We hit a milestone We now have two times as many that recovered from it then those that died with CV

Or the person who happens to have CV died from diabetes. If it weren’t for diabetes he would have survived CV. So therefor diabetes killed em and not CV. And judging from anti-bodies testing millions of people has survived CV without even knowing it.

Yeah that arrogant Cuomo kind of let that one slip out concerning NY that about 20 percent there has tested positive for antibodies.

JimmyC · 2020-04-26T16:26:04.690Z

We’re testing 300,000 - 400,000 people per day now? Where are you seeing that information?

I know two people who were under 40 no preexisitng conditions who both died of covid within 48 hrs of admintant to the hospital.

Didn’t know them personally. One a best friend of an friend the other a coworker of a friend.

There are going to be exceptions, cases, to every trend. They are called anomalies and thrown out by scientists and other True Believers in the Data.

Sorry…but not buying it.

My comment stands.

As for preexisting diseases…you don’t know that.

And I also find it ironic. with less then .02 percents of populations out of 330 plus million people that died from CV you know 2 of them?

WuWei · 2020-04-26T17:26:36.183Z

Know of.

I live in NJ and have friends in NYC. So…we’re what, like half of the cases in the US?

As I said, I didn’t know them personally.

I know about 8 people tangentially who have died of COVID.

Two people from my town, one of whom I saw at our weekend coffee shop just about every weekend. Knew him enough to chat.

Two close friends had parents die, both in homes.

The two young people I already mentioned,

A music instructor who my daughter’s drum teacher knew somehow. (this was another person who passed almost immediately upon going to the hospital, which is odd).

Maybe that’s it…7…I think I’m forgetting someone.

I know a handful of people who had COVID and recovered. I know more who probably had COVID but never got tested, including an employee.

Honestly, I think individual geographic location colors our views on this pandemic. It’s a much more ever-present thing for people in my region. It literally feels like it’s everywhere.

conan · 2020-04-26T18:32:33.290Z

Yes, but you don’t know their health history…whether they had some preexisting illness.

Sadly I’m knowing more and more people that’s dying.

As that chart that I’ve been posting. do you expect that 8 thousand less New Yorker’s died of other illness from same time last year? Or are they reclassifying those deaths? And if so why? What gain do they have from heart disease to CV? Or from cancer to CV? Or diabetes to CV?

Are we going to see tens of thousand less deaths from those diseases this year then last?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2020-04-26T18:33:58.843Z

The chart that you’ve been posting is not limited to just deaths from illness. Did you notice that part?

It is unquestionable that there have been less homicides and accidents since the shutdown started.

For example, there hasn’t been a single homicide in Miami in 7 weeks. How do you think that compares to last year?

conan · 2020-04-26T19:20:00.544Z

Doesn’t change the fact that it dropped from 13 thousand between mid March to mid April to about 5000…and CV have filled in that 8000 deaths.

Deny it all you want…but doesn’t change those facts.

conan:

What are you rambling on about?

CV saved about 8000 people in NY state from dying from other causes last month.

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Plagiarism. And problematic. And hypocritical.

By watching the daily briefings and keeping up with the “Americans Tested” numbers on several sites.

Total Test Conducted in U.S.

5,184,635

That was an increase of about 1.2M over early Wednesday Afternoon.

And I suppose that’s causing what looks like a 2nd peak for the country as a whole.
The figure I’ve heard most often among the “experts” is 10 times the actual number of infected vs the confirmed.
Do you think that sounds about right?
Should it matter as it relates to the timing of mitigation lifting?
I don’t think we really know where we’re at - and that’s what worries me the most.

WildRose · 2020-04-26T21:56:36.722Z

No, I think by the time it’s said and done it’s going to be 20-50x the earliest estimates with at least 25-30% of the country showing antibodies once we roll out the nationwide titer testing and get a few million results from randomized locations all across the country, likely even more.

The big question that remains is how much immunity will be present with a titers above/below X.

If strong immunity is prevalent among most a recurrence will be minor at best.

Knowing what we now know about when this virus emerged I’m all but certain the first cases probably arrived between Dec-15/Dec 30 so the pandemic was simply inevitable.

Remember we didn’t even have the Genome of this virus until Dec 31, a test a few days later but only in enough numbers to test then “suspected cases” and those involved in tracking/tracing for close association with the repatriated cases.

We didn’t even have confirmation of a single organic case in the US until January 30th and very likely many hundreds or even thousands of carriers had slipped into the country in the six weeks prior completely undetected.

Remember China and WHO hid the fact there was clear evidence of “community spread” until Jan 31 in spite of proof being provided weeks earlier by Taiwan and with the rapid spread that went unreported in China and remains so to this day it was obvious they knew at least 4-6 weeks prior.

SixFoot · 2020-04-26T21:59:49.865Z

I hear 9 out of every 10 who die of the China Virus had preexisting illnesses.

Coronavirus: Nine in 10 dying have existing illness

Heart disease is the most common underlying condition, followed by dementia and respiratory illness.

Your Wednesday number must be off. During Thursday’s White House briefing VP Pence said “On the subject of testing: At the present moment, we have reports of 4.93 million tests having been performed across America”. Even if that was the number as of Wednesday there is no way there could have been a 1.2M increase in the number of tests since then; if so we’d be at over 6M tests now.
