BFD!!! Personally I’m tired of hearing about it. We ran and hid, it sat back and waited. What did you expect. Pneumonia kills hundreds of thousands annually, mostly elderly, and we don’t shut the country down. I’m sick, sick of the bullshit.
About 50,000 die from Pneumonia in the US each year. Over double that have died in less than half a year from COVID-19 and we shut down. https://www.cdc.gov/dotw/pneumonia/index.html
Havent some of those people died of other things but had tested positive for this “new” virus?? Seems the numbers are skewed no matter how you look at it.
do you think it should be news worthy to report all new cases of the chicken pox too
If chicken pox mutates to have a high death rate and no longer be stopped by vaccines, then yes, I would hope the news reports on it.
There are no vaccines for any of the thousands of coronaviruses on earth.. And also the main coronavirus vaccine researcher was killed
I wouldn’t object to being informed of a chicken pox outbreak the flue or anything contagious the information is not the problem, it is how people react to said information. I don’t know if we are overreacting or under reacting but those against informing the public tend to be in the we’re overreacting camp
Why don’t we start a ticker tape of all the way’s people die, every day.
Morbid enough, yet also poignant to note that Cardiovascular disease and Cancer is way more deadly.
Can we get a daily read up on that too?
If the media stops talking about it, maybe we can discuss real long term substantive issues that aren’t such an enormous trigger for so many.
Release the need to grip that COVID WHEEL so tightly.
This is merely giving credibility to those in our state capitals forcing an agenda that will not be good for those who have to deal with living.
There are immunizations for pneumonia but none for Covid-19. Makes a big difference!
My aunt has COPD from smoking most of her life but she doesn’t need to die because of selfish arrogant creeps
Seems your aunt made poor choices. Not my problem! Keep her safe, keep her home. Me, I’m going to live my life to the fullest!!!
False choice.
It’s not either everyone without exception does exactly as they are told or they are out to get your aunt.
Don’t complexify his narrative.
your aunt should wear a mask. should everyone else not drive a car so that my kids dont get in a car accident?
Everyone else driving a car should slow down at stop signs, look before merging, stop at red lights, and otherwise take measures to avoid killing you and your kids in a car accident, yes. Just like how you should wear a mask to avoid killing other people.
Not to not pick, Bushy, but I think you mean, “stop” at stop signs.
California ‘Stops’ means: slowing down.
🕯🌳6,000 new cases in California in a day, 3,115 hospitalized over 300 deaths.La Times. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Always with the death count, how many died today from the following killed by drunk driver, over doses on prescription drugs (legal), children at the hands of adults, illegal drugs, eating disorders, suicide , the flu which we have a vaccine for, auto accidents on and on. Why not put these counts also? I’m sure they are all at epidemic levels every year.
If you want counts for those, I’m sure google can help you.
“People die from other things, so it’s OK if people die from this” is not a useful argument. Also, keep in mind that the death rate is only as high as it is due to extensive measures to slow the infection rate.
That is of course not what “people” say. It’s a rare person who is going to say it’s OK for anyone to die. Except of course those who want to use that phrase to guilt people into doing what they want. What most are mostly saying is that others can’t save everyone. To demand they try to the point they collapse their own lives is wrong. That they put the argument into terms of minimizing the danger does not mean what you say it means. Anymore than you mean it’s fine that people starve because you think dragging the economy into failure protects you.
Just once I’d like to come to these covid forums and actually have an intelligent discussion about the serious situation we are in and how to make it better without the same people spouting the same bs everytime, hijacking the narrative and insulting people who are concerned.
We are experiencing the first serious pandemic in anyones lifetime. A virus that we have no immunity to and is showing itself to be more deadly than first assumed.
Hard to imagine someone blowing that off. Fake body bags, right?.
Some people find 100 mph across a desert in a trophy truck, dangerous, ridiculous, dumb , etc. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and some of us I guess don’t value our lives as much as others. Sorry if this pandemic doesn’t carry enough drama for some of us. Peace out and as I said before I will distance and mask up to apease you dramaqueens, as I laugh my ass off under this silly mask.
That’s the thing alone ranger it’s not all about you , it’s about all the folks that aren’t as lucky in health as you
Old folks and little kids
Not kids. They have been fine.
I dont have the energy to refute the same ol shit but here
https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/2562261/
give it time to do it’s thing
and you are also not acknowledging the fact of the organ damage/blood thickening issues *even with a mild case*
read several testimonials about folks still recovering weeks and months later who have LASTING DAMAGE
I don’t think anyone here is going to take this seriously unless it happens to them or someone they actually care about…if they *do* care about anyone besides themselves
I wonder how many of us will still be around this time next year…
one more little tidbit
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/06/america-sits-on-its-hands-as-covid-19-cases-rise.html
I’m not sure why this reply was to me, but the effects to young people as been minimal; less than a mild flu year.
