Not sure where you are getting this idea because its not true. the mortality rate is going down whether you want to accept it or not. 7 to 8 thousand people died per day in this country before covid. 1400 on top of that is nothing. and we all know they are calling pretty much every death right now a covid death to get the federal money. my wife works in the hospital here and she admits they are doing that. this is not something we should be shutting the whole country down for at this point. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 +135 that no P5 team plays a game this year...sadly, I just took that. The haircut/beach nerds and peaceful protesters and CHAZ dorks have ruined this for us. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't believe you. What you are saying has been debunked over and over again. Hospitals get no extra money from COVID deaths. 1400 deaths a day on top of what we already have is absolutely significant. Thats nearly heart disease level which is the deadliest disease in the US. Mortality rate is going down but anyone with a brain knew it wasn't 3.4%. Best estimate has been 0.5%-1% for awhile now and that is still the best estimate. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
JohnW Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 No , get real PANDEMIC .. despite the way the Husker defense has played at times six foot distancing can’t be maintained on the field. Frost and Husker hierarchy need to stop whining and grow up . Quote Link to comment

Fauci has said dont count on an effective vaccine. The doctors are already learning how to treat it better but that doesnt seem to matter. We are having more and more positives and less and less deaths but people are still irrationally fearful of this. I hope there is a great vaccine or treatment but until then the world is on hold until we learn to accept some of the risk that comes with this virus. Who is “irrationally” fearful of this? people that are simply following the guidelines and wish others would? 6 Quote Link to comment

I won't give names...but about 25% of the people I work with are irrationally fearful of this...as in...sitting at their desk behind a desk shield and then upon entering...me with a mask on...15 -- 20 feet away...they also put on their mask. 4 2 Quote Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 53 minutes ago, onlyHskrfaninIL said: they'll be lucky to get a third of the population to even take it 50% would be fine, especially if the over 55 population is a higher % getting the vaccine. We already have at least 15% with antibodies. We will see how long they last and whether or not the virus mutates very much, which wouldn’t be too bad considering most viruses weaken as they mutate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
