Covid on the Run

noonereal said:
rEALLY?

hOW MANY countries are doing better than us now? Japan is in full lockdown,
Covid is surging in 4 of the 5 most vaccinated countries, not here.

to take issue with this is simply a ridiculous assertion by you.

And they submit bogus numbers that do not reflect our state today or that are truly comparative?

just ridiculous.


Run this on the dopes here, you can't with me.

How many countries are doing better?

That depends on which measure you use.

If you use "Cases per million" then the answer is 207.

21-05-26 F4 - Worldometer TOP TOTAL Cases per Million TABLE.webp
​
If you use "Deaths per Million" the answer is 202.

21-05-26 F3 - Worldometer TOP Deaths per Million TABLE.webp​

If you use "Burden", the answer is 213

21-05-26 I1 - COVID Burden - ACTIVE per MILLION TABLE.webp​

On the other hand, your position that EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS LYING ABOUT COVID-19 probably makes sense to you.

BTW, did you realize that Canada has

36.59% of the "Deaths per Million"

35.19% of the "Cases per Million"

89.30% of the "Mortality Rate (Closed)"

116.11% of the "Closure Rate"

36.60% of the chance that a person selected at random will die from COVID-19​

that the US has?

Lol, I think you’re trying to be humorous mate...masks don’t stop viruses unless they are designed to do so. Most masks that the general public use are not anti virus...please tell me you know that lol.

You might want to notify the medical community, they clearly are misinformed believing masking eliminated colds and flu this past year.

They will want to hear from an expert like you. 🤡

Finally, you qualify what you post!

Also you need to time stamp your assertions.
For example, we had about as bad a Covid response as possible until Good Ole Joe took over and managed the vaccine rollout.

Now, we are among the best as my initial post stated.

I am different than you.

I am Reasoned, calculated, read and aware. Without agenda. (hence I get hit from both the deplorables and the liberal loonies,)

Peace

You should notify the mask makers to remove the sign on the box the masks come in.....you know, the warning sign. Do you know what it is?

Combined with the fact that 60% of the US populace has gotten at least one injection and that easily 10% more have some immunity from havi g had covid the chart below is a stake in the heart of virus.

Certainly many areas - especially population centers - will reach herd immunity if not there already

Today is officially two weeks following my second shot - I am now fully vaxxed and get to go maskless at work and at several other places. I have a picture of my vax card as the lock wallpaper on my phone if anyone asks.

Cool. I’m about 7 weeks since my last Pfizer vaccine and have started gerting together with vaccinated friends unmasked.

NYS has an app where you can store the vaccination record.

Numbers do not lie or misinform...mask mandated areas do no better than similar non-mandated areas, eg Texas vs California. As pointed out, the biggest areas of infection in the U.K. are hospitals and care homes...and probably shopping areas...all mask mandated places.Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.🤡

Well you’re clearly reading the wrong stuff because there is no correlation between mask mandates and lower infection rates in comparable places.

War.

So, did you run out and get Donalds golden vaccine?

I didn't think so....you don't trust him either.

60%?


Try 48.2%.

Cases and deaths?



Yes, the US is STARTING to get a handle on COVID-19 but "on the run" - don't bet your lunch money (now that some state governments are making it illegal to take protective measures against contracting COVID-19).

Yeah, I agree. I think we'll see a rise this winter for sure. Some businesses are even preventing employees from masking now as to add to the fake "it's over" sentiment. It's a big mistake and not hard to see.
Everyday, people in my state are hospitalized and die from Covid. Totally unavoidable now, yet people still die from the ignorance. It's not on the run, it's summer and some people have a vaccine.

I hope people wake up and put that mask back on and get a vaccine so it will really be over some day. The science can't fix stupid.
 
UK is pretty much mask free outside now...Covid virtually gone.

Complete and total house shit. Of course, that is the core of Trumpism, bullshit.

What I wonder is how many of the cult believe their own lies, their alternate reality.

2/3 of republicans still believe Biden was not fairly elected.

Sad yet dangerous cult, no doubt.

Thanks for the comment! 🤡

The actual real world difference is **** all...around 10% lower infection rate with clean, properly worn , good quality masks. As it happens over 40% of U.K. infections were caught in Hospital where staff wore masks... 30% of Covid deaths have also been linked to hospital caught infection...never mind the numbers from care homes.

In other words , many infections were caught in mask mandated areas.

You have the data to support this, or is it one of those 'everyone knows' scenarios?

I didn't take a flu shot in my entire life, so your point escapes me.
