I'd wanna know who said it was okay.
Please be careful.
My stepdad just died October 30. The coroner put down COVID related because his lungs never recovered. He never regained his smell and taste, always was short of breath and had developed blood clots that unfortunately, one got to his heart. He was only 54. Before this, he was healthy with absolutely no underlying conditions.
I share that because COVID doesn't always kill people right away. It has lingering effect and now my family knows it. I don't live my life in fear by any means, but it upsets me when people brush off the virus like it's nothing and people don't take it seriously.
I have questions about the 113% you keep citing. What is that number based on? How do they calculate how many deaths are "expected"? However, its really beside the point I'm trying to make.
I find it irritating that we are told to wear masks and stay home for the sake of toilet paper hoarding jerks who don't GARA about anyone. I find it irritating that governments deign to tell me how many of my friends and family members I can have in my own got dam home. I find it irritating that my 5-year old grand daughter has to wear a mask to kindergarten, when there is next-to-zero evidence of student-teacher transmission. I find it irritating that the media is panicking and politicizing a surge which was obviously created by voting lines and election related demonstrations, where they cheered the left causes and shamed the right causes. I'm irritated to see businesses restricted in a free country, when, for instance, data from Nashville showed very little spread from bars and restaurants.
I realize there is a lag. I realize there are 6 or 7 weeks left. I realize that some folks, and most older folks can have a hard time with covid 19, and some die from it. My point is, gross death toll is gonna look close to normal variance this year compared to recent years where there was no 100-year pandemic, granted, on the higher end. Deaths from other causes, like flu, are down because they are attributed to Covid. It's irritating that you don't find that irritating.
The reaction to covid has caused worsening psychological and financial issues on the general population, and state/local governments. The fear and despair will make people accept measures once unthinkable in a free, capitalist society. Its hard to believesoe many of you smart guys are willing to go right along with those measures.
It’s a point of frustration for me obviously. We hear about masking and distancing 24/7/365. Not that they aren’t helpful.
But no one addresses eating well, zinc, vitamin c, exercising, etc all of which are likely way more impactful and helpful in your individual ability to fight COVID.
All this ass sucking is hard to watch.I am glad you are feeling better, and of course I am brown nosing for the ranking
You just lowered the validity level of your top twenty list considerably.
I figure it's probably a matter of focus. While your thoughts might constitute good advice for most individuals to maximize their chances of surviving an infection, I don't think that's really what an epidemiologist is going for. Rather, he has to think about what we should focus on to arrest the spread and minimize the impact of a disease in the entire population. The individual strategy doesn't necessarily transfer to the population strategy. With the entire population, we have to account for not only people who are immunocompromised, but other people who cannot make the necessary lifestyle changes for whatever reason, as well as those who will simply refuse. Since the people who don't follow the best advice for themselves individually are a danger to others besides themselves, the epidemiologist has to look for advice that takes them into account.When this pandemic first began, I posted here that the first thing I did was to search for ways to boost my immune system. I thought then, and still think, a healthy and robust immune system is at least as important as masks and distance, but nobody in authority ever mentions that.
At one point in my life I was on track to become an actuary.
I have left that field behind this is what I believe they would call an outlier.

Depends on their level of cardioA strong immune system is fantastic for having a good outcome when you have been infected. But, it's not a cure-all for stopping the spread of a deadly virus. People with strong immune systems can still spread the virus and it's obviously something that is spreading in massive amounts in this country. As that spread gains velocity, even some people with strong immune systems are going to suffer badly and some will die from it.
I'm going to steal a tactic from @Marvin the Martian here and remember a scene from The West Wing, when Charlie is having a convo with the President about how he got suckered into thinking his tax advance was actually a rebate. When asked what he did with the money, he said he paid his Visa bill. "A trip to Banana Republic would have killed you?" Bartlet says. He explains that the plan was to inject money into retail.A strong immune system is fantastic for having a good outcome when you have been infected.

We can't overlook this graphic:
The Hispanic and Latino communities are also driving up the Denver statistics. In terms of percent positive tests, cases, hospitalization and deaths, this demographic leads the way. Within the Hispanic and Latino demographic, the 20-40 age group is the highest in all numbers, and within that it is males. Hispanic and Latino neighborhoods are the reddest on the Denver map. Some of these neighborhoods have positivity test rates in excess of 30%. The relative numbers for this demographic exceed the percentage of the population in general.
My demographic and my neighborhood and age positivity test rate is below 5% which is where the health officials like to see it and the cases and hospitalizations are correspondingly low.
Some of the important factors for this Hispanic Latino cluster could be:
Working in occupations where social distancing and other precautions are not always possible.
Living in households with more people.
Socializing in larger groups.
Not knowing or understanding the risks and dangers.
I don't think we need one-size-fits-all curfews, shutdowns, and other restrictions. Instead we need to focus our efforts on where the problems really are. This virus has always clustered around different factors, recognizing these clusters and focusing extra effort to address those is very important.
There's been a bug going around Clark County schoolkids and their households. Not the flu and not Covid, masks and distancing be damned.

As I said, your advice is probably good individual advice. But it might not be the best focus for containing an epidemic. What we're hearing from our medical professionals is what is needed to best contain the epidemic.It is indeed a matter of focus. When we turn to epidemiologists to lead the charge, we are going to get epidemiologist's advice. Epidemiology is obviously an important specialty as we fight covid, but so is simple immune system boosters such as telling all of us about the importance of sleep, nutrition, exercise, and hydration.

Isn't it like measles. Measles are not a major problem for the majority of kids who are healthy. We demand vaccinations to protect kids with compromised immune systems.
Maybe true. I know of 3 families where young adults were infected with mild symptoms (including mine) and only one other person in those families got infected.Also, sick people are the virus factories. If people are less prone to get sick the community will benefit.
Depends on their level of cardio
For sure!! And to be fair an outlier!That's next level, black belt kind of stuff right there.
If I go do some situps, will I get extra votes inFor sure!! And to be fair an outlier!
79.8 million voters did hold him accountable.The death numbers are 3-5 747s crashing everyday. If air travel was that unsafe, we’d do something about it.
Almost 1900 Americans died yesterday and the POTUS doesn’t give a shit. He gave up on pretending to care months ago. I don’t understand how he is not held accountable for the total dereliction of duty. He’s simply not doing his job.
The vast majority of folks in Indiana have low Vit D levels. 1000-2000 IU daily for everyone with dark skin and 20 minutes top less in the sun between 10-2 for light skinned folks. Or take the supplementI am glad you are feeling better, and of course I am brown nosing for the ranking after I complained about CO ignoring my posts on voting machines without a paper trail.
There is good science that people with low vitamin D are having worse outcomes, and I have added the supplement. But there is still a catch, do they have low vitamin D before they get COVID or does COVID block their bodies from processing vitamin D? I have not seen anyone completely discount the latter possibility.
Biden will save us!!79.8 million voters did hold him accountable.
Depends on whether you achieve a level of explosiveness that essentially leaves you immune to CovidIf I go do some situps, will I get extra votes inMonday'sWednesday's poll?
Biden will save us!!
Sad isn’t it. A reporter tried to ask him a question last week. His staff couldn’t get the reporter out of the room quick enough.

don't look for much when it comes to unclebulk in the rankings. as for you; you've posted less frequently this past week. i suspect that will result in a rise in your ranking. we'll seeYou're being too hard on yourself. I think you often post next level, black belt kind of humor fairly regularly. And that post was top notch in that regard. It was so good that you might even have a shot at rising high enough in your "weekly" rankings to join Mark, Bulk, and I on your extremely exclusive and highly esteemed honorable mentions list.
