PERSPECTIVE:

Ones PERSONAL VIEWPOINT

No one is going to change their viewpoint. My 96 year old mother is on the internet everyday reading about COVID. I believe if I even get to be 80 that I will be preparing to meet God every minute of every day. Probably should do that now. But my Mother is SCARED. SCARED of Covid. What is the worst thing it can do. Kill You. Your freaking 96 years old. Old people are going to die soon of something. But on this COVID Thing. Leave ME alone. I am to busy worrying about Roundup Cancer, Radiation, Global Warming, UFO's, Iran, FBI, Roundabouts, My grass, development south of 44, Apartments in the Villages, etc.

When the shortages in ventilators, mask and hospital beds arose, government mobilized industry to convert their production lines to produce the needed items and those shortages were corrected. Government mobilized the military to build the needed facilities and hospital beds. A mercy ship was sent to NYC to help but was not needed. Operation Warp Speed was initiated to fast track development of a vaccine and in record time we now have two 95% effective vaccines that will be distributed beginning December 13 in the US . By early next year the entire population of the US will have access to the vaccine. When 60 to 70 percent are vaccinated herd immunity will occur and the virus will die out. So continue to be cautious, social distance and wear a mask until you are vaccinated.

"The ENTIRE population of the US will be vaccinated early in 2021" - That is VERY optimistic. I would GUESS(?) that the vaccine will be AVAILABLE to everyone by LATE 2021. It remains to be seen how many anti-vaccine types reject it. If enough do reject it - you can kiss the herd immunity concept goodbye. The vaccine still has several hurdles to clear before it is approved to be safe.

That’s roughly 350 people. That certainly doesn’t offset 265,000. Yet the death rate in the US has increased by the lowest percentage in the last five years.
Care to try again?

I already answered that after I used the word, "nevertheless". The ALL-important thing is that CV deaths are increasing in ALL parts of the US.

An exaggeration and a conspiracy theory all wrapped up in a nice bow.

I truly hope that your grass does NOT catch CV.

CV deaths are decreasing in Florida.

I completely agree!

Thank you for this summary. Hope those that do not take this serious read it and change their ways to protect not only themselves but others.

Another 100+ post thread about the Covid-19 virus. Raise your hand if this one finally made you change your mind or position about the virus. If not I'm sure there will be another thread along in a day or two that won't change your mind either..

Sure Covid “coded” deaths continue to be added to the total. Doesn’t it strike you as strange that the 265,000 Covid coded deaths hasn’t effected the death rate in 2020? Maybe it’s because most would have died from their existing health issues. According to the CDC, only 15,000 Covid deaths did not include other health factors ...

It's like that in Oregon, too, and probably other states as well.

It seems that some people need to feel terrified to take this virus seriously. Most people in the villages are way over the age and have some underlying condition yet they gather together and take risks and say things like it’s just the flu! Yes they need to be a little scared!

[Jacob85]

Talking numbers again. That only makes people continue to downplay this virus
