If you go back to some of my original comments on this thread, I have always said that you need to pay attention to the morbidity and mortality. Media and people who are trying to push a political narrative will ALWAYS focus on the amount of people who are testing positive. If we have a 10 fold increase in the amount of people who test positive but yet our morbidity and mortality is going down.....what does that tell you? We can always find outliers to any scenario, so make sure you are always looking at the big picture.

I have an employee who told me today about a friend who had to get the swab test for work........he came back positive but yet did not have any symptoms. I would still like to see some widespread accumulation and reporting of antibody testing data. There are plenty of places performing the testing, so the data is out there. Here is the data for the South Eastern Utah Health Department.

  • 44 total cases
  • 15 in Carbon County (14 recovered)
  • 9 in Emery County (8 recovered)
  • 20 in Grand County (15 recovered)
  • ZERO deaths
  • Approximately 4600 tests done (0.96% positive test rate)
  • Nobody currently hospitalized. Of the 44 only 1 was hospitalized and it was not a resident of any of the counties. Was a traveler who showed up at the ER. Was transported to Utah Valley
The last time I asked about resident vs non resident, I was told that more than 50% of the cases were from people who were not residents to any of the counties. I know I am talking about apples to oranges when you look at this area vs other areas of the state, or other states in general, but I believe you will find similar numbers in many other areas of the country. But at that the entire state of Utah has a death rate of .74% of positive cases. Yes, worldwide death rate is 4.6%, US death rate is 4.5%......but as I said a couple weeks ago, if you take out the deaths from the nursing homes in the states like New York, Washington, Illinois, and the others that were sending positive cases to them instead of staying in the hospital, the US rate would be lower than 4.6%.

Still not saying that Coronavirus is not a serious thing.......but as always......do the math and look at the big picture.

Here we go again. Some people are getting more comfortable as they should but have to stoke the fear fire some more. I don't know about you guys but I believe absolutely 0% what I read about the rona. Is the intent to lock us down until November?

Still SOOOOOOO focused on the amount of positive tests, but not so much on the small percentage of them compared to the population and the even smaller number of hospitalizations and the yet even smaller percentage of deaths.

Yes I understand people are dying from it, i'm not heartless. It's unfortunate, but people die everyday. The sheer impact of our lives in every other way is overwhelmingly worse from "protecting" us

I agree. Didn't mean to indicate I didn't believe him. I just think he is being railroaded by someone with an agenda and because he is a doctor, there is nothing he can do about it except post this video.

right, I didn't mean to question you - it was just an attempt at 'thinking out loud' and arguing with myself in the way I typed my response.
