The conspiracy theorists conclude he's evil.

You mean the guy who literally has the ability to put a tracking device in any one of his devices that 99% of people use everyday won’t do that but he will put it in the vaccine???

Lol... that’s exactly what I think every time I hear one of these conspiracy theories. He literally could have tracked keystrokes for the last 20+ years if he had wanted to. It’s comical to think he’d even need another angle.

Right, you’ve said that several times. I know what your opinion is, I want to know what it’s based on. So far, you seem completely unable to articulate it beyond this vague notion of “excessive compared to normal.” Do you think all the “normal” reasons people die just took a break during the pandemic?

So, turning to your ability to analyze data: you attempted to compare Trump Virus statistics in two states... some of those comparisons involved only a single day of data, and there was no consideration given to the geographical differences between those two states or how that should be considered in evaluating the efficacy of the state’s response. Your only rebuttal when confronted with those geographical differences was to say that the person pointing them out is being political. Furthermore, even this lame accusation was partially based on a misreading or misrepresentation of what I said.

None of these things shout “this is the person we should be listening to,” IMO.

Pretty sure flu and pneumonia are down.

This link says about a 40% decrease in flu.
Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report | CDC
Unfortunately they dont break down pneumonia the same way. And then when they get to deaths it adds in Covid, which means we are higher.

And this is all just through the end of April compared to the similar point last year.

It really really bothers me that they dont consistently report on the same data set.

Stat A is just flu
Stat B is flu and pneumonia
Stat C is flu, pneumonia, and Covid

How is that helpful? What conclusions are you supposed to be able to draw from that?

And considering the quarantine it does make sense for other causes of death to be down. That's not some form of Trump slurping. It's common sense. Covid isnt the only disease that spreads by person to person contact. Most of them work that way.

Uh, pretty sure they did as part of the last round of software updates. If you have your place sharing on (it is by default) and bluetooth on they are tracking you for Covid tracing.

The ole "it's been said" statement on the internet. That must be a sibling of the unnamed sources that CNN is always mentioning.

This is just an idiot woman. There's nothing political here. All parties have idiots. In fact a person couldn't win an election without votes from idiots.

That top graph is interesting to see. I wonder if that pans out across the board. It goes back to the virus killing itself off. Seems like there is consistently a spike followed by a massive drop and then it levels out way lower.

It may not be herd immunity per se but just the virus working through a population before it cant spread to enough new hosts to continue an equal spread.

If it were that simple, sure. But when people have the attitude of protect the weak, they are essentially saying, "not my problem".. it sure as hell becomes their problem when essential healthcare isn't available because the system is swamped, and people are bickering over whether a death was just collateral damage.

Shutdown redux part 5 still won't convince some that taking a series of marginally effective preventative measures equates to a substantial difference. If it's a pride thing, it just needs to be sucked up for the welfare of the nation.

Well I saw the other day that 50% of Florida’s deaths were from long term residents so we are not doing a good job protecting our sick and weak......if I was in charge: I would clear out SNF that I use strictly for covid patients..... just as soon as someone tests positive that is nursing home appropriate then they get sent to a covid SNF.... move the other patients to other snf’s..... most SNF are under capacity due to government rules right now..... I would also try to do something similar with hospitals.... I understand that is a somewhat more difficult transition...... I would set recommendations: social distancing, masks and such..... I would also help to initiate services to make it easier for people to isolate themselves if they choose to do so.
