Sweden exposure/infection rate is supposedly somewhere between 20-30%.
This thread is going into full on hyperdrive. What's wrong, don't think we'll hit 6 digits?
Not to worry, we're doing as shitty a job as possible containing spread. We should still limp over the 100k death mark some time in June.
I fixed this for you (for which I did not receive a like from you, I might add):
We should still limp over the 100k death mark some time in MAY.
FTFY.
(Yes, it was, sadly, extremely obvious at the time you made the statement about limping over 100k deaths in June that we would easily blow through that number in May.)
People trying to peg down a nationwide CFR go down one peg in my mind
Hmmm...
There's clearly a problem with the CDC:
‘How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?’
I think it's this guy: The new CDC director was once accused of research misconduct
He has a history.
One of the researchers who first reported Redfield’s misuse of data has been speaking out publicly after news of Redfield’s appointment emerged, Kaiser Health News reported. “Either he was egregiously sloppy with data or it was fabricated,” said former Air Force Lt. Col. Craig Hendrix, who is now based at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “It was somewhere on that spectrum, both of which were serious and raised questions about his trustworthiness.”
Earlier, in the 1980s, Redfield called for mandatory HIV testing among military recruits and reporting of the results to health authorities, according to the science watchdog group CSPI.
He also called for segregating HIV-positive personnel in the military — policies that “most medical authorities at the time, including the CDC and the Surgeon General,” opposed, according to Sen. Patty Murray, the ranking Democrat on the health committee, who wrote a letter to President Donald Trump about the appointment. “This pattern of ethically and morally questionable behavior leads me to seriously question whether Dr. Redfield is qualified to be the federal government’s chief advocate and spokesperson for public health,” she wrote.
Yeah, that's why I'm discontinuing my participation in this thread. The reputable agencies have failed, checks and balances have failed, we've got choppers whipping around the White House lawn, and we'll just have to let this thing run its course and I will focus on protecting myself and my family and finances.
I will retreat to my happy places, if not physically all the time, at least in spirit. Good luck to all. The truth shall make you free.
