I used our presidents tweet as an anecdote for what we are currently experiencing as it applies directly to our situation. Which you would have understood if you were not so caught up in the fact that it was from 2014.

I honestly have no idea how anyone can be mad at Trump at this point. Even the woke Dems aren't botching about him (as much) anymore. The attention should be turned to Burgum and his complete lack of compassion for human life.

I had a hospice exception to be with her in her care facility until she died. (And I believe those exceptions went away shortly after.) We lose 120,000 Americans annually to Alzheimer’s. And we know less about cause, prevention, and cure. You might catch this virus. It might kill you. If you have Alzheimer’s, it will kill you. My sympathy for you and your family. Very difficult to see a loved one go through that. 2 2

yzerman19 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I don’t remember there being a quarantine related to Ebola...must have been limited to a couple geographies?

If I recall, there is some evidence that the damage done from the virus is long term, I assume that is on persons that became severely ill and recovered.

SIOUXFAN97 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm can someone help me make sense of this chart...it's going around the internet saying that the true death count from corona is around 37K?

The medications used to support blood pressure can cause long term damage. And so on and so on.

There is a time lag between when a death happens, when it is reported, and when the death certificate is officiated. The page you are on has numbers based solely on the published death certificates, which according to them lags real time reported deaths. From the same page: *Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction, age, and cause of death. For example, two weeks ago we were at 35K reported deaths. Their general overview page includes all deaths marked as corona as they are reported. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

There’s a good explanation here under the heading “Deaths”. https://www.health.nd.gov/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/north-dakota-coronavirus-cases Media is reporting 25; only 16 registered as “COVID” with other listed as COVID as a secondary or contributing and some data pending.
dynato Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 1 hour ago, keikla said: There's always going to be contention over the death numbers and how they are determined. If we know that covid creates a hypercoaguable state, and a patient with covid dies from a pulmonary embolism (with no previous related conditions or issues), did the patient die from covid? Interestingly enough, CDC has put together an attempt to quantify the deaths of covid by looking at total deaths regardless of cause. They are finding that the USA is experiencing 22-36% more deaths than normal on a weekly basis. And this excludes NYC data. They suggest this is an indicator of the true burden of mortality potentially related to COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
The Sicatoka Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 This is a multi-factor, multi-dimensional problem, a classic MIMO system to the controls engineers out there. One-dimensional linear thinking will not get us out of this. If you want to say lock down, flatten, and protect health care infrastructures, and nothing else, you’re one dimensional. If you want to say open it all up and let ‘er buck, and nothing else, you’re one dimensional. Governor Bergum is thinking multi-dimensionally and he deserves credit for that. Will he make some mistakes on the way? Yes. But I’d rather that than him locked into “we’re doing this and only this” immovable one dimensional thought. 1 2
