Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[Will Hunting]

Today I lost another work colleague and friend to this disease. And I don't understand why people keep arguing over this. I'm boots on the ground--I see this crap all day almost everyday. And what I see here is a bunch of "experts" who because the CDC said this, or I read the literature, I saw it on TV/internet, etc I know better blah blah blah. What you hear and what you see is not always what is happening but the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Should you be alarmed, concerned, worried, scared whatever? If you value your life and those of your own, then yes. Treat this as a threat. Play it safe. Follow standard precautions, social distance, stay home if you can... that's how you can help/protect yourself.
If you think this is the flu or a hoax, at least have the common decency to wear a mask out in public because some of us who don't agree with your stance are obligated to do our jobs--taking care of the sick, keeping the stores open, responding to emergencies, etc.
Also, I don't know about all of Texas, but the facilities/hospitals that I frequent are nearing capacity with COVID patients and I'm afraid that we're about to get crushed. I hope that isn't the case but I'm not feeling very optimistic. Hopefully, we can all find some common ground here--so we can get out of this. I'm tired.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Thank you for putting your life on the life to try to save our lives even if not all of us seem to value your work nor safety sadly.

Yep. Any healthcare worker exposing himself to this day in and day out to care for people at risk of dying is a hero. We should all be able to agree with that.

Show me where I have been crying about daily counts.

You cant even read.
Now you are restating what I said.
A histogram is not a continuum, its data comes in discrete chunks (already stated and you disagreed an now you are implying agreement), otherwise they would not present it as such. When they draw a line between columns in the histogram they are actually assuming time is a continuum but they really just want to blur one day into another to get an overall outlook and therefore must do some sort of averaging. You dont know anything about graphs and what they mean.

Now I dont know what the fck you are even saying, I said absolutely nothing about January. You are just answering or restating your own views and pretending I commented on them.

You can lie so easily, so Trumpish.

Manipulated data for a political purpose is worse than no data.
This is what you love to do, and complain about science.

bwahahahahahaha mwltdown.

You're wrong. You dont even understand how rhe data is calculated. Bwahahahha your post shows it. Sad you don't understand math or logic. Ahhahahahhahaa

I'm ex military (served 13 months in Afghanistan) now I'm here doing this. I'm sorry but I really hate when people say this--it's like we've been given the OK to sacrifice our lives or those of our loved ones for people we don't know or will ever meet. We do what we do because it's our job, we took an oath, and we want to help but no one wants to die.
If people want to show gra ude, help us out so we too can be safe and have a long life.

But just increased testing, hospitalizations flat, cough before you die and you're a COVID death, just the flu, etc, etc

Dr. Marc Boom, of Houston Methodist, said those numbers don’t fully tell the capacity story.

“Just that number is being misinterpreted and, quite frankly, we’re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now,” Boom said.

weebo, your thoughts?^

I don't know a Dr Boom. You have to understand MD are human too. Some down play it and some over hype it. As I mentioned--the truth lies somewhere in between. I'll also add this--there's a lot of incompetent MD out there. If you happen to fall ill for any reason (not specially to CV19), doc and question everything. Just sayin...

This is pathetic

By "the flu" no less! America

Aside from 0-17, these charts line up pretty evenly with the population % of each of these age groups.

That seems like a side note. Yes it's interesting and a good eye but it does not explain why the elderly death rate would increase because the infection rate of lower age people increased. How are the older people dying at a higher rate if they're not in getting infected at a higher rate?

Dude you're the last motherfuker that should be commenting on this. You were here just recently lamenting about how you were dying of ing covid.

I had the symptoms and was sick as a dog for days working overtime. It's quite possible that I did just like many people out there right now. Was I sure? Not entirely and never said I was sure that I did. Even you said I didn't need a test, shouldn't have to be tested, and just stay home. That's what happened. So, I'm not sure what your point is, fat man.

The next useful thing you say will be the first. You have so much word salad and you provide absolutely nothing in the process.

I have run the numbers, based on what the hospitals themselves have been saying. If I am right, it is too late for Texas.

I wish you and your coworkers well, and am sorry for what is about to happen.

What do you call the person who graduated last in their class at medical school?






Doctor.

DMC is a master projector. If you aren't like most here and scroll right past his posts, you'll notice most of his directed attacks are usually projections of he's done here for years. Really. It's uncanny how often he does it.

Ok Jethro..

You didnt stay home. You didnt quarantine. You showed your level of concern for others, pussy.
