Death tolls and government action

@dood111 said
Problem is since March 1st Corona cases in the US have doubled every three days and will be doubled again tomorrow despite all the business closings and shut downs of gatherings, shut-ins of people, etc.
If that trend continues for another 30 days we will be in the middle of a catastrophe.

Corona virus identifications will spike as we test them.

The better indication of corona is the number of deaths per day. Yes this number will continue to climb, but then slow down.

By August the number of deaths will be about zero.

The Corona virus, just like all the other viruses that cause flu season, does not like heat. Heat destroys the virus.

Why are cases of Covid-19 beginning to spike in tropical climates? Saudi Arabia is pretty toasty this time of year and its cases are growing.

And for the umpteenth time, this is not the flu.

They are not mutually independent parameters though.

Fair point.

From the list above, the government has shut down the economy for only corona virus and taken away our freedom to work and live our lives.

True.

When this is over, let's remember: it was not the China Corona virus which killed most people. It is the "measures against" the China Corona virus which will kill many times as many people as the virus itself.
And that will be intentional. Because, let's be very clear here: the China Corona virus is most dangerous to the prosperous, financially comfortable elderly, who have nothing to fear but nature. The crackdown that is happening is most dangerous to the poor, the disenfranchised, the already straitened, those who were just about hanging on. And that is [i]exactlyl[/] how the RepubLibertarians, in the USA but also in other countries like my own, want it.

Time for a bloody revolution.

That's just stupid. If viruses didn't like the heat, they wouldn't kill so many of the people who turn up the heat to 25C: the elderly.

Just a quick search shows the following in terms of death tolls annually in the US.

1. Corona virus: 108

2. AIDS: 13,000

3. Flu: 30,000

4. Car wrecks: 40,000

5. Alcoholism: 88,000

From the list above, the government has shut down the economy for only corona virus and taken away our freedom to work and live our lives.

What !! No stats on gun violence ??

Do another search in September and get back to us.

Freedom trumps both

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. (Romans 13:1)

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient. (Titus 3:1)

When the temps stay between 80 and 110 degrees and the ultra violet rays increase the virus will die off faster.

The chart you gave said expected deaths near zero in the UK and US by August.

This is exactly why I asked @Duchess64 to include in her updates, the increase in cases since the last update.

Knowing the rate of increase can help you calculate the double rate. But at any rate, the exponential growth must suddenly revert back to exponential decay in this virus - or any virus case.

Really? Who has said that?

Ultraviolet light and warmth have shown to disrupt the transmission of
some viruses, but whether it will work with coronavirus is unknown.

Or have you been doing some research of your own?

It just seems logical to me that the combination would be detrimental to virus transmission. It helps to explain why virus transition is reduced to about zero every summer.

We will see if this virus is like no other virus we have ever seen and continue strong through the summer months.

Yes, God forbid we strain the health care system.

I know, let's destroy capitalism, force everyone to cancel their lives indefinitely, and spew out a stimulus package that will devalue the dollar and make everyone lose more and more money as we jump head long into national fiscal insolvency in order to "unstrain" the health care system.

Sounds like a game plan.

This is the true overreaction. Never mind the media. They have nothing on you, whodey.

Your link said no more deaths in August.

I was just giving a possible reason.
