Signy, just in case you're not keeping track, SoCal data is dire - last I knew about a week ago positivity rates were at 11% (I think they're higher now), and as of last night there were all of 20 ICU beds left in all of SoCal (KNX1070), with many hospitals having no beds left. Transmission is now rampant household-to-household, and within households. (KNX107)
Stay safe!
With the holidays, people will be tempted to relax their precautions "just this once" and prolly accelerate the spread even faster. Also, drinking alcohol lowers inhibitions.
We should be looking at mid-January and later to see the effects of the holidays.

What fear?
I'm the guy who's entire family decided they're staying home for Christmas after deciding a month earlier they were all staying home for Thanksgiving.
That's on them. It ain't on me.
Fuck your fake pandemic, Karen.

I can imagine you were extremely disappointed when nobody in your family bought into your narrative.
I'm curious - when the CDC officially reports that the US lifespan dropped by 3 years in 2020 are you going to call it fake news? Are you going to say they were ready to kick off anyway? Or what?

Who said nobody bought into it?
I was just down with my brother last weekend with my dad, and we didn't sit around wearing facemasks while we were in the apartment or in his car. My Grandma asks me nearly every day if I'm coming over for Christmas too, but my Aunt that lives with her doesn't let anybody come by now.
There's plenty of people who agree with me. They just live with wackjobs. I'm SUPER impressed with their staggering show of cowardice.
P.S. Fuck what the CDC says. Fucking WMD's all over again.
You're a hypocrite and an idiot.

Yanno, I NEVER bought into WMDs, was one of the very few people arguing against all of that here, and took more than my share of shit for it from the usual suspects.
I never bought into it because all there was was WH/ Pentagon/ State Department say-so, with no actual - what's that word again? - EVIDENCE. (Just like I never bought into the RUSSIA!!!RUSSIA!!!RUSSIA!!! stampede for the same reason.)
But believing something with no evidence is merely the opposite of not believing sometime for which there is a ton of evidence.
Personally, I follow the evidence. And there's not only my personally witnessed evidence for COVID-19, but the statements of the people who work in hospitals and clinics, and indeed of countries from around the world with political intentions as diverse as Ireland and India and Iceland, Russia and the Republic of Congo. And they're all saying the same thing.
And I'm not so deluded as to think the whole world is conspiring just to gaslight the people of the US, or moi in particular.
Now, what one wants to with that information is a completely different topic. But especially here in SoCal, I think it calls for personal safety measures.
As for your BS, I'm happy for you that you can close your eyes to hundreds of thousands of excess deaths and call it all 'fake'.

I know you didn't buy into the WMDs. That's why you're a fucking hypocrite now.
It's a grand social experiment. I said so since day one.
Mass hysteria, inflicted upon us by the Legacy Media.
You're a tool.

BTW, no you DIDN'T say so from day one. There was a time when you were all over the JH numbers. But then ... they didn't go your way.
What does your family say when you tell them every news item from anywhere in the world over all this time through any media you can think of is all faked?

Yes I did. But I also was over the JH numbers for YOUR benefit.
Go back through my post history. Once this started spreading here and they were starting to talk about possibly shutting down stuff I said it.

They don't believe the media any more than I do, about anything. They're certainly not taking any vaccines.
To this day, I still don't know a single person who's had it, unless you include the guy who did my gutters who I finally stopped chasing to get something fixed that his guys messed up after he used Covid as an excuse during the last few weeks of reasonable outdoor working weather.
The only people my old man knows who "died of it" were two women over 100 years old that my step-mom used to "babysit". One of them happened very early on and she died alone since they wouldn't let any of her kids or grand kids in to say goodbye to her.
Aside from some "numbers" thrown around everyday, there is ZERO evidence that any of this is even going on for most people.
If there were no internet, we would not be locked down today. If this were the mid-90's, people wouldn't stand for it, because they wouldn't have their smart phones constantly drilling them with fear and/or guilt. This isn't the Spanish Flu. This isn't the Bubonic Plague. Nobody is piling bodies out in the street and burning them.
Those numbers are pure bullshit and are stolen from other causes of death.
You're going to see a huge increase in suicides this year, as well as domestic abuse cases, divorces, murders and a lowering of the average American's quality of life that dwarfs the dot-com and housing market bubbles. And the longer this goes on, those numbers grow exponentially.
We're destroying everything over nothing.

Quote:How many people do you know, Jack and keep up with so that you know what's going on in their lives? With your extreme disinterest in anybody but yourself, I'd be surprised if it's over 10. And, you know for a FACT the gutter installer was using COVID-19 as an excuse and he didn't have really it?

Quote:I'm sure your family only watch a very limited selection of media.
They don't believe the media any more than I do, about anything.
But that's not what ** I'm ** asking about. What ** I'm ** asking about is what looks like YOUR belief that every research paper in every publication from around the world, every clinical study, every paper on every pre-print server, and every publication from French-language LeMonde and Paris Match (I read French) to English-language Xinhua ... literally EVERYBODY - every government, every bit of research, every publication, every tweet, on the entire planet - is faking COVID-19 as some grand social experiment.
Because if that's what YOU believe, that sounds nuts.
Quote:They're just stacking them in reefers. But I guess that doesn't count with you. Because it's not about you.

Quote:And what if there were so MANY excess deaths that the average US lifespan drops 3 years for every single person in the US in 2020? What will you say then?
Those numbers are pure bullshit and are stolen from other causes of death.
Meanwhile, you're making predictions that may or may not come true.
In any case, I don't expect you'll trust any numbers at all that come up that don't go your way. The only numbers that you'll trust, the only data that you'll trust, the only verbal communication from anyone that you'll trust, is what you already agree with.

Time to see how the old predictions held up, and post a new one.
Quote:It was 266,170.
The previous ensemble forecast, published November 5, projected up to 266,000 coronavirus deaths by November 28.
Quote:It was 281,222.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts there will be 260,000 to 282,000 coronavirus deaths by December 5, according to a forecast published Thursday.
Quote:It was a bit under 32,000.

html nearly another 60,000 people could lose their lives over the next three weeks, according to an ensemble forecast published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week (November 27, 2020 through December 11, 2020.
Quote:A new prediction has similar number.
Another widely-used Covid-19 model is predicting 438,941 deaths by March 1. That model is run by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
But if states relax restrictions and mask mandates, deaths could hit a staggering 587,000 by March 1, the IHME said.
Quote:That's a bit over half a million total by the end of February.
Nearly 332,000 Americans have died of Covid-19. Another 193,000 could lose their lives over the next two months, according to predictions from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