Here’s California’s numbers:

For your consideration.
Who Checks The FACT CHECKERS?
https://youtu.be/rtirKL_XmGg
What is defined as a legitimate source? and who can be described as an expert when you have no idea how manipulation and herd mentality can make it quite difficult to do and say the right thing.
Gotta control the narrative. Most people don’t critically consume anything; be it food or information. Manipulation of the majority is simple stuff.
As seen here everyday.
Not a challenge to see it, everyday here in the regurgitation of talking points.
Important to know who pays for those fact checkers.
QUI Bono?
Not the little ones with pre existing conditions. A common cold can kill
How about laughing at those people who don’t get a paycheck because their employers laid them off, and don’t have insurance.
Somehow I think laughing at the circus is important, but, playing along will have serious consequences, when they start forcing more concessions from the healthy.
This is so much more than what we think it is.
Desert racing is a choice you can make that puts yourself at risk, rather than putting other innocent people at risk. Whether you value your own life or not is no excuse to harm others.
Yet that is exactly what the isolationist demand- become unemployed, lose your house, closeeducation, create violent crime- it doesn’t matter as long as they feel safe from what they fear.
Speak for yourself. Some of us went through the 1957 Asian flu and the 1968 Hong Kong flu. And went through what was euphemisticly called “usual childhood diseases” of measles, chicken pox and mumps before they were vaccinated into rarity. And polio- I remember that. It is not rational to be so afraid of a pandemic, when most infected recover fine and some who get the infection don’t even know it, that they insist everyone hide in their houses until they feel it’s safe to come out. They are never going to feel safe. The virus will continue to circulate, ready to reappear for years, to scare them back into hiding. You are tougher than you think despite what the press sensationalized. You come from stock that survived much worse.
Older people should take serious steps to limit their own exposure. That is a sensible precaution for them. For people unlikely to be made seriously ill, it is unreasonable to expect them to damage their prospects to protect those that can protect themselves.
An intelligent coversation would be how it is possible to protect the most vulnerable WITHOUT trying to force those, who can see perfectly well that they are unlikely to die of this, into jail. First more and more will refuse to be restricted so it’s a losing strategy. And second most people are aware that trying to funnel money through government to pay people not to work will bring damage to them anyway. So you start- instead of keeping pushing for an impossibility because you want it to be possible, what things do you think would help to increase the security of those who need more protection? I think supporting people for whom it is dangerous to leave home by subsidizing delivery of goods and services would be helpful. Organising safe social groups would be good. You could pay some of the unemployed to take pets into vets, arrange non public school jobs for older teachers, create more meals on wheels for older people…
The best way to protect the most vulnerable from getting sick is to make sure everyone else is also not sick. This is why it’s public health, not Guest’s health.
“You are tougher than you think” You might try having your thinking affected by science, as statistics are a lot more reliable than what you think.
Hopefully we’ll develop an effective vaccine or treatment, and then we can be rid of this. As you point out, we’ve effectively eliminated a lot of diseases through vaccines. What makes you think we won’t develop one for this new disease? There’s no guarantee we will, of course, but it seems likely. We’ve already found a drug that reduces deaths by a third – this is a huge development, and will likely save millions of lives, all due to managing to delay mass infection long enough for studies to be carried out. The longer we can keep delaying, the higher the odds we find even more effective treatments.
As to adding more socialism to our government (what I can only assume you mean by funneling money through government), many would argue that’s a good thing. It is completely unreasonable that one’s ability to make money is entirely dependent on how much money one already has, and that a certain part of the population makes money without working while others work without making money.
Actually what makes me think that a vaccine is unlikely in the timeframe that quarantining will be feasible, it that it has been a less than success for the flu, where the virus mutates every year to create deaths of between 20,000 to 100,000 every year from when the vaccines were first developed. And there has never been a successful corona virus vaccine at all. In fact the one that came close to being perfected was dropped when it turned out that the immunity it created lead to more deaths.
Yes, the discover of the usefulness of dex is a good thing. And postponing illnesses until that can be researched is a good thing. It is simply that the method for achieving that being demanded- mass quarantining- is not possible. You can talk socialism being a good thing,even though those who look at history can’t find one long term success at it, must admit that you can’t redistribute the product of society if you aren’t making any product. If what you mean is “protect me while the rest of you expose yourselves to danger”, well that possibly is real. Except for the level of resentment it creates among those who are forced into risk in service of those refusing it.
