That’s a stat I’d actually love to see with all of these athletes, college and pro they’re reporting about. How many have become very ill, and how many have required hospitalization? I’d love those numbers.
And I know, I know! It’s not about these guys. It’s about the older and more vulnerable people. It’s about not overwhelming hospitals. I’d still be curious of the numbers.

Where did you get the 150,000 number?

Yes, the deaths are going down. For some reason they're much lower on the weekends, but if you compare weekends to weekends they've gone down a lot. I actually find the increased number of cases to be good news oddly enough as I'd rather know about as many cases as possible. As long as the at-risk people are protected, I think deaths will continue to drop. I like to see all the weekday death counts get below 250 and the weekends below 100 before football practice starts.

Re: MSU: Stadium plans for games
I can't speak to the rest of your post, but I've found the "spikes" related to this virus to be pretty funny actually.
From January 22nd to March 22nd we tested just under 255,000 people TOTAL! And even that doesn't tell the whole story because from January 22nd to February 22nd we tested barely over a 100 people. So we obviously ramped it up.
As of yesterday, we have tested over 27,084,000 Americans. To me this is great news. I wish everyone could get tested. Obviously the more tests given, the more positive cases we'll see. Can anyone even dispute that?
So you'll have to forgive me that I don't shake in my boots every time I turn on the tv and they're talking about "huge spikes", "2nd waves", and possibly another shutdown. It's honestly disingenuous and all it does is cause fear.
Do people honestly feel less safe now than they did a few months ago because we have so many more cases? I can't wrap my head around that.

Re: MSU: Stadium plans for games
I see articles like this and I think it is super misleading. There are clearly more younger people testing positive for Covid. However, just a couple of weeks ago, a younger person couldn’t get a test even if they requested one. Of course there will be more young people with positive tests since they weren’t being tested before.

Yep. This is the kind of thing I have been talking about. It’s honestly hardly newsworthy. Of COURSE more young people are going to be positive than a few months ago. Now young people get tested like old people. People with few symptoms can get tested, and not just those displaying every symptom on their checklists.Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 6:48 pmI see articles like this and I think it is super misleading.

Young people are still working, going out, eating at restaurants, etc. They’re less at risk so going about their lives. But most obvious thing though, is that they’re getting tested.

The CDC is also slightly misleading because they say "deaths with and without COVID". It appears they include the deaths they just assumed were due to COVID since they are just going off the death certificate(which might be upwards of 25%). I don't think anyone besides maybe Colorado has done an exhaustive audit to determine if some died from COVID or just with COVID. We will probably never know for sure.

I have to wonder why they spent twice as much on both Planned ParentHood Abortion services and Gun Control studies, than on Communicable Diseases which is what the agency is supposed to be about!
Excess deaths are typically defined as the difference between the observed numbers of deaths in specific time periods and expected numbers of deaths in the same time periods.

Yep, several doctors have been saying this, but that’s not very scary so it’s been determined to be hogwash. Bad sources.
Then there are these doctors and epidemiologists that have said what some of us have been saying for months. They believe FAR more people have been infected and the virus has been amongst us FAR longer than first thought. Of course if this were to be true, it’d make the entire thing even less scary and the death and hospitalization rate almost non-existent. And that’s not very scary and really makes light of things so they’re likely fake epidemiologists and thus more bad sources....

I'm obviously not speaking in certain terms here. The data changes daily. But there has long been speculation that this thing may have been around far longer than we currently know. Now we have actual epidemiologists that are saying the same thing. And that millions more have been infected than we thought. They most certainly can be wrong. But it proves my point from months ago that it's not like all scientists and doctors and experts and all in 100% agreement and then you just have nut jobs like me asking questions.
There's a ton of factors in play. I maintain this thing could be WAY worse than I am currently giving it credit for. It might harm or even kill way more than I think. I just wish more people on the other side of the fence would at least acknowledge the mere idea that it just might not be as terrible and deadly as you might believe watching tv every night.

I'm obviously not speaking in certain terms here. The data changes daily. But there has long been speculation that this thing may have been around far longer than we currently know. Now we have actual epidemiologists that are saying the same thing. And that millions more have been infected than we thought. They most certainly can be wrong. But it proves my point from months ago that it's not like all scientists and doctors and experts and all in 100% agreement and then you just have nut jobs like me asking questions.
There's a ton of factors in play. I maintain this thing could be WAY worse than I am currently giving it credit for. It might harm or even kill way more than I think. I just wish more people on the other side of the fence would at least acknowledge the mere idea that it just might not be as terrible and deadly as you might believe watching tv every night.
Yes, neither Jess or Payton were sick (dad or daughter) and also neither Patti nor myself, or a couple other family members ever had a problem. So who knows???

Re: MSU: Stadium plans for games
Pay your money and roll the dice according to your beliefs.....in my case I'd rather be wrong than dead...of course I'm in the danger zone age wise.

Bad sources.
Then there are these doctors and epidemiologists that have said what some of us have been saying for months. They believe FAR more people have been infected and the virus has been amongst us FAR longer than first thought. Of course if this were to be true, it’d make the entire thing even less scary and the death and hospitalization rate almost non-existent. And that’s not very scary and really makes light of things so they’re likely fake epidemiologists and thus more bad sources....

Re: MSU: Stadium plans for games
That's only relevant if your percentage of positive tests is declining. Which makes sense...if you have enough tests to check asymptomatic people, like football players returning to campus, then your positive percentage of tests will decline. Which means that life can return to normal, and we can do things like have football with full stadiums again.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 2:55 pmI can't speak to the rest of your post, but I've found the "spikes" related to this virus to be pretty funny actually.
From January 22nd to March 22nd we tested just under 255,000 people TOTAL! And even that doesn't tell the whole story because from January 22nd to February 22nd we tested barely over a 100 people. So we obviously ramped it up.
As of yesterday, we have tested over 27,084,000 Americans. To me this is great news. I wish everyone could get tested. Obviously the more tests given, the more positive cases we'll see. Can anyone even dispute that?
So you'll have to forgive me that I don't shake in my boots every time I turn on the tv and they're talking about "huge spikes", "2nd waves", and possibly another shutdown. It's honestly disingenuous and all it does is cause fear.
Do people honestly feel less safe now than they did a few months ago because we have so many more cases? I can't wrap my head around that.

Unfortunately, the percentage of positive tests is INCREASING...Which means that our increase in testing is only keeping up with the spread of the disease. Which of course, is going to cause large parts of the country to not have football, basketball, concerts, or anything else fun until people get their s*** together and just follow basic common sense.
If people use common sense & listen to their doctors, there's a chance to save football this year.
If people turn this into a political issue and refuse, then we won't. Its pretty elementary stuff.
