medical professionals are saying deaths are down.
it just seems like EVERYBODY is making this political.

You can believe this shyt is real w/o acting like the sky is falling.

No, you are actually just a fukking idiot. This goes beyond the fact we all know you are an awful poster. You are as close to being mentally retarded as you can get without getting a special parking pass.

Yes. The number of cases in the Washington Post for example. In other words, do you dispute that we are now seeing the highest number of daily cases we’ve ever seen?

as for deaths, yes it’s not as bad as it was at the peak around May, but things are definitely trending in the wrong direction, and if we start to now have 100,000 cases a day, in a couple of weeks we are going to start seeing 1800 or so deaths a day.
We have incredibly more testing now, which brings in more overall the cases. Mainly rural areas that didnt test much prior. So going from say 1000 tests in South Dakota to 2000 tests a day, as example, would bring in more cases for a huge country like America. The mortality rate is pretty much 2-4 per 100,000 at this point and will continue to go lower as time goes on.


The cases let alone the deaths per 100,000 in all major cities are down by a tremendous amount.

This is slightly unrelated, but we have the testing now that we should have had from the very beginning. Remember that we had a two month head start on this and Trump did nothing on testing. Remember in March-May most people could not get a test. There was a chance early on to test and contact trace to minimize the spread and deaths and that opportunity was missed.

I get the sense from your responses that a virus that is on pace to kill 350,000-500,000 Americans over the next 365 days is no big deal to you, I assume 1,000,000 a year is your threshold for the virus being a big deal?

:wow: mfs think this is a game, like families arent destroyed because their matriarchs / patriarchs were victims of some shyt that could've largely been avoided, LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES (particularly in Asia) have done. they dont hear you bruh.

My family is 99% Sure my wife had covid in March (which means we all had it). my daughter had the sniffles, i exhibited none myself. wife had all the symptoms and had been in an area of exposure; these mfs in Nebraska straight up told us to stay home because they didnt have tests. :snoop:

But you are indirectly proving my point. More tests = more results...

The death rate has halted, almost non existent now so, im not sure how you think we’ll end up with 500k deaths from covid over the next year.

I’m actually shocked people are still terrified of COVID. This is not about downplaying this shyt or being reckless. I’m just shocked so many people live in such fear :picard:

But what is your point though? You have to have a positive result to have a positive result right? If your argument is that many cases weren’t being counted early on because of the failure with testing, I don’t dispute that. Does that mean 90,000-100,000 cases a day is good? What is your ultimate point on that? Do you think there were more than 100,000 cases a day at the height in April and May even though the diagnosed cases topped out at 50,000 or so? And even if they did, so what? How does speculation about that somehow make 100,000 infections a day now a good thing?

source for the death rate has now halted to “non-existent” claim?

we have had roughly 1,000 cases a day the past week. If that pace continues (and measures certainly aren’t being put in place to slow it down outside of San Fran, that I’m aware of) then we will hit 365,000 deaths in a years time as there are 365 days in a year. Like you said earlier, it’s simple math.

The 500,000 deaths is based on the 100,000 daily cases we are now seeing, if that pace continues, and the deaths continue to hold to the 1.8% percent of daily cases from two weeks prior (people don’t immediately drop dead), then two weeks from now we will see roughly 1,800 daily deaths. If that pace holds, 1,800 multiplied by 365 days in a year is 657,000 American deaths. I didn’t want to do the math earlier and just went with 500,000, but there you have it.

Yes, let us not live in fear of a virus that if you catch it you have a chance of developing other serious conditions. Also let us not live in fear of a virus that can kill you with varying chances depending on your current health and in some cases bad luck. Also let us not live in fear of a virus that so far there has been no mass produced vaccine created to fight this. And lastly, let us not live in fear of a virus that has been best handled extremely poorly and at worst ignored by an administration that gives no shyts about anyone outside of their inner circle.

Yeah i do not know why people are in so much fear over this.

Smh, hope he gets better.


Wish him the best but dude was moving sloppy. I remember a while ago he said he flew to Miami and a woman ate his ass. I was like no way she did that with a mask on :picard:

Everyone on that podcast been moving sloppy. Rory & Mal definitely been flying in & out of NY. Again, how people are constantly traveling during a pandemic is mind boggling :mindblown:

What behaviors would you call “living in such fear”?

it wont maintain that, itll drop to 0.6% or so and then by April when a vaccine is around itll disappear almost completely. By next summer we'll be saying "damn last year was crazy with the covid"
