We have always assigned an immediate cause of death. Quite a good sized number of us manage our high blood pressure with medication and can live for decades doing so. If one of us dies of Covid 19, the stat keepers will remark that he had an underlying condition: hypertension. How much false solace has been taken over these reports? In other words, this cuts both ways.PurpleThrobber said:
Depends on who the scorekeeper is.HHusky said:
That’s true of influenza too. It’s still apples to apples record keeping.PurpleThrobber said:
Yup. T's & P's on granny, btw. 90 is a damned good run.Doogles said:
My 90 year old Grandma caught a fever last week and passed in her sleep two days later. She lived a great life, but dementia and other health complications had her teetering for awhile.HHusky said:
The Coronavirus isn’t replacing the flu. We still have the flu also. A 100% increase in the number of seasonal, killer viruses isn’t the minor matter you appear to believe it is.Doogles said:
Nothings changed with me.HHusky said:
I have an ability to look at the numbers and see reality. It’s a recognition, not a “hope”. This isn’t quite the nothing burger or joke some of your pals said it was. I admit to some grim pleasure in seeing their hubris flung back in their faces.georgiaduck said:
I agree with the board you have a goulish hope the death rate hits 1,000 sooner rather than later,HHusky said:
So you agree with my math.georgiaduck said:
Yeah- COVID denier. Nailed me on that one. I don't think you're going to make detective.HHusky said:
I guess you Covid deniers are just better people.georgiaduck said:
Thanks for confirming what you've been hoping for all along.HHusky said:60% higher than yesterday.
So 300 deaths tomorrow and total deaths hit 1,000?
I’ll take the over.
Will the death total warrant the hysteria? If the numbers play out to just a bad flu season then absolutely not.
If at the end of this we're looking at massive fatalities outside the norm then take a lap hands raised.
Corona virus may very well be the closer to a lot of ailments, but saying these deaths are 100% in addition to is extremely naive.
It's not like the cause of death is allocated 85% old age/parts wore out, 10% complications from diabetes, 5% COVID-19 respiratory failure.....it's getting marked down as 100% COVID.
Right now, 5% COVID gets the W even though old age threw 8 2/3 innings of no-hit ball. -
NPR this morning had an in memoriam about Terrence McNally (who?), apparently dead of COVID this week

As a minor detail, they mentioned he'd survived lung cancer and had been using oxygen when receiving an award at the Tonys last year. -

I know what you've said O'Keefed. But we both know you are a liar. So were you lying then or are you lying now?HHusky said:
I know you know it’s true because you gave me shit about playing Hamlet with my 2004 vote. I don’t remember whether you explicitly used that metaphor, but that was the gist.SFGbob said:
He nailed you O'Keefed and there's no denying that you are a liar.HHusky said:

But year after year of being lied to by nearly every leftist I’ve encountered, I changed my mind a long time ago. Leftards lie and love to be lied to. They view conservatives as ignorant of the higher “truths” and evil – hence there exists no moral stigma to lying for the greater good. They will refuse to be honest – even on an anonymous board. Bubba and barry, the last two dem presidents both lied about supporting marriage as between a man and a woman. I knew they were lying, they knew they were lying and the MSM knew they were lying and were happy to keep it that way so they didn’t piss off the black and Hispanic vote.
The counselor when he first appeared claimed to be a conservative. A pretty standard leftard ploy. It’s either that or claim to be a true moderate. But from the beginning it seemed odd that the counselor supported no conservative policies but he did support almost every leftard policy that came down the pike. There is no phucking way he voted for Bush. The counselor will lie and distort anything he can get his hands on to promote the leftard agenda. Look at the Russia, Russia hoax. The counselor will still deny the most basic elements of that hoax. That to me is a rubber hits the road moment. Then on to Ukraine. The counselor tells us this was an impeachable offense. Ask him what high crime was committed and silence. However, he will happily pull the trigger and vote for a bought and paid for Joe Biden on both the Ukraine and Chicom front. Barry sent blankets and MREs to the Ukrainian border. Wouldn’t directly ship. Trump sends military weapons and gets impeached. There is no phucking way he voted for Bush when he would vote for a Soviet Union/Cuba symp like Bernie.
The counselor’s arguments – like all leftards are:
Play the race/bigot card;
Make a weak lame ass moral equivalency argument; or
Lie (hands up, don't shoot)
Anyway, I have mentioned my vote for W many times in the course of 16 years. Calling it a lie now says more about Gasbag, Race and Atl than it does about me. They are obviously beginning to question their own choices—a self examination that is plainly called for and long past due.
My testimony hasn’t changed. Were you just looking for a provocative sound bite?
