Mayer castigates liberals for Covid cluelessness

Darth Omar said:
During his appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, the 65-year-old “Real Time With Bill Maher” host cited a survey in the New York Times — “which is a liberal paper so they weren’t looking for this answer,” Fox News reported.

“The question was, ‘What do you think the chances are that you would have to go to the hospital if you got COVID?’ And Democrats thought that was, way higher than Republicans,” Maher said. “The answer is between 1 percent and 5 percent.”

He said 41 percent of Democrats thought it was over 50 percent, while 28 percent thought it was between 20 percent and 49 percent of patients ending up in the hospital.

“Seventy percent of Democrats thought it was way, way, way higher than it really was,” Maher added. “Liberal media has to take a little responsibility for that. For scaring the s— out of people.”

That’s a pretty remarkable survey.

The average lefty thinks there’s a 50/50 chance they’ll wind up in the hospital if they catch the Bat Lady’s designer bug. That’s funny but it’s not, really. People are going to be psychologically damaged by this. I wonder how many of them are kids or young people.

Some people should be ashamed of themselves.

Darth I will agree with you and Maher that the media can scare the shit out of people and need to be careful about how they can instill unnecessary fear in people. I can honestly say it is not intentional scaring! It's more to do with the way humans can get wrapped up into sensationalism- both in the media and in their audience.

But at the same time, you can't blame the media for the uptick in the pandemic- THEY ARE TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE- AND I CAN ASSURE YOU BILL MAHER REALIZES THIS TOO.

Let's just all keep it real! Try not to be sensationalized yourself OK?

Every liberal media outlet says the same thing. The % of those who die, or need hospitalization is very low. The sheer numbers of Republicans that are getting sick/hospitalized makes it appear that the numbers are higher, because they're jamming up the hospitals.

So will the left lambast Joe Biden for his inability to control this plague even with vaccines? :palm:

Those are raw numbers. Were you aware that only between 1-5% of Covid infections require hospitalization? I’ll do just the opposite of the media and put an even happier face on it: that 1-5% is skewed heavily towards the at risk population. IOW, an average healthy person probably has someone like a 0.5% risk of hospitalization.

Go out and enjoy yourself. Like people in Red States have been doing for months and months.

The real ratios.
age 0-4 = .3 %
5-17 .1 %
18-49 2.5 %
50 -64 7.4 %
65 -74 12,.2 %
75-84 15.8 %https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6915e3.htm
85 + 17.2 %

Who made a dipshit like you the thread police? Do you lambast everyone who says anything off topic, including yourself? Just stop. It's obvious you have severe mental and self awareness issues, as well as, being a smarmy hypocrite on steroids. :palm:

The Trumptards are trying to say the media is sensationalizing the pandemic- BUT YET THEY ARE TOTALLY SENSATIONALIZING THE PANDEMIC ITSELF IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!

Talk about the Pot calling the Kettle Black! They are losing the contest! They are just so tunnel-visioned they can't see it. BUT THEY WILL! It may take a couple of more elections!

LOL!
