Carona Deaths??

Just think about this, too:  If you die of a heart attack, and test positive, for CV, they list your death as caused by CV...

The 20,000 deaths due to the VIRUS are over a 4 week period... And that is with the country SHUT DOWN.... What would it be in a years time, without the Social Distance ?

If your looking for a COMPARISON, then look at the 1918 Spanish FLU... thats a good comparison...

It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919.    In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.

Not sure how to take your reply . 1918 medicinal technology was nowhere NEAR what's available today . To me, this is not a true comparison

Like one man said, "Go out there and live your life as before and you will be killing your parents and grandparent".  I would imagine your wife and kids, friends and neighbors as well.  If you don't social distance you are the problem.  The last guidelines I've heard is "wear a mask whenever you go outside".

I went to the CDC's website and poked around a little and got very depressed real quick.  It said that it will be widespread and most Americans will get it.  It also had lots of charts on what the death rate is for certain existing conditions such as age, heart disease, being diabetic.  I guess the best thing is to avoid getting it for as long as possible so that medical treatments will improve and hopefully give us better odds of living through it.

I brought up this EXACT topic to a few guys at the jobsite, INCLUDING the home owner that is some type of ram rod at the local Catholic church(he's 63), and the consensus is, this is blown WAY out of proportion due to the media. The adiment church goer was the MOST vocal about this being "fake news", scare tactics by the media . Now I hear that GM is going to start manufacturing respirators ?? Hopefully headlights/driving lights aren't required .

Here in Michigan our Governor has us in lockdown unless deemed essential and thankfully Farming is! There is great fear and panic about this plague. Rightfully so as only madmen would want to die! On the other side of the argument Governor's and Governments cannot save us all and people have to accept personal responsibility for their own lives and the lives of others! My Grandfather always wore a bandana and used it when dusty or extreme cold conditions and he was a 91 year old man when he passed! I wear a bandana now when I go to the store and nitrile gloves. I also sanitize anything I buy. I also believe that we are not building immunity to this virus by staying all locked up and could see an even worse outbreak this coming winter! I have lived through Polio, many other flu outbreaks. The Cuban Missile Crisis,60's Riots and Civil Rights/ Vietnam War protests and attacked by a Red and White Holstein Bull,Icestorms,Tornadoes, Blizzards. I feel the good lord willing and the creek don't rise to high I will be around some more years! As my Grampa Kline used to say " Get outside and let the wind blow the stink off of you "!

Why hasn't heart disease  shut down the nation?? This is getting WAY out of control IMO . Seriously, how many of you have any family/friends/neighbors that are currently in intensive care due to the Carona that doesn't already have some "on going" respiratory ailment?? A million vrs 23,000 . JMO is all. And to those that HAVE family/friends in the hospital, my prayers and sympathy.

You misinterpret what you read. Heart Disease takes a Lifetime of bad diet no exercise and poor habits, many cancers require DECADES to develop again off bad habits or misuse of materials. This disease kills within WEEKS if you get it and have underlying conditions, some die without those conditions. Almost as bad as being murdered in a alley by a mugger. THAT is a stat to compare it to.

Some people are getting meds and staying home with Covid-19 and serving also .

Don't quite have all your facts right. Hart Island has been used by New York as a potters field for over 150 years. Any body that hasn't been claimed within 14 days is sent there. All the pine boxes have the deceased's name on the outside and can be claimed by the family at a later date. Used the be the graves were dug by prisoners, but due to the large amount, and the risks of infecting prisoners, this is now being done by subcontractors.

I can't seem to find it.....Boss showed me the video on his phone Monday, wild looking, caskets flowing down a ramp. 

You want to know whats going on in Italy, France and Spain ?   Well they are a FKED MONKEY... Some have death rates 10x what the USA has. They got it 1-2 weeks before we did, so they are now working their way out of this MESS...
