Coronavirus uses same strategy as HIV to dodge immune response, Chinese study finds
Both viruses remove marker molecules on surface of an infected cell that are used to identify invaders, according to Chinese researchers
This commonality could mean Sars-CoV-2 may be around for some time, they say.

Once again I compelled to ask; what is the numerical age of this individual? “Very elderly” is not a number. Since 43% of all C19 deaths affected .6% of the population don’t you think this is a reasonable question? Why the reluctance to state their age? What are you hiding? Did you think your 15 minutes of fame would last forever? Come on county, fess up.

US census data: 13% of the population is 75 years old or older. This group makes up 43% of Covid-19 deaths. The 0.6% of pop. is an understatement by twenty two times. And so what! Is the, only ‘0.6%’ of the population made to insinuate those deaths are, “much to do about nothing”. In this moment, for this person family, if you are going to minimize their death, at lest get your facts right.

Two point one million Americans live in nursing homes, which is .62% of the population, and are 43% of C19 deaths. In fact, if it weren’t for democrat governors mandating C19 patients to house with the most vulnerable we’d be looking at an even lesser percentage.

43% of deaths are in the 75+ age group. A fairly small portion of that group, by your stat, 4.6% live in congregate housing. That’s only one in twenty-five. I’m sure a disproportional portion of those deaths are from congregate housing. Following public health measures during a pandemic is not giving up your freedom. It is an act of caring and a civic responsibility. The reason that there are ‘only’ 100,000 deaths is because of the severe mitigation measures, without which the deaths would have been many times that. Opening up the economy without having it lead to many more thousands of preventable deaths, will require continuing mitigation and widespread sentinel testing. Doing your patriotic part is saving many lives. The 75+ age group are our elders, not collateral damage.

Nonsense. There are consequences for every government action and it’s not all to the good by far. All these restrictions to keep the virus at bay have ripples that effect everyone. Are children never going to go to school? When will it be safe for them? Tomorrow? A month from now? 6 months from now? Will a person who has invested years of their lives and most of their earnings into a hair salon or restaurant be forced to abandon their business because the government has in essence ordered them out of business? Will people move on from the hard work needed to produce the Kinetic Sculpture Race or Humboldt Co Fair because of the indefinite restrictions on crowds? Will people’s frustrations over being prevented from socializing lead to violence, substance abuse or depression? Will charities fold because unemployment hits them with a double whammy of loss of funding and great demand? Will an older person wait to go to the hospital out of fear of contracting the virus and die from a stroke because they waited? There are a million consequences that can’t flicked off by announcing it will save lives when nothing being done will prevent the spread of the virus- just slow it down. And that presumption of slowing is only a guess too. These actions don’t just slow disease spread. They slow everything good too.

Adapt to forced orders and abolished freedoms while hiding in fear and giving up our income and dreams of prosperity. Yep. We all need to adapt to these new conditions because this is not only the new norm, but the future. Well said Karen. For every business that re opens, 5 close permanently. For every job opportunity that opens, 100 are left without a job. There will be no more stimulus checks. Unemployment payments are already drying up….remember, sacrifice your life and your family’s well being so old and diseased people can live for another 3 years. Yes 😁, we are fuked.

People in elder care congregate centers need protection. Apparently all the deaths here so far are from these setting. But the question is how to do it when so many people who live outside the home come in and out every day to provide services. As long as the virus is circulating, the chance of a mistake allowing it in is always there.

I recently read that the CDC is going to have to revise the number of deaths from Covid-19. The numbers of people who died with Covid-19 from the number of people who died from Covid-19 is many. No one likes to hear that someone died and condolences to the family. But no one should want their family, friends or neighbors to face financial ruin either. When did we stop being the land of the free and home of the brave to the land of the controlled and home of the craven.

Of course they will; Colorado and New Jersey just called them out for overstating their state’s death toll by 22%. In other words, the CDC can’t count death certificates. Counting, the only truly precise form of measurement we have and bureaucrat clowns can’t even get that right.

