When was the last time 14 people died of the flu in 12hrs...in one hospital?

  1. It doesn't matter. All that matters is the rate of hospitalization and the deaths. If you can't put these people on ventilators then we will see 100s-1000s of deaths each day. It's pointless to predict. You're not an epidemiologist. I doubt your one semester of Stats 101 is helpful here.

    COVID-19 hospitalization rates are 4x higher than seasonal flu. 45yo AT&T Director was on a ventilator. Guy runs the Austin Marathon every year and he coded last night. He's stable.

    We know this, we know why, it'll burn out soon but not before massive uptake, why there building hospital beds and making ventilators asap to be ready.

    Calm!

  3. It's NOVEL you fucking twat.

    HERD IMMUNITY results from individuals interacting within an IMMUNE population; either via a vaccine or a herd consisting of recovered individuals.

    You are literally the dumbest mofo on Earth.

  5. Oh please. I had Flu A this season and didn't know it. Scarlett Fever while in Barranquilla and worked 40 hours/week. You people treating it like the common cold because you're losing money.

    the only way you could argue with what I wrote was to create
    a strawman (novel) and then make a bullshit argument.
    but then you had to include the caveat about interacting with immune population because you knew you were being a dick.

    you know the virus is already out in the community...
    you know many of us have had it but are are not tested.
    you know many of us have had mild or no symptoms.
    (the doctors have told us this.)
    therefore you know we may already be building up herd immunity
    some of us already may have antibodies.

    We might be on the way to herd immunity right now

    So herd immunity could be happening right now.
    and you fucking know it.

    therefore you were a douchbag to make that argument, and you should acknowledge it.
