COVID-19 Response: An issue that shouldn't be at all political....yet here we are

[Scoots]

is that different from just regular weather?
because, either way, unless I'm outdoors, it doesn't much matter about the weather

Only if you have functional HVAC. If your HVAC is down and it's 112F outside and 99% humidity ... you might die in flagrante.

The original context from the OP was that the majority of the elderly that are dying are Trump supporters

Yes, I am fully aware what OP's original context was. However, I am not the OP so I don't know why you keep bringing him up when addressing me.

There was link to voting by age and race in my post, it was the stats of over 65 white voters for Trump was 53% and about 43%-46% for those making less than 50k a year.

If you are referring to this link, it only shows the individual stats for white voters for Trump (57%) and 65 & over voters for Trump (52%). Contrary to what you claim, there is no data shown for white voters 65 & over. If I missed something and/or you are referring to a different link, please straighten me out.

So is 53% considered much more likely? Either way, neither the OP or you have done anything but assumptions

No, 53% is not what I would consider to be "much more likely". However, the web page you are referring to does not show this data you are claiming it does. Said web page does link to another page that shows the figure for whites 65 & over that voted for Trump at 58%.

Furthermore, the poll we are both referencing is a very small sample size of 24,537 people who voted for president. That is less than 0.02% of all the people that voted for president in 2016, making it far from a comprehensive look at things. I'd still feel safe in assuming that if someone is both white and elderly, they are more likely to be voting for Donald Trump.

The white elderly are dying at a significantly (-12.5% to -32%) lower rate than minorities as shown on pages 4,5 and 6 of my other reply reply.

Of course they are. However, there are still more white people dying from COVID-19 in this country than there are minorities dying from it (as shown in the same link you provided).

I like how everyone keeps bringing that up as some "gotcha" moment when it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone paying attention and doesn't really change a thing.

[Lil Rhody]

Ya you totally saw my white lettered message at the end that says gotcha





Just saying my head's spinning. But hey why be honest and say I don't know **** because I'm no expert.




Now if this was setting up CMMs and writing programs and inspection I'll moped the ****ing floor with these experts

There’s conflicting feelings so that’s not surprising. Board of Ed and child psychologists in many areas are asserting the importance of getting kids back to socializing and structured learning, never mind the poor kids who lose all access and support with schools.

At the same time some schools just don’t have enough teachers and resources to open with adhering to safety guidelines.

It’s a big mess.

They've been cooking the numbers the whole time. Why do you think ****ing New Jersey had such high numbers?

on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death

What a shock you believe the data isn't real.

Next thing you're going to tell me that people who "die" from gunshots would not have suffered the massive bleeding they died from if the bullet hadn't pierced their body.

Most people who get aids don’t die from aids, but other complications from the virus.

It comes down to the fact that its okay because most of the people who died when contracting COVID were old or had co-morbidities. That's basically what it constantly comes back to. Its apparently ludicrous to say someone died of COVID when they also had lung cancer or when they also had heart disease, meanwhile in many cases COVID expedited those deaths.

We live in a world where everyday people can tell you about a disease because they did a couple of minutes research on webMD, everything in the media is an over-exaggeration or a lie, if you are wrong about one aspect of a disease you're wrong about the entirety of the disease, etc.

What I dont understand is that in the more significant cases of COVID, there are life threatening symptoms. Things like blood clots, heart issues, respiratory failure, potentially deadly elevated body temperatures, etc. Its not like this is the common cold. People can easily die from those symptoms irrespective of whether or not they have a co-morbidity. We don't argue when someone with lung cancer catches pneumonia and dies from that but if COVID is a contributing factor to death its a lie? Okay, sure.
