CBS: Model predicts 100,000 more COVID deaths unless U.S. changes its ways
The U.S. is projected to see nearly 100,000 more COVID-19 deaths between now and December 1, according to the nation's most closely watched forecasting model.
But health experts say that toll could be cut in half if nearly everyone wore a mask in public spaces.
In other words, what the coronavirus has in store this fall depends on human behavior.
"Behavior is really going to determine if, when and how sustainably the current wave subsides," said Lauren Ancel Meyers, director of the University of Texas COVID-19 Modeling Consortium.
"We cannot stop Delta in its tracks, but we can change our behavior overnight."

WNU Editor: Putting everything in perspective. The media, pundits, medical health specialists, some Republicans, and all Democrats "crucified" President Trump on his Covid response last year over numbers that are lower than what is happening now. And if this new model does become true, more Americans will have died in the fist year of President Biden's Presidency than President Trumps.
Yes, from the same people who gave you your weather models.
ReplyDeleteThe editor's comment has nailed it. I've been pointing this out for quite awhile. The term I've used is "raked over the proverbial coals." "Crucified" is probably a more accurately description.
ReplyDeleteObjective studies suggest the masks are about 10% effective. As such, wearing them will have slight benefits at the margins in slowing disease spread. They will NOT cut down the spread by 50%. Also, the masks limit exhaling and have deleterious health effects themselves. Wearing them may have negative utility. Proper studies need to be done.
A good first step in finding a path forward would be to strip the medical "experts" of their near dictatorial powers in setting policies. They've had compete control over policy for going on two years now and the hole continues to get deeper!! Bring on leaders in the hospitality and food service industries as equal partners and find solutions!! The expertise these people have in cleanliness and preventing pathogen spread is immense and they're being completely untapped!!
His ex-student warned about his lying but never mentioned the boasting.
DeleteThe editor recently discussed a study that suggested the masks are only about 10% effective. At the time he took the time to point out that this knowledge isn't new it's just that we are only now able to discuss it publicly.
DeleteI believe it was the Danes who conducted a study on this as well regarding the efficacy of masks with the conclusion that they aren't particularly effective. When asked when it would be published, the lead author said to paraphrase "when they are brave enough." When the facts aren't on one's side and they have the power, censor baby censor!! Throw in insults abd slander as well. Obviously such people can't address the issues head on and discuss them as the facts aren't on their side.
While the study I reference, duxvuss the blue paper masks, there's not a material difference between the cloth ones that most people wear and those. Anyone whose worn both can easily attest to this. With these cloth masks we may be able to increase effectiveness to say 12%.
While the ares I live near Houston TX does not have a nask mandate, wufh rising cases I'm noticing more people "masking up." You accuse me of Killin people with lies. That's quite a vicious slander of me!!
These people who are "masking up" have been led to believe these masks are a panacea without downside health risks. The people who missed them in this area are the ones who are killing people.
Finally, I see someone here keeps asking you for your military records. I've been falsely accused hwre of being a Russian or Russian agent. In order to disprove this, I've made it quite easy for anyone to find me and verify all claims about who I am and it's obviously not Russian. Now what information you choose to provide is strictly your business and frankly doesn't concern me. I would suggest that you be very circumspect before slandering others and perhaps you should refrain from doing it.
B.
DeleteMasking has become much more than a medical necessity, but rather a badge of virtue to some
It definitely has!! Some people are also understandably VERY AFRAID and they cling to these things like a small child does to a security blanket. While the masks are slightly more effective than the security blanket is for the child, the primary utility is they make people feel better.
DeleteDo what you will and say what you will
DeleteWe won
You lost
Tired of winning?
Yep, same models that predicted 2.25 million deaths in the UK and same in the USA 20 months ago...........Sorry, we were wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe vaccines work.
ReplyDeleteAlmost 200 million of my fellow citizens received one and are doing just fine.
Get the vaccine; save your life and protect your community.
Don’t belive in science?
ReplyDeleteGood die and make more parking spaces
Where Fred, at Randall's where there's always parking up front? Where's your military record you lying braggart.
DeleteYeah yeah the vaccines work.. only that they have killed tens of thousands and have injured hundreds of thousands already in the US alone. And everyone is being silenced about this and you morons keep telling people to take it. You're as always, Fred, the last to catch on Judy that this time you actually kill people with your advice.
ReplyDeleteAnd each jab you take makes you more sick.
Have you not noticed that this is a purposeful bring down of America to start the great reset?
They want to end nation states and democracy and bodily autonomy. And you keep infecting yourself with MRNA which tells your own body to produce the spike protein, the cytotoxic part of the virus
And it leaves the injection site
Have you not caught on to the tethering issue?
It goes throug the blood brain barrier, that's why also the brain fog from the vaccines, aside from deadly myocardysis, blood clots, strokes and loss of limbs
And you ASSHOLE tell people to keep taking the vaccines
Average age of death from covid before the vaccines: 77.4 years and on average two comorbidities.
