I won't click that link, I have read enough already so I don't need anymore "information"
Just wear the damn mask when you go out and stay home as much as you can....its simple.
Is everyone forgetting about the VERY LIBERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LISTING A DEATH AS A COVID-19 DEATH?

Same thing all over at this point..no?
Is the States different?
Most other nations that I looked at had sensible trends, they have cases numbers which follow the death rate for the most part. Look at Australia for example, the second wave was actually accompanied by a wave of deaths. The United States has a much more complex curve for a few reasons, but still makes more sense than some of these nations with flat death rates but exploding case numbers.
I wonder if it's our difference in Health Systems?
Here in Canada our Government got the ball rolling on increased testing which would increase cases but not deaths...
Our Government also rushes through any Drugs or Vax they feel like...
Or maybe we have more young people per capita?

I created a thread a couple of weeks ago where I detailed the shutdown timeline for the UK and Australia, which may give you some more clues about what is going on. Keep in mind countries in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres have Winter at opposite times of the year. In Australia we mostly had a small first wave because it happened during Summer but the second wave hit during Winter, and the fact we squashed the first wave so quickly by going into a strict lockdown meant not many people had immunity when the second wave came around. That's why I'm so interested to see what happens in the UK and other hard hit places when Winter arrives, it will tell us a great deal of about how effective and how long lasting herd immunity is.

Well one of my pet theories is collectively we are in lousy physical shape here in the US. We still smoke too much drink too much eat to much # have too much fat too much cholesterol etc. etc. Mentioned this early on here and was basically blasted, lol but I'm sure it's an contributing factor to so many deaths here compared to elsewhere. There isn't some wonder care or drug elsewhere just collectively we were in worse shape

Don't forget, this thing has mutated quite a bit, more contagious, and seemingly less lethal.
NOT less lethal. It was never "lethal" in any real way to younger healthy people. Yes, a tiny minuscule percentage of seemingly healthy people died, TINY FRACTION. As any of us said from the start the real death rate is close to 0.0003% if that.

The first wave took out the old, sick and infirm people first very quickly, hence the apparent high death rates in the first wave.
Now, the "normal" population is getting it and the truth is apparent, what many of us had said from the start. It's very bad to get any "virus" when you are 80+, have secondary conditions or weakened immune system, the younger healthy people recover.

I think just the fact it's a "Corona" family of virus will make the immunity long lasting. Completely unscientific opinion there though, lol.
Concerning the uptick in deaths in Canada, could they possibly be massaging the flu numbers to try to stack the Covid death numbers?
I think herd immunity has always been the answer.....caution at first so we don't overwhelm the system...then herd immunity...

In the natural turn of events the old, the sick, and the infirm are always
the first to succumb?

Its very bad to get ANYTHING when you are 80 plus years?
Like any machine of that age your components are worn and your engine
is ready to give up the ghost?
So its normal?
.....the mask keeps you from giving it to people but doesn't guarantee you won't still get it.
