New study from the CDC shows 40% of coronavirus deaths were also diabetic.
I have been a diabetic from many years, so I feel like there is a target on my back.
The Nashville area is number 7th for the worst coronavirus areas.

The Nashville area is number 7th for the worst coronavirus areas. I too have it. Eat potassium rich foods. If you have to go out wear a mask, a pair of shades and speakers in your ears. Dont remove until you are back indoors, if you have a pair of gloves put them on and you are good to go.

Thanks thelmadonna,
My wife and I try to be careful when we go out to the local groceries.
These are scary times for older people like my wife and I.

There is an easy answer to all this.
Every country in the World should ban ALL entrance from the USA into their countries until the USA level is back to pre-Covid levels.
Absolutely no one to travel to the USA. All non US citizens who are not resident to be returned immediately to their home countries. And held in isolation for at least two week.
Then we all sit back and let the virus burn itself out by whatever means the USA thinks practical.
HAL.

Arkansas Republican Senator Jason Rapert who has called the coronavirus and wearing masks ridiculous and the biggest hoax in the world is being hospitalized for coronavirus in the hospital.
Doctors say he seems to be improving.

Since Tennessee is becoming a coronavirus hot spot, White House official Dr. Deborah Birx told Tennessee Governor Lee to close bars and wear masks.
Gov. Lee said no, he will not do that.

Rumors have circulated on the internet that the side effects of the Oxford and Moderna trails are bad and are being hidden under the carpet.
I am not a medical person, but are they rushing these vaccines?

First peanut butter, paper towels, and toilet paper, now you can not find new refrigerators.
There is a national shortage of new refrigerators.

Did American Exceptionalism Make the Pandemic Worse?
Alexander Green | Chief Investment Strategist | The Oxford Club
Over the past week, we've gotten more bad news about the coronavirus.
More than 4.3 million Americans have now been infected. More than 150,000 have died.
And the mainstream media keeps telling us that - with more infections and deaths than any other country - the United States has done a uniquely bad job of handling the outbreak.
That's Bravo Sierra.
There are many reasons why the U.S. has more COVID cases than any other country. And few have much, if anything, to do with the way we've handled the pandemic.
The first reason is the U.S. is the world's third most populous nation, after China and India.
Plenty of countries have higher coronavirus mortality rates per capita, including Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Sweden. But we have more total cases because our population is much larger.
Also, Americans tend to be older, and the elderly are most vulnerable to the disease. (That's why Italy was also hard hit.) The median age of citizens in India, for example, is just 28.
Also, America has a largely urban population and the virus spreads more easily in densely packed areas. (In many developing countries, nearly two-thirds of citizens live in rural areas.)
Another major contributor is that 42% of Americans are obese. Obesity is highly correlated with hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and even some forms of cancer. These preexisting conditions make Americans more susceptible to the disease.
Despite these undisputed and apolitical facts, on Wednesday, The New York Times quoted Martha Lincoln, a medical anthropologist at San Francisco State University.
She had her own take on why we have so many coronavirus deaths here: "National hubris and belief in American exceptionalism have served us badly. We were not prepared to see the risk of failure."
Got that?
We have the greatest number of cases not because our population is large, elderly, urban or obese.
It's because we deceive ourselves that the oldest democracy, biggest economy and primary defender of the free world is somehow exceptional.
(Glad that San Francisco State has a "medical anthropologist" - whatever that is - to set us straight.)
There has been government incompetence in response to the pandemic, at both the state and national level.
But government incompetence is hardly new. Nor is it confined to the U.S.
Critics say we haven't done enough testing. But we've done 50% more testing than Europe.
Critics say some states - like Florida, Texas and Arizona - reopened "too early." But New York has more than three times as many COVID deaths as Florida, Texas and Arizona combined.
The virus is also spreading in states - and nations - that opened more slowly.
Japan, Hong Kong and Israel are among dozens of countries that recently reported record numbers of new cases, after they "crushed the curve" of infections.
The real problem?
All over the world, young people have figured out that they are unlikely to die or even get seriously ill if they contract the virus.
If you're under 45, the coronavirus is less lethal than the seasonal flu.
(If you're over 45, it's more lethal. But let's remember that prior to the pandemic the majority of Americans couldn't be bothered to get an annual flu shot.)
Too many young people have ignored the CDC's recommendations to social distance and wear masks. They are contracting the disease and passing it on to their more vulnerable elders.
Not just here but in many other parts of the world. That's why so many states - and countries - are rolling back the reopening of bars and restaurants.
The coronavirus remains a serious health and economic challenge to be sure. But wouldn't it be nice if the media provided more context or a nuanced perspective?
For example, it either overlooks or underreports that...
1. The median age of death from COVID-19 in the U.S. is 78.
2. Nearly half of all deaths occurred in nursing homes.
3. Approximately 40% of those infected show no symptoms.
4. Only 0.04% of cases are children.
5. Despite a spike in cases, the death toll is still down more than 60% from the mid-April peak.
It's hard to fathom why so many so-called "experts" insist that we should shut down the economy again and start over.
But it won't happen. And equity investors should know it.
Good investing,
Alex

Hidden FDA Doc Explains Why “Liar” Fauci Opposes Hydroxychloroquine, Top Doctors Explain
A DOCUMENT NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION REGARDING “EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION” OF POTENTIAL COVID-19 TREATMENTS APPEARS TO SUGGEST THAT HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE SATISFIES THE CRITERIA FOR THE CLASSIFICATION, BUT WOULD STAND IN THE WAY OF LUCRATIVE OTHER DRUGS, AND A VACCINE.
thenationalpulse.com/news/leaked-hydroxychloroquine-memo/
Despite this support, corroborated by scientific studies, the medical establishment under the auspices of Dr. Anthony Fauci have refused to grant hydroxychloroquine “Emergency Use Authorization” (EUA).
July 29th documents from a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) presentation reveal, however, that the “qualifying criteria” for extending EUA to the drug appear to have been met: it “may be effective” and that “no adequate, approved, and available alternative” exists.
The document makes clear that Emergency Use Authorization cannot be used for more than one drug or therapeutic, and the establishment is potentially therefore saving the EUA pre-emptively for vaccines and remdesivir – patently high-value Big Pharma drugs – instead of hydroxychloroquine.
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who authored a study on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, outlined the medical establishment’s campaign against the drug on the War Room: Pandemic show.
He emphasized that Dr. Fauci has “lied to the American people” by insisting that authorizing a treatment for COVID-19 rests on “controlled trials to get anything through the FDA.”
“That is not true. That has never been the historical precedent and almost no other medication has ever had to meet those standards,” Dr. Zelenko continued.
He also noted that due to the sheer existence of hydroxychloroquine – a potential treatment – “available drugs like Remdesevir and the vaccine by [the FDA’s] own internal rules cannot get EUA.”
Such a classification would “facilitate the availability and use” of the drug and represents a fast-track alternative to authorizing potential life-saving treatments during public health emergencies such as the ongoing pandemic.
