Its just the flu, bro.
After seeing Fauci get questioned by Rand Paul it is clear that Fauci is well-spoken and intelligent. He also is very educated and experienced. For him to advise on public health policy as poorly as he has means that he is 1. evil, and/or 2. A Democrat stooge. I am glad Trump is downplaying his role and I look forward to his retirement in November.
Its useful to look at how CV has played out in Italy, South Korea, Spain, and other countries that seem to be further along with diseases progression. This CV is on the way out and any talk of second waves is overstated.
Basically the R0 for this must be overstated, probably by the same scientists who said 2.2 Million will die in the US, and this leads to a lower threshold needed for herd immunity. R0 is the average of how many people catch the virus from a single infected person, assuming everyone is susceptible. The effective R goes down as the disease spreads. Herd immunity threshold = 1-1/R0. Initially scientists said 60% of the population need immunity for this disease to go away, but we are seeing a rapid decline of CV in NYC and other places with only 20% possessing antibodies.
Looking forward to Governor Abbott opening more of Texas on Monday. When a larger state like Texas opens up and everything is OK it puts tremendous pressure on those left wing governors.
If it gets to the level of a shooting war, I hope that the good people of PA choose their targets wisely. I’d prefer to see more of a mutiny type action than a shooting war.
Well, I’d prefer neither, but if the long guns do come out, they need to be aimed at the ones instigating this sudden march to tyranny.
I have come to appreciate your realistic and pragmatic analysis. Truly. I hope you and your wife are doing well.
Wow - the reaction is more deadly than the disease. The orchestrated reaction. The plandemic going as planned by the left.
I think that that alphabet character was right when (s)he stated that ‘sometimes, you have to show people rather than just tell them.’ We are being shown right now, what the left wants our country to look like and it isn’t pretty at all.
People are waking up to the fact that this virus is merely being used to try to transform our country into the next USSR. And we are not liking that one bit.
I’ve watched a couple of co-workers, pretty reasonable people normally, get hoodwinked by the plandemic right at the start, only to ease back on their rhetoric once they realized that things were nowhere near what was predicted in the tainted “model”.
Well the covid numbers are lies too. I guess you need to deal with that.

Gosh, you beat him by one second. You were faster on the draw.
How soviet of you...
Listen and obey peasants. Heel! This is for your own good (i.e. give up your will to resist. There is nothing to worry about; I am the almighty overseer, divinely given you. Therefore, shutup and never question my queenship.
Us on top have something for you—Money. From now on, underlings retain no right for self reliance and this newflu proves my point.
This is for your own good! Don’t you pay attention!
This is what my brain translates when I hear that Whitmer talk.
You know I fall almost entirely on your side. But I am going to defend Vermont Lt. His personal story is compelling. He shared it on a thread several weeks ago. I have come to see him as quite the pragmatist. I think what he says is correct as applies to the population. He has indirectly reminded me that everyone on this site is deeply engaged and passionate people. The majority of society truly dont care like we do.
I think his point is correct. 90% of people at the end of the day will wear a mask and not think of it as the violation we see
His voice is important and well rationed and probably accurate as to how the majority of people will act.
I confused his pragmatic approach for an attack. I no longer think this is the case.
I've a sister of similar persuasion. She's been a very angry scowl ever since Hitlery lost the election. Unbearable. I don't even communicate with her any more.
He is an irrelevant disruptor. Noise among the serious people. Never responds. I believe he said he is a physician. Physicians will advocate for their point if they believe it. Its clear his goal is fear mongering.
It's almost to that point with me and my sis. I hate it..
Hey, that is a Bugs Bunny reference.
Seemed apparent already, based on your other posts on the thread.
Correct.
But you catch more flies with honey than the vinegar he spits out.
With one caveat. Yes I wear a mask at work I need the employment. But when choosing where to spend my money if I have a choice of an establishment that does not require me to wear the symbol of servitude and hysteria I will spend my money there every time. In this economy that likely counts for something
You guys don’t seem to care about anyone else either.
You don’t want to social distance.
You won’t wear a mask.
You don’t care about sharing the disease with the elderly.
You won’t make a single effort not to prevent to spread of any disease because it might make you feel like less of a man.
Why should anyone give a shit about you? (Not you specifically...but the generic “flu bro.”
“Global COVID-19 Death Toll: 300,000 Global Population: 7.7 BILLION”
“That’s how sensible people view this hoax. I mentioned the same to my sis (who is a die hard marxist) and she scoffed. She loves these lockdowns as much as Kojak.”
In Cuyahoga County, Ohio (Cleveland and suburbs.) population is 1.3 million. There are less than 160 deaths in Cuyahoga County as of today. This lockdown is complete BS.
Good for you.
Much of the world will be closed to you for the foreseeable future.
I sincerely hope you don’t have a loved one in a hospital or skilled nursing facility—because you ain’t getting in there without a mask.
