burd Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The members of this board have always done a good job of avoiding politics, and I hope that continues. Political discussions are great, but it's better when there is a designated place for them. That's my political comment for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's gotten to the point where you can't have a talk about UND sports without also discussing politics......since politics is what is threatening to impact/cancel UND sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exhausting. Trump, Covid 19, masks, skewed hospital numbers, riots, statues, police, Redskins name, I can't keep up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 From the CDC: Quote Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 9.0% during week 25 to 5.9% during week 26, representing the tenth week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC. The percentage is currently at the epidemic threshold but will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks.

zonadub Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Covid will always be a part of life going forward in one shape or form. With the understanding that not everyone agrees, but if you look at how the increase in Covid death almost perfectly reflects the decrease in flu deaths, the way the CDC is counting Covid makes it look more pervasive than I believe it is. Why do they have to shove a q-tip into your brain through the back of your nose (I know I am exaggerating) when it is supposed to be so easily transmitted. Here is my political statement and then I will go into the penalty box... Will Covid (as a news item) go away November 4th? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman91 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The hospitalization data is striking and you can see a clear bottoming and deaths have started to tick back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. So, what you are saying is that the uptick in cases will ultimately result in an uptick in deaths. So, these people don't just die right away? They might be sick for awhile and then die? That makes it soooooo inconvenient for those trying to spin a narrative saying that deaths are going down. Darn you and your facts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different studies, vastly different methods and geographic areas. My takeaway is that even though NYC was hit very hard, only 20-25% have the antibodies and we don’t even know if that is good enough to ward off COVID-19 or its mutations. You do realize what the “novel” part of the coronavirus name means, right? New. And with any new disease there are going to be a lot of studies, and yes, some are going to contradict each other. That is how science works. Eventually you get to a place of better understanding and a set of best recommendations. Until then, the conservative path of caution should be the one taken. I’ve said before in this thread, I will be sending my daughter to school later this summer because COVID-19 doesn’t appear to be a danger to children and distance learning for early elementary kids is a cluster. But if new facts come to light I will have no hesitation in pulling her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, cases won’t have the same correlation due to testing rates and self selection bias of those getting tested. However, it appears that they can be used at a bulk level.
