What is the dumbest COVID denial left? all the big ones have fallen

Denial that we're going to be stuck like this for 5-6 years, if not permanently.

You forgot “herd immunity” &

“over when warm weather hits”

Guys smoking alcohol medical malpractice guys smoking alcohol medical malpractice.... kills millions of people every year where is the hysteria over that. This is projected to kill 70,000 maybe a hundred thousand when it's all over it's a bad flu season. I'm not saying it's not bad and there shouldn't be some precautions put in place but it's an overreaction. How do you not get that.. 90% of the people dying or people at the end of their life that would have died within the year anyway again I'm not saying it's not bad in those aren't still bad things I'm just putting it in perspective

Belarus today:

84 deaths total, 9 deaths/Million pop. (5th best in Europe)

ZERO restrictions. "Drink vodka and more sauna".

I trust their numbers like China’s

so still some dummies out there. You really think this ends at 70k? thats like 5-6 days away at the current rate.

the vast majority most of those 60k were in the last month......were talking about equaling the worst flu season in most of our lifetimes....happening in a matter of weeks. Anyone still pretending this is like the flu at this point is either a troll or too dumb for their opinion to matter. 'Fact resistant' as i like to say

Current total projected by August: 72,864

there will be a death spike about 3 weeks after any place lifts restrictions too, barring states that have it in check like Alaska and Hawaii

There's never been a dangerous virus before that's invisible and doesn't hurt anyone.

Therefore, it's extremely dangerous!

And it's probably going to kill at least 5 trillion people!

Outside of New York, this is an average flu season for the rest of the country. Here in Virginia, our flu + COVID deaths are still less than 2018 flu deaths over the same date range(Jan. 1 to today)

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018/archive.htm

CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2017–2018 season was also high with an estimated 48.8 million people getting sick with influenza, 22.7 million people going to a health care provider, 959,000 hospitalizations, and 79,400 deaths from influenza (Table 1). The number of cases of influenza-associated illness that occurred last season was the highest since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, when an estimated 60 million people were sick with influenza (6).

Ok in 3 weeks we can revisit this and you can move the goalposts again! Nice job proving the point of this thread!

Oh you mean a novel virus hasn’t become widespread in your community yet due to stay at home orders? Crazy.

Why not have stay at home orders every flu season? I guess you’re just sheet out of luck if you catch the flu and die in a non-pandemic year. What’s 60,000-80,000 dead amongst friends anyway right?

Yeah I guess the fact that I got a 4.0 in pre-med and was the top of my class makes me dumb. I guess the fact that I got into a lot of medical schools also makes me dumb

And the only problem with medicine is this way too much groupthink and military-style think and the nonsense you are spreading

Don't get me wrong there's a lot of great people doing amazing work in medicine but I'm just saying it tends to be a Follow the Leader type mentality and don't question authority

72,000 was the latest government prediction even if it's a 100,000 or 150000 thousand still 90% of those are terminal people

Your hopped-up on your little trip of thinking that your seeing things accurately. Look at youman history .... people are incredibly bad at understanding threat versus opportunities....

Just look at the way we run Society with the proliferation of alcohol cigarettes drugs incredibly harmful foods the advertising .... the poisons the endless array of needless products ..... people who toil needlessly in factories producing trinkets. All the advertising for harmful totally unnecessary stufff!!!

If you don't get the fact that the average healthy person has little to worry about from coronavirus you are the idiot!

Again when this is all said and done probably less than 1000 healthy people with decades in their life will be killed. But even if it's 10,000 or 20,000 it's still way lower than a lot of things we don't even think twice about. Automobiles medical malpractice prescription drugs alcohol cigarettes I can go on and on.

So why don't you buy yourself a clue and understand this is something that is being created by a completely scientific illiterate society that fear mongers and thinks in simplistic terms

CDC changed their reporting standards to "looks like corona to me!" or "corona was around"
