Hello Everybody,

Which country will win the race to the bottom?
Will it be the USA, led by the orange clown?
Or will it be Sweden, led by nobody in charge?
Here are the mortality rates pertaining to coronavirus -

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality


Notice the very close contest between the US and Sweden -

Country | Confirmed Cases | Deaths | Case-Fatality | Deaths/100K Pop.
USA 6,396,551 191,766 3.0% 58.61
Sweden 86,194 5,843 6.8% 57.38

You read that right. Swedes are dying twice as fast as Americans.
It will not take long for Swedes to overcome the numbers shown above.
With that in mind, the editor of the Fidonews should take note to
mask up, and always wash his hands after touching his keyboard.

My bet is on the country that does not filter the stats:

It's the other way around. Sweden was leading USA for a long time, before the US caught up -- when they no longer could hide the true numbers. Dead people always count -- no matter how hard you try to hide them.

mask up, and always wash his hands after touching his keyboard.

No worries mate. Like most Swedes I am taking mask-on and social distancing very seriously. We don't need a Bunker Boy to tell us what to do, we knew from the start (in January) that this was serious business.

As the professionals say: we'll not know the true numbers for at least a year or two from now...

Are you and Lee the only two left alive in FidoNet (well, me too I suppose, I am browsing here)?

Or is everyone locked down, even from their keyboards?

Damn it's quiet - in the real world and in here.

Yes, it is. Almost entirely automated robot postings nowadays. Maybe it's time to call it quits, turn off the lights and go home?

Just about. Even in the politics echoes traffic is slow.

Hello Gerrit,

Damn it's quiet - in the real world and in here.

I'm pretty sure other virtual communities thrive as a consequence of lockdowns and distancing. Actually, I was hoping to see something like that
in FidoNet a few months ago when this all started. However, it didn't happen. Draw your own conclusions.

I expect the internet to die out within the next few years, if not
sooner. The pandemic, along with vaccines and innoculations, etc. will
take at least another year before anything approaching normal exists.
Colleges and universities have become the new hot spots, along with
other schools of learning. Many people here are no longer paying any
attention to whatever mandates are issued by governors or others.

Herd Immunity Threshhold. That is the de facto policy of the Trump administration. Do as little as possible to prevent people from getting
sick. Have covid parties (Trump rallies). Allow for football games with
lots of people (without wearing masks) in stands. Open restaurants and
let everybody dine on whatever they like indoors so they can at least
have a good meal before they die.

The forest fires raging out west will continue to march eastward,
and all the houses will be destroyed in the process.

After we lose about 70% of our population, we might have enough land
available for Russians to come over and build new houses. And that will
be good for business ...

Don't be so despair! ;-) It will end soon. Actually, SAR and SAR2(covid)
are similar viruses, and they live according the same rules. The only difference between them is the level of transmissibility (and SAR2 is
much less deadly). As the rezult SAR had developed on Earth in a much
smaller area and died itself, and all the vaccines against SAR appeared
to be useless waste of money.

In other words SAR2 is a scaled replica of SAR. It will die after people
in the area (Earth in the SAR2 case) become exposed to the virus for
necessary time. After that the epidemic ends.

Cheers! ;)

Bye, Lee!

Well, it is true we were saved by the Obamanation last time.
But this is the Trumpoverse, and everything is turning burnt orange.

The forest fire is giving America an orange glow. At some point there
will be nothing left to burn. And you know what that means. The virus
will then have no place to run, and no place to hide. The epidemic ends
and Donald Trump will posthumously be declared Savior of the World.

It depends on the methods they count covid deaths. I had already told
you here that if, in the last year, the current covid death counting
method would have been applied to the people who died just _WITH_ flu
virus we will see flu as the most awful epidemic. In other words, the
high numbers of covid deaths are artificial. WHO demands that every dead person should be considered killed by covid if the virus found in the
body. It is utterly wrong and misleading and makes unnecessary panic.

In short, in this year, enormous part of deaths caused by many other
deseases are artificially attributed to covid. It becomes a bugaboo in
this way. This statement can be checked easily -- for instance, if we
look the numbers of deaths of common (not covid) versions of pneumonia
we will see a very small number of them. It it a lie of the statistic.

Bye, Dale!

And by then, millions of people will have died from it. Many more will have lasting effects from the infection.

Nobody came up with a vaccine for the Spanish Flu.
And yet the human race survived.
The same is likely to happen with COVID=19.
We might be told about a vaccine.
That does not mean there is or will be one
that is safe and effective.

With the Spanish Flu, a person gets it,
24 hours later that person is dead.

With COVID-19, a person gets it,
three or four weeks later that person is dead.

Other than that ...

More accurate would be to say the person died of complications
due to COVID-19, rather than of COVID-19 itself.

More accurate would be to keep records of how many excessive deaths you have, compared to any other, normal year. That's what we do in Sweden.

Of course it means that we seem to have a lot of deaths, but at least we think we can contribute them properly.

As our chief expert said: we only have the true numbers many years away from now...
