We should be grateful for good news in Georgia

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Atlanta is not burning. Bodies are not piled up in the streets. Hospitals in Georgia are not being overwhelmed; in fact, they are virtually empty. There is no mad rush for ventilators (remember those?). Instead, men, women, and children in the Peach State are returning to some semblance of normal life: working outside their homes, going to restaurants and bars, getting haircuts, exercising, and most important, spending time with their friends and families and worshipping God. The opening that began more than three weeks ago is continuing apace.
Oh, my apologies, you were waiting for bad news? Sorry, I forgot, we were actually not supposed to be rooting for the virus. Despite the apparent relish behind headlines like "Georgia's Experiment in Human Sacrifice," one assumes that most Americans, even the ones most committed to omnidirectional prophecies of doom, were actually hoping this would happen. While it really is a shame that we do not get to gloat about the cravenness and stupidity of yet another GOP politician, I think on balance most of us will be glad to hear that Gov. Brian Kemp was not badly wrong here.
What is happening instead of the widely predicted bloodbath? Confirmed cases of the virus are obviously increasing (though the actual rolling weekly average of new ones have been headed down for nearly a month) while deaths remain more or less flat. This is in fact what happens when you test more people for a disease that is not fatal or even particularly serious for the vast majority of those who contract it, for which the median age of death is higher than the American life expectancy.
How was this possible? One answer is that the lockdown did not in fact do what it was supposed to do, which is to say, meaningfully impede transmission of the virus. In fact, data both from states like Georgia and from abroad suggests that the lifting of lockdowns is positively correlated with a decrease in rates of infection. This could be because lockdowns are inherently ineffective at slowing down a disease whose spread appears to be largely intrafamilial and nosocomial.
It could also be the weather. That's right: another thing that we were told months ago not even to suggest aloud because it would be irresponsible to make assumptions of any kind about the virus, even sensible ones, like the idea that wearing masks just might help slow it down. This is not science. COVID-19 arrived from China, not from outer space. Unsurprisingly, it appears to behave very much like other respiratory viruses, including influenza. It hates sunlight and the outdoors generally and prefers cramped stuffy conditions, like those found in public transit systems and dense housing complexes with poor ventilation.
Horowitz: The CDC confirms remarkably low coronavirus death rate. Where is the media?

Most people are more likely to wind up six feet under because of almost anything else under the sun other than COVID-19.
The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago.

Honestly, I'm not sure what you both are laughing about.
You've been wrong about literally everything up to this point, and a lot less people have died and will die in the future because you were wrong.
Sounds like good news to everybody but the Deep State and the Karens.

Is laughing at people who were right about everything all along some sort of emotional tick among the Karens now that they've been proven to be cowardly shills for the Deep State?

SIX, the only reason why I'm laughing at you is because you're constantly misstating or misunderstanding whatever I've posted. It's like you're turning into a GSTRING.
Oh, and that you've been wrong about everything you've posted so far.

You say that, yet you haven't pointed out one single thing I've been wrong about yourself.
Numbers are coming out that blow your idiocy and panic out of the water. The CDC and the WHO are constantly backpedaling everything they once said was true and now videos that were suppressed and censored for going against them are now true.
This "disease" isn't shit. It never was. I always said as much.
Your panic is laughable. It has been from the beginning.
As more time goes by you will be an even bigger joke than you already are.
It will be quite amusing when you wake up one day and realize what a tool you've allowed yourself to become.
A sorry, sad-sack Deep State tool, not at all dissimilar from the idiots on this board that bought into Maddow and Olbermann's "Russia, Russia, Russia!" bullshit.

You are the one who has been posting every tiny little study under the sun that gave the worst possible news as if we should be grinding the nation to a halt because some half-baked test in Korea said that you can get it twice, or some idiot in California with a white lab coat said that your toes could fall off down the road if you catch it now.
You're also the first to push the absolute worst death rate numbers in everyone's faces constantly, with a tiny little rider at the end of your posts saying essentially "I could be wrong, possibly", as if that gives you a get out of jail free card for pushing propaganda.
You're a fear monger. A Deep State tool.
I haven't been wrong about any of it.
What time hasn't already proven me right about what I've been saying it will as more legit data starts coming out.
But keep laughing, Karen.

