Btw, flu (influenza) is not in the list you posted. Colds are not the flu.
Corona viruses are a huge group of viruses.some are totally innocuous and some very deadly.
That was depressing because it sounds all too true.
Something that doesn’t come up much in discussions of the pandemic .... because people are so focused on the fatality rate as if you either die or everything is ok .. are a few things:
I hate to be picky, but the most common cause for a common cold is a rhinovirus. A cold can be a corona virus, but a rhinovirus is roughly twice as likely. There are also some other identifiable bugs that fall under the umbrella of common cold.
What's interesting, to me anyway, is that roughly 20% of colds still fall into the category of unknown bug. That means when a medical lab looks for the cause, the lab doesn't have a known label for the bug that they find. You wouldn't think that would still be the case in 2020, but evidently the common cold still includes some mysteries.
By the way, I had Covid-19 during March. I'm debating whether or not to explain the details here. Some of the details are bizarre, so they're probably worth explaining, but I don't know if I want to add to the drama here.
Thanks for the clarification, and yes please do add your drama to the thread, we love drama here 👍
Did you, as a prelude to it, get a worrying pain(s) in your teeth/fillings/work which made you think you’re going to need the dentist soon, then it went away, so you didn’t need to after all?
Trump is trying to kill us all with his magical thinking
Disband the task force
Reopen the States
With not enough, BY FAR, testing or tracing programs in place
On top of it all he’s still bailing out giant corps and his buddies and refusing to give relief to the people he ostensibly wanted to “save”
The fact is Trump’s personality whether it be sociopathic NPD or just insane won’t let him admit to ANY mistakes.
He fucked up. He had plenty of warning. He had plenty of expertise at his disposal. He could have had resources and a response ready. He could have recovered from his missteps. He chose not to. His ego is so fragile he cannot be fallible.
Fuck him and his enablers.
The second wave will be worse than the first. It’s all Trump’s fault hundreds of thousands will die.
I do have one crown, and it acted up in March, so there might be some connection. I'm not in pain now, but I'm still planning to have it checked, and possibly redone, whenever it's practical for the dentistry people. I'm guessing that their lives have become more complicated in 2020.
I'll see if I can write a good account of my C19 experience. One aspect of it was over-the-top bonkers. I was delusional for a few days, in a mushroom sort of way, so I want to see if I can adequately describe that angle.
One of the striking things in reading reports from doctors and the people studying the epidemic is how many people have symptoms dissimilar from the most common symptoms which has often resulted in > @Janie said:
One of the striking things has been the variety of symptoms that this thing causes -- and in some people no respiratory component at all. Everything from kidney failure to heart attacks to stroke -- and cognitive deficits like you mention.
Updated May 6th. Fully referenced facts about Covid-19, provided by experts in the field, to help our readers make a realistic risk assessment.

The first item on that page is something discussed earlier and disinclines me to treat this as a reliable source. The page's top item is the claim that the "average" fatality rate is 0.2%. As mentioned earlier AT LEAST 0.25% of the NYC population has died from COVID-19. And no one believes that 100% or even 60% of the population there has COVID.
So, his top item is dubious. In my mind, leading with that undermines the credibility of the rest of his list.
Also his statement (also in the first item) about the initial lethality estimates by the WHO is (intentionally or not) misleading. First, the number he is citing was the lethality of KNOWN cases in late Feb early March -- and even at that time all epidemiologists (including those at the WHO) were telling people that the true fatality rate was unknown as you don't have good data so early in the epidemic.
Journalists and medical professionals not well-versed in epidemiology and how incomplete data tends to be were making claims about fatality rate that epidemiologists have long tried to get people to contextualize better.
Astroturfed propaganda.
There is more to the world than NYC. There are always hotspots in any epidemic.
Yes, there is more to the world than NYC. But you can't say the average fatality rate is 0.2% when the fatality rate in NYC is clearly several times higher than that -- and there is not reliable data to indicate that NYC is radically different in terms of mortality.
If you want to make the claim that NYC is several times worse than "average" you need some pretty strong evidence to back up that claim -- which he doesn't have. Epidemiologists keep saying: "we don't know what the IFR is but we can get a sense of the absolute lower bounds -- and it isn't going to be far lower than in NYC." It seems like most of them think the data points to something between 0.5% and 1.0% -- with a number of things influencing where in the range things will fall. Though, they could be wrong -- and all of them admit that.
The guy seem to be cherry-picking data to fit his desired narrative -- not forming a narrative derived from known data.
