I don't understand how a hoax can keep killing people? Maybe they didn't drink enough fish tank cleaner.
I’ll be damned if I go out like this, pass me the opioids.
It's ironic that the people most likely to believe in conspiracy theories are also the ones most likely to call "hoax" when they see legitimate news. I guess there's some psychological reason behind it. Or maybe they just aren't that bright.
@4:03, No, the lying press and democrat party are just a colluding cabal of dishonest tyrants and ghouls using every crisis for political gain.
Another factor is that so many "crisis" are obviously staged hoaxes or far-away panic inducing events that are only seen in media, but never experienced firsthand.
I know some highly-intelligent people who buy in to "alternative news," and I am confounded by it. The only thing I can figure is that it touches them on a level outside of the intellect, perhaps in the area commonly referred to as the reptilian brain. Or maybe they have limited themselves to narrow and homogeneous sources of information.
This would be the second death third Mississippian.
I missed the second one. I know the first was a man who died in a Louisiana hospital, now this one. Catch us up on the second one. No mention of it.
Hoax? PEOPLE. THIS SHYT IS REAL!
Reptil.....WHAT?
While I admit that this is a real situation, Covid-19, I'm just not convinced, using the supplied numbers of World, Country and State infected and deaths that this is the plague to end humanity as it is being touted, by many, to be. Numbers supplied by WHO,CDC, ECDC and NHC still come out, at this time, less than 0.05% overall. I'm sure people will talk about expected infections, but until they bloom like a Mushroom cloud, I don't like living in a box out of fear.
It’s real, it’s not extremely deadly compared to the flu but it has horrific, rapid progression in some cases, and it’s extremely virulent, way beyond what the seasonal flu is. It was also likely designed by a “technology” professor, Charles Liber, of Harvard, who was paid $150K living expenses and $50K a month by the Chinese government to run a “technology” lab at the University of Wuhan.
@5:42 Thanks for your post. It's reasonable. I paused and took a good hard look at the numbers again, trying to not have a preconceived idea. I took the worse area, Italy, and looked at the numbers again.
We don't know the ratio of infected versus infected and confirmed. That would help immensely. If it's 100:1 then all this is overblown. If it's 10:1 then we have serious problems.
Back to topic though... people are dying, yes. Most US cases have underlying conditions. I think we are trying to avoid swamping the healthcare system, which will drive mortality rates significantly higher.
It's a gamble by all measures. We've chosen the road to go down, no going back now.
I'm numb to it now.
JT's stand-in host in the mornings said today that it far outpaces the flu stats. He gave his rationale with data, timelines, etc to show, he says, that it's twice as deadly.
I can't decide whether to listen to the medical doctor at 6:07 or the medical doctor on Supertalk in the mornings.
... trying to not have a preconceived idea.
Yeah, sure, whatever you say. You're the expert!
NEXT
Louisina state Department of Health- 1795 diagnosed, 491 hospitalized, 165 on ventilator, 65 died. Hundreds are in the hospital waiting for confirmation. It’s the next Italy. Wake up, people!
Why can’t Mississippi department of health give more specific information? Total incompetence.
Won’t be long until they all start heading up I-55 like post-Katrina to use our medical facilities
Shit bout to hit the fan ..,.
Tate just overruled Tupelo’s stay at home Order and that of an other local government. He’s too much of a Trump sycophant to put the health of the people first.
When everyone is essential people will begin to realize Mississippi is way above average!
Ain't got none of that northern type wasted effort! No way no how!
Also extra points for tater because he's been praying on this decision!
Once again:
"underlying health conditions",
what 6:36 said - if the only testing people that have strong symptoms, then it stands to reason that the majority of THOSE are gonna test positive. Doesn't mean the rest of us are. Doesn't really me much at all.
