Yeah, TheFlop is just being snarky about how covid deaths are being counted, as if it's any different than how influenza deaths have been counted for the last however many decades.
I could be wrong, but I don't recall states routinely stating flu deaths as one number (before the outbreak is even done)......only to significantly revise the number downward like Colorado did once it was determined how many people Covid truly killed. On an unrelated note, at least we don't hear of any flu deaths or pneumonia deaths since the Covid pandemic hit.

What he was saying is those forwarding requests could be because people were moving from one burrough to another, and staying in the NYC metro. The further breakdown would tell us if they moved from NYC to outside of the metro area at a higher rate than usual due to the pandemic.
I realize that and you missed the point....the point is that there hasn't been alot of effort put in by the "just one lifers" to differentiate 100 year old people that died of heart failure that happened to also be asymptomatic Covid-19 positive. So why the worry about gathering more detail about mail forwarding in NYC? It happened during the Covid-19 epidemic....must have been caused by Covid.

I wonder if they break the data down more than that. It's incredibly common to move from the 5 burroughs to Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, or NJ. That being said, I hope anyone moving away to somewhere farther than that quarantined when they got there.
Why break it down? Let's just go under the assumption that since it occurred during Covid-19.....that it was Covid-19 related. Isn't that how the body count nationwide is currently being figured?

Perhaps Trump and Mnuchin could do something about this with the $500 billion slush fund that they've sat on for 7 weeks.
Ahhhhhh......getting a little sensitive now that you realize that the collateral damage of Covid is going to be multiples more serious than Covid actually was? Your tired old everything is Trump's fault is the equivalent of the ODoyle family chanting ODoyle rules as their station wagon goes off the cliff in Billy Madison.

16 year old male died last night just north of Cogswell in Sargeant County in a single vehicle accident after hitting a deer.
I'm expecting Rednek to contact the family to express his condolences.
If roads statewide had be even closed this could have been prevented.

Probably because a vaccine is at least a year or two from being available. That being said, even if a vaccine were developed tomorrow, what makes you think this administration could quickly get it distributed nationwide? They still haven't figured out how to distribute tests or PPE so what makes you think distribution of vaccine wouldn't be an unmitigated boondoggle with the presidents unqualified and corrupt son in law in charge of distribution?
What's it like to be afraid of your own shadow?

I think the stats show that kids catch it, but they’re at virtually no risk of dying from it.
Correct, my typo.

Even though kids are at virtually no risk of catching Covid......they get to suffer an increased rate of sexual exploitation because of being quarantined. Just one life.

Do you have substantive response to his post or is it just defensive !@#$-posting all the time with you?
Remember a month ago when you said the virus had peaked and we'd be well under 60K deaths? It looks like your as garbage at modeling this as you are at practicing medicine.
His estimate was closer than the national health experts in the media have thrown out there
-
One other question, since all of the Covid models are consistently being changed and revised downward....and the economy only tanked due to those flawed models......does that mean MafiaMan gets his job back?

No it is! It means you can kill your grandparents and be able to test "negative" so you don't have to feel guilty. WIN-WIN!:-)
Can you guarantee me that if I wear a Covid blocking mask that my elderly grandparents won't die of old age, cardiac arrest, won't develop Alzheimer's, and won't be severely hurt in a fall? Because if not, it seems like all this testing and wearing a mask crap are only saving them from a very small percentage of ailments that could kill them and it is coming at a very high cost to society.

Just to be extra super duper I'm gonna wear a mask when I'm by myself safe is it too early to start talking about the 3rd wave? I like to plan ahead.

Riiiight. In no parallel universe would Covid have killed that many people by now.
That said, it is crazy by the end of the month Covid will likely be the 4th deadliest event in US history behind 1918 pandemic, Civil War and WW2.
To put it in perspective, at our current pace (especially now that we're opening) we'll pass Civil War casualty numbers in just under 2 years. Civil War lasted for 4 years.
To the just one lifers out there.....when comparing Covid-19 to past US war body counts, at least try and be accurate. During the Civil War, WW2, pretty much any war, the vast majority of deaths were in the 18-45/50 age range and were perfectly healthy individuals....otherwise the military wouldn't have let them join. How many perfectly healthy people has COVID-19 taken in that same age group?

Dude they canceled the Brick and the Ivan Hlinka...
It was meant more for those that don't have one of the best 10 year old hockey players on the continent. A little different deal comparing local camps....full of local kids....versus invitationals that involve flying kids in from around the us and Canada
-
East Grand Forks just cancelled their June hockey camps.........80% of deaths are elderly/long term care patients but the young people that are almost entirely unaffected by Covid keep paying the price.

Yeah...but this is the Brits too...jolly good fun, eh?
Unfortunately I find some of the Brits coverage of the US more objective than much of what is found in the US.
-
So assuming these numbers are even close to accurate, show me a Covid-19 death and I'll show you someone with heart disease or some similar condition that was too afraid of the media created hysteria to seek treatment........but don't forget the added bonus of a crashed economy.

To date there are just over 271k Corona deaths in the world. Yet we kill people on purpose at a much higher rate and it is ignored
Just like with Covid.....the lives cited in your link could have almost all been saved if just only young and middle aged people had just stayed at home for the rest of their lives.

West Fargo just got -- https://www.thepiggybbqofwestfargo.com/
I'm sure many people have read the NYT article on it or saw it on the local news yesterday in Fargo/Grand Forks. Super excited for this! -- https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/08/travel/restaurant-report-the-piggy-in-walker-minn.html
This will kill in Fargo.
With that said, was "The Wild Hog" ahead of its time in Grand Forks, or just mismanaged/poorly ran?
Thoughts?
@Oxbow6 thoughts?
Wild Hog was very poorly run. Too many owners, none of which had any restaurant experience, and because it was basically a hobby instead of their primary source of income they never seemed to put any effort into learning.

I suppose it is alot to ask of a certain segment to objectively look at the Covid situation when they are still butt hurt about an election that occurred 3.5 years ago.

Condolences go out to Rednek and a few others. This news isn't going to help the narrative.

2020 Dumpster Fire (Enter at your own risk)

For those that are obsessed with hating Trump, I hope you realize that the states that are solidly in his corner come November are already open. NY and CA can do whatever they want because their vote is already known. However, for Trump to win again taking states like Michigan and Wisconsin will go a long way. And the whiny b*tch governor's in those states are making it awfully easy for people to vote Trump when they see their leaders constantly moving the goalposts and making arbitrary decisions like visiting the Home Depot is fine but kids playing baseball isn't