🕯🌳This is why people need to go out to get tested. Some of the people going in and out of these places haven’t been tested, but there family members or even visiting physicians,with staff. There things that get delivered there as well and if there not using some kind of sanitation procedure on deliveries theirs also another way it can creep in.🖖🌍🐸

A person can be not infectious one day and infectious the next. If they go into an elder care facility pretty much most days, a test may catch it eventually but the chances are good not before a resident has been infected and infected others. So no, until and unless a rapid test is available, testing will not solve the problem.

Yesm exactly… And with the oversterilization of everything including our bodies people will continue to get sick and sicker and even from simple bugs otherbthan covid folks will need extra care.mm and masking our children in schools will exacerbate the problem. As a part of the flora and fauna we need to b exposed to germs and such to evolve with the planet.. Perhaps thats why covid is taking so many out esp in america.. We are overly unhealthy eating fake nasty low nutrient food and sterilizing everything.. And therefor we are weak.

There have always been contagions that were deadly. I would not go back to the days of “typical childhood diseases” because the people who survived them were stronger. I went through most of those diseases and I’m just as vulnerable to this new one as anyone else. There are choices of actions between the extremes of “let the strong survive” and “protect everyone” simply because neither is real. The “strongest” don’t always survive nor is it possible to protect everyone.

Instead of shutting down everything and trying to micromanage the unmanageable, government should be focusing on developing a stratagem for to minimize the spread to those to whom it is more certainly deadly while letting those who generally can deal with it get on with their lives because they are the people that provide the wherewithal for everyone. If course removing such severe restrictions on people will certainly create more cases. It’s not a perfect solution. That is the nature of a contagious disease. It’s not controllable without perpetual and effective restrictions that will never be possible in a country like the US. Eventually, slowly with restrictions or fast without them, pretty much everyone will be exposed until an effective vaccine is widely available.

Yeah, I’m in agreement with your idea about attempting to be over-sterilized. But, there’s another point.

The huge numbers in America are because we are able to scientifically and politically prove the validity of those numbers. Which nations are under-reporting?

So you think that places that report lower death rates are under reporting? Since the virus does not discriminate by country? Or could it be that different places have different standards for what constitutes a covid-19 death? “In the United States, which has the highest death toll in the world at more than 50,000, the counting method varies from one state to another: while New York counts deaths in care homes, California does not.” And “That lack of differentiation has been a bone of contention between the national institute which oversees epidemics and some of the country’s regions which presented lower death tolls because they carried out autopsies in order to determine the precise cause of death.”

Hey Gust…What CDC stand for?? Isn’t that the outfit that YOUR president literally destroyed to the point where they can hardly do their job…….And….. as far as ”surviving a disease makes you stronger” Next time you meet a Childhood disease survivor…. of polio, say maybe, one that literally lost an arm , or both legs… Ask them if that limb works just fine , and ask to see their muscles….Ask them if they feel stronger than ever….[Edit]

Do you think the CDC is immune from corruption?.

I’m sure there was a good reason for cutting funding.

Like cutting the funding for the military industrial complex in peace time.

Like cutting the allowance to the kid who does repeated bad stuff.

One thing that was interesting in a link Kym used to say that the 1957 Asian flu virus was less deadly than the Covid-19 virus included a history of the CDC failing to identify that pandemic either nor institute protocols in the exact same way in both cases. Frankly despite the desire to blame Trump for everything, the CDC has failed most of the time with any pandemic. Despite the press’s desire to encourage that idea by lionizing them as a better alternative to Trump, they are a political organization that switched funding to document racial disparities rather than pandemic science under Obama, bioterrorism under Bush, and I’m sure just about every president did the same since it started.

The daily rate of deaths in USA, pre Covid, is 7254, more than 50,000 per week. (Google it. Somehow, this statistic is never mentioned anywhere. ).
We live our lives, and, at some point, we pass on. Live each day as best as you can…be kind& helpful. Life is a circle from birth to death. Our culture ignores, denies& fears death. There are compelling stories from intelligent credible people who have experienced death/near death& have written about it.
Wear your mask, keep distance, be calm&kind, helpful& strong.