The vaccines kill perfectly healthy people. Sometimes in minutes.
You absolute asshole, Fred
Fuck you misfit
DeleteI got my vaccine and am happy
No need to answer
Luck pal
"the vaccines kill perfectly healthy people. Sometimes in minutes."
ReplyDelete"Have you not noticed that this is a purposeful bring down of America to start the great reset."
Bird-brained level. Go take horse de-wormer instead. I heard it works great.
@335, respectfully you're the bird brain. You're being manipulated.. why do you think the Japanese are now using ivermectin as standard treatment and not the vaccines, in Tokyo they've started this now.
DeleteIvermectin is used for horses, yes, so are dozens of other medicines. What do you think fentanyl and ketamine are used for? Not just in humans, but you wouldn't know medicine when... I'm just so stuck of people like you parroting the media narrative.
Let me tell you, in Asia and Africa they use ivermectin and they use it for malaria and parasites mostly. BUT as many drugs do, this has a dual purpose quality observed in many countries now.
Please for the love of God turn off the TV.
3:24, a couple hundred million people think you are dipstick, because, well, you are.
ReplyDeleteStop endangering normals and get the vaccine.
PS. only rubes believe that the "great reset" is a thing.
Who appointed you as the "font of truth"? So you're a "normal" nice self- appointment there!
DeleteAre you tired of being a shill? You're the one losing. Won't produce proof of service but brags about it, you were outed by an ex male student and now you can't wiggle away from it. Come on Freddy tell us some more about your heroism your merry little band would like to know!
DeleteYou shouldn't do this to Fred, he couldn't help himself in the past.
ReplyDeleteIf a vaccine makes you more vulnerable to the next variant and there is always a next variant, is it worth it to take a vaccine?
ReplyDeleteNot fair to Fred, it means speaking the truth, quite painful for him.
DeleteThe FDA has not approved the vaccine. Read the fine print.
ReplyDeleteWhat you're getting is off label, same biological agent but you get it under the emergency authorisation act as they'll tell you the on label drug (the one that would require approval) is "out of stock"
They're fcking with you because the government went all in on the vaccines and made these country deals with pfizer. Look at the leaked contract. It basically means this push for vaccines and their coercion is a massive liability. And they keep doubling down and the crime becomes bigger by the minute.
Why do you think the FDA don't release the study results on a rolling basis as is normally done in such a situation when informed consent is mandated by law? They're violating the Nuremberg code and think they'll get away with it, they're morons.
Don't take the vaccine, look at the Israeli studies about their efficacy. Look at the outbreak in the countries that went full vaccine and the strains the vaccines created.
They're murderers
Eventually the Human race will have to face this disease.
ReplyDeleteThe human race as a whole is dealing with this disease. We are at war with a pathogen. We've done this before. Humanity has dealt with pandemics before and We've come through them remarkably well.
DeleteThis one is no different. We as as species ate doing remarkably well facing this disease. Unfortunately as with any war there will be casualties. Most of us have already lost loved ones and/or close friends of loved ones to this disease. To be candid, we are going to lose many more. Even though I've taken the vaccine I may well be a casualty of this war. If I am to be a casualty, I will REFUSE TO COWER IN FEAR to it nor will put any faith in silly things like masks. While I will wear them as a societal norm, I'm under no delusion that they actually work on any material way to stop the spread of this pathogen.
What is "novel" here is the government response. We are not only at war with a pathogen but it seems as though we are at war with our government as well. Unfortunately we're likely to be dealing with the ramifications of our government's response long after the pathogen is gone.
Our immune systems know how to fight pathogens and if fed the proper nutrients the success rate is high. Humans are facing this down and doing remarkably well and will continue to do so.
Our immune systems don't have experience with stupid governments. A rushed through vaccine with some nasty known side effects seems very unwise at this juncture. Forcing this on people seems to be even greeter folly. Forcing it on young people seems even greeter folly. I took the vaccine. At this point, I will not be taking the boosters.
I disagree with you poster, governments have been remarkably and consistently stupid in their response to.pandemics. I know of no government (or people) that responded intelligently to a pandemic which speaks to the remarkable resiliency of our species. One day it might not be enough, but so far it has been.
DeleteAgreed, no government has responded well as in doing anything to contain the pandemic. They have by in large done a great job in spreading fear and getting people to sacrifice essential liberties and nothing they've done has actually slowed the pandemic!!
DeleteThis disease is survivable by most. We will weather this. Humans have much experience with this type of thing. We do NOT have experience with untested and rushed through vaccines or stupid government responses. Nevertheless we are the most resilient species on the planet. With God's help we'll weather both the vaccine and our stupid government
While someone may feel fine now, long range studies on mice aren't promising. Mice don't live as long as humans and they're more like us than we care to admit.
