Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in New Haven

[QUOTE=Arkot1337;4708137]If you actually read what I wrote. It's right there.

" The only thing it's doing is slowing it down. Giving time for the medical to not get over run by actual cases. And instead get over run with people panicking".

Summary,

Is it severely overhyped and causing panic. Yes.

Do we all need to use standard precautions. Yes.

Does EVERYONE need to be wearing a face mask that's not properly designed for preventing incoming droplet particles. No.

Standard hand washing. Not touching your face. And having people with respiratory sx wear the masks. Is really all you need.

Clogging the Er with a hide line of people back to back, who don't even yet have symptoms and can't be tested yet. That's going to cause faster spread.[/QUOTE]Are we pooping more? No.

Do we need to deplete supermarkets of all toilet paper? No.

Do we need stock up 3 months of food and drinks? No.

Do we just need to stay calm and stick to our regular shopping patterns? Yes.

What about the perfectly healthy 40 year old that is now in a coma and may never recover.

All I know is I am doing whatever I can to minimize my exposure.

Being healthy doesn't make you immune to complications. And just as many asymptotic flu cases as well.

C-19 got its roots into the entire world. It is NOT going to go away.

Most of us will be getting it at some point. Weather it's this year, or 5 years from now. We are well past the point of no return from it being a community disease.

Yes you should help prevent the spread of it in current time and follow directions.

But don't do so under the false belief that this is going to come and go.

Isolation will slow it down only for as long as isolations last. But it isn't a permanent or even long term solution.

Eventually it will be slowed down to the general public building up the immunity levels and the bug has less people to quickly pass through.

[QUOTE=MrMike1952;4708000]I'm unclear as to whether you are saying that there is no reason to panic [/QUOTE]There is never any reason to panic, people will panic, that's a given but by it's very definition panic is an unreasonable state. Panic accomplishes nothing and for fucks sake never, ever listen to people who are panicking.

Limit your exposure to people for a couple weeks. Since there is no vaccine this thing has to get out in to the herd, actually it is out into the herd, can't stop it now. If we can slow it down for the next month then less people will die, it's really as simple as that. Flatten the curve and more grandmas get to celebrate the holidays this coming December. Most people who get it aren't going to die. Most likely more people will die from car wrecks than C-19. In Italy more people have died this year from regular flu than there are cases of C-19. In November 2019 there was a study published about Italy's higher than normal rate of influenza. Between 2014 and 2017 they had over 5 million cases of influenza that killed 69,000 people, that's 23,000 deaths a year. That's 4 times the number of people who have died world wide of C-19 and ten times the number of people who have died in Italy and nobody, literally nobody cared. There was no panic, there was no closures, nothing, nobody gave a shit.

I'm not minimizing C-19, it's a thing and we all need to make some sacrifices, we got to stay home and stop being dicks about hording shit but stop being lemmings, this isn't 12 monkeys we aren't going to be living underground. In a couple weeks if the fucking news stops sensationalizing the "spiraling death count" that is a result of the "pandemic that is spreading like wildfire" then it's over.

Just over 8,000 deaths GLOBALLY from COVID-19 since this shit started. The CDC estimates 12,000 and 61,000 FLU deaths per year in THE UNITED STATES ALONE. The World Health Organization estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year. You've been dealing with this shit your whole life, so don't get stupid now.

I'm also not an economist and haven't played that on TV either but here's my prediction.

There will be twice as many influenza deaths in 2021 because of the increased number of uninsured, underinsured, and homeless people who lost their jobs during this thing.

At my place of employment, they started the 'work from home' announcement with "Out of an abundance of caution. " I suspect a lawyer wrote that one.

If we gauge the mortality rate of the flu with this the flu is way deadlier. We are making the death rate of cv19 on definitive cases not estimates like we do with the flu. In short there were 20 mill ESTIMATED cases of flu last year alone with 2000 deaths in the US. There ACTUALLY 20000 fully diagnosed cases of the flu. With 20000 cases and 2000 deaths the mortality rate of the flu is 10%. This is just so people will caaaaallllm down. Not saying don't follow precautions but hysteria will only wreck our economy more.

Once people start getting tested the mortality rate is going to come way the fuck down (it's possible for lots of people to have corona and nobody knows but pretty much everybody notices when somebody dies, they have to do something with the body).

This is a great article from Italy, published in Nov 2019 while C-19 was warming up in Wuhan for it's world tour.

[URL]https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971219303285[/URL]

In it they discuss why Italy has so many more cases on average of seasonal influenza than the rest of the EU. Turns out that between 2014nd 2017 Italy had 5,290,000 cases of influenza that resulted in 68,000 deaths.

Let me say that again, 1,322,000 cases a year that resulted in 17,250 deaths a year over a [b]four year period[/b], it was published in the journals and nobody, literally nobody except a few statisticians and medical professionals gave a shit. Ten times the number of dead and nobody cared except, I'm sure, the families of the people who passed.

It's still a thing, you still should stay home because it's kinda fast and can overwhelm the health care system (like in Italy) but again, it's not 12 monkeys.

[QUOTE=OldChineseGuy;4714491][URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hks6Nq7g6P4[/URL][/QUOTE]LOL. I'm offering statistics gathered by the WHO and CDC and your response is a video made by the chick who starred in the Doll House.

I mean she's hot don't get me wrong but if that is your idea of what constitutes accurate information no wonder the US has become a nation of idiots.

Here this video has as much to do with Covid 19 as yours does [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJIjoE27F-Q[/URL].

These girls see an enormous amount of men daily and do other unsavory activities. The state's positivity rate for covid is climbing. By December 1 we could be as bad as March. Careful who you see because asymptomatic shows no signs. And bam you have covid and passed it to your elderly family. Be safe for the next few months. Start watching porn.

If you're younger than elderly, you might be fine, or you might not be. The data shows that some blood types or ethnicities have worse outcomes than others, even if not "old". Your outcome may even be based on the quality of your insurance plan or your specific location and hospital availability. We're learning new things every day, but this is far from over.

At this point, the virus is still in charge, but the bottom line is the USA is 4% of world population with 20% of the cases and death, and no federal policy to deal with it.

Now that the second spike is here, I'm seriously considering limiting my activities to this one girl who I've been seeing from SA. She still lives at home and I believe I'm her only sugar daddy. At least this way, I can lower my risk profile.

For example, if I die from a brain aneurysm, but I'm COVID positive, I will be labeled as a Covid death.

If you are in poor health & you get Covid, there's a moderate chance that your immune system will take a big hit leading to your death. Just like the flu!
