People under the age of 35 are more likely to win the lottery than die of Covid-19.

The death count, from what I've read, typically spikes 5-10 weeks after the spike in positive tests. That being said, I'm just another of the couple hundred million armchair epidemiologists.

If I had to make a gamble, I would bet that a majority of us on here are over 35...

Let’s see if Louisiana will be an outlier to your claim deaths are not rising. I hope we are but if I were a numbers guy I would be siding with the national stats trend.

The funniest, and most ignorant, posts in this thread are those that hint at COVID-19 being a creation of the Democrats!!!! LMFAO. Does anyone really believe this is going away after the election? The Dems, MSNBC, CNN and the networks created a GLOBAL pandemic? And got all credible voices, including those within the Trump administration to buy in? I've got a bridge in Arizona to sell to anyone that truly believes that. Seriously, that's about as idiotic an argument as anyone can come up with.

Unreal of people love to spin the numbers, facts are cases go up lst, then hospitalizations, then deaths. This is a 3+ week lag in cases to deaths. Hospitals are filling, ventilator use is going up no doubt deaths will follow. Saints refunding season ticket holders, hold on sad days coming because of failure of most to take the virus seriously and social distance and wear mask. Dr. Fauci is ahead of the game and Trump is a cheerleader for his own power looking to the election not to the health of American Citizens.

Vaccine success

A graduate student from Maryland may be the first person successfully vaccinated against the coronavirus. David Rach took part in one of the first clinical trials run by Pfizer and German firm BioNTech at the University of Maryland.

The virus won’t go away after the election— just the scare mongering and obsessive news coverage—if Trump loses the election . The Dems didn’t create the virus, they, and their media monkey boys, just did what Dems always do— never let a crisis go to waste—the DNC mantra.

Fauci ahead of the game—hardly. He’s just a flip flopping liar. I was talking to my doctor two days ago about the pandemic—he said Fauci has become a national joke. Has Fauci ever had a patient? Or provide clinical services? Or has he mainly been a bureaucratic desk jockey?

Let’s see if Louisiana will be an outlier to your claim deaths are not rising. I hope we are but if I were a numbers guy I would be siding with the national stats trend.

The NY Times graph is just more scare mongering. The deaths spiked very soon after the initial cases, not so now. Cases are rising because of foolish young bar hoppers, beach goers and rioters, but they aren’t dying at the rate of the old folks, and won’t. We have record cases and the deaths have hardly moved. How about the NY Times graphing the rate of crime, shootings and murders in Dem led cities and states—now that’s something that is climbing, even here in Colorado where murders and violent crime is up 400%—more Obama-era silence from the media.

The governor has also called a 2:30 p.m. news conference for a "very important announcement," according to spokesperson.

Back to Phase 1????

Remember even with trials go in stages and will take 6 months to a year for approval, than Production to meet world needs takes time. Still around the beginning of 2021 for vaccine to be readily available!!!

How about the lies continuously and endlessly fed to us by the President? How do you know he's lying? His lips are moving.

Here's a SAD story about someone who didn't believe in masks, didn't believe in social distancing, was a combat veteran with two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, no pre-existing conditions, yet died at age 37 just a few days after testing positive.
