You can also forget about things going back to as they were before this. There will be more rules and restrictions than you can shake a stick at.
The hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior, he said. It is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something to us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less to a warrior. You are here, with me, because you want to be here. You should have assumed full responsibility by now, so the idea that you are at the mercy of the wind would be inadmissible. ― Carlos Castaneda, Journey To Ixtlan
Or Robert Heinlein, another who very well understood.
Huge fan of his, I have his entire works.
I think if I was ever in the presence of whomever wrote the screenplay for Starship Troopers I’d have to resist punching them in the nose.
“I have a hard time believing that after watching them during the numerous briefings.”
You CANNOT trust Fauci.
FBI INVESTIGATION TARGETED DR. FAUCI BUT COMEY PULLED THE PLUG.
Top U.S. scientist and research pioneer Dr. Judy Mikovits said she cooperated with the FBI during an investigation of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute of Health, alleging Fauci was a workplace tyrant who was under investigation for swiping scientific research, covering up tainted vaccines, doling out lucrative federal grants to feckless cronies and much more.

They will get back to normal because of herd immunitY.

Sadly you are probably right. But Herd Immunity takes a lot of people. Ive heard 60% of the population. For NYC that would be about 5,000,000 people.
If you look at the current data for NYC you will see that the city has already passed the .1% mark for the death rate. If it holds at something like that we would expect 5000 deaths. But if it creeps up toward 1% we are looking at 50,000 in NYC alone. Not good.

The current data for NYC on the Johns Hopkins map is 16,388 deaths.

That looks about right. They are more like .2% right now based on the total population of NYC. It will probably end up higher than that.
A real doctor and not a numbers dummy like Dr. Farce and his lackey.
I checked NYC health dept. page. ~10.5K people were confirmed positive for the virus. The other 5K or so were assumed to be positive.
NYC had an estimated population of 8.4M in 2018.
Here is a link to their health dept.

Those assumed cases tend to mess up the science. But it is what it is. I just hope it is the best data available.
My comment posted at YouTube:
I think the Dr. is providing useful comparisons, But I question his “extrapolations.” I do not believe that tests for Covid are administered on a completely random basis. People with symptoms are much more likely to have been tested, so the positives will occur more often than in a random population.

how can people make inroads on exposing farci to Trump? How come Trump doesn’t know yet that these two, farci and birx, are wicked, wrong and agenda driven? I just don’t get it since, in the past, Trump always seemed to pay attention to the details going on in the US>
bttt
wow. you’re nasty
Facts on the ground, public reaction and rejection (especially now that the rejection is based on science, not on emotion), and as mu ch time as it takes to sink in or the next crisis overtakes this one.
I think he gets it, but is not free to move about because the public is really really gullible.
Sometimes, I REALLY think he gets it (how can he not?) and other times I think he’s completely bamboozled by these 2 frauds all for the 2 pronged attack of destroying America and ushering in a vaccine.
That said, the data you are asking for is very important, and it will be very interesting to see the demographics / co-morbidity data when it is compiled and available.
I forgot to add that there are NO experts on this pandemic or this virus.
I can’t believe folks like you somehow wanna take credit for the total shutdown of society in “saving lives”.
Pure, utter, BS.
We’ll very soon see that in states, counties, cities, countries that did little or nothing...have the same statistics as places that had draconian shut downs.
I really wonder what types of people that claim to be conservatives think that quarantining healthy people, without due cause have upstairs in their heads...
At not a single point in time did this societal shut down deserve merit from actual deaths.
