Just checking if you realize we had 2400 Americans die yesterday after social distancing for weeks. If we are taking extreme measures and still adding 30k cases each day, how do you think this looks if we stop trying to contain it. We're barely keeping it fought back as it is now.
It reflects the number of people who have died. It's the most accurate representation of the crisis since they won't test people and the daily testing hasn't increased in weeks.
The people who have died is just that. People are still dying that have had it in addition to the peak in new cases
The press briefing was on opening the economy before it's ready. I'll continue to bring attention to our death toll until people start to realize that Trump is going to cost 10s of thousands of lives with his antics.
Testing was down over 30% in the last week. Of course you'll see new confirmed cases drop but you can't rely on those numbers because we aren't testing as many people. We have many "presumed positive" cases diagnosed but unconfirmed. You guys probably already know presumed positive cases. For me it's my aunt and a good friend.
It’s the other way around. NYC saw a 13k increase in deaths in the last month and attributed 10k and change to CV. It’s underreported due to those dying in their home not being counted.
Who knew Best Buy was still around. I remember shopping there a decade ago for blu rays.
You were posting in a thread started by a dude with no knowledge other than wildly available reporting. If you were choosing to believe the WHO (Given your track record it was almost assuredly Trump that was misleading you. You cant expect us to believe that you actually follow the WHO.) then it was your dumb mistake and the millions out there who are as dumb as you made the spread worse. Those same dumb idiots are parroting Trump again that we must open the economy on May 1st. Guess who's right there with them being wrong again? Your dumb ass.
Yes, only scared betas are afraid of a highly contagious disease that even when reasonably contained as it is now is killing more than 1.5× as many people as die every day from cancer. Not just one type of cancer, but every cancer combined.
I’m honestly just surprised Best Buy still exists given Amazon now does same day delivery and has reviews of all products. The only purpose Best Buy served was to have in person sales associates to assist elderly who don’t use computers with telling the difference between 1080p and 4K. I’m pretty sure with or without forced closures, 90% of their market has dried up. I used to frequent Best Buy for CDs and DVDs. Now all that shit is in the cloud. I honestly couldn’t even tell you what they sell at this point.
Normally ~5k people die in a month in NYC. Last month was ~18k and they claimed ~11k were Covid19. Should give you a bit of an idea.
Its just ridiculous. That suggests that covid-19 is 2 and a half times more deadly than EVERY OTHER CAUSE OF DEATH COMBINED.
What makes you doubt that? It's already the biggest cause of death nation wide by a significant margin and as a nation we aren't anywhere near NYCs numbers.
I’m not here to tell you what’s true or not. Just giving you the information NYC put out there.
I just did the math
I just posted The NY Times article with the CDC chart of deaths over time in NYC by month. It rarely ever goes above 5k. For the 33 day period March 11-April 13 the city reported 18k total deaths. You can see in the previous link I provided. Now either you think the people didn’t really die or actually they are undercounting a bit.
And @Crazyhole went into a mini rant about how those numbers were too awful to be real, when he was presented with the stats...
You're imagining my tone. I'm being factual. No one is stepping foot in a best buy with an active virus and Amazon as an option.
Consumers control the reopen. People aren't going to put their lives at risk for a hamburger so even if you assume 100% of people under 40 will go back to life as normal, old people will not. That reduced demand is enough to crater weak businesses. The consumers reopen the economy, not the president or governors.
