She inserts the laryngoscope, vomits, and leaves. The patient was pronounced dead. (Wayne County General Hospital (MI), 1975)

    Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

    Interesting:

    https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....27.20081893v1

    “As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spreads, the susceptible subpopulation is depleted causing the rate at which new cases occur to decline. Variation in individual susceptibility or exposure to infection exacerbates this effect. Individuals that are frailer, and therefore more susceptible or more exposed, have higher probabilities of being infected, depleting the susceptible subpopulation of those who are at higher risk of infection, and thus intensifying the deceleration in occurrence of new cases. Eventually, susceptible numbers become low enough to prevent epidemic growth or, in other words, herd immunity is attained. Although estimates vary, it is currently believed that herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 requires 60-70% of the population to be immune. Here we show that variation in susceptibility or exposure to infection can reduce these estimates. Achieving accurate estimates of heterogeneity for SARS-CoV-2 is therefore of paramount importance in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.”

    Do the assholes saying "kill the olds and the sicks" not have parents or grandparents? Or do they not realize they are old? Or that their parents have things like hypertension or diabetes? Or do they hate their parents? Hard to understand...

If we send the young back to work, restaurants, parties, sports the 60% that gets the virus is mostly those people with a low mortality rate and a relatively low risk of long term health problems. Meanwhile the old and vulnerable stay home and stay uninfected until enough of the young have had the virus. So hit those beaches guys--the sooner you get sick the sooner I can come out of hiding.
    I see your logic but the Swedes thought that they could protect the vulnerable and were not that successful. It could be that in part that they did not communicate with their immigrant population very well, so had higher infection rates in that pop which in turn caused higher rates of infection in long term care as the immigrant pop was a high % of the work force in those places?? Of course your ability to hide would be much better assuming you don't need help to take a poop.

    Those pictures of dead bodies in the street for days in Ecuador made one appreciate living precariously in the first world.

    haha plz we r ruing the economy and young people futures to save old people who maybe have 10 years left any way it’s maybe a harsh truth buts it’s the truth the overall well being of the country doesn’t depend on old sick people they are not essential to the country
    Sorry if that hurts ur feelings
    Where are the Christians? And what would Jesus do?

    Really sad. I thought we are better than that as a country and as people.

    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    Comparing America to third world countries and states run by lunatics kinda takes the starch out the argument, doesn't it?

    what argument? I'm just saying that charts based on information that nobody knows aren't exactly useful. How do you graphically represent an unknown quantity? get back to me on that.

    Anyway, watching CNN and Gupta and Cooper hang on Bill Gates every word is perplexing.

    Yeah, there's an awful lot of unknown knowns going around. Including our numbers.
