Not a political thread at all but....
So I was curious as to how many people on average die in New York every day.
3 different sites gave a stat from 2015 saying 428 people die a day in New York State. 428X7=2996 2996X6=17,976 So I guess my question is how many of the numbers in New York State are just run of the mill deaths that, because autopsies can’t be done, are just being claimed covid-19 deaths to sensationalize something? |

Another thing, in my area we had nine deaths attributed to covid19, 4 or 5 of the 9 were 90 years or older, the youngest I heard was 75. When you get that old no doubt you have at least some serious medical conditions. I know some much younger people have died from the illness as well, but it seems the older you are the greater risk for dying from it.

Not only that, but the % of deaths is really MUCH lower than what is being portrayed due to the fact that most haven't even been tested. Many have it and are asymptomatic, which they would feel no need to get a test since not feeling sick. Instead of the death rate being 3% it is prolly way under 1%. I seen some discussing a report in Iceland IIRC about 50% of people infected were asymptomatic! |

Are we going to go through this every time China 19 comes around? It's here to stay ....there's no herd immunity to the flu..so why would we think that we can just wait this out at home.
How are we getting back to work...no vaccine no treatments other than to isolate at home ... our economy and lifestyle is wrecked for the next few years, if not the rest of the decade. |

I'm a very healthy and active 63 year old. I miss the gym more and more each day.

And I'm a very semi healthy and semi active 64 year old. Radiation treatments every Thursday afternoon for bladder cancer for a couple more weeks. And stage 3b kidney disease. But yesterday I did 5 super sets of Olympic bar curls and skull crushers using 135lbs with relative ease. This was before my radiation treatment. All things considered I feel great. But I'm probably one of the high risk elderly.

Well here is a situation, my sister in-law had it and there 3 kids and husband, she works for penn hospital and they cleared her for work after only 5 days! The tests are crap! She took two instant tests and were okay, then took the real test and came up positive. The testing is garbage and I think we just need to roll with this and just open shit up again. If you get sick, be smart, stay home and wait it out!!

My concern is if we open everything back up to soon, the hospitals are going to be swamped and there will be no way to treat everyone. This will drive up the death rate and will make everything last longer.

Actually I believe deaths that were not caused by C19 are being counted as caused by C19. Two reasons that were given to me by my physician who received this guidance as part of the CDC mandates for reporting along with every other doc in America:
1. If no C19 test is available but there is evidence of C19 symptoms, the CDC now counts that as a C19 case. Could be many other viruses but they are labeling the not sure box as a C19 case. 2. If a patient has a C19 test that is yes or an assumed case as per #1 above, and dies of any cause, it is counted as a C19 death is the stats. That’s right if you have C19 and get a heart attack or hit by a car you died of C19. My doc says he gets 28% extra money for C19 cases and states get extra money for each C19 case and death. It all makes sense to me now. |

Sounds like the standard practice of medicare fraud. Doing unnecessary test knowing medicare will pay for it, upselling if so to speak.

Karma is never instant, but be sure that eventually you reap what you sow.
