I think finding infection rates of 4-6% in a lot of big cities, makes it likely we are not win our second wave as I had hoped. The worst hit city and the biggest example of bad things happening is NYC. They estimated from testing that 21% has had it.

And car crashes too.I just think it’s incredibly amazing how because of Covid-19..... they have managed to basically cure heart attacks, the flu, pneumonia and natural causes.

And where I live in a county of ~300k people where there is heavy tourist traffic, last I heard we've had a total of 43 cases and 1 or 2 deaths.
But...
Back in December and january, almost everyone i knew had the worst case of flu they've ever had.
All I'm saying is the numbers aren't lining up. I'd like to know how many died in my county of "the flu". I've already heard rumor from the hospital staff they lost a lot of flu patients back in January and February.
So we will probably never know for sure.
In the study that two of us are reporting [1], the rates of current smoking remain below 5 % even when main confounders for tobacco consumption, i.e. age and sex, in- or outpatient status, were considered. Compared to the French general population, the Covid-19 population exhibited a significantly weaker current daily smoker rate by 80.3 % for outpatients and by 75.4 % for inpatients. Thus, current smoking status appears to be a protective factor against the infection by SARS-CoV-2.
Trump definitely earned it , most communist president ever in history of US , the wannabe commies like Bernie ,AOC have all been outflanked on the left ,he basically enacted everything they ran on and then some.But you have to admit we are seeing a major flare up of Communism.![]()
And the blind man saw it too. It might be time for your pill.Trump definitely earned it , most communist president ever in history of US , the wannabe commies like Bernie ,AOC have all been outflanked on the left he basically enacted everything they ran on and then some
Wonder where all those fiscally conservative ,no more spending ,tea party Republican shills spent last couple of years.
Rat poison in the food?DeBlasio threatens Christians and Jews if they go to church but bends over for the Muslims at Ramadan and uses taxpayer dollars to do it!

It is far less deadly than originally pushed.

This is the results of a random walk-through antibody test done in Flushing, Queens. The dreaded 'second wave' of the infection had already arrived and passed, around mid-March when the lockdowns began. The larger first wave had blown through completely unnoticed earlier in the year. The strange flu-like illnesses that had been the irritation for many folks this winter has a definite explanation now...

So basically, this economic shutdown is a ploy afterall and the country needs to get back on with life and hold all those with corrupt intentions accountable by imprisonment at the least considering viruses cant be contained and governments can only destroy and stagnate and not save and create. We agree.25% infection of NYC implies 2.5M cases. That's plausible. To get there from a single case would require only 21 doubling periods. There was almost certainly more than a single source of infection; starting with 100 cases would require only 14 or so doubling periods.
A doubling period of 3 days was observed earlier in the outbreak, but that's a tough number to pin down with the scarcity of data (particularly data specific to a tightly-packed urban area). But let's roll with it, and if others was to run the numbers with their own guess, they are free to do so.
14 doubling periods at 3 days/per is... 42 days. That would mean there need be only 100 cases in NYC on March 17th. If the doubling period is actually 6 days, then the first 100 cases were present back around the end of January. That feels much more realistic. A doubling time of 10 days puts the first 100 cases back in early December - less probable, but certainly not impossible.
It is highly unlikely that NYC is in the "second wave", because there has been no event that would have ended the first wave. It is probable that the growth was not perfectly exponential, with an initial latent period with moderate doubling rate, a middle phase with a very short doubling rate (the few weeks prior to the "lockdown", which was anything but), and then the current phase where social behavior and increasingly few fresh victims combine to increase the doubling rate. This yields the left half of the bell curve that forms many models. NYC is probably not quite yet to the right half of the curve. If other urban areas are only at 5% infection rate, then they have quite a ways to go.

They just understand that it’s stupid. They know the truth.I would imagine the top US Officials have already been vaccinated...

US Vice-President Mike Pence has visited a top US hospital without wearing a mask, despite the medical centre's own rules that visitors should wear personal protective equipment.
Mr Pence appeared to be the only person present without a facial covering at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
In a deleted tweet, the clinic said the vice-president had been notified in advance of its policy requiring masks.
Mr Pence leads the White House coronavirus taskforce.
He defended his decision as necessary in order to meet with staff and patients.

if you follow the money far enough you'll see that the same people who own the media own the politicians.Watch what the media says about the states that are letting the shutdown orders expire or begin opening up early.
They will do anything they can to promote fear and disaster in those states. The entire new narrative between now and election day is that Trump and the republicans could have saved us from the virus and they didn't.
No matter what reality is, the MSM will report the opposite - a lie so they can get Butt-Sniffer-Biden in office.
Meanwhile in Ohio, the Governor tweeted to his fellow Ohioans a message reminiscent of something you would see on Captain Kangaroo or Romper Room. He announced a "Virtual Spirit Week" that began last Monday.
He was one of the most anti-gun RINOs until he saw the light and had to get elected governor. Then he embraced all things 2A but tipped his hand last year when he said he would be receptive to a red flag law. He got quiet on that when he found out how pissed off everyone was that voted for him for bringing that up.
With an idiot like this as a Republican it isn't any wonder some idiot democrat would replace him. Mel Brooks on Blazing Saddles made a better Governor.
Really. You cannot make this stuff up. Read the tweet and the replies which are enlightening.

We mentioned in March that "COVID-19 is very vulnerable to UV light and heat." If UV light is proven effective against the virus, we suspect there will be a lot more interest in UV products."The UV part is the easy part," he said. "Trying to get an autonomous robot to walk around without bumping into things and knowing where it is at all times is the hard part. We mastered that a long time ago."
The fact that they need to "research" the effects of UV light on COVID-19 or any type of virus/bacteria/amoeba made me go... Should be a no-brainer.![]()
The question is not whether or not it is effective; it's to determine the necessary dose of UV-C radiation to achieve a particular level of disinfection. There can be considerable variation (like, a couple orders of magnitude) depending upon the surface material and texture, and whether the pathogen is "dry" or suspended in fluids.
But, yeah, given sufficient exposure, UV-C kills stuff dead. Irreversible DNA/RNA damage = no more reproduction.