Somehow you get confused and totally think of socialism as a whole extreme, not a useful part.
That’s called totalism, I would try to avoid it in anything.
In fact, there are too many examples of mixed economies doing quite well, as there are almost no pure capitalist or socialist economies in existence today.
USA, Germany, UK, Sweden, Italy, China, India, Chile, etc…. are all mixed economic examples.
Using tax monies to improve the US vitality, education and health levels is easily a win-win situation.
Another reason that you can’t always get what you want-
How do you misspell “DMV”?
What an idiot.
Several states have a Bureau of Motor Vehicles instead of a Department of Motor Vehicles. Presumably the photo was taken in one of them.
Thanks Bushy, I was the idiot there! Lol.
If you try sometimes . . . you get what you need.
Looks like this person is trying.
Thanks Researcher, I wish the same.
Comment forums are normally dominated by ignorance and outright stupidity unless moderated with a purpose.
Sucks for us brainy folks.
Smarter than everyone else and humble too. You’re amazing!
And yet, as brainy as you are, unable to unravel the complex code of BMV (and called someone else an idiot over it). Hmmm… Dunning-Kruger?
Yeah, I assumed a CA pic, and as a CA resident, I’m unfamiliar with BMVs.
Bushytails explained the acronym, and unlike many here, I understand I was mistaken and why, and say, “woops, I did it again”, sorry.
Try it sometime.
And yes, “Franken-nazi” comments are downright stupid.
I know my value and I’m not underselling.
🕯🌳As of Tuesday June 23,2020 for the state of California confirmed cases 191,416 and rising, Deaths 5,627 and rising, Hospitalized 1,515 a rising all due to opening up to soon or without proper restrictions. Alot is due to community transmission.🚑🛐
And over 39 million did not get sick or die. But a whole lot more will get sick sooner or later because there are no possible strategies to prevent it. Only delay it. It’d would be better to harangue the politicians into supporting vaccine research or mobile hospitals, develop safer care techniques in hospitals, provide education campaigns in poor and/or rural areas, plan for schooling, etc. All of which resources are harmed with frittering away money on policies that can not work for the many months needed to get through this.
Thank you Bushytails, Furies, Researcher and Willie Bray. That this public health crisis has been made into a political issue baffles and alarms me. Wearing a mask just isn’t that hard. It does not violate your sacred right to do whatever you want, regardless of possible harm to others. Also thank you Kym, for introducing some verifiable facts
And yesterday California shattered its one day new infections. This thing isn’t going away and is getting worse when it was expected to slow down. Wearing a mask can be a pain but getting covid, or even worse, giving it to your sick grandmother, that’s a pain no one should have to go through.
When you protect yourself you are also protecting others. When you don’t you are saying FY to those you love.
Care to address the issue of cardiovascular and cancer deaths, that is a multi billion dollar industry?
Covid is such an easy game to play.
https://www.mintpressnews.com/newsguardneocon-backed-fact-checker-plans-to-wage-war-on-independent-media/253687/
Please explain why the majority of food being sold in our supermarkets could essentially be saying the same thing to your family.
“FY, you ignorant , poor, working class peasants and children of working class peasants”
If people spent enough time with a critical mindset, they would see the sheer toxicity of our modern corporate food supply chain.
Educate yourself and your children, adults may be too far gone from this realization.
You are what you eat.
If your food is processed, packaged, and has more than 1 ingredient, and a shelf life of over a few week, you may have no idea why cardiovascular disease and cancer is way more important than this Covid hype.
“Bad luck, bad timing, bad parenting, bad schooling, with multiple helpings of bad choices, make a rational discussion of health and wellness almost impossible to explain or comprehend.”
Common sense; Very uncommon. What part of “it’s up to you to protect you and your loved ones”, “not me” don’t you understand.
Well, for one, I don’t even understand what you’re trying to say or how it relates to the post you replied to.
@ Kym,
I think you missed approving one of my comments here, a reply to “researcher” desiring a different commenting space.
just behind. Busy morning.
You know guys, I’m done responding to covid deniers. I’ve let them get under my skin and derail the conversation. From now on I’m just going to post information I’m learning about how to deal with covid. And I’ve been discovering some interesting stuff about when and where the EU strain broke off from the Wuhan strain. Plus understanding why the mask is so important right now. Stuff like that. When peeps jump in with ‘dramaqueen’ or ‘be a man’ I will send them love and go back to the good stuff.
