You don’t know that.

Articles like this help the ignorant and save their lives. The rates, for now, have simmered down because everyone is starting to do their part. Even the former deniers in those other special states. They know it’s a real thing because it’s not in Jersey anymore, it’s close to home now.

Actually we do, they've traced very few cases to airplane cabin spread and there have been known infected travelers such that they could follow up with contact tracing to check.

Seat backs, the fact that you're not facing or normally talking to other pax, the very robust cabin ventilation and filtration, plus the post-covid hygiene measures taken by airlines (and pax) go a very long way towards minimizing risk.

Apparently the way you get covid is by talking right in someone's face, preferably in a loud place where you have to project your voice, and even better if you're drunk and uninhibited. If you avoid that, odds are catching it drop off pretty fast.

Of the over 125000 contact traces from flights, there was only 3 probable transmissions.

Not so for COVID 19’s big brother SARS:

And while COVID appears to have less risk, it’s clearly a whole lot more than 1 in 40,000.

I took an on line analysis by one of the state’s Dept of Health. Older, but not that old. Couple of preexisting conditions (high blood pressure controlled by medication is one). Overall in good health. Careful risk taker. Wears a mask in public.

Results:

91% probability I will get COVID-19.

47% probability I will die from COVID-19.

Just about fell off my chair...laughing. There are crazy bad models out there.

Congratulations America! We did it!



A mere 50 days since we crossed the 150,000 deaths mark, we really put American grit on display as we powered through the 200,000 dead milestone. It takes a lot of super-spreader events to hit the 1,000 deaths per day average, and we didn't slow down for a minute. Motorcycle rallies making sure we had new massive outbreaks in the Upper Midwest. Political rallies that deny the existence of the outbreak. And even your local schools are doing their part to pretend there's no problem at all.

But wait, there's more! As the folks in Winterfell say, "Winter is coming!" Cold weather forces people inside and the prevalence of seasonal flu will be the 1 + 2 punch that will take us to the next level.
Can you say 400,000 dead by New Years' Day? Yes we can! Make America Dead Again!

WutFace is back...oh joy.

LOL.......

Dont forget about Grandma and Grandpa dying this year after catching Covid from little Johnny at Thanksgiving.

We are like pandas in this country, too stupid to screw to save our species. Wear a mask, keep the procedures in place, know we will have knuckleheads who want to buck science, and lets hope we can get to the new year with "only" 300,000 total deaths.
