Coronavirus thread

Reasonable measures, largely implemented by employers, and by governments over public spaces, is fine with me, if it all stays Constitutional.

We can’t be chucking our entire way of life and culture out the window every time a marginally dangerous bug shows up tho.

I'm going to point out that this is an area we agree on. I hope most feel that way, but at times the slogans, snark, etc.. make that unclear.

It’s no worse than a bad flu - prove otherwise with actual data.

1 in 1,000 New Yorkers are dead within 2 months.
1 in 1,000 from New Jersey are dead within 2 months.

The irony of all this is that it actually confirms one of StA's old hobby horses, which is that being overweight and diabetic is an extremely dangerous condition.

People who spent their whole lives not giving a damn red cent about their health are dying. Quelle fucking suprise.

I'm 6'1" and 185lbs. I exercise. I have never smoked. I'm also diabetic.

Fuck you with your sanctimonious shit about not giving a damn about my health.

Let me rephrase: No serious person that isn't a confirmed and relentless troll is (et cetera).

Well, that condition severely limits the population here.

That's the problem, there is testing out there saying that the number of cases has increased, but the death toll has not. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/nyre ... st-ny.html

1 in 5 may have been infected by COVID already... That means 1,680,000 of people in NY may already of had COVID.... now if we take that into consideration,we would have to take the Southern, Eastern, and Western states and round out about 1/5th of their population of having COVID without being tested, which I have no issue doing, but it still doesn't increase the death tolls...

But we have to come to an agreement that 1/5 of the country already has COVID tested or not... and that the numbers we have now are a minimum count.

Wait. Didn't you exclude New York from some of your previous calculations because they were an outlier (not the term you used, but it was something like that). Now you want to not only include New York but use it to apply across the entire US.

If 1/5 of NY has it and 25,000 people there have died, you cannot extrapolate that to "well, if everyone gets it no more people will die". If 4/5 have yet to catch it and eventually do, then you are looking at potentially 125,000 deaths in New York alone.

If you are 6'1 and 185lbs then you aren't overweight and diabetic, and you have been taking care of your health, so you clearly do not fall under the rubric of my comment.

Early look at data from 100 New York hospitals shows that 66% of new admissions related to the virus are people who were at home, Cuomo said.

He also said a majority of the cases in New York City are minorities, with nearly half being African American or Hispanic.

Cuomo said nearly 84% of the hospitalized cases were people who were not commuting to work through car services, personal cars, public transit or walking. He said a majority of those people were either retired or unemployed. Overall, some 73% of the admissions were people over age 51.
