I have been asked to provide my military records??? Please point to the post where this was requested. I have never been in the military. Are you delusional? That is the only thing that can explain your post.
Asshat, you made a post talking about daddy in WWII and you felt that his service somehow gave your post credence. It doesnt. I asked you to stop living in daddy's shadow and post your own military record, which you admit you dont have. So buttplug, where is the part where I am supposed to be impressed with you? GWB-Trading is the same guy who couldnt wait for people to die in Sweden. What kind of a person are you?
Let's take a look at the previous information. Your claim was that lockdowns would greatly increase the suicide rate. I stated very clearly that due to government financial support that suicides would only increase after the government assistance stopped and bills became due. Financial stress is one of the leading stressors driving suicide for people over 25 and under 70 according to research -- this is usually coupled with other mental issues. Despite many pundits claiming in April, May, and June that suicides would rise world-wide during lockdowns this has not happened. The reality is that the number of suicides has dropped or staying steady in every country during lockdowns. In Colorado in March and April suicides dropped 40%. In Ireland the government stated suicides have not changed. In Japan suicides dropped by 20% during the lockdown. In India suicides decreased by 13.5% in the Pune state during the lockdown. In New Zealand suicides dropped during the lockdown. As noted in the NYT in May the actual suicide rate for lockdowns in the U.S. would not be known for many months but their was no evidence in May that it increased during the lockdowns of March and April in the U.S. So in summary -- the claim that lockdowns would increase the suicide rate have proven to be complete nonsense. Yet back in May you pushed a nonsensical story from an online Yahoo reporter about a "A-Level student found dead 'was fearful of future because of lockdown" about about a high school student who obviously had underlying mental issues. You used this single example as a claim that suicides were greatly rising due to lockdowns (which has proven to be completely false). Let's take a look at my response to your news story - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/food-shortages-are-coming.343969/page-12#post-5101778 I simply noted that when my Dad came back from World War 2 their were periods of lockdown due to the polio epidemic. No different than lockdowns by city, state, and region today. Nobody was trying to blame the lockdowns for a increased suicide rate. This was because the Great Generation believed that people were personally responsible for their behavior --- and should not be blaming others or "conditions" for what they did. Let's move forward to today... Every individual needs to be personally responsible for their behavior. Sadly most criminals blame their "poor childhood" or "racism" or many other causes for the crimes they committed -- they never accept personal responsibility for their actions. Of course left-wing pundits push the agenda that the criminals are victims --- and the actual victims are oppressors. Similarly there is only one person responsible when an individual commits suicide.... the individual themselves. I can sympathize with family and friends for their loss, but they are not responsible. They may believe they could have done more, got better assistance etc. but they should not blame themselves for the tragedy usually associated with mental health issues. Somehow in your fanciful mind you deem that I need prove my service to give my post credence for mentioning my father in context of previous U.S. lockdown experiences. This is one of the most twisted and absurd interpretations I have seen on ET. Reasonable people can only question your rationality based on your absurd assertions.
The CFR (Case Fatality Rate) for the seasonal Flu is 0.1%. The IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) for the seasonal Flu is 0.025%. The CFR (Case Fatality Rate) for COVID-19 is 4.0% world-wide. The IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) for COVID-19 is between 0.3% to 0.8% world-wide. As noted many times before on these threads - COVID-19 and the seasonal flu do NOT have a similar CFR.
Wrong. CFR is based on symptomatic cases for Flu, positively confirmed by a medical visit and flu test. In which case CFR (in the US) moves between 2-4% every year.
You are completely incorrect. I posted all the supporting medical information for the CFR and IFR rates I described for the Flu. Go back and read them.
Its got nothing to do with your father. Just like your knowledge, or lack thereof, has nothing to do with your daughter. You have never been in the military, yet you are one of these people who wants US troops spread across the world fighting in stupid wars that dont serve the US' purpose. You love the troops as long as they stuck in shitholes around the world, To top it off, what you said about the people of Sweden was disgusting. Truly disgusting. You have no wisdow. BTW, I nailed the death rate back in March. From what I can see, I was the first in the world. Where were you? You lost big time so you are trying to change the subject. My analsis skills > Your analsis skills CASE CLOSED
Sounds like you are completely unbalanced. So hoping that Sweden implements proper public health policy so they don't have 10 times the COVID deaths per capita as their direct neighbors is "disgusting". Completely absurd. So show me where I wanted "US troops spread across the world fighting in stupid wars that dont serve the US' purpose." Yes, this obviously is nonsense as well.
I recall at the same time you made your "prediction", Germany has estimated 0.8 I commented on this. That's not nailing anything you moron. Stopped clock predictions, the foundation of economics.