I ALSO posted the good news.
And btw, there's such a thing as being INTERESTED without being panicked. Because, yanno, this was my area of interest, study, and professional work for over half my life.

I never believed any of it from the beginning, and now that legit data is beginning to surface it turns out I was right, just like I usually am.
You, however, are a fear monger and a Deep State tool.
My brother already knows how I feel, and he agrees with me. What makes you think that I'm not honest about my feelings about this with people in my lives? What also makes you think that I don't apply those same standards to myself and what should happen to me when I'm old and sick either?

SIX, I'm looking for indications of "panic" in my posts about SARS-Cov2 and I don't find any ...

One thing he did mention many times is that there are only a limited number of test kits... in his estimation, each hospital is getting only 100 kits per day, and that the hospitals are EXTREMELY reluctant to test people if they don't believe that the patient is seriously sick with flu.
IF TRUE, that does a couple of things ... it reduces the total number of diagnosed patients. At the same time, it drastically increases the measured death rate, since asymptomatic/ mildly symptomatic people would never be tested positive. The only way to get a true death rate is near-universal testing of at least one sub-population.

China has in the past built "instant" structures ... hospitals, apartment complexes, skyscrapers, bridges etc. They're fully capable of that. If they're really doing it, then they either perceive a real epidemic problem, or a real political one (in which the local government ... which everyone knows are more corrupt than the national one ... sat on a secret and hoped it would go away, leaving the national government to contain the political fallout.

As I read the paper, the "function" of those snippets of genome is "host recognition and binding". In other words, they would make the virus much more infectious (is that the correct word?) i.e. able to grab onto the human host cell more efficiently than a regular corona virus.
If that's the case, then that might explain the unusually high R-naught that some people seem to be estimating.
Feb2
The latest figures point to a roughly 2% fatality rate.
One good thing about the virus moving out of China is that we'll get better numbers, because (again, if I believe the Chinese social media) the Wuhan government is so overwhelmed and test kits are so scarce relative to the demand that nobody has any good figures on R-naught and death rate.
But clearly this isn't Ebola, with a 90% death rate.
Feb3
It seems to me, KIKI, that this whole concept of "insertions" should be easily proved or disproved. There was one team than said they found them. Well, they're either there, or they're not. They're either part of the "host cell recognition and docking" mechanisms, or they're not.
Where are the other virologists to either replicate or dispute the findings?
Because IF the insertions are there, and IF they're unprecedented to coronaviruses, and IF they have a function in the virus and increase infectivity, THEN that should tell people an awful lot about what governments do in secret. And when I say that "they have no moral or ethical boundaries to cross" I would have to expand the scope of my imagination to encompass that.
Feb11
With a 2.5% fataltiy rate, this would not be an extinction-level event. It would be just the old and pulmonary-compromised people (like me) who would be sickled off the end of the population-curve.
Now, if this were Ebola (60-90+% fatality rate, and the last big scare) ... THAT would be a near-extinction-level event!
What an outbreak of NOCOV-19 across the world would do is disrupt economies immensely, as people "hunkered down" and tried to reverse-quarantine. Since most people don't have the resources (either food or money) to stay at home for anything more than a day or two ... doomed to failure.
Curiously, the Mormons would probably fare well. Apparently they have this "thing" about storing food at home and institutionally (in the Church) for emergencies.

China reports huge jump in new infections...
Phone makes it difficult to copy, but Hubei reported an additional 14,840 infections and 242 deaths, due to a change in definition (AGAIN). Originally they were including asymptomatic people who tested positive. Then they started excluding asymptomatic people who tested positive. Then they reversed their previous change and are now including asymptomNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
