It is funny the 2009/2010 swine flu pandemic was estimated by the CDC and WHO to have infected 700 million to 1.4 billion people and killed between 150,000 and 575,000, but there were no shutdowns of businesses, no lockdowns of

Seems like it was a less severe pandemic. I don't even know how I got sucked in to discussing Swine Flu, as I don't support mandated lockdowns or forced masking -- which is why H1N1 was brought up to begin with. I was just pointing out the differences in the H1N1 and C-19 pandemics. We do know the H1N1 pandemic numbers are now static because that pandemic is over. C-19 continues... I really don't care if you guys believe C-19 is no biggie. I don't care if you refuse to mask up in crowds. I hate lockdowns, and I hate C-19. I also don't like bs pandemic comparisons when what we're dealing with presently is C-19. Another nice ride today. How was yours?

... we're not living in Victoria. Australian state to deploy military, impose hefty fines to enforce COVID-19 isolation https://www.saltwire.com/news/world/australian-state-to-deploy-military-impose-hefty-fines-to-enforce-covid-19-isolation-480925/"Australia's second-most populous state Victoria said on Tuesday military personnel will be deployed to enforce COVID-19 isolation orders, with anyone caught in breach of those rules facing hefty fines as high as A$20,000 ($14,250.00). Australia, once heralded as a global leader in containing COVID-19, is desperately trying to slow the spread of the virus in Victoria to prevent a national second wave of infections. Victoria earlier this week imposed a night curfew, tightened restrictions on people's daily movements and ordered large parts of the local economy to close to slow the spread of coronavirus. But nearly a third of those who contracted COVID-19 were not home isolating when checked on by officials, requiring tough new penalties, Victoria state Premier Daniel Andrews said on Tuesday. Andrews said 500 military personnel will this week deploy to Victoria to bolster enforcement of self-isolation orders, with fines of nearly A$5,000 ($3,559.00) for breaching stay at home orders. The only exemption will be for urgent medical care. "There is literally no reason for you to leave your home and if you were to leave your home and not be found there, you will have a very difficult time convincing Victoria police that you have a lawful reason," Andrews told reporters in Melbourne. Repeat offenders face a fine of up to A$20,000, he said". EDIT: And the natives are getting restless. Understandably. https://www.foxnews.com/world/melbourne-police-assaulted-and-baited-over-lockdown-rules

When was the last time you sterilized your phone? Your keys? The steering wheel on your car? Every door knob you touch? How about the gas pumps? If you are truly serious about this then why did you not take these precautions also.

'It is what it is': Trump in interview on COVID-19 death toll in U.S. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1235734I sometimes think our President is frequenting the world famous VRCC board, and is reading the Sh!t Getting Real thread on a daily basis. As some might have noticed, awhile back I changed my C-19 slogan from the more sarcastic "It's All Good!" to "It Is What It Is". And it is... Total infections Source: Johns Hopkins University (as of Tuesday)
U.S.: 4,713,562 confirmed cases (out of 328.2 million total population) Brazil: 2,750,318 (out of 211.7 million) India: 1,855,745 (out of 1.3 billion) Russia: 854,641 (out of 141.7 million) U.K.: 307,251 (out of 65.8 million) Spain: 297,054 (out of 50 million) Italy: 248,229 (out of 62.4 million) France: 225,198 (out of 67.8 million) Germany: 212,111 (out of 80.2 million) China: 88,099 (out of 1.4 billion) South Korea: 14,423 (out of 51.8 million)
Total deaths Source: Johns Hopkins University (as of Tuesday)
U.S.: 155,471 Brazil: 94,655 U.K.: 46,295 India: 38,938 Italy: 35,166 France: 30,268 Spain: 28,472 Russia: 14,327 Germany: 9,161 China: 4,672 South Korea: 301
7-day moving average of daily new cases Source: Worldometer (latest figures for Monday)
U.S.: 60,953 new cases India: 53,261 Brazil: 44,027 Russia: 5,449 Spain: 2,610 France: 1,174 U.K.: 787 Germany: 706 Italy: 274 China: 77 South Korea: 31
7-day moving average of daily new deaths Source: Worldometer (latest figures for Monday)
U.S.: 1,125 new deaths Brazil: 1,004 India: 789 Russia: 122 U.K.: 64 France: 12 Italy: 8 Spain: 6 Germany: 4 South Korea: 1 China: 0
More than 18.3 million people globally have been infected since the virus was first reported in Wuhan, China, including over 4.7 million in the U.S. Over 10.9 million globally have reportedly recovered from infection, while over 694,400 have died, as of Tuesday, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University.Essentially, I support our President and do not hold a novel virus and the resulting illness death and economic devastation against him. No nation has handled C-19 flawlessly. America is a free and open country, and our challenges are unique. Many other nations are now experiencing serious resurgences. Yep. It is what it is, and it is a sh!t virus. It came from China.

Do I Hear Sheep In The Background? https://videos.files.wordpress.com/1hprrB2y/902f246f58353892436bb9c57e35bb3bd72fbc98c04bf8764b628da6ffb4b470_dvd.mp4So they are experiencing better and more plentiful testing which leads to higher test numbers but the death rate is remaining low. Which means we have a 99 percent cure rate,  considering they locked everything down projecting by this time we would have 1 million dead, I find that a major step in the right direction. I wonder why the media is still saying its so bad though and not hyping the cure rate? Oh well probably just an oversight that they will correct. Thank you for making these points they are truly a good outcome to a situation that could have been much worse. The only thing I have not figured out yet is how we are going to pay for the stimulus money, the 175 billion given to hospitals for diagnosing covid patients and a whole host of other freebees. Mind you this was all because some computer geek made projections that were waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy off and the dems tried to nuke the economy. From which the fall out is much greater than the projected numbers on covid. Oh by the way did you see the rent and mortgage numbers as far as the default rate, I think its about 45 percent right now. The banks are also not adding in the missed payments to the end of the mortgage like they agreed but are making people come up with the money immediately. Well thanks again for the positive numbers, do you have any good numbers on the economy?

