For protecting the vulnerable, I’d say that a reliable treatment and/ or prevention would go pretty far in that direction.
If I came down with it and knew that I could go to the hospital and receive X,Y, or Z to spare me a trip to suffocate to death land, I think I’d be able to be more confident about returning to a normal existence.
I hope we’re able to get there, but I don’t really know, I’ve seen too many videos now about how this was engineered in a lab. There’s no telling what these evil bastards in China loosed on us, but I hope they get the payback they deserve.
Well now Trump stated awhile ago that the Chinese are a great people. Everyone knows their generally slightly racist, but they are at least polite about it. Lol. That racism probably left over from the long isolation period. But the problem therein lies in the fact that if just 30 % of Chinese are good souls, we are talking what, over 400 million. Lol. That would be a lot of good sent to hell. We would prefer some internal house arrests of those who conducted their biowar. That would at least be a start in the right direction.
Yep. Problem is they aren’t letting anyone in, and they’re still playing around with bugs in their labs.
If we keep letting them do this, they are going to keep doing this.
Nice. Did not think we had ACE2 in the feet. lol.

“Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.”
I checked to make sure this is Bill Gate’s real account.
Yeah well knowing the Chinese like I know the Chinese, they would likely put a military run biolab inside a front corporation building. Only military in and they dress as business people. Very difficult to spot. I guess rods from god could pancake it anyway.
Yeah right. The money spent on the Who actually has caused more deaths. I had to be the one to tell an Italian Doctor that it was airborne and borderline aerosolized. Who said not airborne at the time. Lots of Italian medical people died because of money and power abused by the Who. And that’s just one state.
More idiocy...

“... HHS confirmed Friday it would give hospitals and doctors money according to their historical share of revenue from the Medicare program for seniors — not according to their coronavirus burden.”
I don’t think that data is very significant.
Lots of data shows the virus is not fatal for effectively ALL of the healthy.
I see no reason for people to argue over that.
What matters for re-opening the economy is protecting those who ARE vulnerable to terrible outcomes from this virus.
I see no reason for people to argue over that.
I need to see that is in any plan to reopen.
Flubros and doomsters can both claim they were right. In some subgroup[s they were.
P.S. I am neither Flubro or doomster. The study was the best there was. The data was not significant? Please explain.
“Healthy”: with a 99.9% chance of surviving the virus.
A fair question nonetheless as it’s not just the easily identifiable group of the elderly that is at severe risk from this virus.
Nothing else matters besides protecting the “at risk” as far as re-opening the economy goes. Which is the phase we’re at now.
And the idea that ‘herd immunity” has been achieved anywhere is beyond silly. Although that may be attainable in sub-groups... something to consider.
Yeah, but “loose” “at risk” people are a concern. I suspect we’ll just have to depend on their families to protect them.
(I don’t think any regular on this thread is either a flubro or doomster)
Don’t get tricky on me.
My ‘numbers’ is .2% fatality rate for people under 40, which the US can easily cut in half. Maybe even for those up to 60.
I admit those “at risk” who are not easily identifiable are a problem.
Perhaps their families can provide for their protection.
Treatments US has come up with:
Care for “cytocline storm”, improved intubation protocols.
See a lot of consideration of coagulation and renal effects.
All very promising.
And the development of an RNA virus vaccine would have miraculous effects on human health.
Our St. Louis area hospitals have formed a task force, and the Doctor leading it said today that they are doing “extended” use for PPE in order to be sure that they have enough for the “surge” period-expected in 2-3 weeks.
At present, they are using about half of the available ventilators. If the surge comes in at the top of the numbers, it looks to me like they won’t have enough.
Also looking at the map, they are not including a lot of areas like our county—which only has a critical care access facility with 25 beds. Mostly the ER just stabilizes and transports.
During regular flu season this is also an issue as sometimes they don’t have the beds. People have had to wait days for the transport.
Hoping your wife comes through it all ok. I liked that part about handing out a card from the lawyer.
