even using US total confirmed cases and *assuming* that the average person will infect 3 others, only 0.00004% of the US population has coronavirus. The math does not support the hysteria surrounding this virus.

The reason for the hysteria is what you see in Italy. The medical system is not designed to support the surge in hospitalizations. People who would normally be treated and discharged will die because they won't have beds or ventilators available for them. 'Social distancing' is needed to decrease the rate of hospitalizations so we can prevent as many unnecessary deaths as possible.

Oh god. It was 3.8% last week, now it's almost 7%.

What in the hell is going on over there?!

It's likely due to high levels of underdiagnosis in many countries, though Italy's older population is definitely a factor.

Most normal people have older family members and worry about transmitting the virus to them.

It's literally a test they do, along with others, to test for multiple forms of dementia.

I'm a geriatrician and I test regularly for dementia. It's 3 points on a 30 point scale in one test. So the clock itself is not a test, no. It's a small part of the overall test (called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment).

As well, they do not test for 'multiple forms of dementia.' It just tests for cognitive impairment, of which dementia could be the cause. Stop spreading misinformation just because you read about it once.

Drawing a clock is something they do to test for dementia. Something Biden's doctor hasn't done apparently

This is just kinda bad information. A misdrawn clock doesn't mean you have dementia, and drawing a normal one doesn't mean you don't have it.

Can someone explain this picture to me?

Conditions such as strokes can cause problems with the brain that result in someone thinking that's what a clock should look like. Not sure what it has to do with Biden.

Because the Senate isn't a democratic institution. Republicans have more sway despite representing less people.
