I guess much depends on how well the hospitals hold out. Which from what they have been saying, they aren't doing too well right now. The last I heard, they were predicting around 500,000 dead by March. Again, depending on how the hospitals hold out, I'm thinking it could be higher. Because we are going to have to deal with what will probably be a Thanksgiving super spreader event. And with so many people being so stupid about the coronavirus, Christmas will probably be another super spreader event. Neither would I expect an economic shutdown from our lame duck president Trump. I also heard Biden say that he wouldn't impose an economic shutdown. And any vaccine is going to be like the cavalry that arrived too late. Even then from what they said on the news, only about 60% of Americans are even willing to take it. But as the death toll rises, that could change. I hear the Chinese have a curse. To people they don't like, they may say, "May you live in interesting times." Unfortunately, we are living in "interesting" times. And with human caused global warming, mass migrations, an ever increasing overpopulation and all the rest, they are likely to become far more "interesting." But there probably won't be anybody around to look back on them to find them interesting.
How High Will The Coronavirus Death Toll Go.
- Thread starter overall
- Start date
We are not getting hardly any information on how well the hospitals are stocked now, and we dont know if the Chinese and Indians will ship all of the supplies we need, so it is impossible to have an opinion on whether the hospitals will break down. Let's be very clear here, the information Embargo is a horrible sign as to Americas future.

Looks reasonable. As the wise man said, "Evolution in action is a good thing."
So things aren't looking good on that point. No matter how well they are or aren't socked. Also, Trump was supposed to have increased the manufacture of PPE here in the U.S. But as it turned out, it was mostly smoke and mirrors. Also, I think it was on 60 Minutes where they talked to a PPE manufacturer here in the U.S. The masks they made cost around $3.00 each. And they consisted of a flap of cloth with ear loop strings. The person doing the interview showed the PPE manufacturer what mask the Chinese made for around $.35 cents each looked like. It was cup shaped and had a rubber band that went behind your head to hold it firmly in place. It was superior in every way. What the fuck! Do we need to surrender to the Chinese to get something done right in this country?!
Plagues aren't evolution.

Well, if the Trumptards would all quit licking each other's asses- The virus would dry up and blow away!

Diseases evolve. You are free to believe the only diseases in existence are those God himself created 6000 years ago, but most intelligent, educated and sane adults know a virus can evolve.
Are you hallucinating? According to the news, death rates keep rising. As do infection rates. Right now we have around 1500 people dying each day from the coronavirus. Though it could be more.
Yeah. They apparently don't like watching the news. They just want to pretend the virus away like their lord Trump.

what information embargo? the one on fox or rush or breitbart that will not publish facts about covid and trump's incompetent response that has led to so many deaths and economic destruction?
You needed to be more clear. I thought you were talking about human evolution. Though the coronavirus doesn't really evolve either. It just mutates.

All living species either evolve or die out over time. A mutation is an evolutionary step. A good mutation allows it to thrive, a bad one allows it to die.
I am talking about the chances that an infected person will die has been going down, though I have seen so-called journalists claim the opposite, Mind Molding.....clearly trying to drive fear.
The collapse of journalism is one of our biggest problems, perhaps our biggest problem, it is hard so see how America could possible get better without rehabilitating journalism.
Ignore it. Do what you want. You are totally safe. For some reason, the press is lying to you. Why? I do not know but they are. I guess they get paid more if people die. So just trot around maskless and be free as a bird. You'll show that press how smart you are.
Well then. You're going to have to be more clear as to what this has to do with how high the coronavirus death toll will go.

You can't follow? Wow. Okay. Let me try to simplify: Death rates of a virus can be mapped over time. Given enough time and deaths, rates can be calculated for people of all ages and demographics. However, once a virus mutates, all bets are off. From what I've read, COVID-19 is relatively stable, but there is no such thing as a guarantee. Just an educated guess.
Hope that helped.
There have been a few new treatments for the coronavirus that have come along. Which are far from cures. But they're better than nothing. Though I haven't heard of any of them bring down the overall death rate. At least not by much. The death toll is still what it is. As for journalism, to a large degree it is just entertainment. As well as brainwashing. But journalism isn't the main problem. The main problem is the plutocratic death cult scumbags who run this country. Another problem is that from what I have seen, most people prefer to be lied to. There are even many people who will actually pay money to be lied to. You want America to get better? Basically, my avatar shows the only way that could ever happen.