But, let's say that it is 0.2%. It is totally misleading to say that this makes it no worse than the flu. This is misleading. We have vaccines against the flu and people that have had the flu have some immunity to it. Even at 0.2% fatality rate that would be about 528,000 people killed in the U.S. in a fast-moving epidemic (since people estimate that about 80% of people would become infected in an unmitigated epidemic).
The conservative Project Veritas whistleblower platform spoke with New York funeral home directors who stated that currently Covid is written „on all death certificates“ (of suspected cases), whether there was a test or not. Many people are currently dying at home, and often the exact cause of death is no longer checked. The Covid19 statistics are inflated for political or financial reasons, the directors stated.
Dr. Daniel Murphy, the head of emergency medicine at a heavily affected hospital in New York City, recommends a quick end to the lockdown. According to Dr Murphy, the Covid19 wave had already reached its peak on April 7th. Covid19 is a serious matter, but the fear of it is exaggerated, as the vast majority of the population gets at most mildly ill. His biggest concern now is the sharp decline in the care of emergency patients and children due to the lockdown and the widespread fear in the population.

Maybe you have not lived in New York?
On another subject... I have added up the total cases and deaths for the next five countries on the Worldometer site. UK, Spain, Italy, France and Germany. Together they have fewer, but similar, infections and a greater death rate. They represent a big part of Western Europe. So, if you compare the US to these figures the US appears to be doing better, per capital, than W. Europe as a whole, no?
Thoughts about this?
What percentage of the population is that.
everything is connected, even bs and feigned outrage.... you can't honestly be outraged over bill gates, Who, and big Pharma but honestly not be outraged over the President of the United States, who gives big Pharma a run for their money when it comes to corruption all by his lonesome... How can you even have an actual debate about the state of the virus response without the President and his Taskforce being central to the debate...
So real events that have actually taken place are handwaved away in favour of speculation that just happens to fit your preferred narrative. That has got to be the clearest case of confirmation bias I've ever seen.
As for the NY death certificates, there aren't enough tests to cope with the number of dead. All-cause mortality is way up, not just in NY but all over the world, during a pandemic. The virus is the only plausible explanation for this, but bizarrely that seems to be the one explanation some are unwilling to believe 🤷♀️
One thing is clear though, there is a sustained campaign of misinformation being carried out, aided by an army of bots on social media reinforcing the dodgy talking points. Someone is paying for the bots, someone is paying for hundreds of fake profiles set up with the sole purpose of amplifying this bullshit.
No, this isn’t confirmation bias, everywhere has different fatality rates. No one is saying there are not more deaths this year, but it’s interesting that doctors have been pressured to write Covid19 on the death certificate. Yes, there is a massive campaign to spread misinformation and that is why the general population are terrified to leave their homes.
I’m thinking about getting together with some more coder type mates to create a Facebook app that acts as a questionnaire for people who want the lockdown to end. It will have two parts. The first asks for what percentage you believe is deadly. The second then makes you nominate that proportion of your friends to be on the ‘sorry, didn’t make it’ list. If you wish to complete the little game, it will post the results and inform your choices of the decision you made.
Hopefully that would give the ghouls something to think about...
It definitely is confirmation bias - you've made your mind up and you're only willing to listen to arguments that confirm your prior beliefs. The exact opposite of being open-minded.
I'm absolutely willing to change my mind if the facts turn out differently to my current perceptions, because I realise we simply don't know much at all about what's going on, it's unfolding. On the other hand you seem to be only pushing stuff that conforms to a narrative, it's a completely different mindset.
You can’t hide under your bedsheets for too much longer otherwise you won’t have anything to go back to.
Dr. Daniel Murphy - the vast majority of the population gets at most mildly ill
Yes I know these are not contagious but the numbers are not nice.
In 2020, an estimated 606,520 people will die of cancer in the United States.
About 647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year.
Yes, we know that. However, and at the same time, tens of thousands of people are dying. And tens of thousands more may also have to live with permanently damaged lungs or kidneys. So until we know more, we act cautiously.
Of course, hiding under our bedsheets versus going back to how things were are not the only options.
Source for the tens of thousands?
Multiple reports of patients needing dialysis, or suffering strokes and heart attacks as a result of the disease. It attacks more than just the lungs, and can lead to multiple organ failure, so we have no grounds to assume that people who recover don't suffer permanent damage to one or even several organs.
Just one example among many:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/health/kidney-dialysis-coronavirus.html
But this needs to be quantified, what was the average age and how many of these patients already had serious illness. So far, and I’ll repeat the stats are showing If you are under 50 and healthy this virus is not a major threat.
