COVID-19

This is the fault of Ron DeSantis. That bastard.

 

You do understand that the current infection rate, cases, and deaths in these countries are still significantly below the U.S. level on a per capita level. However they are wisely concerned and taking actions.

 

So there are going to be another two hundred to four hundred thousand dead by years end? We have a supposed 200K dead in 6 1/2 months and we may get double that in the next 3 1/2 months? And this is with all of the current safety protocols in place, mask wearing, social distancing and the like? I'll be kind and call this new model prediction highly unlikely.

 

They called the model predicting 100,000 deaths by August unlikely.

The reality is that the model has underestimated COVID deaths in the U.S.

 

Adaptive modeling, Captain.

You also need to understand the variable that would adjust if Trump weren't in office, and it were Hillary.

 

They are predicting between 400 and 600K dead by years end. We'll see.

 

Yeah... I see the most recent estimates. It is very disturbing to see the predictions that the COVID death rate in the U.S. will greatly accelerate in the last 4 months of the year. I was hoping things would be going in the opposite direction.

 

These respiratory illness like the enclosed grouping that cold weather forces us into.

 

Things are going in the opposite direction in regard to deaths. We're way down from what it was during the first couple months. Now this model is saying that is going to turn on a dime and accelerate, what's that word? Oh yeah, exponentially. I don't see a single thing going on which would indicate such an accelerated rate of deaths in the coming weeks. What I have seen with every single, we're on the verge of collapse prediction, is it never transpires. Ever since Memorial Day and every event after was supposed to have us seeing some great calamity. Nothing to date, nothing even close.
I'll believe what I actually see and what I see is things improving significantly with treatments, with protocols, with rate of survival when infected, and actual death rate.
All I know is this. Something ain't right about this whole thing and how it's been pushed. A highly infectious respiratory type illness which has no symptoms for over half of those supposed to be infected. Quite Orwellian when we're told, yeah we know you think you're just fine, but trust us, you're not.
