What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

[MuleyFever]

Bar graph of new cases. Fairly steady since April 4. On May 7 new daily cases more than doubled. That's the spiked bar @ end of graph.

Locally the last week has seen a spike in cases.

 

[slick]

Does the same bar graph also show the number of tests conducted?

Not facetious, genuinely curious.

You guys realize the tests are faulty and the common cold contains coronaviruses right?

Which means ? about the numbers?

The numbers will mean about as much as toilet paper if we get put on food rations and the contact tracers are at your doorstep.

For those not wishing to take Vitamin D3 supplements, just as has been noted with some other viruses, it looks like the best thing to do is go outside and get naked...well all except for wearing your mask... you wouldn't want to get fined for not wearing a mask.

Vitamin D appears to play role in COVID-19 mortality rates

After studying global data from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, researchers have discovered a strong correlation between severe vitamin D deficiency and mortality rates.

Research into it. Even the covid crew in DC admit they arent "perfect"

I read an article about I think Ecuador maybe, their president was starting an investigation into the covid tests because a goat and a piece of fruit tested positive....go figure

Common colds can be caused by corona or rhinoviruses. I am not sure what you posted even means.

It means the two tests that are available which are faulty as the test is in itself, test for things that people already have and are being labeled as covid 19.

Now I'm not saying people arent getting sick or sicker than the flu. I'm simply saying the tests arent as accurate as good data may suggest.

In my opinion, if I take a written test and cheat on it to get 100% , I havent learned anything. If an entire class did so and that "data" is used to determine a teaching point for the next topic, the next topic wouldnt be accurately determined due to poor data.

That's a pretty bad example but I hope you get the idea.

I had a friend in health care express frustration over accuracy of early tests. She said what they are using now seems to be a lot more accurate.

I am currently quarantined with symptoms and waiting to be tested. I have fairly mild symptoms so far. I'll give a play by play for anyone interested. Right now, sore throat, mild cough, and low fever with fatigue. Feel like I could still work right now but I'm following doctor advice.

It is not exhibiting characteristics of the “big one”
It was not going away in two weeks, two months, etc.
We were going to have to accept a few hundred thousand deaths, heavily focused on those with very advanced age, multiple severe medical problems, etc. and focus on the outliers - or literally spend $10,000,000 per life “saved” (frankly, slightly delayed in virtually all cases) with even more severe long term economic and social consequences.

That sums it up. I agree with you. Add to that, within several months it will become obvious that the promoters were trying to utilize the disease to influence elections. Actually, it will maybe become public knowledge. It already IS obvious to me!

I make a prediction that there will be substantial election fraud this November. If Trump gets elected, there will be major protests by sore losers and he will be blamed for somehow cheating the elections and CNN (and others) will blast fake numbers to "prove" that Trump cheated.
Some conservative news sites WILL report Democratic election fraud that WILL happen. Mainstream news will try to cover it up. If Trump gets elected anyhow, he will roast them. If Biden gets elected, coronavirus will suddenly be over.

Bring this post up in January 2021 and see what all happened!

Man, we need a political forum where crazies from both sides can hang out. I suspect you could be a top poster! This post has zero to do with covid-19.

I been working in Logan, Utah a couple days a week. Last week the traffic on 91 (main street) was around 1/2 normal. Even at lunch, rush hour, a normally full undivided 4 lane + right, left, and center turn lanes road had plenty of room to pass, pull out, etc. This week (a lot of stuff opened Monday) it was back to being bumper to bumper in the middle of town.

It’s been like that here in Clearfield near Hill AFB for a while now.

Actually it has much more to do with COVID-19 than your post. The predictions of electoral fraud are based of the California town that opened up a voting booth at the last minute in a Democratic majority area despite the mail in voting in place because of the Wung Flu. I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats pulled of something similar in November.
Also my final prediction was that if Biden gets elected, Coronavirus will suddenly be over, "it will just magically go away ".

One thing for sure is that China does not want Trump to win again.....they want the dems to be in power so they can walk all over the USA.
