This ain't just the flu...
that's almost a typical flu YEAR in two weeks........with a lockdown in effect.

No kidding - it's a very strong respiratory virus that's wrecking havic primarily on the elderly and those with serious pre-existing medical conditions.
OTOH, people shouldn't feel powerless to do anything other than acting like sitting ducks. Eat a healthy diet (dump the junk food!), exercise, increase vitamin D3 levels and get good sleep - all will strengthen the immune system.
What I hate is seeing people paralyzed in fear acting as if they can't do anything other than becoming another statistic!

Good post!
One of the main issues is the way we are all just lying down crying impotence, watching daily stats, we need a vaccine before we can come out of our holes and get the economy going etc.
There should be more positivity. What can we do to increase our chances of not needing treatment if we get it ? Maybe we could save a lot of lives by this.
My brother for example has stopped drinking and smoking (asthmatic) and has a reasonable chance now if he gets it, of not having severe complications.
More folk should be being proactive on all of this, and more journalists should be focusing on all of this, rather than just death rates.

Why you got to be that guy? In "two week" and "in the 6 weeks since the beginning" aren't the same.

Nope. They're openly making stuff up at this point, found 6,000 deaths they never tested, decided to say they must have been covid.
Face this fact: next to none of the 20,000 deaths have been confirmed caused by covid-19. You need a medical examiner to verify that.
No more fascism. This ends now.

Wigs, I know you’re just a professional contrarian, but for anyone wondering, physicians typically determine cause of death, not a medical examiner.
Presumed Covid related or linked deaths.
Presumed.
Related.
Linked.
This was you can overstate vastly the number of "Covid deaths", thus pushing the official narrative.

not possible to do social distancing effectively in NY and that's where most of the deaths are

Take a day to actually think
Idiots! These people did not die of Coronavirus. In the US everyday about 7,500 people die, corona or no corona. Now, most of the so called corona victims are belong to those 7,500 who would have died anyway. They just switched the label. Example: Three months ago- 90 year old man dies. Cause of death: old age(which is true). Today: 90 year old man dies. Let’s check his blood see if he has the corona virus, if he does, regardless whether the corona caused anything or not- “Cause of death Corona!”
Three months ago- 70 year old woman dies of metastatic cancer. Cause of death: cancer. Today- same woman dies of cancer, let’s check her blood for corona virus- hay! she Has the virus! Let’s write cause of death corona.
This is how it’s done you idiots. They try to pump and fuel this hoax, this weakened flu. Frightened citizens are obedient citizens

Even if you were right (which you're not) I'd say the same thing.
You're relentless and boring. The forum has reached a critical mass of people like you (low social skills, limited IQ, delusions of grandeur) and now it's just a writhing mass of high pitched squeaking about subjects far beyond the squeaker's comprehension.
Those right wing websites sure do a good job of convincing poorly educated people that they're the smart ones and everyone else is wrong, stupid and easily manipulated.
If it wasn't so irritating, the irony would be incredibly comedic.

Why must you never address the actual points I make? Why are you so triggered into emotional, fact free responses?' Name calling and labeling?
I will tell you why. You have been programmed to do so by the establishment and are apparently incapable of independent thought.

It's been 2 months! All reports are that the virus hit earlier than we realized, New York Times other outlets! It's going to top out at about 50,000
And that's with vigorous counting
We had 80000 flu deaths 2 years ago
If we counted the same way it would have been 120000
Seriously how don't you get that the numbers are already in Decline, we hit the peak, it sucks that we had or have a second serious respiratory virus equal to the flu. But clearly from the numbers it's not worse than the flu. How can you not understand that?
You realize they're estimating 60,000 deaths and the estimates keep coming down!!!
The lockdown has done very little! It hit earlier than we realized! Guaranteed we'll all be back 2 normal in a month and there won't be any big spike.
The whole point of the lockdown was just too make sure it wasn't worse than we realized and avoid people flooding the hospitals.
The peak is over! Don't know why you can't look at statistics and understand basic facts!

How remarkable is it that there was rigorous double-blind count of precisely 80,000 flu deaths, not a single one more, not a single one less?

What's wrong with you! In 2017 we had approximately 80,000 flu deaths! Who said it was exactly that number that was what the CDC reported in 2017
So you going to create some weird diversion cuz I round It Off
You have to create a diversion because coronavirus is going to probably end up being 40 50000 and that's with crazy rigorous Counting
Bottom line if we did that in many of the previous flu years we would have had close to a hundred thousand and in the worst years we would have had a hundred and twenty
Because you can't deal with the facts you have to try to create some weird vibe about picking on the fact that I'm rounding off
Nice try to create a diversion. But the numbers don't lie. It was good to be cautious. But it's good news that it's not nearly as bad as we imagined
In Virginia, we’ve had 154 COVID related deaths. Somewhere between 40-50 of those have occurred at a retirement facility for patients receiving end of life care.

Sounds like someone's freaking out because the reality doesn't fit their Narrative of Doom and Gloom!
You should be rejoicing because when all is said and done the number of people dying this year from respiratory illnesses is going to be exactly the same as in 2017
Did you bat and I in 2017 about what strain of flu is killing people. Did the thought ever even cross your mind in 2017 that it was a bad year for the flu! Did you lose any sleep over what strain was killing people? But now suddenly it's all doom and gloom when at the end of the day the same number of people are going to be killed by respiratory illnesses
