    A lot of the visceral impact of this virus depends on where you live.

    NY/NJ for example has a high density of unhealthy people. Negatives like poor air quality and dependency on mass transit accelerated Covid and contributed greatly to it’s impact.

    Then there is CO which aside from Denver there are far less negative factors.
    Out of Colorado’s 5.8 million 33,000 have tested positive (about half of one percent). 5,500 have been hospitalized. 1,500 deaths have been attributed to COVID-19.
    That is such a small percentage that using a sample of 3,830 people only ONE has died.

    The fucking media conveniently ignores the science of math.
    Accuracy has been replaced with exclusion, and spin has become an art form. The media just wants everyone to follow their biased agenda driven lead. Covid is all about gaining control of the majority by any means necessary. .. in this case fear is the standard issued sidearm.

    This is what kills me about all this. The Media/Government seem to want a one-size-fits-all approach to this, and that's CLEARLY not necessary. There's no way that any city in North Carolina needs to take measures appropriate to New York City, and likewise a place like Linwood, NC doesn't need to approach it like Charlotte should.

    The other question I have about it is the seeming desire to scare us over how many cases we're finding. The more we find, the closer we are to herd immunity, and if the death rate continues to fall while the cases rise that should be presented as very good news. Instead, the death rate is ignored and Roy Cooper implements more orders.

    If you go to the CDC website, it's easy to find the graph on new cases in the US. It's right there on page one. However, try and find a graph on new deaths in the US over time. It's just not there, and this is what it would look like if it was graphed.

    So, if this chart is wrong then what does the right chart look like? And if it's right, then why aren't we celebrating the obvious onset of herd immunity?

    Good stuff cyber. It’s reassuring when you hear others questioning instead of just blindly following. I feel really bad for the one out of 4,000, or one out of 1,000 in some areas. That one does need to see this as life or death, but the country should clearly not be shutdown. .. logic continues to be ignored. Politics has brought the circus to town and the clowns are in charge

    NC has 10.5 million people, so it looks like you have a 0.74% chance of getting Corona. If you do get it, you have a 1.84% chance of dying. So if you're a North Carolinean, your chances of dying from CV are roughly 1 in 7140. That's almost on par with your chances of being in a fatal car accident (1 in 7,600).

    Is that a good perspective?

    there it is.
    More simple math to illuminate what the left and their media puppets do not want us to see

    I can assure you that BOTH have been inflated. It was amusing that a day after that charge of “inflating cases and deaths” began the left jumped in with their counter.
    In predictable form nancy peloosi falsely claimed it was the other way around. They have really tried to make a living of accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of

    Just imagine how low the % would be if everyone were tested.
