Hit up 2 more high peaks this last weekend. Now up to 15!

With a lot of that being preventable if Americans didn't have such a terrible diet.

The Rocks entire family got it. Him and his wife had a rough time, but the kids just a little sore throat.

I believe its around 4 months that antibodies last? However, reinfection is pretty rare it seems.

My friend in California got tested twice, negative both times. Had every symptom in the book. Antibody test 2 weeks after feeling better and positive. Another from Buffalo fever of 2 weeks, 2 negatives and 3rd time positive. Testing needs to improve.

650k people die from the flu globally each year (a bad flu season) and that is with a vaccine...Imagine what it would be with no vaccine? 2-3+ times that?

How do they come up with the yearly flu estimates? Don't they use excess deaths in nations that are poorer?

Excess deaths globally are not 6-8 times the worst flu seasons. It would have to be between 3,900,000-5,200,000. Those are the facts.

News at 11, people die when they get sick. We're all going to die my friend. https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/14-12-2017-up-to-650-000-people-die-of-respiratory-diseases-linked-to-seasonal-flu-each-year

Globally the worst flu years have killed up to 650k people. What will we be at by end of year 1-1.2 million? It's not 6-8 times worse globally. You cannot simply use USA as a dataset. USA outbreak has been far worse then global death rates. https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/14-12-2017-up-to-650-000-people-die-of-respiratory-diseases-linked-to-seasonal-flu-each-year

I don't see how you think it isn't politically driven though. Vaccine by Nov 1st (election Nov 3) I mean look at Pelosi with no mask in the salon. Covid is most certainly a bad illness. 2-4 times worse then the yearly flu. However, states are keeping businesses closed and not allowing them to operate freely and PPP has dried up. The repercussions of this are going to be far worse than the illness itself. If they want to keep things locked down, they have to give businesses and the people money to stay locked down. Cuomo is destroying this state worse then he already has.

I've never seen it. I've seen lots of Covid though.

The Flu can contribute to death sooner, but it's never listed on a death cert.

You'll be getting the vaccine in early Nov than? You really trust it by then?

It might not be systematic, but it shouldn't happen at all. It's far too prevalent to list someone as a COVID death that died from several years of battling cancer... Like I said you work in Met. I see death certs on my desk and speak to family members in which this occurred. I know more about this than you do. You cannot trust the media and even the CDC is at times being controlled by the government.

Science is being mixed with political motives. I mean you really think a safe vaccine is going to be ready by Nov 1st? Every medical professional I spoke to including someone with a PHD in pharm says that is virtually impossible. The CDC is pushing a vaccine by Nov 1st. You think this isn't politically motivated? The election is Nov 3rd...What a coincidence... https://news.yahoo.com/cdc-tells-states-prepare-distribution-231945460.html

What happened in May of this year was even crazier as the snow accumulated. Not just a flake.

Maybe Hurricane Flossy?

Cold air and moisture.

First flake history for Buffalo and Rochester EARLIEST EVER First Flake Sep 20, 1956

The only years that are uniform for a specific type of Enso are strong Ninos. They are virtually all warm all winter long.
