If the people who are dead, hadn’t contracted the virus, 99.999 percent of them would be alive. End of story.
You trying to downplay this virus, are the reason American can’t have nice things right now, and the reason 200,000 people are dead. You don’t care about anyone but yourselves, not even your families. It’s all about you and your comfort, and your ego. Your attitude = murder. End of story.
If you want to be patriotic, stop worrying about a piece of cloth that doesn’t die, and start worrying about your fellow Americans who are dying from this virus, and wear a damn mask!
Seems the willingness of some to write off deaths of the elderly or those with underlying conditions isn’t much different from the death panels they talked so much about a few years back. As far as cause of death, if you have cancer you might die from any number of other ailments. Cancer might not kill you, but you could die from pneumonia. Cause of death would still be pneumonia. COVID-19 isn’t an either or situation, it’s in ADDITION to seasonal flu, pneumonia, etc. Wear a mask.
This should not be a political football at all. Escambia County is counting actual current hospitalizations, Santa Rosa County cumulative and such discrepancies on and on. No clear statistics are available. All over the world people are dying WITH Corona not FROM it. Sort of like pneumonia – you are suffering from an illness and are already bedridden, then if pneumonia sets in it’s often fatal.
A good indicator how bad this virus is would be to compare the number of deaths in this country to 2919 ! How many Americans died during the same time frame last year of natural causes In comparison to 2020.
I’m not a senior citizen. I am not immunocompromised. I don’t have a pre-existing condition. Even if I contracted COVID-19, I would probably be okay.
I still wear a mask, wash my hands, and practice social distancing because this isn’t about me. It’s about protecting my neighbors.
Act like an American. Wear a mask.
K-///So what you’re saying is as long as they are seniors and it doesn’t affect you that’s to be expected. That attitude in this county is what’s got us in this if it’s not my age group or happened to my family member it’s not a big deal. I had a beloved family member with covid sent to a Tallahassee nursing home because the designated covid recovery nursing home in Pensacola was full. I’m so tired of the self centered righteous Trumper pseudo statisticians.
Of the half of the deceased who were NOT in nursing homes, how many of those were of advanced age but not in nursing homes?
That would be a real telling number. As it sits right now, for Escambia County, based on the 11,000 cases of the virus, and right at 200 deceased, that’s a 1.8 percent casualty rate.
When you factor out the disproportionate impacts on the highest at-risk group, what risk is the majority of the population facing?
That’s the answer a lot of us want, but are not getting.
