New coronavirus losing potency

You know his advisors most likely told Trump there was nothing he could do once it spread across the world. I bet someone told him it might just go away on its own. He is the kind of person who would take the gamble that it might. Look at JFK and the moon challenge. I am sure the head of NASA was shaking his head and said " Well , here's another nice mess you've gotten me into ".

And why would I know the answers to your other questions? Will you be infected at all? Will you get hit by a bus? :roll:

Perhaps testing, re: how you'd know.

I was describing the behavior of microbes, not predicting the future.

I love it. You're describing the behavior of microbes.
Our greatest medical minds don't know what's going to happen with this virus and you are telling us there is a milder version of the coronavirus.

Well, clearly that image is one of PDS - Pelosi Derangement Syndrome. Anybody could completely bury that image with a dumbstruck full of pictures of Trump with his actual quotes on it!!

People suffer from TDS because he reinfects the world on a daily basis.

I presume you are speaking figuratively, of course. Since your goal is to denigrate Trump whenever you can, it doesn't matter to you if you are writing literally or if you throwing out whatever comment about Trump that comes to your mind.
Either way, you do write like someone who is deranged because Trump is president.

As I explained before TDS is a fantasy: it's an excuse by those who can't handle the fact that Trump is disliked because he makes himself unlikeable. So they blame reasonable people for being truned off by the sort of behavior that would turn any reasonable person off.

And back on topic: he claims credit for everything that goes right, regardless of whether he had any input. We all know it; we've all seen it time and again. It will come as no surprise if he doesn't at the very least say, a hundred thousand deaths later, "See I told you it would disappear on its own". We've been watching him for four years now and his boasts are as predictable as his Twitter tantrums.

up, you are right about one thing - Trump is really disliked.
I attribute it to people not having enough to do in order to better their lives. They are being prevented from doing what they have always liked to do - i.e. go to parties; drink with friends; make money at their jobs (if you have a job to go back to); meet different men/women when the spirit is willing; etc.,etc. There is a lot of resentment in the air - especially if you don't have any respect for the police AND if you believe the country has always been suffering from racial oppression.
Trump is a perfect target. And people who really dislike (not using the word 'hate') do not seem to grasp the concept that he is the duly elected president of this country and it is his job to lead us out of this crisis we are in. If you spend all of your waking time wanting to see him fail at his job, does that mean you want your country to fail? Or are you incapable of understanding that if your president fails, then your country could fail? Do people suffering from TDS really care if the country fails?
And one other reason for anti-Trumpers to feel depressed - Look who they plan to vote for? How's that for a bargain after more that three years of Trump? I would be depressed too.

The Spanish Flu came back a couple of times and killed a lot of people.

"The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States."

I think he's been disliked longer than that. He lost the popular vote by 3 million votes; his approval rating has remained below fifty for most of his presidency. A large part of the Blue Wave in 2018 was because people were voting against the party that nominated Trump. Covid 19 hasn't helped his reputation much but people disliked him before that came along.

As for 'wanting' him to fail it is moot. He is failing, like it or not.

LOL - What on earth makes you believe you're fit to tell me what my goal is, or what matters to me? You're more delusional than Trump is - and that isn't easy.

As for Trump, I don't have to denigrate him - Nobody does. He denigrates himself, day in and day out. But I guess since your goal is to attack anyone opposed to him whenever you can, it doesn't matter to you if he turns this country into a fascist dictatorship.

Either way, you post over-the-top pictures of Pelosi, implying that she's the one in an unstable panic, when in fact it's Herr Drumpf who's losing it more and more every day.
You write like you dropped out of Elementary Psychology 101, and defaulted to using a Ouija board for your diagnoses.
(How'd I do? Is that how it's done? LMAO - I slay me!)

But enough straying so far off topic. How's your infection doing?

I don't know yet that this is a factor. What were processing plants doing, if anything, that could have contributed to the spread of COVID?

1. The stations were over crowded.
2) Their illness policy is 'if you don't show up to work, you don't get paid', leading people on the boarderline of feeling poor to come into work so they get paid.
3) The sanitary conditions are not as good as they should be.
4) The industry practice of having workers crowded in assembly line with sharp knives increase chance of infection (for all diseases, not just covid 19

Wow, you just failed not only understanding the description of how microbes may behave, you even failed basic reading comprehension.

First, you do understand that viruses are microbes? And I was using the broader term because things like Bubonic plague (a bacterium) also use the same strategy.

Second, I did not write that this was a milder version of anything. I described how it can occur in microbes (viruses, since it appears to have to be spelled out for you)

Third, you couldnt read well enough to understand that I was describing an adaptive strategy for a group of organisms and NOT specifically describing CV19.

:doh




This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

It is the less virulent strains of the virus that likely get spread more in the community, after all it is hard to spread the virus if you are laid up in bed, and then herd immunity would be a factor, but only if the governments have been lying about how many people have been infected
 
free press said:
If one is going to troll there has to be some bait put out there. And you like a moron bit allowing me now three x to strengthen the position.

Just 2 (pauses for dramatic affect) just 2, per one hundred thousand deaths have occurred from CV19 since December. A virtual non event on the virological surveillance grid.
Click to expand...

I will agree that, if you divide the total population of the United States of America (330,843,477) by the total number of deaths (111,398) then there have been only 3.3671 (not "2") deaths per 100,000 from COVID-19.

However, I will also agree that any bozo who thinks that that is how mortality rates are calculated in cases of diseases is totally divorced from reality.

Since I do not know that you are totally divorced from reality I am quite willing to concede that your post was in the nature of a joke.

UPDATE TO ABOVE

BTW, did you know that COVID-19 is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States of America? Did you know that, if the current trends continue, COVID-19 will be the sixth leading cause of death in the United States of America someplace around June 11?

PS - I fully expect that that sentence will be "accurately quoted" as

"COVID-19 will be the sixth leading cause of death in the United States of America on June 11." by the disciples of Dr. Mushmouth (and by Dr. Mushmouth himself).

I'm not sure if people's immune systems are adapting yet but according to this, the virus is weakening as a result of interfered replication.

And COVID-19 has a mortality rate of 33.671 per 100,000 (assuming that you know how these things are actually determined [which is, in my opinion, an unsafe assumption to make in your case]).

The governments don't know how many people have been infected. The accuracy of their tests have been suspect since the beginning. Those who get sick and do not seek medical help, do not go to hospital, are not included in the statistics, and there are many. The deaths are exaggerated across the board.

The numbers are garbage, and they haven't a clue as to how many have been infected. Slowly but steadily the herd immunity grows.

The truth stands on its own, whether humans understand the truth or not.

I'm thinking it's a combination of both: the virus is weakening even as the herd immunity is slowly growing.

True.

Since the normal course that any disease that does not completely exterminate the population follows is that the virus slowly weakens (until it strengthens again) and that "herd immunity" slowly grows, I think that your position is rather sound.

2 per 100,000 deaths from CV19 since December. That’s it
 
Covid is over, no need to worry now! Rioting, looting and demonstrations with no social distancing have cured the US of Covid!

Unfortunately you (and Dr Mushmouth) are using the data from this table

(and even then you got it wrong).

PS - It's nice to see you back from your "vacation" (I think).
