Norway has.

The neighbour of Sweden you know?

Averaging 5 infected the last days.

3 people needing respirator now.

Early testing and lockdown, not like the Donald denial policy.

5.4 million inhabitants

I never mentioned Case Fatality Rate.

You were talking about IFR of 0.2% on the CDC web site. But the CDC web site doesn't say IFR. It says CFR of 0.2%.

So show me what you you were referring to on the CDC web site.

You’re looking it, sweetie.

The state is worried about the health of the protesters due to Covid.

Yep.

The same state that is beating, tear gassing, shooting those same protesters.

Many other nations have beaten the virus.

China reported zero deaths in the entire month of May. Industrial production is almost back to pre-pandemic levels and they are holding dance parties in the streets of Wuhan.

Meanwhile, the virus has so far killed over 108,000 Americans. Our streets are full of protesters. The president is threatening to send US troops against our own US citizens, and millions face eviction from their homes.

Behind it all is the fact that Americans chose to let the virus run rampant through our nation. It has destroyed lives, destroyed our economy, destroyed hopes, and destroyed dreams.

If we had just stayed home a little longer then our streets would see dancing instead of screaming.

It's over. The virus scare was BS. Give it up.

I apologize. I had you mixed up with WWRD.

That's great!

You should call the families of the 1,100 people who died yesterday and let them know.

FH,

you're wasting your typing energy engaging with numbnuts GC. He / she is convinced that all objective reality is defined by what he / she can see, touch, taste, feel and smell. Anybody who gets sick or dies outside his / her immediate vicinity did not really get sick or die. If a sick person dies in a hospital, and GC's not there to see him die, did he ever really die at all? Deep philosophical questions like these light the spark inside GC's addled brain bucket...

Yes, and unfortunately he's not alone.

Yes.

I do base my views on what I see in real life, not on TV.

Three plus months into this "pandemic" and still don't know a soul who has gotten sick from it.

The TV is controlled by the oligarchs who use fear and lies to push their agendas. How long does this have to go on before you wake up?

R U still looking for those WMDs? Saddam's nukes?

Wake up

If we could just get people to wear masks in public, social distance, protect those high risk for death, get tested regularly, trace positives and quarantine them, we wouldn’t have to lockdown everyone and destroy our economy.

Curious as to when you imposed your personal lockdown. Was it when Kemp called for it or did you do it much earlier?

And how much longer should Americans have been completely licked down. What would the criteria be to end lockdown according to experts?

(1) Well, then a whole lot of the world doesn't objectively exist for you I guess.

(2) Nearly 20 years ago on here I firmly challenged the Bush administration's assertions about WMDs in Iraq. I was roundly ridiculed for my "ignorance" then.

6/2 Data

We're starting to see a significant reversal in the data. For around 6 weeks we saw steady improvement, virtually every day. In the 7 day rolling average of daily deaths.

But for the last week or so the numbers first plateaud and now they are starting to tick back up again, in the wrong direction.

Which is probably what the pessimists predicted when things started opening up again in late April and May.

The direction is not good.

US hit a low of 983 deaths per day on May 30 and now we're up to 1050 per day.

The world hit a low of 4117 on May 30 and now we're up to 4228 per day.

The tight correlation between the world and the US continues to be one of my biggest questions. Why do they move so closely? We are around 25% of the total so that's part of it but not all of it.

Brazil marked more deaths yesterday than the US. That doesn't happen often.

I will say that I've seen a few notes that nations and US states are going back through their old data and reclassifying. That results in more deaths, all marked on the add-on day. So the hope is that once we get through this data modification period the numbers will fall back. That this worsening is only a data illusion.

But case counts around the world keep climbing relentlessly so I'm not optimistic.

In the rankings Brazil keeps moving up. Up to 20th worst after being 28th worst 2 weeks ago.

No change in the ranking of the few US states I'm tracking. Strange how stable the US states are. Maybe you can pee in the deep end and not have it affect the shallow end.

As an American, I will stand in line to be completely licked down for as long as it takes.

Fat, I don't know if you've noticed, but many people have been dancing in the streets here in the US in many of our major cities, so I suppose we can declare victory, as well.

The protests/riots might just be what we're looking for. The protesters appear to be quite young, so not likely to clog up our hospitals, all while advancing us toward herd immunity. Not to mention, they have the full support of the media, unlike the "anti-lockdown" protestors.

Couldn't have planned it better, myself!

Is that supposed to make sense?

Giles Corey wrote:Is that supposed to make sense?

GC, I have no idea what makes sense to you. I'm afraid that's a lost cause...

Apparently you think that because I recognized early on the fear campaign pushed on us in connection with Covid for what it is I therefore don't think the world exists "objectively".

Now that makes no sense.

I fixed that to say what you mean.

Yes, GC, I'm afraid it's true, the objective world doesn't register inside your skull. Some alternate reality lives there. If that makes you happy, I think that's great for you.
