Sent this to my mother-in-law, from SD. Her family is still there and some of them post on FB how masks are an infringement on their freedom.

Looking at Covid stats on John Hopkins' website. Specifically, positivity rate. 5% is the threshold that has long been referenced - anything greater than that tells researchers that the virus is spreading rapidly.

As you may have heard, the national average just crossed 10%. California is at 5%.

I looked at which states had the highest % of tests coming back as positive:

Wyoming is 62.9%
S. Dakota is 57.5%
Iowa is 51.7%
Kansas is 43.8%

Those are simply astounding figures.

Could it be because the only people getting tested are people with symptoms?

In places like CA where we take it seriously lots of people are getting tested regularly regardless of how they feel because their job requires it or because they want to protect their loved ones.

In places that see COVID-19 as a hoax maybe people only get tested once they show up at a doctor.

exactly! And that's really butt stupid!! Nobody is testing, wearing masks, distancing, or contact tracing.

Do they have a stat on Young Republican suicides? It seems to be their primary obsession, as opposed to wearing masks and social distancing.
In Sturgis it appeared to be suicide by motorcycle rally. How is that blended into the stats?

---

339 deaths for those under 60 w/o pre-existing conditions.

You know what you call COVID for that demographic?
The common cold.

Well, I know why Sweden is doing what it's doing: The government is on the hook for footing the care bill for the elderly, so why not do some trimming. Now the optics are so bad they are backing off.

Bearister kills 'em on BI every day!
He'll be back again tomorrow, folks!

The problem is not that young people will die. The problem is that young, healthy people pass it on to older or sicker people and create a bigger public health crisis.

This is not about caring for yourself, it's about having consideration for your fellow man.

Yeah! What he said!

Also, in some cases (including young, healthy people with the illness), COVID-19 leaves lingering problems that we do not fully understand at this point.

---

Or as reminded in these pages recently, a poster wrote that a 40 year old woman they knew died. So, yeah, occasionally.

If being a moron is a comorbidity, Don, Jr. is a Dead Man Walking.

He's genuinely happy to have received the gift of Covid. One step closer to herd mentality.

I underestimated you, hanky1. Your posts are, in fact, every bit as insightful as those of BearForce2.

You have to be more explicit. Not sure janky is smart enough to pick out the sarcasm.

Millions will still travel on Thanksgiving despite CDC warnings



https://mol.im/a/8972785

"The U.S. passed 250,000 confirmed COVID deaths this week, a figure that is truly vast too vast for us to comprehend, Bryan Walsh writes Axios Future.

Why it matters: The psychic numbing that sets in around mass death saps us of our empathy for victims, and discourages us from making the sacrifices needed to control the pandemic.
And it hampers our ability to prepare for other rare but potentially catastrophic risks down the road.
By the numbers: The sheer scale of the U.S. death toll from COVID can be felt in the lengths media organizations have gone to try to put the numbers in perspective. 250,000 deaths is:

Ten times the number of American drivers and passengers who die in car crashes each year, according to CNN.
More than twice the number of American soldiers who died in World War I, according to NPR.
Paul Slovic, a University of Oregon psychology professor who studies human judgment and decision-making, says we have a cognitive bias called "scope neglect":

As the scale of deaths and tragedy grows, our own compassion and concern fail to keep pace. As the title of one of Slovic's papers says: "The more who die, the less we care." Axios

American Exceptionalism.

It sure is nice to have access to those drugs reserved for the Illuminati when you contract Covid. For the rest of you chumps that get 'rona, well, a few hundred thousand of you are going to die.
