Nice knowing you all.....
Folks dont get hospitalized because they're freaked out.
60 or so Italian health care workers have died from the
coronavirus in a month. I understand the flu kills but not at this rate.

1,331 deaths in the USA yesterday, up 30% in one day.

People who need to be on ventilators literally can't breathe on their own. You can't fight through something like that.
Like I get that people a month ago doubted how bad things would get, and 'the flu is worse' claim was correct at the time. It has always been the potential, if unchecked, how far worse things would be. That potential was more clear to some than others. Here we are, whole world shut down, and things are still pretty bad. 1300 a day dying in the US. The measures to shut things down and social distancing has always been about flattening the curve, to buy time to set up additional hospital capability and to prevent hospitals... specifically ICUs, from getting overrun.
But now I don't get it. How can people say the Flu is still worse? How bad does it actually have to get for you to change that view? Does that point even exist for you?

What is so important to you what I think? The main infection cycle of this virus is apparently two weeks, but how long does it take one who can't fight it to die from it? Of course deaths are going to go up after quarantines and social distancing because people were infected prior to that. If it doesn't start flattening out in the next week or two, then we probably have a problem. We didn't start social distancing where I live till about 2 weeks ago and Walmart didn't start till a couple days ago.

Never mind.
We had a down day yesterday. Daily new cases and new deaths both dropped pretty significantly. I have a feeling it's because it was a Sunday (people stay at home and wait until Monday to see if they feel better, but that doesn't accounted for the reduced death count).
There's also a report from the Washing Post yesterday saying there's not enough postmortem testing being done, so the death count is not accurate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/inves...a6d_story.html
Either way, it would be nice if we continued the downward trend. I won't hold my breath until I see it happen a few days in a row though.

Teddy Roosevelt: Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official. Retired on November 30, 2023 with 30+ years of service.
I'm actually genuinely curious of how other people think and interpret things differently than my own. Specifically the root of WHY or how they came to their conclusion.
Its been particularly interesting to see how quickly social media went from "The flu is worse" to "OMG look at these jerks outside, they should be charged for manslaughter!"

The people in some hospitals that report numbers don't work on Saturday or Sunday.
Tuesday's numbers should be back up. Past Sundays have all been below the Saturday counts. The bounce back up on Mondays.
I had two friends that had deaths yesterday- One in New York died Saturday morning. He was on the phone 6 hours trying to find someplace to take the body. The best he could find was- they'll pick up the body on Wednesday, and cremate it, and send him an urn in about ten days. Funeral homes are that backed up in New York.
The other one- well, it was in Detroit. Turns out the first case in the extended family was in early February 6th, my friend came to town to attend the funeral around February 10th. SHE got sicker than a dog on February 16th, and so did a lot of other people that were at that funeral. They had ANOTHER funeral March 4, for somebody that was at the Feb 16 funeral. At that funeral, my friend was just getting better, and a number of the people attending THAT funeral also now have become sick. None of them went to the hospital- they don't have insurance coverage. My friend said she was sick as a dog until the 10th day, when she couldn't breath. She had to borrow somebody's CPAP machine in order to get enough air, and was on that for three days, and then slowly got better. Said she wa acually down a total of 16 days from first symptom till she recovered.
Detroit is a hotspot and is catching up towards New York. it's not good.
This thing is very, very bad.
