Cases in the US started rapidly rising, again, around June 20th. It takes a couple of weeks for deaths to catch up. We'll see how things go, but deaths may very well be 1000+, and then 2000+, per day relatively soon.
On Tuesday they hit 902.
My guesstimate: they will be close to 6k death/day in about 3 weeks, it could go up to 8k per day.
Well I don't think this virus is what's going to kill us off. Left unchecked it would still only wipe out a small percentage of the population. Economic damage would be larger.
Its if/when something even worse comes along that we really have to worry.
Not that it matters, we're going to make this planet inhospitable for us eventually, and civilization will mostly crumble as a result. So lets just enjoy the ride while it lasts!
Economic: totally agree
Virus: not sure what you meant by a small %. Are you talking about 1% globally?
Your conclusion: yes, let's enjoy it.
Cause you know, I have 2 blood disorders (bone marrow cancers) so I follow this virus a bit more than others.
COVID-19 causes 'hyperactivity' in blood-clotting cells
"Changes in blood platelets triggered by COVID-19 could contribute to the onset of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious complications in some patients who have the disease, according to scientists. The researchers found that inflammatory proteins produced during infection significantly alter the function of platelets, making them 'hyperactive' and more prone to form dangerous and potentially deadly blood clots"
Coronavirus autopsies: Small vessel blood clotting found in patients, pathologist says - CNN
"In the early stages of the pandemic, bedside clinicians noticed a lot of blood clotting "in lines and various large vessels," she said.
"What we saw at autopsy was sort of an extension of that," she said. "The clotting was not only in the large vessels but also in the smaller vessels."
"We found them in the heart and the kidneys and the liver and other organs"
And this one you probably heard about it already
Brain damage could be linked to Covid-19, scientists warn - CNN
"Experts at the University College London (UCL) were the latest to describe that Covid-19 could cause neurological complications including stroke, nerve damage, and potentially fatal brain inflammation --
even if the patients didn't show severe respiratory symptoms associated with the disease."
