Covid deaths to surpass 300,000 DEAD by December. People are still downplaying it.

3 million would be 1%, not 300k. But this thing is so contageous that everyone will catch it within the next year. We need to live our lives.

To the COVID deniers and fringe right wingers, please congregate with other right wingers and please contract COVID. Oh, and please feel free to drop dead from it, which will make this world a much better place. Maybe head out to Sturgis for the big rally and all. Giddeyup, you filthy animals.

Wishing death on others whilst complaining about death. The future is in the hands of woke hypocritical nuts.

Nobody knows how many people died of covid because sars-cov2 is blamed whether it's the cause or not.

Stop pretending to forget this.

It's seriously so disgusting. The people who want to claim the moral high ground for caring about human lives reveal themselves to be hateful and angry people who actually root for others to die.

They won't admit it either, but they actually often hope for lots of people to die of covid, not even just people they disagree with. They see that as some sort of 'winning'. It's so sick.

Ro (R-nought or R-zero) is what you need to know. That is the reproductive rate. The Ro of COVID-19's Ro is between 2 and 6. The Ro flu the seasonal flu is about 1.5. The Spanish Flu of 1918 had an Ro of ~ 2.

What Ro means: Ro = 3 means each infected person infects 3 other people. Those three can each infect 3 other people.

Now, you are free to hang out with others who think like you do ... as long as they agree to trade tainted breath with you ... become a leper and stick with your own kind.

What you are NOT free to do is to forcibly hang out with people you could care less about in your hope to infect them and giggle while you wait to see if they survive or not. If "you" can manage to stay away from others, then there is no problem. But if "you" insist on trying to infect other against their will you are not going to survive. It will come to that ... guns, bats and knives to keep the lepers like you in your place.

We can safely say there have been less than 2,600 cases.

You nailed it, no seriously well done.

Yes, because zero fatalities is quite a bit less than 2600.

You've lost the plot my dude. This is really very funny to read. Take heed everyone! You are NOT free to "forcibly hang out with people you could care less about"! If you even TRY, you'll get... guns, bats and knives!

That's why I try to stay away from people with heart disease.

I heard it's highly contagious as well as deadly.

everybody knows that ~150k more people have died this year in the US than normal.....

stop pretending to forget this.

and yes, by far the most likely explanation is they died from COVID .. the few thousand deaths that may have caused by the lock down clearly don't add up to 150k.

they might add up to 2,600. ......but 150,000.

I had a friend who said that 300,000 still isn't even 1% of the US's population and that it's not "that bad". I'm convinced that we could see 3M dead and people still wouldn't care and would still call it fake.

Nearly half of those have been people in nursing homes who likely had less than 2 years left to live anyway. Not saying we should dismiss it as nothing, but it truly is not anywhere as big of a deal as the media and general public is making it out to be.

Does anyone know how 300,000 stacks up against average excess mortality in the US in the last few years? The reason people are somewhat blase about this (including me) is that the median age of death is around 80. The vast majority of deaths are people that likely would have died within a few months. All deaths are horrible but this aint the Spanish flu or even the Asian flu of 1957-1958 which actually killed younger people and many pregnant women. I read somewhere that the median age of COVID related death in BC is 85 which is 5 years more than the average life expectancy. Unless you are very old, obese or high risk due to co-morbidities then frankly you don't have much to worry about.

And "you" are the only one who matters here. So what about those 300,000 people who aren't you. That's like all those dead Marines at Iwo Jima who also weren't "you". What a country.

Only more Americans died in WW2 - and that was over several years not a few months. Yeah, it's not that "big of a deal". Particularly if you don't care about your fellow citizens. That's the American way now.

Threads like this show why America has more deaths from the virus than any other country and has handled the crisis as bad as anyone could. And this from a country of wealth and top scientific expertise. Many countries that were hard hit are finding ways to come out of the worst of it. But not so the US. You are in for a long dark night. Stupidity, denial and selfishness are as American as apple pie. And it's a poisoned pie.

Yet you are obsessed with us. Why? Mind your own business. Stick to race baiting, your specialty.

That's 2,600 more than I have seen in my life

700,000 died of heart disease last year. That is way more than 150,000 or 300,000. Experts agree that most deaths from heart disease are preventable while this from Covid 19 can only be postponed, not prevented because everyone will be infected over the next year. 600,000 die of cancer. 170,000 die from accidents. If we stopped all leisure driving, 1/2 of those deaths woukd be avoided. If we ate healthier and exercised more, 1 million lives woukd be saved.
