Coronavirus Death Toll Estimation USA

Well if you google pneumonia deaths 2020 it kind of changes the whole game. 2x the normal yearly average and we're only half way through the year.

Going to go with a 250k.

500k if you factor in the abnormally high amount of pneumonia deaths as potentially being misreported to keep Covid-19 death numbers down.

I don't have to do ???. Your idiotic links are worthless.

How can you live in LA and suck at Price is Right, Rooks clearly bid 250k.

Didn't think so.

In order to to think you have to have a thought. Did that happen for you?

So you think over a million by the end of the year?

Considering the midwest hasn't been saturated yet, and the amount of people that are not listening to orders to stay at home, I'm going to estimate that we'll see 1 million (queue Doctor Evil).

18 years in law enforcement, I have zero faith in people. My estimate is a low-ball as well; I wouldn't be surprised to see 2~3 million deaths by Dec 31.

The studies, published in renowned scientific journals, produced astounding results and altered the course of research into the coronavirus pandemic.

One undercut President Donald Trump’s claim that certain antimalarial drugs cure COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, concluding that the medications in fact were dangerous to patients. The other found that some blood pressure drugs did not increase the risk of COVID-19 and might even be protective.

Both studies were led by a professor at Harvard, and both depended on a huge international database of patient medical records that few experts had ever heard of.

But on Thursday, the studies were retracted by the scientific journals in which they had appeared, The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet, because the authors could not verify the data on which the results depended.

It can cause heart problems among seniors, which is why I think Trump was lying about taking it.

Remember when you clowns were hyperventilating and claiming tens of millions would die this year alone? Demanding that the whole world stay locked down in their dad’s basement with you because poopy pants scared of bad orange man virus. Lol those were the days. Now the desperate backpedaling and trying to pretend anyone takes you seriously.

Also aspirin has like 200 potential side effects and some are life-threatening.

200k extra deaths this year will be hit for sure, but probably not much more.

and a lot of other medications don't have potentially severe side effects?

Which is why there are clinical trials that take up to a year or more.

Why then and not now?

right but the anti malaria drug has been used for like 60+ years. Its well known what the potentially adverse effects are. Just because Trump had info provided to him and he says he's hopeful that the drug could work shouldn't spark and outcry along with the medical community immediately dismissing it's potential use. What makes it worse is that we get some studies being retracted that may have altered research into finding a vaccine or improving precautions against the disease. The medical research should go its course but it shouldn't be deluded by political bias of one party or another.

I think the biggest problem is going to be that public health policy has been politicized. A second shutdown won't be politically possible in red states and people move around.

***is going to be wild in July/August.
