Something like 80% of the whole TX population lives in one of these tiny red areas.

You're right however the biggest city in Texas had a population size of 2.3 million while New York City had a population of 8.5 million.

I'm not saying NYC did a good job because they didn't but trying to make this a political thing is asinine and ignoring certain factors is disingenuous

And if we want to talk blue states why not mention California which has done pretty well overall

I can't tell if you're trolling, have some serious personal problems, or just have a weird fetish.

You're an odd man Rig

Why do you want this to be worse than it really is [so far]?

I got my facts from the US census and there's a difference between the city of Dallas and Dallas metro

It’s almost like lockdown policies aren’t that big of a factor in determining the scale of damage done by the virus relative to other factors like density, etc. Maybe we shouldn’t have imposed restrictions on all areas of the country because New York, New Orleans, etc. had issues.

Well, Dallas is a new city with lots of sprawl so it only makes sense to capture the entire population. NYC has finite area being on islands, so its obviously going to be more dense in the city center but if you discount the Dallas suburbs you're ignoring 83% of the population (1.2 out of 7.2 live in the city limits). NYC 59% of people live in CL vs MSA.

Two very different cities with very dense populations.

CDC's latest report.

quote:

The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago.





Stanford study from April.

That's all well and good, but they've moved on to the next boogie man: MIS-C. This one hurts the children!

And with the CDC stating that they project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, I renew my statement that the 80,000 (now 95,000?) supposed COVID deaths in the US is absolutely NOT accurate.

Also, this pretty much confirms that significantly more people than thought have had this virus and were just mildly sick to completely asymptomatic, and didn't know they had it, and that it almost assuredly was here prior to January.


If they're tossing around those staggering numbers this early, they're only going to go higher/improve as more testing and data is collected and more studies are done.

And yet H1V1, which killed over 1800 children in 2009, wasn't enough of a concern during the Obama administration to warrant the closing of schools much less anything else.
Bottom line: the response to Covid-19, which has only killed 10 children in the U.S., has been mostly political with a goal of destroying the U.S. economy leading up to the national election in November.

Some of you people beat anything I've ever seen. Nearly 100,000 dead with sadly more on the way. Almost 2 million infected, again with more to come, and you're still trying to downplay this, push conspiracy theories, or claim the numbers are wrong with not a lick of evidence to back that assertion up.

Case in point. This country is filled with stupid people who don't believe in science, don't listen to medical experts, and instead would rather push nonsense and listen to a BS peddler like Trump.

Some of you need psychiatric help.

frick off, you TDS afflicted little bitch.

I just posted a link from the CDC showing a 0.26% IFR and a 35% asymptomatic rate. And guess what, those numbers are going to continue improving, too.

Meaning the IFR will go down even more, and the asymptomatic rate will continue rising.

They already make you and the other doomer idiots in this thread, along with the a-hole "experts" who predicted 4%+ mortality rate and 2.2 million deaths, look like monumental buffoons and political hacks.

If you can't understand why some of us are pissed off at how this thing was grossly exaggerated for the purpose of exploiting and weaponizing it against Trump and non-Dems for political purposes, all at our and the economy's expense, then frick you and eat a bag of dicks. YOU are the problem. Not us. fricking YOU, bitch.

Last week, Colorado literally reduced their totals by 20% by looking into some actual causes of death. They had car accident victims and cancer patients in their death totals.....

Also just heard that Washington State is now looking into it after someone saw that a murder victim was added to the official COVID death totals there.

If anyone is pushing and pumping this, it’s the media. Half of all deaths are in the NY/NJ areas and most of those are elderly and nursing home victims.

When you start to realize they are calling anyone that dies a COVID death just because they test positive, you’ll understand this is all a policy pushing, money grab

ETA:

Also just saw that Birx said that the total deaths could be massively inflated and "There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust"

So when NY just added 3700 people on one day to their death totals, that they DIDN'T EVEN TEST, you're telling me there's no frickery involved?

How can you be so insanely dishonest and live with yourself? Good lord please receive a karma beat down soon.

The conspiracy is only theory until proof comes out that everything isn't on the up and up.

Random update-

GA daily new covid hospitalizations are 72 (7 day moving average).

On April 28, when Georgia "reopened", that number was 157 (7 day moving average).


I am posting this because I had a liberal friend message me to say he's hearing hospitalization rates are rising in GA. He texted me because he knows I'm tracking the numbers independently of any media outlet, even though he's 180* opposite on politics.

In case any of you start hearing that GA hospitalizations are trending up, know that it is made-up bullshite.
