Yeah, I'm not sure how that rate per 100,000 is being calculated. If you look at the numbers on their website, there have been 23,710 documented cases in patients under 60. The numbers you posted indicate 1098 hospitalizations in patients under 60. By my math that indicates that 4% of patients <60 w/ documented infection end up hospitalized. So I'm not sure how they are calculating that rate per 100k.Massive study out of Massachusetts just released:
TLDR:
@jdm889010 @hpharri1994 @HogPocket9455 @mcbmd @nikkichavanelle ...am I reading these numbers incorrectly? TIA.
- If you are under the age of 60, you have a 0.1% chance of being HOSPITIALIZED!!! if you are infected.
- [(1+9+20+31+55)/100,000]*100
- If you are under 80, you have a 0.114% chance of dying...if you get the disease...
- [(0+0+1+2+6+22+83)/100,000]*100
Edit: Again, risk of hospitalization/death is low in those <60. But 4% seems more accurate than 0.1%.
Perhaps the wording is really shitty. I wonder if they are doing by MA population?

Yeah, but what are the numbers for the 18-65 age group?
but six weeks ago when some of us were saying that this is what the numbers would look like in 6 weeks we were not capable of critical thought and were conspiracy theorists............
This is a silly argument made by people who have no justification for their liberal views or their disdain of Republicans and/or rural people.
For one, federal highway spending is included. Those are not dollars from which the states solely benefit. Interstate commerce in net donor states would be adversely affected without highway funds being spent in areas with low population density.
Second, income is generally lower in those net recipient states. So even though the states may be receiving more funding from the government, they aren't exactly sharing in the bounty of the country equally as compared to many of the net donor states.
Agricultural subsidies and expenditures also make up a large portion of the government expenditures. Let's see how well some of the population centers do without the food that states in the south and midwest provide. Part of the deal for the states to function well together includes sending resources from areas that have an abundance to areas that are lacking.
Finally, let's assume for a second that the premise of the article is correct. Even if this is all about true welfare spending, it only makes sense that people who are not receiving government aid in states with an abundance of people who do get it will be more bothered by the process. When you see a lot of examples around you on a daily basis of people who are getting by on the goodness of the government rather than their own labor, it bothers you more than it would someone who doesn't see tangible examples of the abuses of social programs.
The bottom line is that this article that you found from nearly ten years ago makes a generalization that only the truly simple minded find compelling.
I know you were joking...but I thought I'd do a deeper dive since I didn't like how they worded things.
Data:
Noteworthy Charts:
TLDR:
- If you are under the age of 60, have no pre-existing conditions, and have COVID-19: you have a 0.0089% chance of dying.
- Neat thing about this study is it noted only 27% of hospitilized patients needed the ICU
- Massachusetts, the number three state in terms of total cases/million population, does not have a region whose medical facilities are more than 58% in use
No idea if this is a troll or there’s some validity to it but interesting.
Surprised they didn't stop with this groundbreaking story:
LOL twiter is seriously a cesspool for misinformation. I'm all for freedom of speech, but things are getting out of control.
Since these stats include surge capacity, there are likely hospitals way above 58% in capacity/use. Like saying a restaurant that's full but has more tables and chairs in storage isn't operating at full capacity. Other than that v solid breakdownI know you were joking...but I thought I'd do a deeper dive since I didn't like how they worded things.

Hospitals in Arkansas are laying people off and cutting hours, my man
My comment wasn't about Arkansas hospitals, just referring to the Massachusetts data
Uh-oh fear mongers. Aka @jdm889010
Feb 6th is now the first confirmed covid-19 death.

So the liberal mainstream media is now saying that the REPUBLICAN led Senate Intelligence Committee has now concluded that the intelligence community was correct in their assessment that Putin and Russia interfered on Trump's behalf in the 2016 election.
In before all of the "LOL" replies.

