Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do You Believe This ? Fauci Warns 100-200K Americans Could Die!

You have been nominated for the True Believer Award by The Weak Sisters of Saint Gullible. Congratulations!

I've been asking employees who have dealt with the public - if anybody there has become sick co-19 . Piggly Wiggly/Publix/Kroger , auto zone , wendys , and lots of others . Girl at Publix said 2 people in a Miami store tested positive boyfriend & girlfriend .
She was early 20's and believed the scare was mostly polically driven and was up on the info. of every death is a C0-19 death . Great to see a young person - especially a female - who doesn't trust the MSM .

Amazing at the number of older folks who still don't know what ''fake news media'' means .
People around here freaked out over $1200 ? $12,000 would make me smile - [not really] because it puts the country further in debt .

The numbers are indeed inflated. It was a bold move to put extra $$ in the relief bill for hospitals dealing with COVID cases. As hospitals have cut all elective procedures and people are afraid to go there, they are losing their asses. Why would't you list COVID and try to close the income gap that has been created. I'm sure the pressure is from administrators and bean-counters to get the funding necessary to stay afloat.

Lot of graphs and numbers floating around, and none have been accurate. Even as the CDC numbers lag by eight weeks, the total number of deaths nationwide from all causes is down. I doubt the eight weeks worth of data will make a 4% jump in overall deaths. We are playing a shell game and just shuffling the numbers.

What has been accomplished:
A new protected class - healthcare workers
There will be COVID related health issues that make people government dependent - The news cycle is starting to push the underlying conditions that are the result of the disease. PTSD will be one of them.
We have successfully alienated one another and changed social contact - The mask is a muzzle.
The new push will be the open display of firearms inhibits the democratic process - news cycle has picked up the Michigan vote that was under duress.

Just watch as things are forced upon us and we sit as frogs in a pot.

And yes, I have had a family member with a verified case. In a nursing home even (you know, the death camps). Even with his underlying condition he has been recovered for some time as many of the residents have.

Every year in the US there are 160,000 deaths from accidents. 75% happen in the home. Locking yourself up in your house may not be as safe as you think. With so many people staying at home, those numbers are likely to be much higher this year.

After a month of wives putting up with bored husbands stuck at home I would bet money on the incidents of "accidents" rising.

I would also be betting these will mostly involve heavy objects.

Danged right I believe it. If you fire 20% of working Americans from their jobs and cut back the pay of another 30% (so far), you're gong to get at least that many from spousal abuse, depression, drugs, robberies gone bad, and suicides.

Who elected Fauci anyway?

Very good point.

Well there you go, 100,000 US deaths: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/health/us-coronavirus-wednesday/index.html

I know we all want this to go away but the dead are still dead and it only took 3 months. There will be more to come and it is sad that this grim statistic has become political.

Before this got going, when we considered it another flu, only worse, I figured if you take the seasonal flu with a death rate of 0.1% and the average of 35,000 and multiplied it by the death rate we were seeing aboard the cruise ships of 0.6 % that equals 210,000. But the death rate varies from the0.4% of Germany to the 1.16% of NYC. So the 200,000 seemed logical. The other kicker, it's more contagious , and flu doesn't infect that large a % of the population. I've never heard of math being political . So it could go beyond the 200,000 when it's over.

Could be.

All the liberals gotta do is fake another 100k.

They say the first 100k is the hardest.

If it's like the Spanish flu, there could be a couple more waves yet COVID-20, COVID-21? Nah, can't be, this is unprecedented. Swedes may be on the right track, in which case Aussie and NZ may have screwed themselves - our politicians are wanting us to pat ourselves on the back for doing so well.

More people dead in 2 months than we lost in Vietnam in 20 years. More dead in 3 months than Vietnam and Korea combined. The survival rate for the 1st wave at Normandy was higher than the survival rate of those who were diagnosed with Covid in this country. People in most developed countries have better survival rates than us.

It won't be hard to figure out if the numbers are overstated, or understated. The truth will come out. The average number of people who die each day/week/month etc is pretty constant and predictable at about 8000/day for all causes. The numbers I'm seeing are showing about 10% more dead per day on average since Jan1, so call it another 800 per day. Today is the 147th day of 2020. 147X800=117,600

Will be interesting to see what actions are taken against China on this.

In England doing the numbers is easier, just one country. What with states and counties having different ways of recording of data, exact numbers might not be up to date. In England as of today they are saying 37,000 COVID-19 deaths. But the Nation Statistics service has a 57,000 deaths above the 5 year average. This trend of under reporting is pretty common in Europe..

Here's a classic blast from the past.

The field hospital set up in the Shehawk's stadium was removed after three days.

Having treated exactly zero patients.

I don't know, as viruses go the Covid seems fairly benevolent.
I mean, if you had to choose a pandemic to suffer through, one that nearly eliminates all other causes of death has to rank fairly high and I admire that aspect of Covid's game.

What are we going to do about Aliens?

Yeah, sure, if we all.take his and Gates' vaccine.
