Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

I saw part of a video on the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.

In a one/two year period, it killed more Americans than were killed in the combined total of WWI, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. And that was at 1918 population.

Luckily the wife and I have been stocking up on and taking elderberry and vitamin c for several months now. Ours was more due to the nasty flu season but we've still been taking it, same with the kids.

The deaths have all seemed to have other medical complications which then could not cope with the virus, in an older age range. While the death rate does not seem that high at the moment, if you looked at the death rate solely in people who have had the virus and age over say 60+, then I think that might be a bit more alarming. My wife and I care/support for her mother who has been battling C . Our thinking is as the virus spreads more we will quarantine her for a few months until summer kicks in an it dies down for the season. Hopefully after that there would be health options to pursue. As far as myself, wife an kids go, all healthy and robust, and not really overly worried about the virus for our sakes, at least at this stage.

Crazy times we live in no doubt, do believe this was made to happen. Whether for their own gain, trial run on people, or just to lower their population. All seems too convenient, and i ain't no tinfoil hat person either. I believe medicine will be available at some point to battle this, if it ain't aleady but withdrawn, but at what cost of lives by then

I hope I'm healthy enough to survive the infection and see how this thing plays out.

I heard milsurp prices would be going down afterwards so there's that to look forward to...

Why not? I guess now is the time to lose weight, eat healthier, take vitamins, and blah blah blah......If I don't survive, maybe God had a reason.

Somebody please explain to me why the death rate percentage is based on how many have contracted to virus instead of on how many have recovered from the virus.

Currently
17,496 have the virus
362 have died
536 have recovered

How is this a 2-3 % death toll ?

It’s simple trigonometry... Factor in the 2 week incubation and you calculate the Delta now and projected in a linear fashion..

You can break it with a dragons decoder wheel in a box of cap n’ crunch
