Is it because the Government has nukes and all we have is AR's, pistols and shotguns. So your saying the government doesn't care if you trust them or not, they will just Chernobyl your ass and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Edited May 25, 2020 by Call_Of_Ktulu

This is very scary to me. I don’t trust either.... guess that makes me half and half? 1 1

Can't just look at the total number of deaths. The death rate is a more significant factor. Umm not even close to being accurate.

Sits at about 5.9% or, as I said about 6%. In my original post I quoted global data that I found through a simple Google search looking for "COVID-19 death rate". The 1% is not accurate. About 6 time too low. Also, your link is 2 weeks out of date, AND a predictive model...NOT actual rate based on actual collected data. This is based on people tested yet there is tons of data showing that many more people have the virus than actually tested literally showing little or no symptoms so the death rate is closer to 0.2-0.6%. 1 1

Currently we are approaching 100,000.00 dead from Covid -19 and the deaths continue to tally, and will eclipse the Asian flu in a month. Consider this, we are in a time with far better medical knowledge, so it would appear that Covid -19 is equally or more deadly than these other out breaks, and very likely worse. The time for the final count of Covid-19 deaths has yet to come. Conservatively it will eclipsed 150,000.00 before this year is over. Several of my friends are Drs and nurses most deaths not all are from it Example older person dies in hospice care goes down as pneumonia family doesn't want otopsy goes down as cov 19 Sad but my Dr friends are being told to do just that

I read the whole thread and you're incorrect. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/22/health/cdc-coronavirus-estimates-symptoms-deaths/index.html The CDC also says its "best estimate" is that 0.4% of people who show symptoms and have Covid-19 will die, and the agency estimates that 40% of coronavirus transmission is occurring before people feel sick. 1

Anyhoo, wifee & I spent a couple hours at the beach today. Distanced ourselves sufficiently and -while we didn’t wear masks, had them nearby. The scene was unsettling. Many groups of 10 or more and a lot of them were seen mingling with other folks just walking by. I have a sinking feeling feeling about football in the Fall.. My first post was confusing? I listed two more pandemics, one in the 50's and one in the 60's, that had "football in a pandemic era", which was the topic of the thread. I thought those would be a little more relevant than the 1918 pandemic (when considering pro football) since the other two are more recent and can be more easily compared to our situation today. The Green Bay Packers weren't even founded till 1919. 1

I have stated over and over again that the data I reported are based on available numbers. I agree that at the end of the day, the death rate is likely to change as more cases are revealed (which I stated repeatedly in this thread). I have responded to this enough. What I presented, and the way I framed it, is correct (i.e. available data, with the notion that numbers could and likely would change). 22 minutes ago, JaCrispy said: https://bit.ly/2XtnzF3 Thanks for the link. I did see that report. But again, what I presented are the DATA AT THIS TIME. I could not have made that more clear. I did not offer any predictions or theories (such as the CDC is doing in its report)...I just stated the data as it stands as of 5/24/2020 via the CDC website. Edited May 25, 2020 by Johnnycage46 1
MJS Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 17 minutes ago, JaCrispy said: https://bit.ly/2XtnzF3 A lot of the antibody testing data is pretty remarkable. COVID-19 could be the most infectious disease of all time, potentially spreading without 90% of people even showing symptoms. I also find it really interesting that children are so unaffected. I know a few have gotten it, but by and large they don't. And a there is a lot of evidence that suggests that there are virtually no cases of a child transmitting the disease to an adult. Makes me wonder what it is about children that gives them such an immunity. I wonder if is a vaccine most get as a baby or toddler, but worldwide many children don't get vaccines, so that's probably not it. 1

You said doctors were being told to say deaths were coronavirus deaths when they weren't. To me that's bull.

It will likely change once more data is collected. But right now that is the death rate based on currently collected and released data.
