'Third wave' COVID cases are falling in the Upper Midwest. Will the rest of America follow?

Throughout the hard-hit states of the Upper Midwest and northern Plains, coronavirus case counts have been falling for weeks.

supposedly more Americans died of it yesterday than our soldiers on D-Day in Normandy. (D-Day losses can be all but exact, but are we still counting horrendous car crashes wherein the deceased test positive ?) Sarcasm intended.

that was WW2 - however that's not entirely true - they picked which statistic they wanted to use:

How many American soldiers were killed during World War 2?
Deaths in World War II

In total, over 405,000 Americans gave their lives in the conflict. The military breaks out figures by state for the Army, which was the branch that contributed the most lives to the effort, by far. Nearly 235,000 soldiers were killed in battle during the war, with over 300,000 dying in total.Aug 14, 2017

Yes.
235,000 died directly in combat but the full total was 405,000 altogether.

Still.
A very sad statistic overall.

No, the comparitive statistic was correct if indeed we believe the 3K of china virus deaths yesterday. Less than 3000 Americans died on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day (Utah and Omaha.) "Saving Private Ryan" makes some think that tens of thousands died at Omaha Beach alone. Where I erred was in not counting the paratrooper deaths in the southern part of Normandy province. My statement has nothing to do with the total casualties during the entire war.

Here is where I heard it: One-day US deaths top 3,000, more than D-Day or 9/11

gotcha - the reason I replied the way I did is yesterday I had read a story claiming more deaths then the number of US forces that died as a result of WW2 which is you count them all - it not correct

It is however nothing to make light of.

290K (allegedly) from the china virus. we are getting to that war total... OTOH how many would have died from co-morbidities next month or next year without the chinese getting us this way ? The media and governments can spin this anyway they want but SARS, Avian Flu and this all seem to have a certain origin point. Sun Tsu would be so proud.

Im going to say not many would have died. Just because they have a comorbidity does not mean they will die next month or year. Many comorbidities are manageable.

comorbidity

had to look that oneup

 

[pequa1]

fortunately, if you had to look that one up, you ain't got one...

Australia abandons Covid-19 vaccine due to false HIV positives

Australia has cancelled the production of a locally made Covid-19 vaccine after trial volunteers falsely tested positive for HIV, meaning the drug could interfere with diagnosis of that virus. Antibodies generated by the jabs developed by the University of Queensland (UQ) and biotech firm CSL...

Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.9 additional conditions or causes per death. The number of mentions for each condition or cause is shown for all deaths and by age groups.

Note: 6% of 255K deaths (as of 12/5) are from Covid ONLY. 15,300 deaths solely due to Covid since Feb 2020. The rest had serious, 2.9 on average, EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITONS (e.g comorbidities).

Actually when we were unable to find TP in the stores I ripped up 6 inch squares of Snoozeday, repeatedly balled them up and used that instead, saving the Scots for the bride. (I admit that I shied away from pages with colored ink, preferring the obits, tide tables, and some advertisements instead.) Having sewers here lessened that other concern.

The whole concept or argument that some people would have died anyway if not for the Covid is comical, ridiculous, assanine, or whatever else applies. If im not mistaken everybody is gonna die eventually so WTF

If i have stage 4 cancer and get run over by a bus walking out of the hospital the cause of death is the bus. If i have stage 4 cancer and get murdered the cause of death is getting whacked

same concept if someone has high risk health issues such as diabetes and takes insulin everyday then catches covid and dies the proximate cause of death is covid NOT diabetes

Some people will never get it.
