Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

Radio Free Cafe checking in on my comrades here in the Faculty Lounge ...

Same thing happened with the 1968-1969 Hong Kong Flu (or I guess the "Lyndon Johnson Flu", using the preferred verbiage of the Lounge?), when over 100,000 US citizens died out of a total population of 200,000,000. "Thankfully" there had been a previous pandemic about a decade earlier, so there was still substantial immunity residing in the general US population.

Why didn't it register as such a big deal back then? The following article offers some insight:

Summary? Older and middle aged folks were tougher-minded, kids were virtually immune (as they are today), and the young adults were too stoned at Max Yasgur's farm to notice.

That's cute. Then why are we experiencing 500-750 Benghazis per day while the rest of the world is about hovering around 1% to .1% of that?

Dang new board software. For some reason it decided to quote the same piece of this post several times.

The article was interesting with it's late 60s nostalgia. That's all I'll grant you. Hong Kong flu, according to what the article said, killed 100,000 from 1968-1970. We've already lost 165,000 in 6 months. If it killed that many in 2+ years (as long as the HK flu appeared to circulate) then it would be be similarly deadly, given the population is about 65% larger now than it was 50 years ago. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it might kill a few hundred -- or a few hundred-THOUSAND -- more. And to pick a nit, I would like to know how a woman who is two years younger than I am (Renee Ward) can have such vivid recollection of Christmas in 1968. I was three. She would have been 1, and even if she was born on December 31 1966 she still would not be 2. There is no way she could possibly remember Christmas 1968. She might remember Christmas in 1970.

Not to mention that we've lost 160,000 and counting (not even including the wild undercounting) with moderate closure measures taken.


And yes. To say kids are "virtually immune" is a rather... wildly incorrect assessment.

What it's like to read your blathering and deflecting:

I used to like his rants about the Expos and a few other non-political things...but that was in the early 2000s.
 
So Ben Sasse is planning on sending a letter to the Big10 commissioners begging them to hold the football season.

Maybe he ought to try sending a letter to the Trump administration begging them to do something about the Covfefe-19 pandemic. Then maybe we could have football.

Hahahahahahahahahaha ... (coming up for breath) ... hahahahahahahahahaha ... (coming up for breath again) hahahahahahahahahaha ... (coming up for breath yet again) hahahahahahahahahaha ... (coming up for breath still yet again) hahahahahahahahahaha ...

Dr. Birx put this one to rest months ago. You do realize, medical facilitie$ have been incentivi$ed to code patient$ for COVID-19 due to premium rate$ for related treatment$, right???

Amazing the fictions some of you folks have convinced yourselves to believe.

The Easter Bunny will be by any time now with your happy pills ...

I've never heard of Chuck Murray, but I'm old enough to remember when Dennis Miller was funny.

Edit: oh, god, he's a poster who I put on Ignore so long ago I literally forgot he existed. I mean Christ at least I remember Flaggy.

Dump will just do an exec order to declare the big ten to play
 
I didn't know who Chuck Murray even was. Probably read a post or two over the years, but nothing that stood out enough to know his M.O. Thankfully it only took two posts to send him to the irrelevance of the universe known as "ignore poster," which is the one feature in this new upgrade that marginally improved. I will say this: While I am not hoping he actually gets coronavirus he is precisely the kind of person who when they get it and die I chuckle at the irony and don't really feel sorry for them.

The forum already looks better without those two posts of his.... sort of like taking out the trash. Smells better too.

I'm sorry, but this is just incredibly and dangerously inaccurate. I know I'm not going to convince you, but here are the facts. I know this because I work in this field, I work with my hospital's billing department and with the payors themselves.

Medicare (and only Medicare) pays a small premium on COVID treatment. No private payors do, to my knowledge (at least, none of them do here in MA). That premium is a pittance. Further, Medicare requires positive test results. So even if a hospital wanted to commit fraud (and Medicare is a mess but they will unleash holy hell on you if you commit obvious fraud like this), you still need that positive test. Even further, it is the doctors themselves that note diagnosis codes, and these doctors are not paid any of this tiny premium. Why on earth would Dr. Attending Physician risk his or her license so that the hospital can - maybe - get a tiny by extra on a small fraction of their patients? Most medical staff don't even know who the payor is for a given patient.

I know, I know. Your reading of slanted blogs is more valid than my direct knowledge. Shame on me.

You know that's total BS, right? There was fear that numbers were being inflated, as there was worry that there were not official COVID tests run on all deaths. But that also means there are a lot of COVID infections and deaths that never got tracked - I'm quite sure that happened in Northern Idaho back in Feb.

The connection to greed came from your worship, dumpy.

As of July, Dr Birx was more worried that community spread was being undercounted.

There are plenty of articles out there that disprove your accusation. Let alone the amount of actual care people are needing to survive.

But I do encourage you to the greatest extent to go out and hang out with like minded people. The more the merrier, and I suggest that you have your dumpy masterbation session inside a small building. Just put as many people in there as possible Go and worship your holyness. You clearly need it.

Look no further than the number of excess deaths across the country. Compare that to the number of COVID deaths. There are likely thousands and thousands of COVID deaths not labeled as such (patient died at home, no test was available, incompetence, whatever).
 
CM hadnt posted over here since forever that I saw. I think I even met him once at the Frozen Four. He was kind of an idiot when he posted but he loved his Expos. Never remember him going overboard but back then he would have been drowned out by the likes of Bobo, eaglebunny!!!!, HankWP, Ritt and NAPALM.
