Johns Hopkins: COVID Mortality Analyses
- Thread starter bone
- Start date
It's bigger than 911 because more people have died from Covid-19 and its been more costly than 911.
Also, just like 911...there will be casualties many years after 911 when underlying medical conditions develop.
Thus, just like 911...people will have a lot of difficulty to get help from their medical insurance policies regardless if they had been hospitalized or just asymptomatic.
Many years after 2020, we're going to be hearing some nasty stories from people that were just asymptomatic with barely any illness after being Covid-19 positive.
Lastly, more countries are obviously impacted by Covid-19 than 911 although I'm a little confused with the comparison of a terrorist act with a health/medical crisis.
We're on pace to exceed the number of deaths from the 1968 Flu Pandemic of 1 million people.

but incorrect one
virus is not pee but 10000 times smaller, molecular sized
to build correct analogy people have to wear protective suit looking like spaceman - as you seen in hospital
guess why your visitors was in spaceman suit and not only in mask
just because peace of material on face does not protect person who wear it and aslo do not prevent virus spray if this person is infected
so mask is not 'better than nothing', from anto-covid viewpoint it is the same that nothing, but from medical viewpoint it is worse than nothing
the reason is the mask collects fungi, bacteria and allergens - all this produces problems not related to covid but still very negative and dangerous
it is not my viewpoint, I'm not specialist, it is viewpoint of Vitalii Zverev, head professor of virology and immunology and one of the most respective virolog in the world, whom I trust more than all of the politicans and media
unfortunately I have no direct link in English to the source
The issue is not the Pee...its the visual representation why those around you would not want to be pee upon by you.
By the way, I'm a believer in medical face masks (not just any face mask sold on Amazon) and a believer about eye wear protection such as goggles...same as a any other scientist would wear when working in a lab with pathogens.
Your own germs that you breath into your mask is already in your body and exiting your body. Once your face mask is soaked in your own germs...put on a new mask...that's what the medical professionals do.
They do not continue reusing medical face masks that are not reusable because many harmless bacteria become more dangerous when oxygenized.
The fact is this, most people are Covid-19 and do not know it until they are tested especially young adults. That age group including children need to wear any type of face covering to prevent infecting others around them especially people they do not know that have an underlying medical condition that the other person may not know about them self.
Seriously, someone standing 10 feet away from you is less likely to receive the germs from your cough if you're wearing a simple face mask (better than nothing) that reduces the range of those microbes down to about 4 feet from a single cough.
Now, a sneeze is a lot more dangerous because it can reach others that are further away.
Just wear a mask to protect those around you...its better than wearing nothing.
I still remember the first day of day care for my kid. They gave all the parents a health / safety guide book that parents were required to read.
One of the guidelines involved not bringing your kid to day care if the kid is sick. That was easy to do. Your kid as a fever, running nose, coughing / sneezing a lot...a parent calls in sick and stays home from work with the kid.
That has always been the standard for all parent with kids.
Covid-19 is more insidious...you can be asymptomatic for many days and infect others without knowing you're the one infecting people.
Once again, wear a face mask when you're around others until a vaccine is developed / approved treatment / 60 - 80 % develop immunity. Currently, none of the 3 options have not occurred.

I've taught university level microbiology labs.
I went to the skin Dr for a yearly dermatology exam yesterday.
2 receptionists.
One had a mask but kept it pulled down around her neck, not over her mouth. And jabbered away. The other had a mask on but then pulled it down... when she turned her head and coughed...
I had a N95 mask, thank goodness. I have a better one than that, wish I'd worn it!
So, are you saying that a mask doesn't reduce the spread? So much actual evidence on the contrary. ANY barrier between the virus and host has some benefit.
I was illustrating that the "tough guy" attitude doesn't lead anywhere. Even more so that the male immune system is weaker than that of females.
I know quite a few medical professionals. They can testify first hand of the deaths. Some have quit because of the death rate at some hospitals. So your information is anecdotal, as is mine of course.
How many astronauts do you personally know? None? It's probably "the media" that told you that they actually exist.
I might be wrong but isn't highly diluted methanol safe to use as a sanitizer? I mean there's methanol in all alcoholic drinks, in small amounts of course.
