Indiana, back to phase 1?

[Route 45]

I don't think that there's any argument that Covid is equally deadly across the age spectrum. It's obviously much more dangerous in older people. But ICU bed availability is ICU bed availability. At some point, it's a real problem for all of us, regardless of age. An overburdened health care system is going to affect much more than just Covid patients.

OK. Then what do you see as an applicable answer/response to this. And please do not include masks. It is widely proven not to be effective.

Back in the 60's we would have atomic bomb drills at my school. I think if we just all stay in and hide this will be very effective for Covid as well. Do it for Grandma

There is none in this country. The freedom to lick doorknobs prevails, because 'Murica.

I'll believe that masks are not at least somewhat effective when someone posts a video of themselves blowing out a candle while wearing one.

Japan, which has much greater population density than we do, hasn't been hit with the numbers that we are seeing.

Might be the masks they all wear. Might be the rice and sake. Who knows?

I remember those days.
Might explain some of may disdain for Communists, well that and a couple of hundred million people killed by their Communist governments

Japan in general has a better diet and a much lower obesity rate than the good ole US.

Same thing works for Covid.. Just hide under a table or your bed until the virus is gone if that's the way you want to live your life, It's MURICA and still your decision (for now).

Maybe low obese rate?

The State of Indiana has so far refused to provide average ages of hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths...but IMO much can be inferred from the data they will provide.

An IU Health study showed that way back on 29 April, the average age of COVID death in Indiana was 76.9 years old; there's no reason to think that has substantially changed as of today.

The State of Massachusetts provides the most comprehensive COVID data of any state in the country; their average age of hospitalization is 67 and average age of death is 80.

If this is a public pandemic than stats about it should be released to the public.

Sure, and as to deaths, they have been....since the beginning.

BTW, that duck and cover thing? People make fun of it, but much like COVID measures, it was (or would have been) effective in reducing injury and death (outside of the immediate blast area), but since we apparently won't accept anything other than 100% guarantees 100% of the time, we ridicule.

They are on the whole a lot healthier than we are. A lot. Far more disciplined at about everything.

Yup. My Doctor described who is actually at risk. And the chubby's among us are the main ones.
Diabetics the obese those in seriously poor health and north of 70 as the graphs posted above indicate.

We had atomic blast drills often in school. Our grade school was bomb shelter rated. It still stands and is in use. It will long outlive us.
We lined the walls out in the halls and assumed the position. No windows out there. Block and brick construction.

Or under the desks head down.

Did Japan shut down? Or did they power thru it?

Well they may not have skewed the numbers for political gain but they fared well enough. I truly believe if we saw the real numbers it would be less than what they are claiming. JMHO born of being abused by the MSM.

Believe it or not, when I was in lower elementary in the '70s, we had 1 or 2 such drills...but on retrospect, at that time, I think it was political and designed to scare us.

Being skinny has literally zero effect on infection rate.

Such a mystery.

In the early-mid 60's it was a big deal. Talked about in the media, ABC, NBC and CBS only back then. Also front page articles in all the papers that most people read back in the day. I can only imagine how crazy it would have been with today's social media and MSM. Probably on the same scale as Covid.

I think you should eat fish before licking doorknobs. They eat a lot of fish ya know
