In other words, you're suggesting that the 204,000+ documented deaths (with death certificates) due to Covid-19 (with the cause of death in most or all cases being printed on the death certificates) were "fake deaths?"

No, the deaths aren't fake. The "wave" of covid deaths was a fake.

There is NO WAY 204,000 people died of covid. NO. WAY.

I don't care what death certificates say.

I'm sure many doctors would tell you, as mine did, that more men die with prostate cancer than from prostate cancer. Probably many of the 204,000 died with Covid instead of from Covid.

A thread to share positive news about Covid-19 Rx and vaccine developments
A new report from The New York Times indicates that experts have “genuine confidence” that the coronavirus pandemic will end “far sooner” than originally expected and that President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed — the administration’s efforts to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics — has been “working with remarkable efficiency.”

If you are interested this is one of the best articles I've seen explaining the mechanics of the virus. Complete with short videos along the way showing the actual virus - with computer enhancement to display the parts. How the virus spikes swivel looking for receptors and how it cloaks itself to hide from our immune system. How one virus protein hijacks our cellular machinery and how another creates a tunnel to get out of vesicles and infect other cells. Very easy read with pictures. :-)

I'm sure the article itself wasn't describing anything new -- what is good news is how far the researchers / scientist have come in the understanding of this virus. In fact, the antibody cocktail that Trump received is a product of that research and understanding.

Fair enough. From your description, I just didn't see anything encouraging.

Linked is an open letter from the chairman and CEO of Pfizer. His best estimate for showing efficacy of their vaccine candidate is late October. His best estimate to show safety is the "third week in November" - at which time they will apply to the FDA for a emergency used authorization. 04-cheers

It is amazing how fast the work has been done on this virus. Just need 2 or 3 of the vaccines being produced to get approved in Nov/Dec time frame. Along with the Government guessing right on which ones to fast track production.

I would imagine that part of this is the resurgence of the virus. We shot through 70000 new cases yesterday. More infections means better data and quicker timelines - that said, I have a feeling we're in for a rough month or so.

New cases are up, but death rates have not followed. We understand the virus better, and are doing a better job with treating it. Here in Florida we are running at 25 to 35% of what we had at the peak in July. We have taken a bit of a jump over 3 weeks ago, but have opened everything up. Still lots of mask and social distancing done, But the economy is recovering.

In Nashville, as of 10/21/20, the two week death rate (deaths/total cases) is 0.238%. The overall death rate is 0.894%. At least one cause (I read) is better treatments.

RE: A thread to share positive news about Covid-19 Rx and vaccine developments
Take a look at this study showing the affect of mask-wearing -- and wearing different types of masks. Note the synergistic effect when both parties wear masks. (Eg the lowest ranking mask was cloth. Still a "receiver" wearing a cloth mask blocks 20 to 40% of the virus, a "spreader" cloth mask blocks 50% of the virus. So when both parties are wearing masks, even cloth, a substantial portion of virus is blocked)

Should wear mask anyways, so we don't have to look at faces of ugly people.
