Covid was actually over 3000 deaths per day at one time. I am on preventative heart disease program, after my youngest brother died at 35 from a heart attack. I also go in for recommended cancer checks, prostrate, esophagus, and annual checkups with Dr. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and want as much time with them as I can get.Winterborn wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 6:45 pm So what does that make heart disease (2.1k a day) or cancer (1.6k a day).

No. Viral interference. COVID has been on an NDSU run among the respiratory illnesses, but fortunately in this division, Covids reign is over. Now the lesser programs get to win the championship of cold/flu season.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Not yet. There is no doubt that COVID-19 is continuing to cause a lot more damage than any other contagious respiratory disease. And it's not close.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 8:38 pmNo. Viral interference.

I think that the reason we are seeing influenza and RSV comebacks is because we have relaxed the COVID-19 mitigations. I think that, along with the fact that Omicron is more contagious, is also a factor in how MANY COVID-19 cases we have been seeing. If you compare this year to last year at this time, I think there is much less attention to social distancing, much less mask wearing, many more large gatherings, etc. Also in person school so that we have lots of little disease vectors running around.
Endemic is relative. If it gets to the point where we say COVID-19 surges like have been seeing in recent weeks are normal and we get them every year or even twice per year (that's what's been approximately happening with COVID-19 so far) then it will be endemic. But let's hope that's not the case because it is a much heavier disease burden than the seasonal flu, etc. Let's hope we don't get to a point where we have to accept 1,500 COVID-19 deaths per day as the "endemic" normal.
It's kind of like malaria is endemic in certain parts of the world. Yes, it's endemic because it's normal. But it's also very bad.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
With respect to how COVID-19 during this flu season might end up comparing to the seasonal flu. If you go to https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html you can see the CDC estimates for influenza deaths for the past 10 flu seasons going back to the 2010/2011 flu season. The highest point estimates for deaths among those 10 flu seasons is 61,000 for the 2017/2018 flu season. The highest upper limit of 95% confidence is 95,000; also for the 2017/2018 flu season.
The flu season is generally considered to be October through May. As of now, according to Worldometers, we have 159,734 counted COVID-19 deaths October 2021 through present. Not estimated. COUNTED. As I've noted before, the estimated number of deaths is higher. And we still have three months left to the 2021/2022 flu season.
Meanwhile, the current CDC estimate for influenza deaths during October 1, 2021 through January 15, 2022 is from 1,100 to 3,200 (see https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/pr ... imates.htm). BTW, if the overall proportions with respect to age groups is used to estimate, you'd estimate that there have been about 30,000 COVID-19 deaths among people under 65 so far this flu season.
No. This is not like the flu. And it's CERTAINLY not like the common cold. It's way worse. And people need to stop this crap of pretending that it's not. One of the worst things about this whole episode has been the problem with such a substantial proportion of people being in denial with respect to what the reality is. We're trying to minimize the damage and we've got a bunch of idiots that won't even accept the fact that it's a serious problem and do their part.

I don't know about the Black Lives matter thing. Also, if he was in the elevator first, they should have just waited until the elevator came back without him in it. But he's a jerk for being in an elevator without a mask.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 1:48 pm Elderly white Karens attack black man in elevator for not wearing a mask, while simultaneously saying ‘Black Lives Matter’.

The women are likely not masks police. They likely are people trying to protect themselves during the current surge and understand that the primary purpose of a mask is to prevent other people...including other people who are not showing symptoms but are infectious...from infecting others. They are in an enclosed, relatively low ventilation space and someone who is not wearing a mask to restrict whatever he is exhaling into that space.
Again: If you get into an elevator right now without a mask, you are either really ignorant or you are a jerk. Even if you are really confident that you are not infected and not a threat to transmit, other people don't know that. You're being an asshole. Or, again, you're really ignorant.

-Got into the elevator with the guy who was ALREADY there.
-Got into the guy’s personal space, FACING him, while YELLING at him, which is WORSE than than no mask at all, and standing there quietly not not directly facing him.
-AND at one point the woman pulled down her mask to yell at the guy.
So CLEARLY she isn’t trying to protect herself or others. She is just a mask covidian, Faucite Karen like you apparently are. The assholes in this case are the 2 women.
And I’ll continue to go maskless indoors, including elevators, unless I was in a place (rarely am) that mandated them indoors (and even them I might not be wearing one).
