trump refused to work with the Democratic Governor, calling her ‘that woman’; remember, she gave the response to his putrid SOTU; it’s beyond incredulous that any woman in this country could support trump;

my best man has ‘multiple family’ members working at Henry Ford hospital; I know exactly how Detroit and Michigan are being ****ed over by trump as retribution, also to Rep. Dingell

How little credit you give to Republicans doing things you could never possibly imagine.

Covid-19 is a virulent common cold virus, extremely contagious, and arguably the worst cold virus yet. By all means it should be avoided. Much like any other cold, complications from this virus interacting with other ailments such as lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, pneumonia, influenza, etc. can cause death.

The Trump government never gives us a breakdown on the ages of those who have died. Probably because it would damage the message of doom they prefer. After all, Trump is a war President.

However, there is this from Business Insider, "80% of deaths associated with COVID-19 were among adults aged ≥65 years with the highest percentage of severe outcomes among persons aged ≥85 years." 80% of US coronavirus deaths have been among people 65 and older, a new CDC report says — here's what it reveals about the US cases.

During a recent press conference, Dr. Deborah Birx presented a rather startling graph. It showed that New York state and New Jersey, which is connected to the N.Y. city metro area, are anomalies. The rest of the states, all 48 of them, appear to have Covid-19 under control.

Dr. Birx also told us that, while the young do get infected, they recover. She said that the mortality rate "increases with age and preexisting medical conditions."

Age of Coronavirus Deaths

This is illuminating. Coronavirus Age, Sex, Demographics (COVID-19) - Worldometer

It shows the death rate of those below the age of 50 is infinitesimal. Which begs a question.

Are older people afflicted with Covid-19 who are already sick dying of lung disease, pneumonia, diabetes, influenza, heart disease, etc. or are they dying because of Covid-19?

COVID-19 has spread rapidly through nursing homes across New York, infecting nearly 4,200 elderly residents considered particularly vulnerable to the virus and killing more than 1,200, according to new state Health Department data.

The staggering figures show a dramatic rise in coronavirus cases and fatalities at state-licensed nursing homes that are home to 100,000 residents.

There are now 4,170 confirmed COVID-19 positive cases at 312 New York nursing homes — more than half of all such facilities — along with 1,231 resident deaths, the data shows. Nearly 30 percent of all nursing home residents who contract COVID-19 eventually die from the virus, the data shows.

In total, more than 17% of the 7,067 New Yorkers to succumb to COVID-19 lived at nursing facilities.

The latest data represents a 606% increase in nursing home cases, and a 1,331% hike in deaths since March 26.

New NY data shows COVID-19's devastating effect on nursing homes | Newsday

With all the depressing news we hear from Trump's press conferences and nonstop from the media, including the front page of our daily newspaper, we could use a little cheer.

Those of us not living in New York, Michigan, or Louisiana and are in good health regardless of age have little to fear. It is just a cold, probably a little worse than the one you had last year.

Total deaths in three and a half months in the U.S. is 16,548. 7,067 are in New York, 1,700 in New Jersey, 1,076 in Michigan, and 702 in Louisiana for a total of 10,545. That leaves 6,003 for the other 46 states. That is the normal death rate among the old, the sick, the poor, and the homeless for 46 states.

Florida will see a spike soon. Texas, it seems, will no longer be able to lie. And, states like Georgia, PA, Illinois and Indiana are just getting started.

We'll talk in a couple of weeks, and I'll remind you of this.

:lamo — she’s not interested in links — either that, or she read both in four minutes; plenty of proof was given in one of the threads on trump’s insane pressers;

plenty of links have also been given on Republican insider trading that began Jan. 24, which just happens to be the same day these gops were given a secret Intel briefing; and yet they continue to defend this response

Dial up Henry Ford Hospital and give thanks to the dead doctors and nurses who worked overtime to save patients WITHOUT PPEs from trump

Total deaths are in a little over a month. We have about a year to go. Why not check the "score" then instead of very early in the 1st quarter?
