Actually you do. When the grass and weeds are left to grow wildly they create serious health hazards by creating perfect habitat for Mosquitoes, Flies and Hairy Vermin like Mice, Rats, and Skunks.
We have more testing. It is expanding exponentially by the day right now including the rapid tests that are now being deployed nationwide to just about every hospital and clinic with a lab in the country as well as all the Federal, State and University labs.
Wrong on both counts. The Flu spreads much easier as it is airborne and very persistent on surfaces.
When itās all said and done the mortality rate of CCCV will be very close to H1N1 on a bad year with approximately the same number of deaths as we had from the flu last year in total.
If we assume a national population of 360M and accept youāre 1.2% estimate, that would be 4,320,000 deaths in the next month.
Just pointing out what 1.2% means so we can make sure everyone is okay with that.
Given that more than 4 million people are likely to die under your plan, what is your proposal for allocating healthcare resources in the next thirty days. Who gets. a hospital bed? Who gets a ventilator?
If we want to get serious about re-opening the company letās talk through how it should work from a practical standpoint.
Whether anyone is āokā with that is irrelevant. The claim is that we would be ādoomedā and that isnāt remotely true, itās nothing but hyper-emotional histrionic nonsense.
As a nation weāve survived days where tens of thousands of Americans died in in a 24-48 hour period or more when our population was less than half what it is today. Not only did we survive those losses we rapidly became the worlds single most powerful nation and have remained so since.
We are still behind the curve on testing and the goals that are set keep getting pushed back. I think Pence said we would have 4 million tests about 3 weeks ago.
Just 2 weeks ago you said we should be at about a million tests a day by now. Arenāt you disappointed in this?
The endless fighting to attribute blame for a much lower death rate suggests that the first thing any plan for a quick re-opening has to address is to gain consensus on what is an acceptable rate of casualties.
I just turned the math into an actual number (not a percentage) and suggested we need to figure out if that is acceptable. If this is what the āLiberateā supporters are offering, let them make their case. I was using wild roseās estimate. I didnāt opt to use a higher one.
I was more interested in the story that followedā¦that COVID is causing some patientsā kidneys to shut down.
Another thing that makes this more dangerous than the fluā¦survivors of more serious illness may be left with lingering issues those that get sick with flu donāt have to deal with.
We had well in excess of 4 million tests long ago. Having X number of tests does not equal the same number of people being tested, it merely means theyāve been produced and distributed.
Unless and until the FDA approves enough private, state, and university labs to get our daily testing capability up in excess of 1 million per day weāll continue to lag behind.
Shall we simply bypass the FDA entirely? Shall we do as other countries which rushed ahead and approved tests that have 40-50% error rates?
The rapid test that takes about 15 minutes to show you have developed antibodies to the virus has already been distributed to each of the states and now itās a matter of the states getting them to the testing locations where they are needed.
