Maximum Carnage Week Game Thread

This has been my general view. I've know few who have got it, all saying was like a cold or the flu except one 65 year old diabetic who was hospitalized but recovered. This isn't like every third house on the street is flying a white flag of contamination and they are burying bodies in trenches.

SO I HAD COVID FOR CHRISTMAS. It wasn’t all that bad — more or less like a medium-bad cold, with a bit of muscle aching and a few days of lost smell. I’m better now and well past the isolation period. I’m lucky it wasn’t worse, but not that lucky. Most people I know who have had it had a similar experience. Many thought it was allergies. (It does, for some reason, seem to be milder in general in the East Tennessee area, according to some doc friends. Maybe it’s our killer pollen.)

Anyway, it occurred to me that we may see the reverse of the AIDS education process. Back then, people didn’t take the disease seriously in general until someone they knew — not necessarily very well, but in their circle of acquaintances — got it. I wonder if widespread experience of not-very-serious coronavirus infections might have the opposite effect. It seems less scary than it did in March. Yes, people die of it, but not the 5-6% we feared then, and in most people it’s pretty mild.

The latest CDC weekly coronavirus numbers lists 294,884 deaths due to coronavirus.

10,874 deaths from intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and “other adverse events.”
11,554 are due to Alzheimer’s disease.
47,351 due to Diabetes
33,367 heart attacks
14,350 cancer patients

For months doctors and investigative journalists have wondered why state coronavirus death counts include motorcycle accidents, homicides, birth defects, gunshot wounds and thousands of intentional injuries and poisonings to the US Coronavirus death totals.

And– In Singapore and other nations, the medical experts follow the World Health Organization guidelines and DO NOT INCLUDE non-pneumonia coronavirus fatalities in their death counts.

So, of course, their numbers are much lower than in the US.
