agree 100%
Yep and I bet the 50% of males and
25% of females that don’t wash their hands
after toileting still don’t
ok, let’s isolate the 0.2% of the 20 to 40K — they would die otherwise
Remember that 10% (out of which you got the 0.2%) would need hospitalization. And that 9.8% aren’t with high risk factors (or may be). So you isolate 10 million 20 to 40 year olds. You add to that the 50 million 60+1.
Oh and another 10 million odd 40 to 60s. Now you want to isolate 70 million people.
how?
You cannot conceivably isolate just “risk groups” because single members of a family might be in a “risk group”. For example, a person who has asthma lives with members of a family who don’t, do you take that person away from their family or do you simply have the family stay home?
you’re able to go for a walk, go to the stores that are open for things we deem necessary, etc. But we can’t have a social gathering or go to a theme park or places like that. For now, it’s okay. We’re talking 6 weeks, not a life time. I think “total lockdown”, at least for where I live, is a misnomer.
A 6 week lockdown is unrealistic because we will constantly be re-igniting the spread right after restrictions are lifted (after we’ve all wasted the 6 weeks sitting around doing nothing).
Everytime some infected person from Mexico (or anywhere else) enters the country (it will run wild in Mexico and other countries for the next 12 months), bammo - another 4-6 week lockdown.
There are ONLY TWO ways to stop the spread of a virulent virus, that the rest of the world has, 1) shut the borders/shut everything down for 12 months (and then we are all still susceptible to it) - not gonna happen or 2) let the healthy get it and rely on herd immunity to extinguish each new ignition source - What smart countries are doing.
Over 5 years, less people die in the herd immunity scenario. Next year, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Mexico and Sweden won’t worry about Coronavirus.
That rate is nowhere close to 2%. Iim saying when all is said and done it will be .1 or less.
And we ARE doing something so why do you bozo hysterics keep painting the worst case scenario?
Admit it, you LOVE the fear you push. You are like an out of control crack addict who gets high from spreading terror. Who the HELL compares a flu which spread in 1918...102 years ago considering the care available then with this thing which has already shown it can be helped by known medications which not only alleviate the symptoms but actually stop the virus from replicating in the host.
You’re all the same, tout the worst case scenario and make believe nothing is being done to mitigate the effects.
Meanwhile ignore the 30,000 (and counting) dead from the over 35,000,000 infected just here in America by the everyday flu and don’t mention and never did at this level of hysteria this one.
“..February 1957, a new influenza A (H2N2) virus emerged and became known as the “Asian flu.” It spread throughout China and its surrounding regions first, and it arrived in the US by that summer.
Approximately 1.1 million people died worldwide, according to the CDC; of those deaths, 116,000 were in the US. Most of the cases affected young children, the elderly and pregnant women.”
I was 15 at the time and can’t remember ANY hysteria, none, zip, nada. I spoke to my brother (15 yrs older than me) and he can’t either.
So WHY is this portrayed as a world ending calamity? Why?
B.S.!
The DOJ and the FBI ran, so far, an unsuccessful coup against Trump and got away with it. So if you want to fault me for being a skeptic then SO BE IT.
From my 'hunker bunker' it is a growing notion that the Rapture departure of millions an millions of Born agains is very close now. As LA says, we go up and they come down. Watch for that white horse hero if you wish, I'm outta here..
The regimen does work and it is a nice way to have prophylaxis for this strain of viruses. Apparently you do not want that TRUTH getting any credulity so you play word games on a conservative site, as if you are some authority. Fauci can have more influence of the warp and woof of this scene with his appearances on CNN, Fox, and with the virus task force airings than you would like to have people believe. It never occurs to your ilk that that is why the preestitutes keep trying to get any negative answer they can out of him at the briefings. Run along, you smell more like an agitprop than a serious Freeper.

BTW, genius, do you even see why Fauci’s assertion is not wrong? ... How many died last year from flu. How many died during the H1N1 flu epidemic during obamaroid’s regime rule when the roid did nothing?
He has an FDA bureaucrat mindset where FDA stands for Foot Dragging Administration.
We disagree so I must hate the TRUTH.
Got it.
Fauci can have more influence of the warp and woof of this scene with his appearances on CNN, Fox, and with the virus task force airings than you would like to have people believe.
I see, I'm trying to convince people that Fauci has no influence on popular opinion.
Paranoid much?
Your statement does reveal the problem, however.
I notice that you've pivoted from him influencing the FDA, which I think is unlikely and would be ill advised even if he could, to him influencing public opinion.
I'm all for him influencing opinion and I'm all for doctors prescribing the drug regimen. What I think is dangerous is for the FDA to say something is safe and effective without the data to back it up.
It isn't enough for you that the FDA isn't even trying to discourage the use for Covid-19. They're leaving it up to the doctors.
No, you want Fauci to push them into making a bogus official statement, although I can't figure out why.
Of course you cannot figure out because you do ot recognize the influence Fauci has on this prescribing scenario ... if the HCQ plus zinc and/or azithromycin becomes a standard means to protect, for instance, the healthcare workers what do you suppose will follow regarding big pharma manipulations for their profits?
If you want honest discussion, try to avoid relying on the fallacy of the undistributed middle. It is a tup-off of agenda.
I meant my earlier comment about paranoia as light sarcasm but now I see that I shouldn't have.
IF, IF, IF.
But, there just is no science to know IF “doubling” in “X” days will continue infinitely, but what is known, in medical science history, is that every virus reaches some point where it’s advance just ends. When for Cov19? Fauci does not know, and no one knows.
The media asks the same question of every guest, When will this be over? Of course nobody knows, but this is how stupid the media is.