It’s odd, Trumps name was not mentioned one time in the findings. Just that they agreed with the manner they obtained the information.
Here the link to the report as there’s no way NBC is going to report without emotion.
I guess Putin wasn't satisfied with that Uranium deal he made with Hilary
I don't think a single person has said that the Russians didn't try to interfere in the elections. They have been doing that since probably FDR. We do it in other countries' elections as well.
Where leftists and never Trumpers show their ignorance or their irrationality is when they assume Trump was a willing participant, or that there was any collusion between his campaign and any foreign entity. This is why you can't trust any partisans. They automatically ascribe the worst possible motives to their opponents, and the best to those they support, regardless of consideration of actual facts. Then they take any information, regardless of credibility, as actual fact as long as it feeds their confirmation bias, while ignoring information that may have more factual basis if it contradicts their point of view.
The only interference that article said, was to "discredit" HRC. Even, the almighty one, Obama said the Russians were interfering, (probably by providing the dossier) and he chuckled at the thought.
So the real question is, how CVNTY did the Russians make HRC appear? I personally believe they made her marginally CVNTY, meanwhile she took most of it to heart and did the majority on her own.
Also, the Russians were known to make her appear to be ill and only have 2-3 dozen people at rallies. While BDD was filling up arenas up to 2 times daily.
Actually the link to the report was in the NBC article. They weren't trying to hide it. Most of it is redacted so it would be difficult for the general public to know who was named and who wasn't. I guess we just have to believe the GOP committee, CIA, and NSA instead of the Bolsheviks.
I know, that's where I found it. I wasn't saying they were hiding the report, I was saying they would make comments on the report that were biased towards their opinions.
'if its what i think it is we ll love it' Don Jr
Wikileaks, we love wikileaks
"if another country come with information...you gotta listen...i think...dont you, you gotta listen I would' dumb**** in chief
"Russia if you are listening i hope you find the 30000 emails" again dumb**** in chief
I just talked with, Im standing here with...Putin, he said its not them....tell you one thing....i dont know why it would be them' on the world stage dumb**** takes Putin side over his own administration
psst Russian ambassador in the oval office, here's some top secret information on Israeli operations within Syria that i just stupidly dropped during casual conversation.
Trump's a moron and a sheep when it comes to Russia and Putin
You have posted some groundbreaking stuff that I haven’t seen about Trump and Russia.
Thoughts on the great divider in chief telling Putin he wiuld have more flexibility once he was out of office?
Scott, do u not know that the dossier info came from either the Russian’s or Ukrainians? 2nd the repubs in Congress actually believed the dossier and McCain was one of the people that spread the info, so I don’t trust the dumb the dumb repubs and mainly ole Lindsey. He had to be in the know about what McCain was doing and probably helped. So In essence mainstream repubs were part of the coup

I feel like I'm watching a Disney show every time she speaks. She's talks like she's 12. This brilliant decision comes on the heels of back to back days with ZERO DEATHS and the lowest number of new cases, only 20, since it all started.
She's just trying to stay relevant. Abbott's upcoming exec order will supercede this stupid decision just like it did when she tried to free all of the jail inmates last month. She's a product of widespread straight ticket voting by the Democrats. She was elected when she was 27 years old. Here is her resume after she graduated college before being elected.
She moved to Thailand where she worked for the Internews Network, an international non-profit dedicated to training journalists and advocating for press freedom. After returning to the United States from Thailand, she worked as a medical interpreter at the Texas Medical Center in Houston and volunteered for the Texas Civil Rights Project.
That's it. Had never even attended a Commissioner Court's meeting before being elected. And then the democrat dummies elected her.
So the Cliffs is............. crowded rooms breed more respiratory infections than being outdoors does. Color me socked. What's next with these brilliant Canadians, they gonna tell us the Sun is hot?
Honestly, I don’t even read these things I post. I just see it and post.
Other than not being able to go on a quick weekend trip, vacation, or gym, this virus hasn’t stopped me from much.
No, I don't know that and neither do you. I don't get all of my news from Sean Hannity like you and the President do.
Houston police union put out statement that they encourage everybody to wear mask but they will not be enforcing such draconian measures.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a...nd_zero_for_russia_collusion_hoax_141479.html......https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/who-glenn-simpson-n786321.... umm ya I do sorta know when u follow the facts. And I’m pretty sure Hannity said the facts didn’t line up with the accusations from the beginning, and he proved to be right. But keep regurgitating the propaganda of fakenews and Dems and that helps u.
