    I can't believe it. Too "politically correct"... wreaks of the agenda/narrative of the far right...

    He's the one who said it!

    But no. I'm mostly concerned that people are dying, and that many people I encounter in supermarkets/online/whilst waiting for my take-out order are only marginally concerned, do not wear masks, aren't social distancing, possibly don't wash their hands for 20 seconds (no I'm not the hand-washing police... lol), among other things. Lots of stuff. Mostly stuff I can't control.

    I do care, VG. It's not only about "the right". What I'm saying there though isn't false. Trump's excuse for defunding a major asset makes no sense and is disgraceful.

    Before this began every week in NYC local authorities would discover 20-30 dead bodies in apartment buildings, since COVID-19 they’ve discovered an average of 2000


    How many died of COVID-19 no one knows for sure

    The wildlife park we go to around here has a petting zoo. Inside is a section with gerbils. My wife thought they were cute until a keeper told her why they're there.

    Where do you get 20 to 30 from?

    Death rate is usually around 0.8% a year, city of 11 million, that's 88,000

    1692 a week

    So either only 2% of them die at home where most people spend most of their time, or 30 is way off


    ..... and 1/3 of those Covid deaths aren't Covid deaths

    People can care about multiple issues and the more people, the more diversity on issues too. This is actually good.

    Should we really all be busy with one thing? Imagine if we were all as busy with it in the same way as you :p
    (Of course if too many forummers would be overly busy with the corona crisis you would likely go the other way around and point the same thing out that i am now...)

    People die at home all the time in NYC

    The 20-30 bodies are those bodies that someone accidentally stumbled upon or a neighbor calls the police
    because of a strange odor coming from the next unit over. That number has jumped up substantially.

    I would like the media jabbing to get more precise. Far from all media is the same. We're talking international here after all! So in this post its clear the american media is adressed:

    I'm now wondering: is the statistic info lacking due to the healthcare system or due to the media?

    Did you know virologists and epidemiologists are not experts in their respective fields anymore because VG interpreted the media wrong and they're not experts on covid19?

    Nobody will ever know the true number of covid-19 deaths in the US... But it will be much higher than "reported numbers"
