E3D Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, N.E. Brigand said: The official COVID19 death toll in China right now is 4,632. And that's after they bumped the total by about 1,500 (i.e, 50%) a few days ago. But it's pretty widely believed that the actual death toll in China is much higher. For example, there have been articles in a number of media outlets reporting on the number of cremations believed to have taken place in greater Wuhan during the outbreak. The highest figure I've seen estimated for the true number of deaths in China is 40,000. That's nearly ten times what China is now reporting. You believe these numbers from the Communist country?

More than a month ago I read comments by a researcher in this field noting that, until now, no one would fund their research. lost in deep space.

Your take is so narrow minded and leaving out people who have lost it all for you and others here smiling and acting like #### is normal to work from home. I've lost it all business and human life. Yet you make jokes. losers. You want others choices to effect you and you smile and think its all good. Edited April 21, 2020 by E3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My zip consists of 2 smaller towns (total pop 9600 and change) and has 52 cases. Something “down there” shriveled when I read that.... double the state and well over double the National number of cases per thousand. 🤯 About 1/3 of my counties cases are in nursing homes (patients and staff) and have 3 nursing homes within a 10 minute walk of my house so that might be part of it. 😷 bleep it. 😷 Edit: just found an article that says one of the nearby nursing homes has “multiple cases” with staff and residents. Place was a crap hole and was sold. Still running under a provisional license which means they’re not 100% fixed yet.

Uh, I specifically said that I don't believe the official Chinese numbers. They're claiming 4,500. I said that nobody believes that, and that estimates by others put the real Chinese total as high as 40,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily find video of protesters complaining that the shut down has prevented them from going to the salon. I didn't make that up. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Although my personal favorite might be the complaint by the organizer of the Nashville protest: "I hate having to get two iced teas in the drive-thru". Because restaurants aren't giving free refills right now, you see. Edited April 21, 2020 by N.E. Brigand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry for your loss, whatever it may be. Because of this pandemic, the small business I work for laid off more than 30 full-time and 70 part-time people. I had to make some of those calls, in some cases to people who'd been there for decades.. In order not to have to lay off even more, I put in two very long weeks preparing the documentation needed to secure one of the new government payroll loans. And then one of my coworkers, who wasn't even 40 years old, died in the past two weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
