It's literally on the first line. It's from the CDC website. You know, something like Googling, "How many deaths per day in the US"

It's not really hard.

I think you are confusing deaths and cases.

"This graph shows that the number of cancer deaths is expected to increase from about 575,000 per year in 2010 to 630,000 per year in 2020."

Your numbers are WAY off.

There are "only" 1,774 deaths per day from heart disease and 1,641 due to cancer.

I pulled them from here and estimated them as yearly totals due to their usage of "final numbers for 2017"

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm

But who knows, because the same website also shows this for 2019

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm

Then you have this site which has numbers closer to the first link

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/how-many-people-die-each-day/

These are just the first three links one finds when they Google "How many deaths in the US per day". So no, my numbers are not way off because I didn't come up with them. I merely copied and pasted from a government website.

From the first link:

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:

Heart disease: 647,457

Cancer: 599,108

 

Divide those numbers by 365 and the numbers you are claiming to be correct are WAY off.

Yeah, so according to your first post, those three causes account for 43,000,000 deaths in the US annually.

The 3rd link are deaths worldwide, not in the US.

Over the past month, the daily % of deaths to new cases is 1-2%, significantly different from the 4-5% from mid-March through mid-June.

And that doesn't account for those who were asymptomatic and were never tested.

A lot of it is probably attributable to knowing a lot more about the Rona, including treatment options than early in the outbreak.  Early on, they were pretty much experimenting hoping something would work, throwing people on ventilators to stall for time.  Right now, they have a lot of options out there that won't cure the Rona, but will at least help lessen some of the serious side effects.

I think I saw him in Irvine today in a Tesla, but he was wearing a mask and they all look the same.

If he's in pediatrics or dermatology, then he's not Asian.

If he's a surgeon or specialist, such as a hepatologist, then he might be one.

[St1ck]

Pretty sure Adam has used him for a profile picture before so I'm going to go with yes he is Asian.

Hmmm. Kind of reminds me of the Asians I worked with in mortgages where people had trouble with their names so they went by Steve or Jerry.

"No sir, I'm Phil Nguyen. Yes, I live in Orange County in the Westminster area."

What if we compare him to someone that is very obviously white?

Dude, he looks like an ugly white guy there.

Not the one on the left. The other one.

That’s super common.  I’ll be dealing with a lawyer who goes by “Eric” but when I look him up in the calbar website it will say Phong Phuc Tran.

Yep. Some Middle Eastern in my industry, but predominantly White and Asian with most of those being Vietnamese.

I think my buddy gets mad because I call him Ahn-Tan instead of Anthony.

Every middle eastern guy i know who has anglicized his name goes by Sean.

I wanted to dig deep and come up with others, but I can't and think this is correct.

Every Sheik, Shezad, Sheikan, Saad, or Samir does go by Sean.

Holy smokes.  This can't be good.  Mission and Golden State Foods is huge.

Head of Chinese CDC says he's taking experimental coronavirus drug

The director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that he has been injected with an experimental coronavirus vaccine, in order to encourage members of the public to follow suit once a vaccine has been approved.

"I’m going to reveal something undercover: I am injected with one of the vaccines,” Gao Fu reportedly said in a webinar Sunday.

“I hope it will work,” he added.

The private firm, SinoPharm, reportedly gave a vaccine injection to all members of its staff earlier this month, though it had not been approved for testing by the government – a move that health experts questioned ethically.

Gao did not say whether his vaccine injection is part of a government-approved human trial.

The U.S. and the U.K. have been working on various vaccines in the effort beat China in finding a cure for the coronavirus, a move that would be a win scientifically and politically as the two western countries have shown recent signs of solidarity against the Chinese government.

Ok so we completely blame China for the outbreak, but we’re going to trust them when they say they have a vaccine.  Seems a little inconsistent.
