Bump.
I'm sure Tiny will bump this a few more times.
Shocking to think that almost a third of a million would die in the U.S. alone. Second and third waves of infections and deaths will happen when governors ease restrictions. By New Year's Eve 2021, testing and treatment should finally be routine.
Listening to NPR or something on C-SPAN, I heard a Russian journalist explain the medical practices of physicians diagnosing cause of death. Generally, doctors claim a failure of a major organ or system as cause. Leaving lots of questions about statistics in their country. Maybe also in former Soviet strongholds. Thought it was interesting. Originally Posted by eccieuser9500
Yeah, there's some conspiracy theory going around that coronavirus deaths are wildly overstated. It's the other way around, and not just in Russia:

i say true cases in the US will be less than 100,000 and given a bad flu season can go as high as 60-80 thousand this shutdown was not needed. and in many cases made it worse. of course the leftanistas will blame Trump over any of this. then blame Andy Cuomo too. and Whitman.
just start blaming everyone

How To Make Sense of All The COVID-19 Projections? A New Model Combines Them
Quote:
The projections vary substantially — with the most pessimistic forecasting a total death toll of 120,000 by June 6 and the most optimistic forecasting 103,000 deaths by that date. But the models have been inching closer to each other. Over the past several weeks, the distance between the highest and lowest estimates has halved from a gap of 36,000 deaths two weeks ago to a gap of 17,000 deaths in the most recent update released Tuesday.

so how will China be punished for this fuckup? certainly they should be ostracized from the global economy and resulting in a complete financial collapse and the end of the CCP. should we also nuke something too? a small one just to show these miscreant Chinese we still have the balls to use 'em?
