24 hour quick poll on kdub's death total

[sys]

Remember when Kazz Dub said he didn't think we'd have 10k deaths?

I’d set the over/under at maybe 10,000 US deaths by the end of 2020...Basically a mild flu season. In fact, some of these deaths will likely overlap potential flu deaths.
...
You want to talk about “exponential growth”? Look at the panic emanating from government agencies. We’ve now closed all schools in Kansas for the rest of the semester. On what rational basis?

While the numbers and this thread provide further evidence that KSUW is an out of touch, piece of crap, disgraceful human being. I don’t want to lose sight that while these are numbers, each +1 emotional effects someone. KSUW and others like him have contributed to the grieve of each individual family.

how's your sister doing, tbt?

how's your sister doing, tbt?

Fully recovered. Tested negative(I may have partially lied about having retesting numbers in another thread). Is now volunteering to help others get food who can’t leave their homes.

[sys]

that's great.  happy for you.

just 7392 as we close the books on 4/3/2020.  anyone who had before the 5th looks to be out of luck.

Do these numbers get updated real time or the day after?

kaz dub and dax are wrong about literally everything.  You could make money off hammering the opposite of their thoughts.

I just wonder if they say this dumb ass crap at work then have to go back to work and their bosses are like "yeah, that guy deserves a raise"

I think what boggles the mind more is bookie pimp saying 12,000 swine flu deaths was insurmountable as we continue to lose >1000 people a day.

To be fair, when he made this post the government officials in NY also thought it was a mild flu as they didn’t issue a stay at home order until 4 days later and they’re the primary driver behind this count.

[Rage Against the McKee]

He was also making that post as an argument that this was a mild flu and that nobody anywhere actually needs to stay home.

He cruises off to epoch times to find a talking point.

They are both rough ridin' idiots.

i'm getting the number off of worldometers.  it gets updated until like 8 or 9 pm pacific time and it does change throughout the day, but i have no idea how much lag there is from when someone dies to when it shows up there.

[sys]

tomorrow is sunday and it has seemed in the past like some numbers (not sure on deaths) get underreported on sundays, so if anyone took that into consideration in their answer, congratulations to them.

[sys]

maybe i remembered wrong on when the worldometer numbers roll over.  at any rate, they appear to have already closed the door on 4/4 with the us at 8452.  i'll get a total at midnight cst for official goEMAW use, but it looks to be touch and go on getting to 10k tomorrow.  if there's any delayed reporting due to the weekend at all, probably not going to hit the mark.

[sys]

officially 8454 at the end of 4/4.

[sys]

johns hopkins has it at 8499.  if either site gets to 10k tomorrow (cst), i'll count it.

With the CDC telling hospitals to claim ALL deaths as COVID-19, how does that play into this "statistic"?  Asking for a friend.

The sources cited in that link suggest these are flu deaths, which I certainly hope would go down based on drastic measures of slowing the spread of viruses.

Well, that AND the fact that virtually ALL deaths are now being designated as COVID-19 deaths per the CDC even if only "assumed".   

Interestingly, we are down 15k per week flu deaths and only 9,420 total COVID-19 deaths.  So, if we assume this quarantine has been going on for 3 weeks now, then we are plus 35K lives and this "pandemic" has been a real lifesaver in the bigger scheme of things.

Maybe you socialist MF'ers are right... We should never go back to work and just let the government send out checks forever.

Link to the "we are down 15k flu deaths per week" claim?

crap, I dunno...  I thought it was "all deaths".

castastrophe claimed its just flu deaths per the links in the infographic above.

Either way, this pandemic has saved a crap ton of lives, amirite?

i think they are talking about both a link bp left in the coronavirus thread and the graphic here and mixing them up a bit.  didn't open the link, so not positive.
