Weekly COVID death totals at an all time low, since 3-14. Can we chill out a little?

[QUOTE=n00bie;14044762]Looks like the lockdown worked. Deaths are at an all time low because it takes a couple months from people to die from this. When the States started opening up last month cases skyrocketed.

In theory, deaths should start to climb soon.. which maybe the case since the last couple of days the deaths are starting to spike.[/QUOTE]

Deaths are definitely a lagging indicator.

If we chill we might get hit with a second wave. :lol

We must continue to social distance and wear masks until the Bill Gates vaccine arrives to save us :banana:

Vaccines don't work in the U.S.

A large percentage of people in the U.S. think vaccines are a conspiracy as well.

[QUOTE=diamenz;14044771]were you not addressing this forum directly when you said "For those that understand this, thank you. For those that do not, please understand this and stop freaking out." ?[/QUOTE]

So that's a no?

i've been a chicagoan for 36 years.

every state is reopened or reopening, even the blue ones. big city states are taking a more gradual approach. let's not act like red states are peechy keen in their reopening operations, huh? that's pretty evident with what's going on right now in texas & florida. let's be real here - no one really knows wtf they're doing because this is an unprecedented situation.

but if you wanna politicize it, whatever. blue govs are scary bitches and red govs are reckless idiots. hur dur.

Oh :lol

So then don't you see all the morons freaking out and shutting things down all over still?

see the post above... that's the way see it. no one (governors & mayors, trump nor congress) know wtf they're doing... there's no blueprint for this. blue states are being more cautious in their reopenings, red states are opening up quicker. what it reallyshould be is a county by county reopening.

the real failure in all of this is the federal government dropping the ball on relief checks for individuals and small businesses. that means trump, that means pelosi, schumer, the entire us congress. our overall response as a nation is pretty fu**ing underwhelming. i walk through a commercial district here in the city and can't help but feel terrible for these small businesses that didn't make it and the struggles they must be going through.

Yeah it's been pretty wild man, my brief understanding is that they basically just gave a 6-month loan relief to businesses that had a loan. Meaning if you didn't currently have a business loan you didn't get any type of relief.

Before covid-19 55k people A WEEK in the U.S. alone were dying. Why didn’t people care then?

The media hysteria was telling us the "national nightmare was upon us" - impeachment. And before that our panic was Russia Collusion for 3 years.

2 million children under 5 years old died of pneumonia in 2018, nobody bats an eye
1.5 million die of TB every year, nobody bats an eye
9 million die of hunger every year, nobody bats an eye

500k people ~80 years old die of various causes with suspected cold symptoms and everyone loses their shit

Probably because covid19 could have been controlled if the population social distanced and wore a mask for 1 - 2 months. (Like every single country in the world did except for the U.S. and Brazil)
