Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

As some perspective on growth in some states.

Texas, FL, AZ and CA combined are projected to have 34,600 deaths total from Covid; NY is projected to have 32,200.

The point? Yes there is growth in Texas but it is 50% larger in population and it's projected total deaths are 7K vs 32K for NY. FL is roughly the same size as NY and it's are projected at 9K vs 32K.

While there is concern about the rise in some states, the country as a whole is still far below our peak (which was below HC capacity). One reason for the lower projections going forward is that the majority of new cases are in people who are much less likely to die from the virus.

I would be curious to know how many people have had it and didn't know. Looking back in February my mom and I both had something similar to the symptoms our doctors called it the fake flu but it sounded a lot like covid.

How is any of that different between him wearing a mask or not? Unless you are rubbing your face on every raw surface he walked past you are going to be fine. And even then it doesnt last forever.

Even with a mask you can still breath/touch stuff he breathed or touched within the danger time.

A mask doesnt remove the danger any more than being careful on your part already does.

Bill And Melinda Gates Have Sharp Words For U.S.’ Lack Of Leadership Role In Fighting Pandemic

Melinda Gates: “There are 60 million healthcare workers [around the world]. They deserve to get the vaccine first, they’re the ones dealing with this on the front lines, trying to keep us all safe. And then you have to start to tier from there, based on the countries and the populations. Here in the United States, it’s going to be Black people who really should get it first and many indigenous people”

Being accidentally misleading occasionally is not as bad as being intentionally misleading daily.

Y'all trumpers might think this 'Biden is mentally diminished' is getting traction... Nah.

Try wishing and one hand and poop'n in the other, see which one fills up first.

Frankly, as trump seems to keep losing ground daily in the polls it may be time to pull out the secret weapon.

Septic, are you saying that VP Biden has been accidentally misleading occasionally for the last 52 years?

You two are certainly a vocal minority according to this poll:

"An Axios-Ipsos poll this week found that 60% of Americans say they’re willing to stick with social distancing for another year or more, if needed; 77% say they wear a mask at least some of the time when they leave their homes. The scofflaws are a minority."

Column: We’re turning into two Americas: Masked and unmasked

I wonder what percentage of that “some of the time” is when they are at work?

If you choose not to wear a mask, the potential bad consequences you face come from your own volition. But the real problem is how many others you will infect walking around positive and not wearing a mask. As a diabetic, I have to wear a mask. To me, wearing a mask shows respect, civility and thoughtfulness toward others. Is that so hard to comprehend?

Wouldn’t it be easier for you to take self responsibility and stay away from the ones choosing not to wear a mask sparky ? If you had boils and lesions all over your skin I’m going to do my own personal self distancing . Seems simple enough .

I’m far from a Trumper but they’re going to have to get Biden signed up on Lumosity or something if they don’t want his diminished mental capacities to be obvious in debates. He looked like he had some malfunctions during the Democrat primaries.
