As we start to "re-open"

I'm sure it's an honest mistake. (Insert abbot smug face here)

 

On TX, the 1500 excess deaths could in part be people not seeking medical attention for other things like heart attacks or emphysema. Hard to know.

 

I am part of a church group that does construction and home repair working with Habitat for Humanity. Its largely a group of older guys... and after doing one project this past week (outside, a wheelchair ramp construction project) our director sent out this email:

 

At least the leaders at West Point have the common sense to use social distancing and masks to protect graduating cadets that trump forced to come back onto campus so he could have a campaign opportunity...

 

IF there are Yacht stories it was well worth it!

 

I see the fear mongers continue to ignore the hard data on the daily deaths. Telling.

 

The death numbers are important but don't tell the whole story. The two younger people who I know who got it, one in her twenties and the other in her thirties, have been dealing with what appear to be relapses and what very well maybe chronic conditions. They are technically among the "recovered" statistic but it is very clear having it has negatively affected their lives.

 

I didn't know people existed who only looked at risk within the spectrum of "does it kill me or not" - until this disease emerged.

 

Or the spectrum of 'is this dangerous for my family or does it own the libs...'

 

Anecdotal evidence? Come on man, you know how you feel about that stuff...

lol

 

Bingo, except it is C19.

 

lol, yeap.

Also, death is the ultimate lagging indicator. The lockdown worked to slow down the number of cases and eventually number of daily death... So now that number of cases are going up, death ultimately will follow in 4-12 weeks (how many depends on how many cases and if there are newer more effective treatment).

 

Must be those Texas prisoners.

 

Illegal immigration.

 

I’ll be very concern if we start to see exponential growth again. If not, this rapid rise may still be manageable.
