BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Doctors and co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield say it may not be necessary anymore for residents to shelter-in-place.

Doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi said their facilities have tested over 5,200 patients for the coronavirus throughout the county, making up for over half of all testing in Kern. According to their data, the death rate of the coronavirus is similar in prevalence to the flu.

"Now that we have the facts," said Dr. Erickson. "It's time to get back to work."

there are an estimated 10 to 20,000 people enjoying the LA beaches today.

as time goes by, the dictatorial political hacks are making themselves more and more irrelevant

The reason for all this “shelter in place” non-sense was to not overwhelm the hospitals..well, they are not overwhelmed anymore...were they ever overwhelmed? Maybe in NYC? Or, was Cuomo and De blasio the one’s who were overwhelm..due to misspending and poor emergency planning?
Not to worry we will be bailing all you loser governors and mayors out...I am sure you have all learned your lesson.
The lesson is ..do whatever you want cause the feds will bail you out every time?

I’ve been to every single emergency room, clinic, and emergency center in Denver and Colorado Springs over the past few months. NONE were busy. The parking lots were empty.

Where were all those dead and dying that we were told to expect?

Why did we prohibit non-COVID treatments and cancel needed dental, surgical, and other medical procedures with the threat that we had to reserve all medical capabilities for the millions of COVID victims that were sure to come?

Anyone feel gullible yet?

I don’t..
I knew this day was coming.
But because i am not a scientist or a doctor or a med tech..i don’t know what i am talking about.
Didn’t take a brain to see something didn’t add up.
The give away was stopping people from going to parks.
And as i have been saying...how is it we can take precautions and go to the grocery store but we can’t take the same precautions and go to work?????
The other thing that didn’t make sense was closing down large MOSTLY OUTDOOR events. They could have, SHOULD HAVE, just reduced the ticket sales in half and left seats empty for “social distancing”.

“The give away was stopping people from going to parks.”

That was the one thing I thought maybe people would clue in on. The idea that being alone on a beach, or a bike ride, or a park was somehow something that had to be stopped was ridiculous.

25 minute video, just the highlights of the full hour version.

They lay out a lot of statistics from what we know so far rather than projections. Compare Norway to Sweden. Compare different US States, talk about the cure being worse than the disease subjects and even mention constitutional rights being trampled on.

It never was necessary. Lockdowns were dictated from the WHO by way of Fauxi and the Scarf.

They need to be supported by a series of doctors and other medical staff making “Walk away from the COVID-19 is the end of the world orthodoxy type” videos and/or big numbers of medical staff, especially laid-off medical staff, need to show up on state house lawns in their scrubs and lab coats.

jazminerose: "Because I do this sort of thing, I looked up some definitions, using a disease prevention context.

You cannot *quarantine* healthy people.

You cannot *lockdown* healthy people.

The only word I found that fit our present situation is *internment*.

Thanks to HotHunt for the above great visual!

If people want to stay home, let them! NO ONE wants to force them to go out!

Easy - if you as a small business owner don’t feel safe - don’t open.*

Easy - If you as an individual don’t feel safe with things opening up - don’t go out.*

Snowflakes should stay home all summer anyway. It’s starting to get warmer. Chill flakes.

death rate of the coronavirus is similar in prevalence to the flu.

I haven't seen a seasonal flu infection/death count in the news for the 19/20 flu season in months. Guessing the flu season ended back about January and just morphed into the covid season and they just combined the numbers.

Here’s another ER doctor talking about COVID-19. I don’t have time to fully check it out this weekend.

Maybe someone else can and summarize and post it if it is any good.
