Covid-19

I'm super curious to look at our death from all causes at the end of this year. That's going to be really telling.

I'll bet it's within normal range.

I'll bet it's within normal range.

I honestly have no clue which way it will fall. My guess is that it will be higher than 2019, but within a normal enough range of growth that it won't be easy to discern if it's COVID related or not as I believe the # of deaths grows with population, but I think there is some variability between years.

Both sides will point to it and say "See?!"

Bet that normal causes of death are reduced in a way that doesn’t match the trend and covid death is in the top 2-4 causes and all ends pretty close to the same

It will be interesting (if that's the right word) to see how this all shakes out. I'm guessing things like car wrecks and deaths by other infectious diseases will be down but heart attacks and strokes, as well as violent deaths like murder and suicide will be up. For better or worse (mostly worse) the virus has permeated all of our lives and actions no matter how big of a threat we see it.

Nope. 164,937 excess deaths through July. About 10% more than the Covid deaths at that point.
https://www.sciencealert.com/2020-has-killed-up-to-200-000-extra-people-in-the-us-so-far

The number of deaths in the United States through July 2020 is 8 percent to 12 percent higher than it would have been if the coronavirus pandemic had never happened.
That's at least 164,937 deaths above the number expected for the first seven months of the year – 16,183 more than the number attributed to COVID-19 thus far for that period – and it could be as high as 204,691.

. I cannot believe our governor allowed that to be done. Highly disappointed in him right now...granted maybe he tried and was overruled.

The more cases you report the more of that sweet federal covid money you can get. Just a guess.

If that is the case then we should go back and adjust up the rest of the pandemic to reflect probable cases and then we would know our cases are actually going down now.

This is exactly what Bret Weinstein was saying in Joe Rogan's podcast. Labs use accelerants (forget the lab terminology) to mutate these diseases so they can better study them. The virus got out of the lab and the government blamed it on animal transmission even though it didn't make sense how it could mutate and spread so quickly. Scientists are so afraid to acknowledge this theory because it makes labs look dangerous and would lead to less funding/grants.

I think that it escaped from the lab in Wuhan is entirely credible. That it was man-made is not, at least not yet.

I don't think the chinese are capable. They aren't the threat they are billed to be.

Ah, that doesn’t sound good.

Globally, this isn't a huge surprise. It's also something he's been advocating for, that wealthy countries view the outbreak globally and contribute to efforts for expansion of global production.
