Brass Cannon Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 1 hour ago, IUFLA said: That must be a regional thing because when I tested (negative), it was same day and I had the results in 48 hours. My wife went to the Dr yesterday (I took her) and there was a line under the drop off overhang where they were conducting drive through tests with a 24 hour result... Certainly a factor I would say. Told my wife I should have driven to Illinois to get tested. My father in law got tested since I did and already has his results back. Came back negative which I am relieved about. We had to visit a few weeks ago. If I have it my guess would be from one of the two dozen contractors I have had to argue with wearing a mask at work.

Leathernecks Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The town just north of me (the town I teach in) has about 1900 people and has 54 confirmed cases. I heard it is going through the nursing home right now. My county of around 30,000 people has 240 confirmed cases and 7 deaths. We've had 41 new cases in the last week.

Wow that’s like terrible data analysis and without even an in depth fact check you know that it’s not being honest because it has France in the no HCQ category. That it’s reliant on the case count by confirmed test which several countries have admitted they couldn’t get testing capacity up and running.

Confirmed cases is a meaningless metric. We are 7+ months into this thing and have been told how so contagious it is. The actual number of cases is likely 10 times higher or more. IFR study.

If the confirmed cases Bangladesh has about a 2.5% mortality in resolved cases. I don't make shit up. Bangladesh has a population of over 164 million, which is roughly 50% that of the U.S. As of today, Bangladesh has approximately 235,000 cases, which is SIGNIFICANTLY less than 50% of the U.S. 4.6 million As of today, Bangladesh has reported 3,083 total deaths, which is SIGNIFICANTLY less than the U.S. 155,285 Mortality rate is a terrible metrics when the discrepancy in cases is so large. That's like sating 1 out of 2 people dying is worse than 49,999 out of 100,000. Dr. Fauci needs to explain to the U.S. population why a country like Bangladesh, with not nearly the resources of the U.S., and on teh surface, a society that would be harder to social distance, has so fewer cases than us. That is information we need to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Staying on the Bangladesh theme. If the rest of the world was impacted by the virus to the degree the U.S. has been, we would have a humanitarian crisis of biblical proportions in countries like Bangladesh. And, so far, that has not happened. Why? For all we know, maybe 90% of people in Bangladesh have the virus, and we just don't know due to lack of testing. If that's the case, then why aren't they dying at a catastrophic level. Or, maybe the 235,000 cases reported in Bangladesh is fairly accurate. Then, in that case, why is their infection rate so much lower than ours? Sheer number of people per square mile would indicate that people in Bangladesh have built-in challenges for social distancing, which is supposed to be one of the major options to fight the virus. It's certainly worth the time investigating what could be the cause. Could it be genetics, environmental, or dietary? Maybe they planted their mystery seeds China sent them, Whatever the reason, someone needs to look into it. We need to stop the finger pointing, continue striving towards a vaccine, but also take a common sense approach to this. Common sense says that Bangladesh has something we don't. Figure out what that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys are feeling like a trip to NYC, it's apparently a thing now for food tourists. I have to admit, the city is amazing without all of the people. And the group from MI seems like they had a good time. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/nyregion/coronavirus-nyc-tourism-restaurants.html?action=click&module=Editors Picks&pgtype=Homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
