Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

The state of Arizona has now passed New York state in cases per million people. On that metric it is now the worst state in the USA.
A few days ago the news started reporting the in Arizona it has gotten so bad that refrigeration trucks have been brought in to store dead bodies.
Reminiscent of New York...in the depth of the pandemic. When folks wonder how bad is real bad, I think refrigeration trucks is an awful sign. For me it's hard to stomach. I feel so bad for those families. It takes away from the dignity of those who have passed.
The CDC's own data estimates an infection fatality ratio (IFR) of 0.65% (min of .5% / max of .8%)
As long as people keep making the virus out be more dangerous than it actually is, the more others are going to push back.
There needs to be a middle ground somewhere between Fauci and JvDub95.
My Opinion isn’t determined by what the Popular Opinion is. Sometimes I agree with the Majority, Sometimes I Don’t. If My Opinion is Different than Yours, I have to Ask One Question:

edited my comment because i misread, regardless, this is the important data. What you posed is projections, not real hard data, it's projections for planning scenarios, below is actual figures of deaths vs cases, it's not .5.-.8% it's more like 7% (no decimal) Those aren't good numbers... This isn't some non-serious thing here... that's a lot of people if this goes nationwide to everyone.

I am not doubting the math, just was confused at your post.
Yes, the CDC's info is projections, at a moving target no less!, however the confirmed cases troubles me somewhat since (in my understanding at least) most outlets seem to agree that the infection is much greater that confirmed cases, including actively infected and asymptomatic as well as those who were and did not know. We may never know what the denominator is to accurately determine the real rate and why is suspect IFRs and CFRs vary as much as they do.

i misread the initial response so there was some editing in there to ensure I wasn't being misleading (intentionally or unintentionally) with my response sorry.
In NM, COVID-19 deaths are a little over 3% of positives. On the Navajo Reservation, it's almost 5%. I'm sure it varies from state to state.
Those are very high numbers. It's difficult to paint them any other way. One out of twenty, if tested positive, far exceeds the risk I would want to take on, if I got infected. And if 1 of 20 ends in death, what about the potential for long term damage to one or more of the other 19?

Have some people not recovered or were they count more than once?
I notice cases and deaths are recorded immediately ( autopsy usually take 3 weeks but that has been bypassed for some reason) but recovery’s are not reported as accurately or as quickly. Maybe if the hospitals were paid for recovered cases they would update the numbers.

Recovery takes time, it is not immediate for some it's a week or so, others battled for weeks without being discharged, it's not overnight. Death, that's pretty immediate. Cases, also can be reported immediately. You can't report a recovery until someone has actually gotten over the virus.
1,946,696 have been closed, that's about 50% of total cases closed. Keep in mind a lot of new cases are added every single day...
My dad and step mom are still unchanged in their status. It’s been approximately 13 days.
Idaho has over 14,000 cases and 120 deaths. That’s one of the lower death rates in the country.
