Coronavirus

Bob2C · April 7, 2020

It's because things have started to flatten out in NY other parts of the world and activity is anticipated to resume again. I also believe that the inflated models that have been corrected everyday are much less frightening than originally thought.

Yes but here Cuomo has been saying the last 2 days it’s leveling off. Today there was a spike in deaths. This is with everyone staying home and no economic activity. Just can’t see how when everyone gets out again this virus won’t just start spreading again. I don’t think our leaders have an endgame yet.

CNN, in a hurry to downplay and twist all things related to Trump. They have no real credibility and haven't for years. Whenever their is positivity CNN posts this type of story to crush any hope....so shameful. Just like them posting stories about people dying from fish tank cleaner.

We already knew that the death toll would lag....nothing new there.

Everyone has their own beliefs and being on social media is not going to change that. A lot of times threads spin out of control, especially when it impacts your bottom line. All of these comments are opinions, when you can't take it anymore move on or the Mod can just shut it down. One stat in the US shows folks with underlying conditions, death rate is higher from this particular virus. It's probably the same worldwide, this virus seems to really be hitting the lungs.

This thread isn’t any different than most. It’s holding together pretty good considering what’s at stake.

I agree, for example if you have been a life long smoker you should be extra careful. Or anyone with COPD, Or any other raspatory issue.

A leveling off of new cases is good, but deaths will go up for about 2-4 weeks after a leveling of new cases. Its to be expected as those that were diagnosed this week might make it or not within the week or two afterwards. The death spike more than likely is from those that were tested positive and in hopsital/ICU from the past week-two weeks.

Yeah you could probably add bronchitis and asthma into that mix. Don't know the diabetes or high blood pressure spin yet.

Personally, I think the spread is happening with "essential employees" like myself.

The state of Washington had 14 pages of essential jobs, I do not think mine is at all, but I am at work receiving a paycheck.

Just heard there are 1500 infected health care workers in Michigan alone, over the road (long haul) truck drivers are still traveling from state to state, outside activity has slowed down, but nowhere near what it should have been.

As soon as we let the sheltered people out, what will stop them from being affected and it all starting again, that is a great question, hope someone in charge is looking that far ahead.

Excerpt from the article below. Sounds to me like Trump and CNN have similar messages. So where is the twisting and downplaying? Or did you just reject the article without reading it?

In the US, President Donald Trump warned over the weekend that "there will be a lot of deaths" in the coming weeks.

"This will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week," the President said at a White House briefing Saturday. "And there will be a lot of death, unfortunately. But a lot less death than if this wasn't done," he said, referring to certain mitigation tactics, such as social distancing and stay-at-home orders.

Yeah. I am essential as well. Luckily my shift is overnight which limits my risk and the risk to others in the event that I may have it and not know it. Thinking back I was horribly ill over thanksgiving and my cough lingered through Christmas. I can only wonder if I had it. No one else in my house got sick. But it was a dry cough as well. I got tested for flu which was negative so my doctors response was it’s a virus. I would love to take a blood test to see if they can determine if I was previously infected.

Each state will decide what the new norm in America will be, but it won't be this current social distancing or even some variation, or else mass events or gatherings will have to cease. The end game will have to be use common sense and attend at your own risk.

I agree, they are the only ones allowed to travel freely. My son is in to delivery, when we talk today he had the symptoms in mid Jan, no tests available then.

It's the way the article is presented. There are many ways to get the same point across. Cnn articles all have a terrible undertone to them, just like all of their questions asked at the briefings. All they want is for the country to fail because they think that is the best way to get rid of Trump. Trump has put politics aside, but the media and Democrats will not stop what they have been doing for the last 3.5 years. It's completely un-american. Trump has complimented many democratic leaders and there has yet to be much reciprocity. Gavin Newsome and a few others have actually been honest to their credit.