You would wouldn't you stupid!
ReplyDeleteI'm vaccinated, feel fine.
ReplyDeleteBiden ended the charade. Support Presidents that end wars instead of starting them.
Who got the vaccine available so quickly?
DeleteI’m 64 and my wife is 63. I have co-morbidities out the wazoo. We just spent the last month with Corona, but we survived the worst cold of our lives. COVID is not a death sentence by any means. Sure it hits some folks harder than us, but it is survivable for most.
ReplyDeleteThe Biden-lovers here are backed into a corner. Incessantly spouting faint praise of this National Embarrassment. Pledging their undying support, love and vote for this National Embarrassment. Saying in rote fashion that, "Trump Lost, Biden is doing a great job, Orange Man Bad" - more so to try to irk this blog community than stating a held belief.
ReplyDeleteThe Biden trolls here have one smear. One bitch. One focus. And they repeat it ad nauseam. One hit wonders who have no other ammo. They just hate Trump. Big whoop. Carry your asses to twitter and you add to the ass-clown echo chamber. Where you're comfortable.
In other words, up your game. Think up new material. If you can.
Russ has said it quite well.
DeleteCunt
DeleteFred's stuttering!
DeleteOk, smarty name the government, people, and disease.
ReplyDeleteWaiting genius.
ReplyDelete9:51 PM
ReplyDeleteI'm vaxed and I feel fine too. So what?
Re your remark on Biden "ending wars". Biden has done nothing but prolong wars. Empower enemies. And surrender to geopolitical adversaries who have fattened his wallet.
Biden advised Obama NOT to kill Bin Laden. Biden shepherded the 2011 US withdrawal (surrender) from Iraq - then US having to re-enter Iraq with more power, much later. Biden surrendered AFG with a predicable post-op. Biden gave the Taliban a massive arsenal. Biden gave Russia Nord Stream 2.
WHY,
R,
"Wvy," Perhaps a better question is why did the leadership class work so tirelessly to get him and his VP in these positions so tirelessly?
DeleteRuss
DeleteBiden worried about killing civilians and bush failed to get bin laden
You are simply way off
Biden got jihadist day after homing
Keep believing but america got disgusted with trump
Lies no health plan no infrastructure
And thus a failed presidency
And not even man enough to admit he lost but he did and only the stupid and dump think otheise
There you go lying again Freddy baby.
DeleteThe people here who say I'm vacced and I'm fine that's good to hear but you don't understand our concern
ReplyDeleteThe spike protein is cytotoxic and accumulates throughout your body
Every further shot is a gamble
They haven't done the thermodynamic studies prior to release. In some people the mRNA is processed at normal rate and they might be fine even after 3 shots, but many are already dying after their 2nd shot.
So many scientists have come forward, famous American and Israeli and French and German and British.. they all come forward during the most vicious cancel culture that's been installed on purpose ahead of this global power grab
Regardless what your conspiracy theories may think why are they trying to force an untested vaccine on us? We will beat the pandemic. This isn't a gamble.
DeleteWill we beat the government response to this? While I'm sure we will the government response to the virus has been far worse than the virus itself.
Waiting!
ReplyDeleteBposter look at the leaked country contract of Pfizer, then you'll understand
ReplyDeleteThe government is absorbing all liability.
It's an extinction event level liability for all governments.
Each government that pushed these vaccines WILL be trialled and at least updated,IF a large enough control group of unvaccinated people remains to show what they did was reckless
That's why they double down and a lot of people will die from it, and ultimately if they do not let up, it'll be their demise too
Those dying on america are the unvaccinated mostly
ReplyDeleteThat is fact
Now get it or risk your life
Simple and direct
Why do you always lie Fred?
DeleteAverage age of death for covid19 is the same average death for everyone: 77.4 years, and most covid deaths, if you believe in the fake PCR test, were adults who were that age AND had 2(!) Comorbidities
ReplyDeleteThe vaccine kills people if they're 18 and perfectly healthy. They just drop dead. Thousands. Already 12,000 registered confirmed deaths from the vaccines in the database.. just dead!
And hundreds of thousands injured from the vaccine already
And those are only the short term effects
And on top, most importantly, it's wrong
You do not get to decide what I put in my body
You come stab me with a needle, I'll stab you back. Simple as that, and that includes big mouth drug pusher, Fred
You come at be with that vaccine, you go down so quick little parrot your last thought will be "ohshiiii" and then your thought ends.
Because that's what we do with nazis, Fred!
You're an actual, real live Nazi pushing drugs, Fred LAPIDES
Waiting
ReplyDeletefor what? a gay pickup
ReplyDeleteOnly you would think of that, don't let Fred know, high blood pressure and old age don't mix well.
Deleteask mommy about it.
ReplyDeleteNope that's between you and Fred.
