This scamdemic will never end. If the Wuhan flu dies out something else will come along. This tyranny is too good to let go. Wolf politicians and Sheeple people.

Interesting article—I have been looking closely at the Florida numbers (with no axe to grind either way) and I believe the article is basically correct about Florida.

Attached is the data of ICU uses by county in Florida.

Despite the large number of reported cases, there are still plenty of available ICU beds in most of the state.

This is _very_ good news that is not being accurately reported by the MSM.

While I have been known in these parts as a Fearper, I am actually someone who follows verifiable data, and adjust my views accordingly.

Based on this data I am convinced the lockdowns are _not_ justifiable except in _very_ local and unusual situations.

It would end if we’d all take off our masks and act normal...and not new normal...and politicians would stop using this as a tool against PDJT. Prove me wrong...like with clean CDC data abmnd Florida data and Texas data...oh, such clean data doesn’t exist...

With "woke" doctors saying people who were never tested died of the China Virus.
With hospitals and clinics saying people who were never tested are positive.
With no clear definition of what being "positive" actually means, false positives included in the positive count.
With multiple tests being added to the total count as "new".

The numbers of positive and dead are being inflated, especially in states run by Repub Governors. The push is on to keep the lockdown and the China Virus going to destroy the economy and hurt Trump.

Nope. It will never end, plus if you don’t wear a mask you will be counted as worse than a drunk driver.

Why are people so convinced hospitals are not full? It is simply not true.

Funny, I read an article just yesterday that democrats are getting worried that their voters simply will not go out and vote for fear of COVID-19 and Republicans will because they by and large think the risks are overblown. Plus their attempt at nationwide mail in voting hasn't gone anywhere in congress or in most states.

I think the word has been sent down to the media, "Ok, time to start wrapping up the pandemic scare-a-thon."

Best article on Covid I have ever read, hands down.

You get 10 points for finding it. But as they say in the food service industry; Presentation is critical.

Free Republic is based on short excerpts of highlights to lure the audience into reading the whe article on its site. If you do not take the time to present your findings it will fall flat.

Minus 15 points for presentation!

If only the Democraps and the media can keep their collective knees on the throat of the economy for 4 more months they might have a chance. This coronavirus is all about holding back the US economy. China started it and the democraps, RINOs, and the lamestream media are willing accomplices. Polls are the same crap sandwich Hillary tried to use to intended to influence moderates.

At that point, at least, back in early March, people were behaving rationally. They accepted that you can’t eradicate a virus, so let’s postpone things enough to handle it.

I have to disagree. People were behaving irrationally. First, they would cherry pick the expert of the day (who has subsequently changed his advice several times) and cower in fear. Seeking fear is not rational. Believing the media is not rational. Believing Democrats certainly isn't rational.

The rational thing to have done at that time is take personal responsibility for your own health. Not destroy businesses. Not cause the unemployment of 30+ million Americans. Not obliterate the economy in a quest to unseat President Trump.

The other rational thing to have done, and this remains a constant, is to recognize that you should never sacrifice freedom and liberty for security. Once you do, you don't get it back. Shame on the spineless and timid. Shame on the fearful. Shame on Fearpers.

Just talked to a friend in SC who went in for COVID test at a free community center. He completed the papers and got in line, started waiting and then realized it would be at least a two hour wait, so he left.........a week later his results came in the mail.......he was positive for COVID. This is a true story.

It isn’t even close to ending. New case growth is higher than ever before and is trending upward. Almost 138 thousand have died from Covid-19 in the US alone, with 3.5 million illnesses.

Compare this to influenza, where CDC preliminary numbers for the US show that up to 56 million people had influenza this year, resulting in up to 26 million doctor visits and up to 62 thousand deaths. This means 16 times as many caught the flu, with fewer than half as many deaths. Or, put another way, you are 35 times more likely to die if you catch Covid-19 than if you catch influenza.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

New research is showing that some people who are sick with Covid-19 do not produce antibodies at all, and that among people who do produce antibodies, most lose those antibodies by 90 days after onset of illness. So it looks like there is no long-term immunity from Covid-19. Just as with ordinary common cold viruses, you’ll be able to catch Covid-19 again (and again) even after you have already recovered.

There is still a lot unknown about Covid-19, but all of the data so far indicates that it truly is and remains a serious threat. So, unless people start taking it seriously and working together to stop its transmission, we’re in for social distancing and face masks for the long haul. This isn’t what I want—I want the virus gone ASAP—but it looks like those who want to dismiss the virus as a big hoax are getting their way and helping the virus to become endemic.

Lengthy and detailed article, but very good and worth reading! You should put a little more text from the article when you post...I almost skipped it because I thought it was just a vanity post. Thank you!

Ping! Hope you are doing well, and if you have any time for a response, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on this article. It would be easy to miss on the FR browse index. It’s unfortunate that the OP didn’t include any brief portion of it, so it appears as nothing but click bait, but I think it has some important information for us laypeople.
