First PV of "NiceToMeetYou"

I began to follow them a year ago because of Madoka "Madorun" and Sayaka Kamitsuki (2 real brilliants)
And last summer Misaki-cnan appeared as a new member and immediately reminded me of Matsuno Rina

As for those graves New York City Mayor Press Secretary Freddi Goldstein said:

Usually, about 25 people are buried on the island each week. But since coronavirus began claiming victims in the US, she said there are 25 people buried there each day.

And I doubt that someone like Trump whose ONLY concern is himself and his re-election would adopt the current measures if not needed

Let's continue this over here, shall we

I said everything I had to say, for now. Let's table this, continue in a few months, when there's more to say (because there will be more data on it).

For instance, Germany is starting a wide study on the true infection and mortality rates, which will complement the studies already done in Korea. We will also have more definitive comparisons on infection and death rates between different nations. I expect that those studies will prove these suspicions I (and many others who bother thinking for themselves, instead of just accepting official statements as fact) have:

1. the mortality rate of COVID-19 is as low or lower than that of seasonal flu. So under 0.6%. Infection rates are lower as well, so deaths related to Covid will end up far below those related to seasonal flu, on any 12 month period you wish to look at. That's despite it catching medical science somewhat by surprise, while the flu has been around, giving us many decades to develop treatments, vaccines, reasonable preventive measures people are actually willing to follow (as opposed to these panicked stay at home, don't talk to anyone orders no one in their right mind would obey), etc.

2. Lockdowns will have proven ineffective, and countries like Sweden, Japan, etc. will not have higher infection and death rates than countries with sweeping, economy busting and psychologically harmful, police and military enforced stay at home orders.

One notable exception to this: targeted lockdowns, like the Chinese one, where they sealed off hotspots, but left the vast majority of their population free to live their lives, will be proven effective. (the US, for instance, would have benefited greatly from such a targeted lockdown of NY. But when the federal government tried to seal off the NY area from the rest of the country, there was a knee jerk reaction opposing the idea. The NY governor floated the idea of "civil war" in response, I believe.

3. Covid-19 will not affect death rates, in the medium or long term, in any nation or area. Even in the NY tri-state area or Lombardy (which seem to be the two most affected regions) death rates over let's say the 2020-2022 period will not be higher than death rates over the previous or subsequent three year periods. That's because, when the media and politicians attribute 100,000, or however many, deaths to Covid, those are mostly people who would have died anyway, from their pre-existing conditions, or some other infection, at some point in the next 3 years.

But, again, these are just suspicions, for now. We will know for a fact in 2-3 months, once enough data is out (well, the last one, only in 3 years). I'll be looking at that data anyway, so, if I remember to, I'll post it, or PM it to you.

In other words we who value the opinions and trust people which are experts in their fields are dumb sheeps who can't think for themselves
Well all I can say to that is "maaaaahhhh"

Talking heads, bureaucrats and politicians aren't experts at anything except demagogy and wielding power gratuitously.

Like I said: the experts will have their say in a few months, when enough data is in. Then we can talk.
