Flattening the curve or just muddling on? : Comments

By Graham Young, published 22/4/2020

While they are still talking about 'flattening the curve' they appear to want to eliminate new infections before they start relaxing restrictions, and that's a confusing message.

Hi SR,

The US has currently 861,000 people tested positive for the Trump Virus, and - including some earlier mis-diagnosed - about fifty thousand deaths. More than the number killed in Vietnam.

The curve for new cases and for deaths may be flattening - maybe - but at a very high level - two thousand deaths each day, for god's sake - doesn't that mean anything to the Trump admirers (I first typed in a more descriptive word but Graham would have jumped on me) - so a million deaths is still possible by early November.

Many out in Trump's heartland, people who have never believed in the virus, it's all been a Chinese hoax (Hannity) or communist plot. Well, hello folks. Goodbye, folks.

How many cases really, across the US ? A few million ? With pathetic numbers being tested each day, who knows ?

Joe

Just rest Joe. Trump has no chance of matching the millions of slaughtered unborn babies each year by degenerates. Democrats also to busy trumping up impeachment charges and inviting people to Chinese new year to have any useful input. But don't let facts hinder your TDS and hatred.

Sorry Joe you are letting your dislike of Trump get the better of your reason. Less people have died this year than died in the same period last year. Same as the UK, so Corona is not a rampant killer. 320 million US citizens so these deaths are not as catastrophic as it might appear. Now the weather is warming up the deaths will recede just as with Flu. I am much more concerned that across the Western world we have allowed two bob political medico's to fool our idiot politicians to destroy our economies. When politicians cut Public Service salaries and their own salaries I will concede there is any sort of emergency. Before you get personal I am 73, take eight different tablets a day and lost my Mother to the 1968 Flu pandemic so I think I would be in more danger than the average Joe?

Quite right Joe lets see what happens with this virus. If a million people die in the US then Trump is in trouble. However if the number of people who die is less this year than last year, which is the case you would still not give Trump the time of day.
We should just agree to differ as I think Trump is the solution not the problem.

JBowyer,

You have to keep in mind that LOUDmouth is a sinophile and a communist and being in the pro-China camp he won't have anything good to say about the US experience with the Wuhan virus.

I was talking about Australia's economic outlook in the wake of the pandemic and as soon as I used the word 'Wuhan' he was down my throat like a crazed Chinese state public relations official.

Dear JBowyer,

“Less people have died this year than died in the same period last year. Same as the UK, so Corona is not a rampant killer.”

That is patently untrue.

This is the official UK Government report on all cases weekly mortality rates.

Please go down to figure 1 and then explain to me how on earth you can still believe what you have just put.

You are letting you cultish view of an incompetent thug of a president to cloud your view and it is disturbing. Please reassess.
