It's not about numbers not supporting someone's argument, it's flat-out knowing that it's inaccurate; when the data we have is either A. false or 2. gathered in bad faith, how can you use that to make any sort of "smart decision"?

I guess I need a little more detail on the page non-English speaking people need to get on.

Seriously, I'm a little dimwitted. I very much want to know why and what we should do about it.

The idea that our current situation is just the MSM blowing it out of proportion as “fear porn” is laughable and merits no discussion.
I’m not going to waste my time having a conversation with someone who is irrational.

My father in law that lives in Kearney was diagnosed with covid19 symptoms but couldn’t get tested because there weren’t enough tests.
The most likely answer is the numbers are under reported, just like they are nationwide.

I would agree completely. Which means that many more people have had this without serious negative effects. All the percentages are bs and most people are figuring that out. Time for life to resume...

Ah yes, let's use percentages to distract from the fact that nearly 100,000 people have died and likely more because as you said you agreed things are underreported. Move on with our lives who cares about 100,000 mourning families.

You do realize that numbers being posted in many states are from people who died with covid-19 and not necessarily from it. Washington state just admitted they even have several gun shot victims who are counted in the totals.
It is terrible that people have died... Happens to us all eventually. May as well live it up until that day comes.
First hand knowledge on a daily basis. Not from the local or national media.
I am hearing that a very large percentage are nursing home related. Most fatalities are over 60 years old. Yes there are exceptions. The wife just released a 20 year old female that was on a vent for 21 days. But they saved her. She was late in coming to the hospital. Late in calling her doctor, and the doctor failed to contact her very quickly.
Tele appointments, no doctor will actually show up at the hospital. Most have not been there since the virus started. ER docs have though. A different breed for sure.
Currently they have a few Covid patients, all from a nearby nursing home. Unfortunately all are too far along with the sickness. Catching it early is the number one factor for the elderly it seems. Catching it early for anyone showing serious symptoms is the key. The hospital is using HDQ in the early stages and it helps most get over it. Using it late in the sickness seems to be near useless. None have died from the supposed complications that the media continuously mentions. Her comments are a competent nursing staff will see the reaction and correct the dosage or stop it.
There number one fight is to keep the patient off the vent. They go to the vent, survival chances drop drastically.
I am relatively certain we will see a rise in cases in the next couple of weeks. California has truly gone wild, and this weekend indicates most have said, if I get it, I get it. Life goes on. Or it doesn't.
Living in Riverside county, they have done away with masks being a requirement. A lot are still wearing the masks. Most businesses and parks are open. But was just told access to National Forest hiking trails are closed in the Idyllwild area. Kind of surprised by that.
Tests tell you where you are on one day, that is it, you could be positive the next day. We can not test every person every day. Tests are really for the hospitals and CDC to know what is going on with the individual patients. Anti body tests are the only one that means anything over time. I don't think they have enough of them.
Now to the subject. California was dragging along for quite awhile, LA is a cesspool, like New York City, Chicago and other large metropolises. But they are now talking about school and summer camps opening during the summer. If they get the schools back open this July, I think there will be football in this state. Being the largest populated state, that should carry a lot of weight. I want to see Nebraska play this year as bad as anyone else, just want it to be safe for everyone. It appears to me things are moving positively in that direction, but I think a lot will be decided in the next couple of weeks, due to the opening of all the states.

Yeah how dare us to use percentages - let's just lump anything close into one basket and try to make it bigger then it is.
Every death is tragic to many individuals - however as we all know every death has its own story.

This is the attitude of a person that doesn’t care if millions die as long as they can get a haircut and go bowling.
