Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

We do ask everyone to be reasonable and respectful. People obviously have different opinions, but we are all in this together.
Worth repeating here. We are devolving rapidly guys.

As for Honor, I wish he was right, and he's not taking unwarranted victory laps. Further, he's even saying he was wrong, which isn't a common thing these days. Just maybe that's a bad hill to napalm as though he were doing such things.

Jesus. I didn't ask if you were happy that you were wrong, fucktard. I asked if you were happy now that you've let yourself admit it. And while I'm at it....I wasn't right about anything. I didn't make a definitive comment about it being the next plague vs it being the sniffles. So I have nothing to be happy about.

But to answer my own question for you...I guess you're not. Which makes sense....because those relieving moments I was talking about came with the realization that I was wrong and that it's ok to be wrong, whereas you clearly haven't had that realization yet, fucktard.

You're so close to being self aware.

For that, I’m grateful.

The death rate has been relatively flat for the last four weeks or so:

Which gets back to the nuance of the data. Much like when we said it was NY/Detroit more than most places, the decline of cases in NYC is misrepresenting the overall numbers. We're not plateauing in other states consistently, and of greater concern, we aren't dropping.

And we still have inconsistent reporting of data. We need to know all nursing home deaths, so we can properly track the volume of deaths for severity, and for tracking how disproportional the impact is among those close to death (vs the rest).

It won't drop until the monetary incentive to having covid cases and deaths is dropped.

Look, I understand that you want to get back to work, but to pretend this is a common cold is just flat out fucking ignorant. Yes, the common cold and COVID19 are both a coronavirus, but that's where the similarity ends.

And here's a comparison of the difference in contagiousness between it and a common flu strain:

You’ll never convince everyone that “Coronaviruses” aren’t all the same any more than “gram negative bacteria” aren’t all the same, because it doesn’t fit their worldview.

Yes, because hospitals have clearly been prioritizing money making for the past two months. :roll1:

But please, tell me more about how both sides of my family have been lying about covid cases. I'm sure that accuser has all of the facts on their dirty deeds.

I just figured bringing up posts from when this started where this was supposedly not even as bad as the flu was relevant to the graphic you posted showing that we wish this were just the flu. Maybe some learning had taken place and some people who hasn't taken it seriously before could start doing so. Clearly that was a stupid thought.
