Trod comments on Jul 12, 2020:
IMHO, hospitals are over inflating the numbers. If they show it as a COVID death, they can get extra money from the government. So, they pressure these doctors to say that its COVID related death based on a pre existing condition.

"They get $$ from the government"......ummmmm what?

PBuck0145 comments on Jul 13, 2020:
The numbers posted are bogus. The death rate is approximately 1% of THOSE WHO ARE CONFIRMED INFECTED (about 1% of the population). So the death rate will be about 0.01% OF THE POPULATION.

AnneWimsey replies on Jul 13, 2020:
The poster assumes 1% (which was true at one point, just about 6 weeks ago)) as a basis to extrapolate. It might be a good idea to be horrified at just what 1% has brought, and then look up the meaning of "exponential" instead of nitpicking one thing......

(Like shoveling the ocean with a strainer, btw). One day I log in & there is a large pic of me from my private Files with the word "PEDOPHILE" across it & several emails to my private addy, threatening me with bodily harm, including the "Barkley" gal. It was a proud moment for me, as obviously I was impacting their torrent of lies, but also a good lesson that they can go & do exactly what they want to do. Be wary!

WilliamFleming comments on Jul 9, 2020:
Apparently the same phenomenon occurred in the Northeast. From the article: “Many people who die at home are not tested for COVID-19, said Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. In New York City, for example, only 16 percent of the 11,475 ...

The South is stricken, and getting worse. North Carolina, for example. Do you even understand the word "exponential"????? Your constant attempts at minimizing this thing are getting tiring, not to mention what your real agenda is...oh, wait, drump supporter.....many of the things you have Falsely claimed/posted come directly form Faux!

Biden is a Democratic Human Disaster of Historic Proportions who single handedly is destroying the Democratic party and the cause just from his basement.

So people will not panic, and go back to work. Food riots & general riots could easily start if panic sets in.....remember how ugly it got over toilet paper & there was No reason for it? Remember how there was no meat even in Costco? What do you think will happen if Reality appears?
AnneWimsey replies on Jul 9, 2020:
@barjoe no, they're not care about the General Public, nor did I mean to imply I thought so....they care about the Stock Market & their servants serving lobster....which could not happen during major rioting. And sickness

@Fred_Snerd well, I was named after my Mom's sister,(who adopted & raised her), they thought "Anna" was too old-world. Then I married guys named "Smith" & "Young", and "Ann" looked too plain, so I added the "e"....sorry about your theory.......also not a saint, although was accused of it once, by second MIL & FIL.

Mine are still counting those entering/leaving & the state requires masks in businesses, has for quite some time. Sadly assholes are everywhere.

If a person can’t breath through a mask (and there is no real legal definition, so they can basically wear a hanky over their mouth and nose) then wear a damn oxygen mask with a portable tank. If a person is too sickly to wear a mask, they of all people should not be out exposing themselves to ...

Any neurologist will tell you women survive/recover from brain damage (such as a stroke) much better than men because their brains can more easily use/open new areas to make up the deficits, men's are more rigid and cannot "heal". Seems right to me!
