The percentage of deaths doesn't matter all that much when the total number of deaths in two months goes over 100,000. Does that make you feel secure?
It’s been closer to four months and if Colorado is any indication, the real number is likely closer to 80,000, fewer than the flu of 1968-69.
Also consider the very specific demographic of most deaths (many of which could have been avoided) and you begin to see a pattern of hysterical hype.
Nope.
Likely 120k right now, not less... all corona virus deaths outside of hospital, are not counted....in Feb and March as example, in NYC their was 40% increase in their average deaths for Feb and March....40% increase over deaths in their state in 2019 not counted in covid count.
And in just 2 months,
Not a full year... 80k was for a year to year and a half, death total.....
The 100k deaths from corona virus is for just deaths in April and May
100k deaths is in just 2 months... And we are only in the 2nd inning... the virus continues, deaths continues.... likely 250,000 dead, through Dec 2020
February through May is four months. What is your source for underestimation? I provided Colorado as an example of overestimation.
It sounds like you’re hoping for worse news.
I'm not hoping for deaths, for goodness sake!!!
We just need to know the facts...know History, and not alternative facts...
There’s every reason to believe that in the United States, as in Italy, there are Covid-19 deaths that aren’t tabulated in the official numbers. On April 7, Gothamist looked at the excess death numbers in New York and concluded that the average of 245 Covid-19 deaths per day from the previous week needs to be supplemented by excess death numbers that are almost as large. As the news site reported
, “Another 200 city residents are now dying at home each day, compared to 20 to 25 such deaths before the pandemic, said Aja Worthy-Davis, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office. And an untold number of them are unconfirmed.”
Keeping the toll of Covid-19 deaths artificially low makes it easier for Trump to push for a premature end to the lockdown.

The daily tally of New York City residents who died at home with coronavirus-like symptoms exploded from 45 on March 20 to 241 on April 5, according to Fire Department of New York data - suggesting the city may be significantly undercounting COVID-19 deaths.

Thats NYC. And it’s speculative so you know it’s exaggerated.
The disease kills old people.
So killing old people is A Ok, Mr Death Panel?
Sheesh!
AND NO, the disease doesn't just kill old people crowded in nursing homes.
Meat processors, and grocery store clerks, and prisoners, and public service workers, and doctors and nurses, and anyone in confined spaces that spreads the disease easily, are at risk... So are babies and small children....
Which MORONS in this country put infected back into Nursing homes........hint they were in Blue Hive States and cities.......
You ready to fire their sorry asses...............
All States Did It! Not just blue states and...
As you should KNOW by now, that it was the FEDERAL GOVT'S CDC, that issued the March 13th guidelines of putting those nursing home residents who had covid and were hospitalized, then released from the Hospital... to do their remaining recovery, back in to the resident's nursing home, even if still not fully recovered with a negative test..... not any of the governors ideas.... but the Federal CDC guidelines.
There were guidelines that included separating the covid patients in to a different ward, having the staff exclusively for the covid ward residents and not a shared staff with those residents not infected, separate entrances to the covid ward and a lot of other CDC guidelines to do such....
Which the States followed
DNC a party of excuses..............blaming others for their mistakes.......and in this case manslaughter territory........
Florida sent National Guard teams to Nursing homes........didn't happen there......Your narrative just hit an Iceberg.
I'm back at work..........12 of 120 plus from out company alone...........rest of those jobs are gone for most of the rest of the year..........along with all the other contractors........
Over this stupid virus........0.2% virus and WE BURNED OUR HOUSE DOWN.....STUPIDITY IN MOTION.
Jimminy, you are off your rocker!
The CDC issued guidelines that there should be 6 ft of separation between all people, and no groups larger than 10,
THAT is when ALL states, including my Governor, began their shutdowns.... except the essential businesses that also were cdc guidelines
trying to rewrite history now, is just typical of you Trumpers.....!!!!
------------------------------
ALL MAJOR LEAGUE Sports,
Shut down,
before the States shut down....
------------------------------
The Stock Market CRASHED
BEFORE the States shut down....
-------------------
The mortality rate estimate is now two and a half times greater than the flu, 0.25% vs 0.1%
AND it is MORE contagious.... the infection spreads faster so it reaches more people, mortality rate is based on how many catch it..... if more people catch it at a faster rate, then many more deaths, ten times the low end deaths of the flu can and will likely, occur by year's end...... and average flu year is from 24k to 52k and about 36k as the median, in a year's time.....
we are at 100k deaths for just April and May.....
The shutdown SAVED US from that number likely being doubled over the next couple of months.
So the CDC guidance of shelter at home, will save about 100k additional American lives over the next two months.....
Then all hell is going to break loose again, with all of these openings, let alone unprotected rioters foolishly out there, and the resistance by Trumpers to wear masks, and social distance....
Let's hope we have an organized plan next time around, instead of willy nilly and shutting down everything..... pray!
