It means people are taking precautions and not ending up in the ER.
No problem dude, I'm only copying what I'm reading so no hassle at all. Looks like a mountain peak to crest with Winter in the way, then a nice easy down hill from there with vaccine rollout into spring and 2021
Hope you're feeling okay, and thanks for the update, good to hear your local medical facilities are doing well
You're gonna laugh, but it was bad weed from a friend. Good people, had some extra pot and gave it to me for free. I thought they got it from a dispensary, turns out they got it from a friend. The ER docs said it either probably had something synthetic in it as the urinalysis came back negative aside from cannabis, or it was just really strong shit. Ive been having problems sleeping and my schedule has been all out of whack. Smoked in the morning and next thing you know my heart rate spiked to 170, my BP was 185/104, I couldn't form sentences without stuttering over a single word for several seconds and I was shaking / shivering so bad my muscles were sore. Scared the living hell out of me, I couldn't think straight on top of it all. I wasn't high, I just had this feeling of terror come over me. Never called an ambulance for myself in my life. Needless to say, I'm not smoking anymore, I'll figure something else out. Just like tequila, you love it until you have that one night with it.
It really is. I just find it so odd man, what im being told does not reflect the reality around me.
Thanks man. Hopefully this is my last visit to the ER for a while, for myself or family. It's been one hell of a year.Hope you're feeling okay, and thanks for the update, good to hear your local medical facilities are doing well
Lol... yeah... news flash... people die everyday, they die of cancer, car accents, pedestrian accident, all kinds of stuff. People die, its what we do. According to your logic, we should outlaw food, because it contributes to heart disease. When are people going to understand, it is no different than cancer or heart disease... it is a FUCKING DISEASE\VIRUS. COVID19 is an excuse for power, it is a FUCKING VIRUS... you can't reason with it.
Of the people who died due to covid19 this year... how many do you think would have died from cancer or heart disease this year, if covid19 was not here, smarty pants. You FUCKING don't know, because it is a disease, not a nuke, not a war, not a crack OD.
Data are for the U.S.
- Death rate: 867.8 deaths per 100,000 population
- Number of deaths: 2,839,205
- Life expectancy: 78.7 years
- Infant Mortality rate: 5.66 deaths per 1,000 live births
Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
- Heart disease: 655,381
- Cancer: 599,274
- Accidents (unintentional injuries): 167,127
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 159,486
- Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 147,810
- Alzheimer’s disease: 122,019
- Diabetes: 84,946
- Influenza and Pneumonia: 59,120
- Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 51,386
- Intentional self-harm (suicide): 48,344
We all deal with it every day... the front lines deal with a lot of things, like, you know car accidents. Normal people do not have a choice because one side is ramming it down the throats of the other... that is why this virus is so bad, not only the death, but the distrust between family and friends it sows. As bad as it is it is still not worse than cancer or heart disease... for some reason you choose to accept those problems.
I am not sure where you get the flat earth crap... there are people who worship trees... and I am pretty sure there is a scientist in the group. So you are interested in philosophy huh, please explain how you know you actually exist (flesh and blood)? Are you crazy because you think you exist? I don't know... that is for you to tell us.

Germany Covid numbers seem to plateau but are still relativly high:
- partial lockdown gets extended till christmas
- meaning that mask should be worn also in front of businesses and parking lots
- private gatherings are limited to 5 people. (excluding kids)
- there should be no more than 1 person per 20 m² (when the business is larger than 800m² )
till 800 m² its 1 person per 10 m².
- restaurant and other leisure business are closed (or limited takeaway orders)
- public firework will be prohibited on crowded places(its allowed to fire firework yourself on new year)
- financial help gets extended
cases per 100000:
to me it looks like most new cases seem to be related to border traffic. Especially france and italy? (why is always you two guys? ^^).
But also population density:

It’s now 3 days of no new cases, no deaths from Covid, and no active Covid in Victoria. We’re testing waste water to watch for anything that hasn’t been detected because people are asymptomatic.
Retail has reopened, small business is opening up again, and interstate travel is recommencing.

I thought this would happen to, I think it is unfair on other religions
I think about a month into 2021 is when we'll now if it was just hypocrisy or a tragedy of mass proportions in waiting.
Time will tell, potentially those who sacrificed their festivals were saved from a worst fate...?

None of that is contagious.
No, its been a great filtering mechanism for who I choose to have around me based off IQ.
Why is it just because you dont know something it must mean nobody else knows?
There is an expected mortality rate we see on any average day/year as a result of all the conditions you listed. Based upon this data set, if we see a big spike in deaths that do not match the expected data set, and there happens to be a epidemic raging, we have a term for it, which is "mortality displacement".
All things being the same, we know to expect a certain number of people do die from all the issues you mentioned every day of the year.
We can plot a bunch of previous years, then compare it to 2020.
Pink is 2020.

Im glad to hear you are ok, that must have been some awesome weed! But maybe this is what you need to get you off the devils lettuce!
Just because the health services in your particular area are not having issues does not mean all surrounding areas as the same. A friend of mine is a nurse in Toronto, they are setting up field hospitals in anticipations of more patients.
The story last week from the nurse in SD? How patients are insisting the virus is fake right and only stop babbling about conspiracies once they are intubated?
'It's not real': In South Dakota, which has shunned masks and other COVID rules, some people die in denial, nurse says
Jodi Doering,\u00a0a South Dakota nurse, gained national attention for her account of working on the front lines in a state with high rates of COVID-19.

Now that is interesting, Glorious Leader - I was looking at the UK deaths over average graph and can see the first wave with it's vast mountain of deaths all at once, then nothing for a bit, and the second wave now building:
My question for anyone saying those who died were likely those with existing health issues and the elderly who "were going to die soon anyway" is:
Where is the valley compared to that mountain from the first wave to offset it? If they were going to die later in the year, exactly where in the above graph is the bit where all those deaths that happened early didn't happen later? It's 73,000 excess deaths and counting in the UK... If it were indeed the case that it was mainly people who were going to die soon, should the above graph not look like the below, where those early deaths are accounted for:
Because 2020 hardly had any dip below the expected 5 year average. I'd like to ask those who believe the victims "would have died soon anyway", when "soon?" is meant to be? By the looks of the graph for those who died early in April to May, "soon" wasn't in 2020... So, next year maybe? If it's the year after that, that's getting on to be the last three years taken off someones life... Three years is a lot of living, that's too long to be considered "soon" anymore, isn't it...? Is five years still considered "soon"? Ten perhaps? And how many years robbed off the end of tens of thousands of lives is considered too many to no longer be able to justify protesting and refusing mandatory masks or a month long Lockdown to get cases under control?

It is a good question and one that was floated at the start as the Covid-19 virus seemed to mostly target the old and frail. I would say soon would need to be in a years time and even that is pushing it a bit. Anything beyond that and it becomes to broad to truly qualify. As for the valley it has not been realized (would be careful to make sure that you take the Covid-19 deaths out of total deaths when comparing it against previous years avg to see if there is any drop as you want to see if there is any impact on those who would have died this year from the baseline causes) Personally I would be surprised if there was not a drop in the standard causes of death even if you remove accidental causes from the yearly totals (due to reduced movement and work, would also remove the increase from drug overdose due to stresses and boredom). But I would be surprised if the drop in 2021 was even half the deaths to Covid-19 in 2020 as those over 60 are disproportionately impacted its not unexpected for them to still have years left normally.
