What is your point there? 300,000 would be about 13% of 2.2 million. Is your point that 13% of all deaths is substantial? Because I'd agree with that.

In August it was reported that we're +200,000 for deaths compared to normal years...while I'd figure we're above a typical year I'm sure anyone can also poke holes in any numbers when it comes to the 'actual reason' side of the argument, and other causes of deaths.

Are we going to talk about the epidemic of people that can't figure out how to take a photo without falling off a cliff? I seem to see multiple stories/week on that. WTF people?
 
Just dropped off our absentee ballots in Adel, about the only “normal” and exciting feeling from the past 7 months.

With cases rising in 95% of the country and yet another major hurricane approaching Louisiana, the **** show of 2020 only looks to be digging in it’s heals for the next round.

Sad when more people were infected within the White House in the past week than all of Taiwan.
 
I haven’t had a haircut since February, using the clippers around the sides myself doesn’t count

You act as if somehow a virus spreading through a country, and an active hurricane season are somehow linked. Like there is some higher power is punishing us for not wearing masks. Man........give it a rest.

Why would i be facetious when its 100% the truth?

I know sinophobia is nice and popular these days, but the fact is they got things under control and we didn't, even with much larger lead time to work with.

Yea, remember the days of seeing SO2 in the air and speculating the cause. Yea, lying about the numbers is really superior.

That’s dumb, every single person I know talks about 2020 this way, only some religious zealots think they’re linked. The rest just know it all combines for a ****** year.

Or I was simply saying this year sucks and you jumped to a very odd conclusion that I’m guessing says more about you than it does me.

We'll see...SE WI is going up recently which is where one is (MKE) and one of the testing centers in Madison was rumored to possibly be turned into one if needed.

Not very high for ICU % so I guess that's a positive.

COVID-19 Patients Found 'No Worse Than Influenza Cases'

A new press statement by Columbia University in New York on October 6, 2020, found patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were more likely male, younger, and, in both the US and Spain, had fewer comorbidities and lower medication use than hospitalized influenza patients, according to a recent study published by the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics community.

The co-lead author Dr. Edward Burn stated in this press release: "Despite recent discourse around the supposed poor health and limited life expectancy of COVID-19 patients, we see COVID-19 patients to be in no worse health than those typically hospitalized with influenza."

If we could trust the public and had things like plans for what those that are high risk that live with those that aren't are to do in the working world, yes, stricter policies wouldn't be needed.
 
Had a 52 year old friend of my wife become sick a few weeks ago. Decent health, non smoker, woman, probably 20 lbs over weight, 1 kid at home. She thought she had sinus infection and was treated by a doctor(not tested for Covid). Still had issues after a few days and was starting to have trouble breathing so went to a walk in clinic. I think they took her blood oxygen level and the next words out of the nurses mouth was "We're going to be ok, just stay calm". The nurse then walked out the room and she heard her say "We need to get her an ambulance now". The ambulance came and they immediately put her in the ICU. She thought for sure she was going to die and her husband and kids could not see her. She ended up being released 5 days later and seems to be recovering now. Her husband and her college daughter have also tested positive and their teenage son has not.
Seems like a lot bigger deal when it happens to someone you know. It also makes my "I really miss eating out" seem very trivial.

How is someone going into the Dr. for something like that and that office is not testing just to be sure?

But yeah, if someone is complaining because they can't currently go throw $60 around at a bar or something they may need a real solid wake up call.
