@david everybody has their opinion.
REGARDING:
“counting these as corona deaths, I just dunno if this is an artificially inflated number being that these people could have been very close to the end anyway.”
Nobody dies of old age.
They die because old age weakens them. They probably didn’t lose as many years of living as most younger people who die, but they lost their lives. If they died by poisoning or gunshot wound, most of us wouldn’t wonder if their killers should really be charged with murder. I guess some would, though.
AND
“they seem satisfied with the damage they have done and the lives they have destroyed”
Interesting some talk as if — actually seem to believe — that was the goal rather than reducing the number of dead below the 2,500,000 dead they estimate would have hit had they not done it. (Just think: many of those complaining wouldn’t be alive to complain.) They understood there were tradeoffs, explained the alternative outcomes from different actions and inactions. Different leaders had different values.

okay, some old people that are admittedly susceptible. but i wonder about the age of the staff deaths, you always have some old nurses that dunno when to retire, i’d think those were the staff deaths.
counting these as corona deaths, i just dunno if this is an artificially inflated number being that these people could have been very close to the end anyway.
at least some of the hysteria has died down with some things opening back up. the hard charge to destroy the economy by the powers that be has lightened up, they seem satisfied with the damage they have done and the lives they have destroyed.
@Nod,
I’d say they’re going up because of all of those reasons. I see people out with NO masks – the biggest majority of them. I always wear a mask, even though I hate it. I also notice people getting very casual about staying six feet away in lines. etc. even when the places are plainly marked. I expected an upswing, but I also understand the need to open back up. If people will be careful, then things won’t get back to epidemic proportions. It’s the people who are relaxing too much who are going to cause the spread.
I wonder if the Covid cases are going up because we’ve opened up more or because of more testing Or because people are not taking the precautions they should Whatever the reason the cases are definitely increasing.
