    People who can't go to the hospital to get treated have a higher death rate. If it spreads too much that it overwhelms the hospital then people that wouldn't have fired before start dying. (Not enough ventilators, etc.) Thats the real key here.

    Again we don't know the death rate because numbers are inflated due to hospitals coding deaths as covid regardless of they are or not. Currently hospitals are not overwhelmed and other than NY at first their have been very few hospitals that are overwhelmed. Also, vents are in sufficient supply mainly due to three things. One less patients going on vents, two some dr. are now saying vents dint help , and three treatments are working and keeping them off vents. Over 4400 MS people have recovered already
    As far as more cases. More testing =more cases. Some symptomatic some asymptomatic. Look it's here and we have to understand that and it sucks but their is not going to be a cure. We have to start moving on.

    We are 2 months in. Scott county has an positive for over 1% of the county. So let's assume they means 10%. So to keep the curve "flat" we are suppose to stay locked up for another 18 months. Sure. It's not possible. There would be nothing to come out to. But maybe socialism will pay for it.... smdh...

    And why exactly can't they go to the hospital to get treated?

    It looks like deaths are actually being undercounted. 'Excess deaths,' or the number of deaths in excess of what is typical for this period of time, are going up pretty much everywhere at a higher number than the official COVID death count.

    I agree, though, that we can't lockdown forever. We just can't. The system can't support it, which is exactly why Sweden did what they're doing.

    And isn't there spare capacity in the hospitals now - according to previous (recent) post in this thread?

    Not flaming just help me understand what your saying. Reason I ask this is that the cares act is allowing non covid deaths to be classified as covid deaths without test. Also some states are back counting as far back as feb as total covid deaths. So a patient dies of heart attack or cancer they can and in some states have coded those as covid. Also people during this pandemic that die at home from stroke or other diseases they are classified as covid. This is all legal and hospitals get more money from Medicaid if patients are classified as covid

    Hospitals are not overrun with covid patients. No one is running out of ventilators. The majority of people with covid don't even go to the hospital. The virus sucks, it lingers, And it leaves you with a stupid cough. But it's not killing the entire world like some of you **** heads are assuming.

    I'm over it all. Like some have said, whatever people decide to do, I'm fine with it. This entire thing has been politicized on both sides, and the majority of Americans are sick of it.

    How many would we have lost with 2 months of social distancing? Apples to apples friend. Can't do that here. COVID is WAY more deadly than flu. However, death is becoming the only stat FoxNews cares about. Infections interrupt economic prosperity too. Sick families. Forced quarantine for weeks impacts businesses. We've seen what happens when meat processing plants get it. What happens when it runs its course through the oil supply chain? Energy production? Food supply chain? You think the economy works then? Death is not the only meaningful statistic here.

    Agree! Like Defiantdog, I had a mild case - self quarantined at home. It took me 45 days to get over my stupid cough!!

    I think there are a few groups:
    1. Ready to open... damn the consequences
    2. Ready to open bc we really have no choice
    3. Want to stay closed out of fear/concern
    4. Want to stay closed bc they're lazy and getting $600 federal and state unemployment on top of that.
    5. Want to stay closed to help Biden in November

    These tend to be the loudest groups.

    And if you look at the trend, we have not peaked yet. I was hopeful a couple weeks ago we may have hit the top of the curve, but we haven't. People in icu also spiked but ventilator patients are at least staying flat.
