bump up the death estimate.

We’re gonna be lucky if we keep it under 100k now.

Well, they started with an estimate of 2.2 MILLION. It’s all bullshit. They don’t know, but the medical community was the last authority most people still trusted, and they blew it. They talked us into a cure that is worse than the disease, even as they drag their feet telling us Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc is an effective treatment and we can all just go back to work, be vigilant for the symptoms, and contact the doctor for the cure when we need it.

Total coronavirus cases in Brazil rise above 100,000

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - There have been 4,588 new cases of the novel coronavirus in Brazil and 275 deaths over the last 24 hours, the health ministry said on Sunday, bringing total confirmed cases in the country to over 100,000.

The nation has now registered 101,147 confirmed cases of the virus and 7,025 deaths. The number of cases increased roughly 5% on Sunday from the previous day, while deaths rose by roughly 4%, the ministry said.

NY cases are declining but cases for the rest of America are, on the whole, still increasing

The intense media coverage of NY is giving people a false sense of security that the pandemic is almost over

It’s not almost over.

Brazil, India, and Russia are all still rising. While the US is still not out of the woods, the data suggests a slight plateau which is also correlated by the graph posted above.

Here is an update on US testing rates:

WTF? China? Holy crap! That can’t be right, but all the other countries seems consistent.

Anyone with a basic understanding of data modeling and analysis can clearly see that the data coming out of China is laughably wrong. If they weren’t so arrogant, they would have at least tried to make their numbers align to all the existing trends, even if they were artificially lowering their numbers. This is just blatantly obvious. They aren’t just under-reporting.

Great point. People are relaxing because the situation in NYC is improving.

In some states their local situation is still getting worse, but they don’t see their local situation in the news - New York dominates the news, so when New York gets better they feel safer, even if they don’t live anywhere near New York. Not good.

I’m starting to get nervous about all of these lockdowns. I don’t think they are going to end anytime soon but I’m not quite sure of the reason why. Either Corona virus is very real and our government doesn’t know what to do about it or it’s totally overblown and the government doesn’t want to look bad by responding like it’s no big deal. I can’t make heads or tails but I am really getting tired of it.
