But like my mom would say it only takes a few people to screw it up for everyone I love this age ( sarcasm ) of don't believe what you see or hear.

There's no defending the obvious and clearly seen. When what is seen or heard ( and on tape or audio ) one day and denied the next or spun seems to be a daily occurrence . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or clearly obvious Well a person can always find a website or post on social media that will say what they want to hear. That’s all the “proof” they need that they are right. IMO in this age just so much easier to find and vent any off the wall belief Edited May 3, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep hearing comparison numbers with other countries but that ignores the fact we have 330Mil compared to places with smaller populations. IOW pure numbers confuse the issue Keep hearing the death count as a pure number also, far more than any other statistic. Do you also believe that “ignores the fact we have 330Mil compared to places with smaller populations”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also believe that “ignores the fact we have 330Mil compared to places with smaller populations”? Haven’t been following death count as compared to other countries. If anything been checking death count as compared to total cases in US to see roughly the survival rate. Have been checking US total cases count to see what percentage of the population has been exposed. That’s taking for granted any future rounds will not affect those already infected. To answer the question better I try to find per capita (number per thousand people) for a better understanding of what is going on. For instance PA plans to open counties based on new cases in the last 14 days per 1000 people. Better guide IMO when you have Philly in one county and counties with more bear than people.

He really believed “his” news source was the only one telling the truth. Finally I asked him “ever think you feel that way because they are telling you what you WANT to believe”. He still spoke to me but never again said anything about his take on current events (wish I had said it sooner). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire country was in maximum "slow the spread" mode around that time. Are you contending that social distancing is causing the death rate to rise? I think it is just a coincidence.
