Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

[Tom Scully]

The U.S. COVID-19 death rate has now dropped below 2%. As of this morning, it is 1.92% (281,000 deaths/14.7 million cases). This means the average survival rate is 98.08%.

Yet, Democratic governors have learned nothing and are once again reflexively resorting to one-size-fits-all lockdown measures. Democrats still refuse--just refuse--to base their response measures on the readily available data that prove that for most Americans, COVID-19 poses either an astronomically low risk, a very low risk, or a low risk, depending on your age group. But Democrats simply refuse to consider this crucial, profusely documented fact.

Since Gov. Gavin Panic Newsom is re-imposing lockdown measures, let's take a look at California's COVID-19 numbers from the state's department of health website:

ALL AGES
Cases: 1.31 million
Deaths: 19,800 deaths
Death rate: 1.51%

AGES 0-17
Cases: 147,807
Deaths: 2
Death rate: 0.0014% (110 times * lower* than the common flu's death rate of 0.15%-0.25%)
11.3% of state's cases
0.0001% of state's deaths

AGES 18-49

Death rate: 1.11% (survival rate: 98.89%)

Without the lockdowns, there would be no emergency or IC healthcare in the most covid-19 affected areas, and you have the intelligence to grasp this reality but you are too politicized to focus on it. Doctors, nurses, respiration specialists are already pushed to the extreme. They have no family life, patients die in their arms or in no arms. Family cannot visit. These care providers have become sick and died in troubling numbers, at least one thousand, by five months agp. The long term effects of covid-19.... it does untolled vascular system damage from the kidneys to the brain, is ignored by you.

To put this in a common context, consider that your odds of rolling double sixes with one roll of a pair of dice are 1/36, or 2.77%. Suppose you were offered the chance to win $5 million by rolling double sixes but on the condition that if you failed, your retirement account would be cut by 80%. Virtually no one would take that gamble, because the odds of winning would be extremely low. For ages 0-64, the odds of dying from COVID-19 are even lower than the odds of rolling double sixes.

You still haven't understood. It's not about the odds of dying for an individual that the lock downs are needed. It's to prevent that the virus spreads as quickly as it has been doing and limit the risk that non symptomatic people infect other vulnerable people.

The ignorance and selfishness you are displaying is one of the main reasons so many vulnerable people have already died.

COVID-19 was ranked as the leading cause of death in the U.S. this week, with 11,820, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. That's more than the number of Americans who died from ischemic heart disease (10,724), tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer (3,965), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (3,766)

Why do you insist on posting severe disinformation on COVID-19?

North Carolina has an all time high in hospitalizations. Over 1 million new cases were recorded in the last 5 days. States are running out of hospital beds. Record deaths are being recorded in every state. Yet, Michael T Griffith continues to post garbage claiming COVID-19 is "low risk". You are posting very dangerous disinformation.     

"Low risk" Griffith? We basically have a 9/11 death total each day.

According to Michael T Griffith if you're 64 then you're immune to COVID, but soon as you hit 65 a couple of months later, then you're at "high risk". That's the bogus right wing propaganda and conspiracies he listens to. Absolutely ridiculous. He has no clue what he's talking about. COVID-19 is killing people of ALL ages including children and young adults, because this is a deadly virus.
