Deaths from COVID-19 in hospitals is dropping
But we’re all supposed to die! New research now suggests that the deaths from COVID-19 occurring in intensive care units in hospitals has declined by one-third as doctors gain a better idea of how to treat the disease.
The study, which was conducted by researchers in the United Kingdom and published in the journal Anaesthesia, offers a hopeful message to front-line workers actively taking care of critically ill patients. The authors systematically reviewed and performed a meta-analysis on all studies that looked at ICU deaths for adult patients around the world admitted with COVID-19. The death rate for these patients in May was about 40%, down from nearly 60% at the end of March.
Over the past seven months, scientists around the world have coordinated efforts to try to find a way to cure the disease. Our knowledge of how the virus spreads, latches onto its host and causes infection, has tremendously increased, and so too has our understanding of managing severe complications that often result in ICU admissions.

I know this will fall on deaf ears, but there really is very little to fear from the coronavirus. Children are immune to it, healthy adults younger than 60 fight it off with no problem (with most showing no symptoms at all), and it only appears to be a threat to those over 60 who also have other chronic illnesses. And now, we are getting better at treating those patients.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Of course we are all supposed to die. Obamacare is such a disaster that we get a little virus and we had to shut down the country and spend trillions of dollars to deal with it, and we are still worried about a second wave! Obamacare couldn’t even provide enough ventilators — that took Trump to supply, and makeshift hospitals, too, which didn’t get used, because Obamacare couldn’t even properly evaluate a little virus.
“… there really is very little to fear from the coronavirus.”
Try telling that to our politicians. Oh, wait. You and many others have already tried.
Welcome to Obama’s America, home of the cluster bleep.
About one in a hundred of us dies every year. That’s the condition with which our creator made our paradise garden here. Let’s test some of the for, say, the most common cold virus, ans guess what we will find!
This year, 2020, will go to history as the most stupidest year ever. The year when everyone abandoned their own minds. And then BLM. What is going on?? What will happen next??

Could be. In 1910, it was reported that Halley’s Comet had cyanide in its tail, and the tail would pass through Earth’s atmosphere. Panic ensued with many people buying gas masks. Of course, the tail could not possibly add a measurable amount to cyanide to the atmosphere.
Quite a bit of similarity.
