Cookouts and parties taking place. We’re never going to get over this. I’ve been tempted to say f*** it and go out since I honestly see this lock down stuff lasting longer than it should.

The Truth is that this is the norm until a vaccine or cure is found.

your posts been fire for a min

Kern County, CA dropped its shelter in place today. This doesn't mean that people can go out and do whatever. What it means is that local leaders might know something we don't about the state order and want to be prepared when it's lifted.

Newsom said we're a matter of days, not weeks from seeing changes and these local modifications are early signs of that.

This is kinda weird tho. Riverside county is having a meeting about ending the order to wear masks and socially distance; but all the supervisors are required to wear masks to the meeting : these f***ing c***s. This is a red county tho so doesn’t surprise me

I'm going to keep wearing masks until there's no reason to keep doing so.

A little insider info tho: family friend of mine works for a company that does the class you need to take to get your motorcycle license (contractor with the DMV). He told me they’re starting up again this week

Good hope this virus is cooking these dumb niggas.

Ngl i might just keep wearing mine even after 🤷‍♀️ Doubt it will happen in all of America but I could see some places where mask wearing becomes more normalized like in asian countries. S*** actually cuts down on all kinds of illnesses

i feel that one. They don’t even realize all they have to do is stay in the house and we can start going back out there soon. There’s going to be plenty of nice days moving forward. Don’t let one or two nice days early on mess up the progress we’ve made

Cant wait till the year 4500 when white people are the minority because the whole world turned into caramel people

I’m saying 🤦🏾‍♂️ The ignorance is getting me heated. This could all be over very fast if everyone just does what they have to do. but nope. Lets make innocent people catch stray deaths or lifelong after effects bc we gotta go smoke up and have a barbecue.

The mortality rate is turning out to be around 0.3% instead of 3-4%

Many new tests are showing the mortality rate to be much lower than everyone has thought.

Here is some evidence for this: nationalreview.com/2020/04/coronavirus-testing-undercounting-covid-19-cases-likely

The problems that caused this are three-fold:

1. The tests themselves gave a lot of false positives and false negatives. The PCR testing technology is known to be unreliable, yet is treated by media and some hospitals as if it is highly reliable. Now the antibody test is available, which shows if someone has ever been exposed to the virus, instead of only testing if it's actively in your body like the PCR test does (because it's an RNA-matching test).

2. Because of the limited number of tests available, only people who had died or near-death were tested. This caused hugely inflated mortality rates, because the samples were not random. Random samples were done on homeless populations, where 36% tested positive yet zero showed symptoms (hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2020/04/15/hmmm-36-boston-homeless-shelter-tested-positive-covid-19-vast-majority-without-symptoms), and on maternity wards which also showed a large number of asymptomatic carriers. Once these results started coming out, it was clear that almost everyone has already had it.

Which means that the mortality rate is far far lower than we've been hearing. Old calculations put it at 3-4%, but the newer and more comprehensive test studies show that it's more like 0.3% because so many have already had it but weren't counted as corona survivors because they were asymptomatic or had few symptoms, so they never got diagnosed in the first place.

3. The media and governmental reaction was another cause of the over-reaction. The fact the virus was apparently slow-spreading gave companies and governments time to react, and created this first worldwide quarantine situation. This amplified fears, and also created an atmosphere where the mortality rate had to be 3-4% to justify all the lockdowns. So for a long time the media and even medical establishments were trying to justify this very high number, when in reality after true random sampling it has proven to be much lower. Which means the lockdowns were not necessary.

The idea was to "flatten the curve" so hospitals would not get overwhelmed. However the curve has been flat for weeks now, and the hospitals are half-empty. They're permanently laying off staff at many hospitals because of how slow business has been. I have confirmed this with a friend I have who works an a front-line ER doctor with covid cases.

Finally it seems even some hospitals are attributing deaths to covid that may otherwise have been classified as pneumonia. Look at the huge lack of pneumonia deaths this year so far: i.stack.imgur.com/3ehhg.png

The virus is still deadly, and definitely is causing problems (14,000 deaths a week in the US), but the intensity of the virus was vastly over-stated due to a combination of factors as described above.

0.3% is way too low tbh don't really trust this source

We are definitely undercounting but this reads like loose reasoning to OPEN ‘ER UP

Especially from a conservative source

yo, are you australiathegawd from ktt1?

These people are a danger to society and at some point someone needs to do something to keep these fascists inside and stop protesting

Did you not see the “protests” in Texas literally assaulting police officers yet they did nothing lol

This s*** will just keep happening until someone wakes up and acts. White people can do whatever they please in this country

No, I've had the same name across both sites since 2015.

I guess we have to keep pushing for equality. No matter what it is white ppl will do whatever they can to get us out the paint. Look how they reacted when we said that our lives matter and it’d be nice if we weren’t routinely killed by police. They went f***ing crazy.

Usa really a trash country bro sorry to say it

The USA really the Michael Jordan of racism. America been putting up record breaking racism numbers since it came into the game. Legendary racism career. This our Last Dance vro.

Damn, many states underreporting their deaths today as hell. Some of them arent even reporting them but we have more new cases this Sunday than last Sunday, which is pretty alarming if you know how big the numbers are always been on the weekdays.

Quick comparison:

Apr 26:
New cases: 26,509
New deaths: 1,156

May 03:
New cases: 27,348
New deaths: 1,154

I guess we will have a huge death spike on Tuesday.
