Truth lies is facts and numbers. Following the weekly total deaths is a better way of telling the true story. Weekly total deaths (from all causes) in the USA are up anywhere from 4% to 41% per week from March 28 to July 11. According to CDC and Tableau, excess death in the USA is over 139,000 so far this year. For 15 straight weeks the USA has exceeded the normal weekly number of total deaths. 12,000 to 20,000 more deaths per week were reported for April and May weeks. Late June and early July the USA was averaging 2,000 to 3,000 more weekly deaths. Now with the recent rises in coronavirus deaths, its expected the weekly total deaths (from all causes) will start to increase again.

Forever? People need to work and feed their families. Even if a vaccine is tested by end of this year, it will be end of next summer until people get all receive it.Comment -
That's if it actually works.
They're fast tracking it without even knowing the fallout of it . Does it destroy organs, cause cancer , etc. ? You know like the ones that went through testing and years of it , to only be FDA fukk ups that does cause cancer , destroy your liver , kidneys , heart .
Guess some will find out after taking it , if it becomes available.
I have my doubts since we can't cure the common flu . I had the shot twice in 10 years to only get the flu both years .
I know, just a coincidence, but seriously doubt this vaccine is the End All everyone is waiting on .Comment -

You mentioned that eventually everyone will get the coronavirus and it doesn't kill that many people. So, if 330 million people get the coronavirus at an infection fatality rate of only 0.65% to 0.9% (flu is 0.1%) then 2.1 million to 3 million people would have to die in the USA. You forgot to mention the heavy burden on our health care system from all the increased hospitalizations, it would be devastating if we opened everything up without reasonable safety measures.Comment -
Most hospitals are extremely busy. Lots of people are still laid off or being laid off, including doctors and other health care professionals. Still doesn't change the facts and numbers of the coronavirus (IFR), coronavirus deaths and hospitalizations. Weekly total deaths from all causes have been above normal for over 15 consecutive weeks in the USA. If people would be less political and use more common sense, we could open things up with less burden on all of us.Comment -

Thanks for pointing out that I din't mention the health care system in my earlier post. I shall do so in this post.
The heavy burden on the health care system due to the "Left it Fly" strategy coined by the Dr. Faucci, is the correct decision even though he himself doesn't tout it. The burden on the healthcare system is an issue that will be taken care of by the private capitalist system. Hey I get it, my life sucks too, but to say we placed a heavy burden on the people who willingly choose to take care of the sick is just an excuse. I'm a slurry pumping engineer, and if a disaster in the world occurred which required me to step up and perform in my chosen occupation, I would like to have the chance to be the hero. Actually there are 2 instances in history that I believe I could have been of great help in the slurry pumping field of life that would have aided in the ease of suffering to our fellow man. It pains me to say that the idea of having an entire metro packed city named New Orleans protected with large pumps located in low lying areas is probably not a good idea. The placement of said pumps below the level of the sea was obviously a decision not made by me. It is the best place to place a non essential life saving device because of pump priming concerns and cost. As someone who has engineered several de-watering pumps for mines knows, if you let the water come in to the mine at such a rate as to overwhelm your capabilities to pump out the water, you're fukked. Same thing happened in Japan with the nuclear plant. They went cheap on the safety device knowing the tidal wave and earth quake proclivity in an arrogant decision to save a couple of bucks. I could have fixed both disasters before the event ever occurred, and could have had a contingency plan for the event even afterwards but was never given the chance.
Medical professionals now have the chance to step up in life and be a hero. Complaining about how overwhelmed they are just doesn't cut it. The entire system can expand to accommodate the needs of the people. That's how the capitalist system works. The healthcare system has had several months at this point to get their shyt together. People just can't sit by and wait anymore we need to continue with our lives. If other lives can't overcome the virus, that is the way nature is, it is called evolution, or some would say science. Unless we all just drop dead after breathing in this thing for a couple of seconds, we will have to get on with life and deal with it and many other dangerous things as an everyday fact of life.Comment
