Its just the flu, bro.
It looks like in much of the world the criteria to end the lockdown revolves around the percentage of tests that are positive. The WHO recommends the lockdowns stay in place until the percentage of positive tests goes below 5%. According to Johns Hopkins much of the US is over 5% except for much of the Northeast which is under 5%. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states/connecticut
The issue with these tests is that perhaps 90% of positives have so little virus that the person is both asymptomatic and not contagious. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/news/science/is-your-coronavirus-test-positive-maybe-it-shouldnt-be-/amp_articleshow/77831794.cms These tests are too sensitive and provide false positives. This is causing needless quarantines and, going back to the paragraph above, causing a continuation of the lockdowns. Republican governors are so scared to reject the science that they are holding to nonsense WHO standards and faulty CV tests.
I just want a Republican politician to say that he rejects the science because the scientists are full of crap.
You need to edit it in html

Hydroxychloroquine is safe if you watch what other medications you take and your overall health
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have major drug interactions with other medicines that can put a person at an even greater risk of an abnormal heart rhythm. For example, a commonly used antibiotic, azithromycin, is also being investigated for a possible benefit in treating COVID-19, but it has a known major drug interaction with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Whenever a new drug is to be added, the risk versus benefit of a person’s existing therapy must be re-evaluated. In some cases, usual medications can be stopped temporarily, and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine could be started. In other cases, it would be harmful to stop usual medications, and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine could not be used.
Each situation is different and has to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Then add a bracket at the end?
So you are saying that globally the total number dead in your opinion is not 800k but 50k globally. Is that what you are saying?
Nite that a lot of diseases also kill people with underlying illnesses. Covid just makes it more likely those will die.
The 94% would have survived this time if there was no Wuflu
Yes. Remove the space between < and a

Herd immunity is commonly considered when 80% of the population has been infected. Some say 50% . Yet the usa is nowhere near even 50%
Hardly a hoax. Most of the world went on lockdown
It was a very effective hoax.
Wrong. Antibody only herd immunity uses high numbers. If there is T cell immunity simultaneously present (which we have), then the antibody herd immunity number plummets - most say 20% applies here.
You have a very March/April opinion on this - we are more sophisticated now.
I will try this method thanks.
You’re preaching to the choir on that one. BTW, because of a minor heart condition I picked up a few years ago, I can’t take HCQ.
But I just drink lots of coffee (my normal condition), so I’m not worried. It’s probably why I already rarely get the flu or colds, and when I do it is a minor thing.
I nursed my wife for four weeks with a case of the flu that almost killed her two years ago. I never showed symptms.
Would you like to restate the question with “of covid only”?
I didn’t think so.
That would be like cancer onlyor aids only. Covid is the key factor that killed those 190k
You don’t think?
Even if we are talking 20%. That is 70 million Americans. We aren’t anywhere near that number
Putting a balanced view. It can cure, but it is dangerous if people take it without checking possible complications related to them as individuals
Actually we might be close to that number...I have read estimates from several sources that the actual number of people in the US that have had (or currently have) COVID-19 is tracking at about 10x-12x the currently tested cases count (6,211,796 tested positive cases for the US). So maybe about 68 million that have already had COVID-19 in the USA. (20% of the current USA Pop. is about 66.27 million people).
