Been a thing for a long time
I don’t eat much McDonalds, but I did this 12-13 years ago in high school. I lived in West TN so we had the Spicy McChicken (much better), once you crossed the TN River it went to the plain ol McChicken.

We called it the same thing. Some poor kid on Twitter is thinking he’s original.

Had to go back on and look to see what the commotion was. People were calling her out because apparently it's had that name in Philly (no surprise) for a long time. I knew what a "Jawn" was (Philly term) but had never heard a mcgangbang.

I can't imagine asking for one in a store 🤣😃 "Yes, I'm here for the mcgangbang"

Numbers are funny things. For example I heard that the CDC in their update on Wednesday stated that only 7% of the reported virus related deaths listed the virus as the sole cause. I’ve seen a wide range of estimates for the number of Americans who have potentially had the virus. My favorite is a polling survey where 33% of the respondents thought they had probably had it at one time. That was I think around 6 weeks ago so I figure that percentage could be up close to 50% or more by now.

So out of 126,780 reported deaths about 8,875 are perhaps solely attributed to the virus. In Washington State there were 5 people who died of gunshot wounds but testing showed they had the virus so they were listed as Covid deaths. In Colorado a man was found dead in a park with a blood alcohol level of 0.55% and listed as a Covid death. In California, San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond investigated 194 COVID-19 deaths through mid-May and found that only six could be clearly claimed as caused by COVID-19. “We’ve unfortunately had six pure, solely coronavirus deaths — six out of 3.3 million people,” said Desmond.

There’s a certain number of people that die every day in our country for a whole host of causes. The CDC reported a total of 2,813,503 deaths for the year 2018 from all those causes. There’s also a certain number of new people that are born every day, 3,791,712 for the full year 2018. To the best of my knowledge there is only one cause for that. Anyway, we probably won’t know the real numbers of Covid deaths until some far future date when the numbers are no longer politically useful. jmo.

This is a projection for the U.S. and the number of deaths we will likely have annually going forward. We have a bit of an aging population so the death rate has been increasing the past few years and is expect to continue doing so for several more. It offers some perspective I think. jmo.

I saw a video the other day from a medical professional that used an O2 bump tester. The normal percentage of oxygen we breathe in is between 20-21%. He placed the tester to the corner of his mouth without the mask...it read 20.6. He puts a mask on and puts the tube in the same corner....it read 17.4.

How is that safe?
How many people have died from wearing a mask?
 
Are we able to quantify how many have died from not wearing a mask?
No, but it is recommended to help prevent others from catching it if you have it. We can't even quantify how many have died from it. It seems like such a minor imposition for a pretty significant potential benefit. You know, potentially saving a life.
 
I really wonder where we would be if we had just bit the bullet and let this virus burn through the population from day one. Disaster? Hospitals overflowing? Or herd immunity and back to our normal lives?

Watch Brazil to get a good guesstimate. Population is 60-65% of the US. Need to go through a full cycle of a year since they are in the southern hemisphere.
