Now, our local media is using “positive” instead of “case”.
What if they vax you, then test you, then add you to the “positive” count.

It is just more contagious, they say. Not more deadly. So most people still have better than a 99% chance that they will survive, if they catch it. Why should anyone shut anything down.
You know this 99% survival rate is still bad news, right? America is huge!
from Forbes
there is something that has long bothered me throughout the pandemic. I decided to opine about the disappointing and telling narrative that goes something like this, “What’s the big deal and all the adjustments? There is a 99 percent survival rate so live your life”
I am certain that you have seen this in your social media feeds or heard a family member say it. It blows my mind that so many people do not understand the concept that small percentages operating on very large numbers is a lot of people. It is my understanding from experts that there is still some uncertainty about the exact mortality and infection rates of Covid-19. Let’s assume that it is 1% mortality rate on a 100% infection rate for the sake of argument. It’s not by the way, but a point is being made. The U.S. population was estimated at roughly 328.2 million people in 2019. If 1% of that population died, that would be over 3 million people. Heck, 0.1% of 328.2 million people is 328,000 people.
Are you ok with that number?
So imagine when the vaccines don’t work what will happen to China and India.....
The Magick only works if you show the sheep the knife beforehand? Definitely maybe....

It is not new, they had to kill minks because of this strain months ago.

Anyone that has odds that are not very good or are skert of the virus, should stay home.
