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.
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.
Who is “irrationally” fearful of this?
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.
you dont have to believe but what i say is true. there are a lot of people that think and still think the death rate is in the 3s.
people who want to shut everything down until there is a vaccine.
yes lots of people like this i see it every day
im a cpa i didnt fail math. i was your tutor. its not significant enough to justify shutting everything down is what i meant. you should take the blindfold off.
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.
