Coronavirus Cases: 27,202,829. Deaths: 885,764. Recovered: 19,288,016.

So by the time i guess it's safe to say that covid's lethality is higher than the flu's.
However, take care of yourselves and the ones you love.

@Bitcoin:
No sweat. We are still above weekly EMA(21) and never went under EMA(200) this year in the weekly, but for the covid dip.
Who tf can still be bearish?

According to the CDC's own website data for the U.S., 94% of Covid-19 deaths had comorbities with some other cause of death (e.g., flu, pneumonia, heart disease, diabetes, organ failure, heart attack, blunt force trama, cancer, etc.).

Only 6% of related Covid-19 deaths were tagged as "Covid only" as the cause (11,569 people in the U.S.).

Also, 99% of Covid-related deaths were over the age of 65. The majority were 70+.

Weird. Last time I heard anything from Edan Yago, he was telling us at Bitcoin 2013 San Jose Conference about a micronation he was in negotiations with a host nation to allow within their borders. OK, not really a micronation, but an Economic Autonomous Zone. As history hath shewn, it never really came to pass.

Mea Culpa. I was wrong. Sorry for propagating misinfo. And congratulations on your progress to date.

Incidentally - good to speak with you again

So good to see that WO is just chock full of love, peace, happiness, and all those other hippie things.

Hey I don't mind going full family style, especially if SwingStar321 is OK with it.

If you take out comorbidities then almost no one would "officially" die from an illness. Many/most people over 65 do have comorbidities in the strict sense.

Most of the covid infected people that die do so because of an acute pneumonia, if you exclude that your stats are useless.

Also, are you sure about 99% of covid related deaths were over the age of 65? Source?

I do agree that the majority were over 70+ though.

is 99% already not more than enough to be considered a majority?

Go look it up, all the data is there on the CDC's own website.

Also fun fact: The numbers of deaths in the 94% group? Pretty much right in line with # of deaths in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, etc.

is 99% already not more than enough to be considered a majority?

Apparently not to those that want to fear and treat Covid-19 as the second coming of the plague.

 It depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is.

does anyone still believe that crap? afaik they still don't have a remotely reliable test. 

Governments can eat a bag of dicks, with a side of their own fear.  In the mean time I sure hope I don't get shot,  fall off a roof while choking on a hotdog and die of covid.

OK, that's a relation, but how was the data collected?
Do we know if, for example, recorded heart attack victims were diagnosed covid19 post mortem or vice versa?
Even if a flu patient dies of a heart attack, the flu is considered as reason of death, afaik.

Only 6% of related Covid-19 deaths were tagged as "Covid only" cause (11,569 people in the U.S.).
Also, 99% of Covid-related deaths were over the age of 65. The majority were 70+.

How do these two figures compare to the flu, by the way?

Still a lot to learn about Covid19 but the virus itself quite sure isn't faked, unlike some are confidently spreading that Covid "isn't real"...

[Torque]

But that's the rub. Most people that take issue are denying the risk level that the MSM and govt is pushing, not that Covid-19 "isn't real" or "doesn't exist". I'm quite sure that it does exist.

But those people, the majority, get labeled as "conspiracy theorists" or "Covid deniers" and get thrown in with the wackos anyway.

You forgot the media.
It's not exactly the virus that creates all the new chaos, but it's more how society* is handling it.

*You can reduce "society" to governments and media as well, because they are the most prominent drivers of fear.

The above statement was by no means meant personally, but as an example of the extremes that are results of the ways humans are handling their own subconscious fears.

The fact that only the old people are dying of corona virus doesnt mean that coronavirus is harmless to young people

Organ damage caused by COVID-19
Organs that may be affected by COVID-19 include:

Heart. Imaging tests taken months after recovery from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future.
Lungs. The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems.
Brain. Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

-from https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351


If corona virus isnt stopped and everyone gets infected millions upon millions of people will either be dead, or have lasting damage to their organs, which will ofcourse cause alot of pain and misery to those people and cost them alot of healthcare money especially in USA

In WO, in in my own P&S thread, and elsewhere, I have been shouting from the rooftops since March that people should stop panicking.  (Though there is something to panic about:  Impending extreme economic hardship, starvation, and unlimited tyranny...  I fear hunger more than I fear Covid!)  I saw that the self-destructive mass reaction was bad; so did many others, IIRC (?) including you.  If people don’t heed sound reason, I don’t see what the Chinese have to do with it—unless the Chinese somehow control other peoples’ governments, mainstream media, and masses of ordinary people who are blindly terrified into submission.

I think we agree.

My point was simply that the Covid-19 virus was not the second coming of the plague that every govt around the world *except China's* pretends it to be. The recent photos of them enjoying life almost to pre-Covid level days is the proof. And who would know better than the country where the virus originated in the first place, and with 1.4B people has the most to lose?

Why the hell is the rest of the world still in lockdown mode? This is fkn ridiculous.

Thanks. I couldn't be arsed to look it up, but that data is more consistent to the ones I had. Nice you did check out the specific source Torque was referring to.

I really don't understand this polarization between "we are all gonna die from covid" vs "it is completely irrelevant and people die just because they are old or ill". Manipulating the stats or simply spreading missinformation/fake data doesn't help either.

There are many people whose position about this particular subject is in a much more healthy and reasonable middle point.

I think it's because in the rest of the world (with minor exceptions) covid19 numbers are still rising, while china forcefully controlled the spreading rate.
It's a valid and healthy option, because china stopped everyday life to almost zero, until the virus didn't find new hosts. Economically risky, but it seems to work out.
Most other countries governments know they can't control their citizens to that degree china is able to, because of reasons (on both sides).
Sadly, north korea, a country led by a dictator shithead and his trusted influencers, is even able to present even lower numbers.

There are many people whose position about this particular subject is in a much more healthy and reasonable middle point.

Every position is mostly a result of past personal experiences.
