Seems like that happens during normal times in the DR.

Not if they’re all under 65 years old.

The solution to returning to a degree of normalcy in the workplace may be to isolate high risk people like me until a vaccine is available. It’s a sacrifice I would be willing to make.

There are exceptions, of course. But the article below shows that younger, relatively healthy people are not affected nearly as much as senior citizens, especially those with underlying health issues.

Ada, I found this on the CDC site. I would like to have more updated stats closer to today, but this is what I found thus far. If you are 45 years old or younger, you have an infinitesimal chance of dying from COVID. It really illustrates age being the main variable.

Death by age group in the U.S. from Covid from Feb. 1 to April 11:
  • Under 1 year - no deaths.
  • Age 1-4 years - 2 deaths
  • Age 5-14 years - 1 death
  • Age 15-24 years - 13 deaths (out of 5,000 deaths for this age group overall in that same time period)
  • Age 25-34 years - 113 deaths (out of 11,000 deaths overall)
  • Age 35-44 years - 289 deaths (out of 16,000 deaths overall)
  • Age 45-54 years - 751 deaths (out of 30,000 deaths overall)
  • Age 55-64 years - 1,773 deaths (out of 74,000 deaths overall)
  • Age 65-74 years - 2,919 deaths (out of 114,500 deaths overall)
  • Age 75-84 years - 3,576 deaths (out of 144,000 deaths overall)
  • 85+ years - 3,693 deaths (out of 182,766 deaths overall)

The bill of rights you say? Is that the thing above governors pay grade?
 
Newer data appears to indicate that plaquenil has been quite safe...but also ineffective.
 
The United States now has at least 40,585 reported coronavirus deaths, per Johns Hopkins University. That is a crazy number considering its been a thing for like 3 months.

59,000 Americans died in Vietnam... to put that in perspective.

Bullets are not contagious.

And for those which actually like perspective, close to 100K people die on average from hospital borne infections.

How many deaths did you think we would have at the beginning of this Covid-19 thing?

The virus says it does not count as either does yours.

And don't you have more propaganda pictures to post for all to see what truly lies within your being? Less shallowness would do the world good.

Instead of trying to fix the world, which is a very admirable trait, why don't you just focus your energy on yourself. We all have flaws and it is nerve racking to think that people will spend their lives on this planet always trying to find flaws in others. Find that mirror and give it a thorough cleaning.

saw one report...

US is 8th in deaths per 1 mill ....ratio

NY area ALONE is 1st is separated...US drops to 11th I believe.

just food for thought...so yes the media hysteria is a bit overboard.

USC-LA County report, similar to Stanford's, was released today.

They state those actually infected in LA county was 28 to 55 times higher than the confirmed cases.

Similar study being started in NY. Will be very interesting to see the results. Over 1% of the population had tested positive as of last week, so 28-55x would be an astronomical number. I have my doubts that it will be anywhere near the high end of >60%, but wouldn't be completely shocked if the lower end of 20-30% was true. My understanding is that NY has tested at one of the highest rates in the world, which I doubt is true of the west coast, so the numbers will likely be lower.

They need to be doing this in a few areas around the country, and making the results a big deal. Either way, the results need to be reported everywhere. This is the kind of thing that can support us opening back up pretty quickly if true. I'm all for that, but it sure would be nice to have a few studies like this to support the cause. Again, a few of us around here have long suspected this to be the case.
