This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

Wow, was this cut and paste from one of the other 5000 panic-inducing news articles out there, or is this entire thing bullshit? I mean, it’s almost word for word the same as all the other tripe out there. Either way, this repetitious bullshit (and lets be honest, most of it is bullshit) bores me, so now I shall ignore this thread too.

I know you can’t answer until a later date, but I am curious. What do you think is bullshit? People are dying, a lot of people? Some hospitals have diverted patients? It’s the same shit everyday, because, it’s the same shit everyday. What is the bullshit? Do you think that people aren’t dying? Do you think the numbers of people dying are bullshit? Have hospitals cancelled all their most profitable elective procedures, because they don’t want to make more money? It does feel like the news is having a field day with reporting all the worst case shit, but’s thats what they always do, right? 5 alarm fire in the Bronx, 10 car pileup on the turnpike, the news lives on fear and the grim reaper. If you are sick of hearing the same stuff, watch Netflix, no?

I can understand the repetitious part, who isn’t sick of this, but what‘s the bullshit?
 
This is interesting, especially given the amount of focus on increasing the supply of ventilators. (Also, please don’t confuse the source of the article with Fox News. This is from a local Fox affiliate.)

Some doctors moving away from ventilators for virus patients

NEW YORK (AP) — As health officials around the world push to get more ventilators to treat coronavirus patients, some doctors are moving away from using the breathing machines when they can. The reason: Some hospitals have reported unusually high death rates for coronavirus patients on...

I've added a tab which has a chart to visualize new cases by day by state.
The "less effected" states seem to have the attitude that this is a big city thing (my opinion)

Anyway, there is a dropdown in the bottom of the second tab. it doesn't work here but you can
go directly to the sheet to play

Almost all states going in the right direction, i.e. last 3 day ave lower than 5 day ave.
 
I still don't understand why gvernment is going into all out panic mode for something that has a 97% mild case rate with a very obvious extremely low infection rate. Completely absurd.