This site is a really good place to just "Look at the Numbers". https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/?utm_campaign=homeAdvegas1?%22#countriesI've said all along that Sweden is the country to watch since they have mandated nothing. So looking at their numbers: Total pop: 10,105,081 Reported Infections: 81,181 Total deaths: 5,747 Infection rate: 0.803 % Death Rate: 0.0568 % Death rate among those infected: 7.079 % Compare them to Belgium who has imposed strict measures: https://www.france24.com/en/20200727-belgium-tightens-covid-19-restrictions-to-avoid-another-lockdown-amid-rise-in-casesTotal Pop: 11,594,326 Reported infections: 70,314 Total Deaths: 9,850 Infection Rate: 0.606 % Death rate: 0.084 % Death rate among those infected: 14.008 % US #'s: Total pop: 331,182,250 Reported infections: 4,863,077 Total deaths: 158,975 Infection Rate: 1.468 % Death rate: 0.048 % Death rate among those infected: 3.269 % As a side note look at the infected death rates in both Sweden and Belgium compared to the US. Sweden and Belgium both practice socialized medicine.

Yes and so? I wonder how many other germs, viruses are in that besides covid? I wonder after all these years with the plague and HIV, Cancer and a whole host of other diseases did we get by not only not wearing masks but not knowing this information?  Didnt your mother ever tell you to cover your mouth? US #'s: Total pop: 331,182,250 Reported infections: 4,863,077 Total deaths: 158,975 Infection Rate: 1.468 % Death rate: 0.048 % Death rate among those infected: 3.269 % Yes we are truly fortunate and the only thing to fear is the news media and the current dem government.

Yes - I fail to see any RATIONAL basis for all the lockups currently in force "because we want to prevent a 2nd wave". Nope, that can't be the reason. NO media is presenting this in a fair and balanced way, so I trust none of them.
1000, heck even 100,000 infections per day is a drop in the bucket (ocean) for our country. Especially since such a small number of those actually require hospitalization.

I'm no fan of lockdowns. The United States is currently reporting a seven-day average of over 60,000 new cases and 1,069 deaths per day. Not infections, deaths. So, we're at about 60,000 new cases per week. I'm pretty sure we don't want to see 100,000 infections per day.

When over 80% of those infections are asymptomatic / mild stay at home - not really a big deal.

... The United States is currently reporting a seven-day average of over 60,000 new cases and 1,069 deaths per day. Not infections, deaths. ...
Your numbers are coming from someplace other than are mine. My numbers show the U.S. these days experiencing 600 - 800 deaths per day. Someone's reporting is either inflated or deflated. Big number catch our attention. Percentages are more meaningful. I still highly distrust the U.S. reporting of COVID-19 deaths. There is no way the population of the U.S. should account for 23% of the COVID-19 deaths in the world.

There is no way the population of the U.S. should account for 23% of the COVID-19 deaths in the world. My numbers? They're not mine, but I'll start consulting with you to get the straight scoop from now on. As of July 30 "they" were reporting five straight days with US C-19 deaths numbering over 1,000. Admittedly, I don't know where they're at just a few days later or even if they are accurate. https://www.ft.com/content/03f27af6-23c6-3d3c-8d65-849d500dcf2dhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/30/coronavirus-covid-live-updates-us/

When you present them they are yours, maybe not originally but at presentation they are yours. I'll look forward to hearing from you for the true perspective.  One of your links required me to subscribe. I declined. The other link was to the Washington Post. I read it but with skepticism. There were indeed five days near the end of July that reported over 1,000 deaths. They were an anomaly. both sides of that anomaly were days well below 1,000 going as low as a couple hundred. My numbers generally come from the site that 3fan linked to and a few others. I'm comfortable with muffling my ears to the panicking screams of much of the media.

From the website https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/July 29th: 65,286 new cases and 1,465 new deaths in the United States
July 30th: 68,549 new cases and 1,465 new deaths in the United States
July 31st: 71,075 new cases and 1,458 new deaths in the United States
Aug 1st: 58,535 new cases and 1,123 new deaths in the United States
Aug 2nd: 49,562 new cases and 467 new deaths in the United States
Aug 3rd: 48,622 new cases and 567 new deaths in the United States
Aug 4th: 18,971 new cases and 506 new deaths in the United States It would appear that the last few days of July were brutal. Some of those increased numbers was the data from earlier in the month "Catching Up". Either that is the case or we've finally got this thing kicked in the butt and it's going away. Because Early August numbers are showing a significant decrease.

Hey no fair, I already yeilded to your omnipotent knowledge as the undisputed source for the "real" scoop on all things related to C-19. My faith lies 100% in you from now on, barring all others!  BTW, I agree that numbers are kinda worthless poop. Those who open their eyes will see a little coronavirus problem, not only here but globally -- and it ain't Trump's fault. No, I don't think the economic devastation is warranted and I wish you'd done something about that.  Thanks again, China!

Some good points. Something for everyone here -- most will find perspectives they'll side with and others they'll disagree with in this one... I'm somewhere in the middle. From my experience, the truth usually lies somewhere around there. Not sure the authors aren't confusing selfish with free, but, "Houston, we have a problem." https://apnews.com/24e2247bb296d6381dc14c0cc1d27d96

It's easy to do this after the government takes citizens guns away from them.
