Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The cartoon is because Governor Doctor Blackface didn't wear a mask when he visited Virginia Beach this weekend nor did he socially distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada, like the US, they are mostly private operations. During the current pandemic they were losing so many patients to the virus (and staff who would not return to work) that provinces requested military aid, which the federal government granted. Â It turns out the military has been shocked with what it has seen in the management of these facilities, and has been reporting the infractions and conditions to the federal government through chain of command: Â Â Though this is a provincial-jurisdiction, I hope the government manages to step in somehow. These are massive cash cows that over time have reduced service while increasing fees. Apparently the report was written on May 14th, but didn't get passed to the Province until the 24th.

mclumber1 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 According to data I found here, the mortality rate of COVID-19 in Nevada is about 4.9%. Maybe I did the math wrong? If not, that's pretty high.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Official "died of covid" numbers are going to be lower than the death toll, and that's fine. Â We always report the number of people who died in wartime as dead during that conflict if they die from disease or starvation. Take the US civil war for example. The commonly quoted death toll is ~600,000. More people died from disease than were killed in action, but we still count these deaths as due to the war.

AbsolutSurgen Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Toronto just released a map by neighbourhood of all COVID-19 cases. The hotspots are NOT in the downtown core, where the subway and the dense condos are. They are in the poor apartment buildings of Rexdale and North Scarborough.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't isolate so of course they are going to experience higher rates of infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generating reports from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm and https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D76;jsessionid=79613680F2D76D396E1F3B335F1CB3D6 Â Florida: 2018 Flu/Pnuemonia TOTAL deaths: 3091 2018 Feb-May Flu/Pneumonia deaths: 1181 2020 Feb-May Flu/Pneumonia deaths: 5549 Â Texas: 2018 Flu/Pnuemonia TOTAL deaths: 3516 2018 Feb-May Flu/Pneumonia deaths: 1229 2020 Feb-May Flu/Pneumonia deaths: 5046 Â So 4x to 5x higher than 2018 for the same time period. Â EDIT - US as a whole: Â US: 2018 Flu/Pnuemonia TOTAL deaths: 59120 2018 Feb-May Flu/Pneumonia deaths: 22908 2020 Feb-May Flu/Pneumonia deaths: 97676 Â The CDC is a bit behind in their reporting (they still have total US COVID-19 deaths at around 77k), but that would indicate that the real death count for the US is likely 170k+.
