Experts fear 'national naivete' on COVID optimism.
Experts should fear an end to the 'national naivete' in regards to experts.
There's abundant reason to display skepticism, even cynicism in regards to 'experts' and their models.
We know 100% that the experts and models have been wrong.
We can deduce that experts' mild mannered exterior covers a ruthless authoritarian core. They don't have a problem with locking down the economy and the country for 18 months, during which citizens will have to raise their hands and ask permission to go to the bathroom. This isn't a problem for them...they prefer this state.
They LIKE the current state...and there seems to be no hurry to find a treatment or a vaccine. Any progress has come as a result of wingtip suppositories applied liberally by PT.
We have 'experts' telling us that the most successful treatment shows only 'anecdotal' success and will require another 12-18 months of study to prove. Meantime we have government officials outlawing the use. We're told that vaccines are also...12-18 months off.
I'll repeat that for emphasis...they have no problem with the current state of affairs...they LIKE it. Woe be to us if their druthers become determinate.
For them, there's no possible scenario where the cure is worse than the disease.
Ah, the Fake Doctor makes another diagnosis.
I point and laugh.
Ping to 61.
FU moron. People are being arrested for having a wedding or funeral. ONE man BY HIMSELF ON A BEACH was arrested in southern California.
Unfounded? Nazi bastard.
Never claimed to be a doctor. Only claimed to have a brain.
By the way, the PeakProsperity videos that I was posting, turns out that guy is a doctor, has a PHD in pathology. Who knew? I just thought he was making a lot of sense.
Why are you always throwing false accusations?
Oh, so you’re NOT a doctor. Good to know, because you would kill more people than you would heal.
The FearBros are having full out delirium tremens symptoms today. Wouldn’t be surprised at some suicide attempts next week.
Luckily, so far, not here in Eastern Nevada. A trip to Smith's grocery indicated a 25-max-in-store (same at Wal-Mart). Thought there'd be a line up but walked right in and had a friendly clerk wipe down the cart handles. People on line kept their distance, joked with the cashier (they all were masked, as were the baggers). Everybody was OK.
Same at Wal-Mart. Joked with the people-counter about at least getting some fresh air. Only about half, if that, wore masks, and all were low-key.
Water plentiful, with paper goods starting to appear, although a one-each limit prevails.
Only a drive-in at KFC and McDonalds open. This town depends on gamblers and snowbirds and the place is DESERTED. You know their budget had been creamed Big Time.
Ditto. Trump ran against elitists and Beltway wonks being in charge. He needs to get back to that.
Plenty of other doctors out there who view the situation more realistically.
Nearly all of us who aren’t doctors have more common sense than Tony Fauci. That’s really his point.
There is no evidence for your claim
As a matter of fact the fact you made the claim is a lack of common sense
People in your part of Tennessee must be wound pretty tight...
Hospitals are putting employees on furlough right and left because there is nothing to do...
Fauci wants to antibody test 350 million Americans and give those who test positive a clearance certificate.
That’s a logistical impossibility. The man is a loon.
PHX, AZ, field report.
AZ is the 14th most populous state in the USA, with the 6th LARGEST land mass. PHX is the 6th LARGEST city in America.
Test question: Should every square inch of America, be treated the same during the COVID 19 outbreak?
To date: there are 108 COVID 19 attributed deaths. That’s it. AZ has a massive elderly population, with likely- multiple comorbidity factors- each! GOOD JOB ARIZONA!
AZ edict- Stay at home, except for essential work or necessities.
Me-
Reality: Come and go as I please but keeping it down to a dull roar.
Motto: Limit my trips and make it count.
Essentials: Beer, lottery, food. Beer, lottery, food. Beer, lottery, food.
Went to an elementary school earlier today to participate in a self funded / self help, weekly, group, food program- Bountiful Baskets.

Both distribution days, I got my baskets before the herd arrived, and left almost immediately.
No more than 5 customers and 6 volunteers were on the premise at the same time, during my presence.
Me- purchased last week: $246 (very low exposure vs big box store population / interaction)
Me- purchased this week: $184 (very low exposure vs big box store population / interaction)

Enjoying watching the “Hurt Locker” right now, while quaffing a 9% New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA, and enjoying an accompanying refreshing 4.2% Bud Light Chelada Extra Lime made with Clamato.
Contemplating a possible beer run later today, in search of a small batch bourbon.
Approx. 100 participants involved to pick up their food baskets.
USNS Comfort 64 patients (1,000 beds)
NYC Javits Center 255 patients (2,000 beds)
USNS Mercy 15 patients (1,000 beds)
I wonder how many people on those ships are asymptomatic or immune. I suspect a very large percentage.
