You think reality doesn‘t apply to you? Of course deaths will spike as well.And yet it's been 15 days since the daily new case numbers started rising again and 37 days since the George Floyd mass gatherings began, and daily deaths continue to trend downwards.
Two more weeks?
Screw science. Let‘s all believe what Levi Quackenbosses‘ nurse friend says on Patreon.
All those young people won’t get in contact with people aged 40 and up ! I wish you luck USA. I hope for a miracle you won’t hit 300k deaths after this is said and done.
its better to curb early, so that you can manage the virus, we Europeans will be enjoying , the cinemas , sports and drinks at the bars!
they just have to keep flights from and to the USA banned.

If the new cases lean toward younger patients, as some evidence suggests, it’s possible that we won’t see a big spike in deaths (if older people can largely stay away from younger patients).

I'm just sharing the data and my observations. I'ts been quite a long time since many states started opening up again (the White House first posted their guidelines for reopening on April 16th) and almost 40 days since George Floyd's death triggered mass protests and gatherings, and yet the Coronavirus daily new death numbers continue to trend downwards even as more testing reveals lots more cases.
Those are the facts. If deaths start spiking again I'll be more concerned, of course, but we're not seeing any indication that they will at the moment.

It seems to do more than make some sick... It's having an effect on organs in some patients, especially the younger ones.
And I heard on a podcast (can't remember which one) that they're trying blood cleaning (like dialysis) to help... Since it seems ventilators are doing more harm than good.

Average time until death is 18 days.
US cases started increasing around 18 days ago. So there is a high risk that deaths will increase this week:

That's from the China study, right?
I'm pretty sure that number is starting from the date of hospitalization.
Coronavirus kills in an average of 18 days
Study of patients in China shows median time to discharge was 22 days while average time to death was 18.5

Hydroxychloroquine is actually turning out to be a miracle drug. Thank god "scientists" politicized it and ran with a story about a woman killing her dementiated husband with fish tank cleaner to smear it. What would we have done if 50% of the people who died had actually survived?

It's a hell of a lot more impressive than Remdesivir at a tiny fraction of the cost.
Study finds hydroxychloroquine may have boosted survival, but other researchers have doubts | CNN
Hydroxychloroquine helped Covid-19 patients, a study in Detroit found.

Wearing a mask is not enough people, try to avoid large gatherings and when you go out in public to work/ get groceries please keep mindful of how close you are to people. Also, don't touch all kind of shit. South Korea did just fine with the virus when people started taking it seriously. It's like your parents always taught you when growing up "better safe than sorry".

You have an immune system, use it or lose it. I want every virus that is not an std. I wanna be the Ash Ketchum of the flu, gotta catch them all. If I could make a living catching viruses I'd do it just so that I could brag about having had more viruses than anyone else.

How cute of you. Go ahead and personally infect yourself with the virus then. Natural Selection will take it's course

Appeal to consequences. Maybe I'll get it, be fine, and my immune system will be better for it. With the number of asymptomatic cases I may have already had it.

I doubt you even know how the immune system works. Go ahead and infect yourself on purpose just so you can show Neo Gaf that you are so much smarter.

All the statistics I've seen suggest almost no chance of dying at my age. I'm a healthy weight, and I run three times a week. Me being afraid of the coronavirus would be ridiculous and if the swedes are correct I should get it to build herd immunity. But even that is speculation because they really haven't had time to study the virus.
Don't live in fear, it's bad for your immune system. I think I've already had it but if I knew someone that did I'd invite them to cough all over me. I bet if a super model had covid you'd not worry and lick every inch of her if she let you not worrying about the covid. Most men would do it just to say they did.
So you don‘t like my facts. Your ignorance will not change anything.

Who is saying Im living in Fear? Just taking the necessary precautions, simple as that bro. I do that all the time in my life now. I used to be young, dumb and reckless. Almost got myself killed a few times before back in high school. While dummies went out to the bars, got sick and spread it in my state, I can drink in the comfort of my home with my friends just fine.

2 million, huh? K.
Find it very sad, that this thread looks like its in a state it was back in January, very alarming . Ignorant people doing like there is nothing wrong , just flu , don’t take my freedom .Deaths are already rising in current worst affected states...
if you don’t accept you are witnessing a one‘s every 100 years world changing event . And start taking it seriously, it will turn into a complete shit show.
ThE whole world has 6 months experience now, start acting you learned something in those 6 months .

That is what I think alot of people still don't get yet, years.
Even if we get a vaccin tomorrow, it will still take ages before everyone gets a dose. Meanwhile, this disease isn't going away by itself in most nations, so why not follow guidelines and do your best to prevent people getting it?
Yup. USA lost more lives with the Spanish flu than with the Second World War. 500 - 850 k died.

I honestly fear a second spike in the UK despite Pubs taking as many precautions as possible.
Idiots will mingle when drunk and spread it to vulnerable people.
Most won't die from it of course, but there will be deaths that can and should be prevented.
Opening up too early for Pubs and Cinemas. Those should be the last things to open until we know for certain that the cases are manageable for the NHS.
The cases do look low but they suspect at least 8K a day are being infected and we haven't even had 10% of the population infected yet.
I just pray that no one else has to die from people not taking precautions with social distancing.

California governor shuts down wineries in 19 counties but his is open
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday ordered 19 counties to shut down their wineries due to the rise in the number of cases of COVID-19, but his own in Napa Valley remains open.

CNN over here shaming Americans. "Look at how much better these countries are compared to us"
Yes , is known as far back as January in China , but it seems it’s hard to understand for the rest of the world . Seems we have to witness it first a couple of times
very exhausting.

Shouldn’t she of got a negative result before even going back to work? Most workplaces I’m aware of require you to show your no longer infectious

I don't know. I assume so.
There we so many cases at her workplace, that it almost feels pointless for them to try and contain it.
It’s better to have a whole sick work force ? How does that work? If you can’t produce?

Nearly all of them are asymptomatic and didn't even know they had it until being tested. My sister only lost her sense of smell and taste (For about a week).

The problem (?) is that for a once-in-100-year world changing event, the death numbers aren't really all that high in the grand scheme of things. As an entire country, we're currently at 105% total mortality compared to the three year average. A large part of this is New York City alone which is at 208% (!!!) of their three year average, followed by New Jersey at 143%.
Florida is currently at 100%, meaning it's exactly in line with the average.
All signs indicate that this shit peaked in April like most countries. A second wave may happen, I don't know, but what if it doesn't? What if we come in at a total mortality rate of 105% or even less when all is said and done? What will the doomsayers say then?

Even hospitals, like the one I work at, aren’t requiring a negative test. You’re essentially told to self isolate until symptoms have been resolved for 5 days. We do 10 days for return to work. About 50% of our hospitalizations are from 2 local nursing homes
