Covid breaking my hopes

[Rivnats]

100% of the US pop isn’t getting this. Right now the death rate is 1.27 in the US. In 2017 the flu and pneumonia killed 55,000. Doubt we will hit that number when this is all over.

Uncontrolled, majority of the population will get it. 100% of US population is 331 million. So even at your given rate of 1.27% in US it will be at least 3 million deaths. My point is that no country can handle that many deaths within a month that's why the measures of lockdown are correct to slow it down and flatten the curve so as not to overburden the medical resources.

The more people confirmed in the US the lower the death rate will be. We are already taking precautions and shutting down the whole country. Say the number of cases doubles for the next 2 weeks every 4 days before it slows down. That means we have less than 250000 cases, and if the death ratio goes down as expected, say around 1% for easy math, then we have a total of 2500 deaths. H1N1 has 60 million cases and 13-14000 deaths. We never heard a peep about shutting down the country or the world ending. I’m not saying to can’t get worse, but we will get nowhere near 7 figure deaths. I highly doubt we see 6 figure deaths. This is just me running numbers that are more logical than doomsday numbers everyone else seems to be saying.

The country is doing the right thing by shutting everything down. Most people hate their jobs, most kids hate going to school. This country works too hard and for what, to pay ass loads of taxes that are packed up and sent over seas to places like Israel that gets $4 billion every year. They have free healthcare and free higher education while our people don't have jack shit.

Just sit back and enjoy the vacation. The less you do, the less taxes you pay, the poorer the police state, the less prisons are built, the more government people have to be let go.

You're a nut job. Move to a different country since you hate this one so much.

Had a friend who had just been to China when this all started- took advice to dump all his stocks around Feb 20- wish I had done the same- could buy them all back at less than 50% of what I sold them for in a few weeks or a month and watch them rise again which makes me think- how many people saw this and followed this protocol- they will be banking big- sometimes the conspiracy theorist nut living in my head wonders if things like COVID are driven by more than what we see on the surface.

This is one of the things this BULLSHIT disease was designed to do. When the stock market goes down it’s because the value went somewhere else. It doesn’t just poof disappear. So some people took that value out.

It could also be a socio-economic experiment to see exactly what the sheep accept from their shepherds. You see people STRONGLY supporting this lock-down. Um, based on what? Well based on what the media reports (is that even remotely factual anymore?) and what WHO scientists and CDC scientists claim. Are they really looking out for us and if so, what makes these special people so much more benevolent than you or I?

Read up. The Federal Reserve was created in the early 1900s. It’s NOT run by our government. It’s private. Prior to the Great Depression, it’s role was limited but it didn’t save us from the Great Depression so in response, the government gave the private independent system MORE power. Same thing will happen in the future after the great economic collapse of 2020.

They have millions of people on lockdown to save a few thousand people’s lives in America. Why? Because the rest of the world is doing it. Why is the rest of the world doing it if it’s already proven to be ineffective? This obviously isn’t about “saving lives” but that’s the best storyline because the sheeple feel like they have a cause now. And fuck if some of those idiots aren’t downright passionate about “flattening the curve”.

Let us go back to work. Our grandparents generation wouldn’t have sat on their hands like this knowing that they were losing ALL of their money. Our generation is the first of the “Pussy Generations”. History is going to write about the “global pandemic of 2020 that killed 20,000 people but the economy collapsed because that generation sat in their house.” FML, we should be fucking EMBARRASSED.

Sorry for the rant, I’ll return to my safe space and “hope”. [emoji58]

Absolutely agree. So sick of this closure crap, and our local cities are just now starting this bs .

How long is it gonna take before people become stir crazy and start demanding that things be re opened ? I’m 3 weeks overdue for a haircut and now I can’t get one until fucking May ? I’ll be an apocalyptic caveman by then.

Sum1 pls start a revolt.

We’ll do it based on your haircut. It’ll give us a strong rallying cry! You’ll have to be our leader though so when we overthrow the government you better look fucking super handsome with that haircut and not a bowl cut or something retarded.

Seriously though. The closures to flatten the curve are strongly supported by Average Mommy’s and Daddy’s on Facebook. That’s likely the majority. That’s gotta change and those dipshits need to get over themselves. I guarantee the ones supporting “social distancing” ([emoji35] That term pisses me off now) are the SAME ones that are going to flood the ER as soon as Timmy and Suzy have the sniffles and a slight fever. Fuck those people.

The worst part is that the mom and pop business will go under while all us small guys get fucked again. No one in the lobby for us. The big guys will lobby and take the bullshit bail out we will never see

Can u amaze us all by explaining how does the mortality rate goes down with more confirmed cases?
H1N1 has a mortality rate of 0.02% according to WHO. Compare that to a minimum of 2% of COVID'19 with rates of upto 8-9% for people above 70 yrs.
FYI total number of ventilators in USA is about 160000 only.
Anyways, the actual argument is about letting the about 2% people die without the rest having to change their routines. Kind of extremely unethical to me.

Yep extremely unethical. We ignore this and let it run it’s course and I would bet on a full scale breakdown as people flood hospitals for the virus and other conditions and then riot when they or their loved ones can’t get care. At least with the current approach we maybe stand a chance of avoiding that assuming aid gets to everyone we maybe avoid a complete collapse.

I've heard that the majority of people taking up the hospital beds are people aged 22-40? Is this true? I surely hope not. Lol.

You’re not counting the people that actually DO have the Coronavirus but elect not to go to the doctor to get any treatment.

How do they count the ones that tested positive for it, go home, recover but since they feel totally fine they don’t plunk down a copay to go back to the doctor or clinic to say “heyo doc, I’m all better now.”[emoji106]

The media is fear-mongering and inflating the POTENTIAL fatality rate. The CDC is reporting 3% right?

The most accurate snapshot is from 700 passengers from the Diamond Princess Cruise ship. 7 passengers died. So 1% but they were largely elderly. Projecting across all age groups they said fatality rate would be close to 0.125% with a margin of error of 5 times lower (0.025%) to 5 times higher (0.625%). These are stats from REAL data, not projections.

Yeah—I just read they are tracking hospitalization numbers in the US that are different than what was reported out of China. Problem is you can’t trust a word coming out of China. Also the fact we are a much more obese nation probably has something to do with it. The three critical factors seen in every critical condition is obesity, type two diabetes and high blood pressure.

Last number I've seen was 40% hospitalized are 20-54. Wonder how many have pre-existing conditions or are heavy vape or pot smokers.

Or just random video game playing, parents basement dwelling obese punks?

I see now that Democrats have stalled the bill to immediately help Americans with some cash so I think you boys in the city are fucked.

The younger people that have it and are hospitalized are mostly healthcare workers that are in contact with it everyday.

This is a load of horseshit, I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist, but I agree 100% with @BigBaldBeardGuy, this was done on purpose to destroy the small businesses and widen the gap between the rich and the poor, so only a few dozen have the power over the rest of us (working class).

What I find the funniest is they have these sensansionalist articles with fear mongering titles where people that had it and survived (Miracle!!!) describe it, and what they basically describe is a regular fucking flu.
