CDC States COVID Mortality at 'Epidemic Threshold', Is It the End?

in Deep Dives4 years ago (edited)

The CDC says the data for COVID-19 mortality is on the cup of cutting off what's needed to call COVID-19 an epidemic. With it's policies to diagnose probable or assumed COVID-19 presence in patients as "dying from COVID-19", it still comes up with some revealing statements.

As more testing has been done and continues to be done, detection of COVID-19 cases is rising with it. Or alleged cases since the PCR test is known to product false positives and negatives. But the increased cases only helped to lower the infection fatality rate for COVID-19. Especially since deaths have fallen 80-90% recently compared to the highs in April.

The death rates now are so low, that a weekly "Key Updates" summary from the CDC for the week ending June 27, 2020, says the decreased deaths is putting COVID-19 on notice for the "epidemic threshold":

Nationally, levels of influenza-like illness (ILI) and COVID-19-like illness (CLI) activity remain lower than peaks seen in March and April but are increasing in most regions. The percentage of specimens testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also increased from last week. Mortality attributed to COVID-19 decreased compared to last week and is currently at the epidemic threshold but will likely increase as additional death certificates are processed.

The downplay the epidemic nearing it's end, they are sure that death number will spike up to keep it above the epidemic threshold. Just what's need to support the experts and media narrative of a so-called "second wave".

All the media can do is report on cases now, since death keep falling. That's all they have to spark the fear in the masses to obey and justify more authoritarian measures being imposed on people.

Don't worry they said, these measures are just temporary. We don't have the data, it's just a precaution. Then when real data came in, they just kept the measures in place. Then when more data came in, like less deaths but more cases (which doesn't matter since it's just cases of people getting something and not dying), they decided to bring back the measures they had removed a few weeks ago. The data doesn't matter. They ignore it.

Trump even called them out for the reporting on cases and not lower deaths.

New China Virus Cases up (because of massive testing), deaths are down, “low and steady”. The Fake News Media should report this and also, that new job numbers are setting records!

Yeah those fake job numbers don't mean shit, like how more jobs were created when people were forced out of work. Manipulated math that contradicts reality. Anyways, he's got it right about the cases up and deaths down. Yet the media keep parading case numbers as if that means anything about the lethality of the virus.

It's been about two weeks they have been freaking out over more cases being reported due to more testing. Which is just what makes sense when you test more. But have deaths started to climb again in correlation with the rise in cases? No. They are running on fumes to stoke the flames of fear.

Sort:  

Had my first covid secure dentist appointment today. It took all my concentration to not roar with laughter. 😷

On another note, you seem to have summoned the wrath of Bernie (xxxxxxxxxx). Guess he's a covid believer and wants others to see it that way too. So Bernie may be a leftist snowflake after all. Who knew?! 🤓

Just out of curiosity, how do you suffer dentistry with a mask on? I had a meeting today that made me reschedule my appointment, so I didn't get the experience.

What is covid-secure? That they accept patients?

First a phone call to ask a number of covid related questions like if any symptoms have been noticed. Then once at the office to have me check off the same questions on paper and sign it after putting on a mask. Then taking off the mask to wash out my mouth. Meanwhile all staff is behind face screen thingies, rubber gloves, gowns, the whole nine yards. Then into the chair and the mask comes off again so that they can actually work on my mouth.

All this for the flu!

You know, when they won't remove the restrictions after they can no longer justify them medically, it will be very difficult to muster up protests after the fatigue the BLM riots have caused.

You know they won't relax them either. Those thermal cameras are here to stay. So are the plexiglas shields at the grocer. Maybe they will let the children play with each other again, because if they don't homeschooling will continue to increase so that kids can be socialized at home. Weird that socialization has long been one of the claimed primary benefits of public school, and now that dynamic has been completely reversed.

Thanks!

Yeah this is the new normal. Masks are mandatory in all indoors in my province. It's never going away. Grocery store shields indeed, that shit is dumb. Homeschooling is the only positive thing to come out of the scamdemic.

The Covid-19 mortality rate anyone under 45 is almost zero. Yet many US school systems are planning to keep kids out of school this fall. It's not in line with the political agenda for teacher unions to re-open schools until after the November elections. Schools in many other counties are already back in session.

Yeah it's straight up madness, and most of the madness-followers can't be reasoned with.

I see we're both getting hammered by the same trolls, any suggestions of how to deal with these feckless cunts???

Ignore. Reason doesn't work.

I guess it's the only thing to do

The problem are from the person who don't believe that covid can kill and infect people. People who don't want to follow the government restriction. Well, we can't blame them for the US government has a lot of lies to their people!

Just stay safe and make your body healthy and strong. Don't forget to pray to God for those people who believe only, like me... 😇

There appears to be a strong correlation between the severity of COVID-19 and Vitamin D levels. This makes sense since vitamin D regulates the immune system. Vitamin D regulates cytokines and blood clotting. The most dangerous symptoms of COVID19 are "cytokine storms" (aka inflammation) and blood clotting.

Sunlight turns cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D. This is probably why the death rate is down in the US while the death rate appears to be on the rise in Brazil and Argentina. The death rate is likely to increase in the US in the Fall and Winter.

Anyway, it seems to me that the thing we need to do is improve the American diet and for people to get some sun. The best time to catch rays is at noon. 10 minutes will do.
