I'm 99% certain that liberal news outlets are not going to mention this, so I will: The COVID-19 case death rate in the U.S. continues to drop. Two weeks ago, it was at 2.6%. Now, as of this morning, it is down to 2.3% (243K deaths/10.6 million cases). That means the average survival rate is up to 97.7%.
At one point during the lockdowns, the case death rate was at 5.67%. Gee, why is it that when states began to reopen and allowed people resume normal lives, the death rate almost immediately began to decrease? Maybe because forcing people to be cooped up at home for weeks is not the best way to deal with the virus?
Mr. Griffith is talking about the death rate of those who do get infected. The number dying each day in the United States is going up, not down. Around a month ago it was 750 a day. Now it is 1,100 a day and going up.
I am almost positive the lowering of the death rate of those who have gotten the virus is due to doctor’s improved knowledge of what treatment works best. They seem very good at spreading information to other doctors pretty fast.
And, Sweden's COVID-19 success story continues: While the U.S. has averaged about 800 deaths per day since August, Sweden has averaged about 4 deaths per day since August. If we adjust Sweden's numbers to our population size, that would equal about 130 deaths per day in Sweden, 82% lower than our average deaths per day.
In the early summer I thought Sweden was handling it well. Clearly, their strategy has not worked out.
But if Biden does take office, you can bet that the Democrats will continue to ignore fact and logic and will seek to impose their panic posture on the rest of us.
I am not panicked but damm concerned. In the U. S., the daily infection rate is getting up there, 400 people per million. Worst, the rate has been doubling every 21 days or less. If this keeps up for 4 more winter months, it will be over 10,000 people a day for every million people. Obviously, it won’t get that bad, I don’t think, because at some point people will start to hide from others if they must. And hopefully, the vaccine will start taking effect. But the worst months are ahead despite the increase in medical knowledge. Hopefully, people will start to get more careful, as they have in the past when the rates went up. But clearly, winter weather is having a very bad effect.
"Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' By the way, on November 4, you won't hear about it anymore,"
Our President Trump, October 24, 2020.
What an idiot. Does he listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci? Does he listen to any doctor? Has he never heard of the cold and flu season? Right now, all his attention seems to be devoted to attempting to become President for Life. What do elections matter if you can somehow get the courts (he’s dreaming) to overrule the voter count, Well, if successful, I guess he would have to follow Putin’s example and let Pence be the official President from 2025-2029 before resuming.
