ROFL.
Democrat states must be really locked down, but I don’t see it in Republican states. There are still far more people working than during the Obama Administration.
A global pandemic of smallpox happened during the American Revolution, and even killed a number of our own and the British Soldiers, we both still fought the war anyways, in spite of the deadly disease spreading all over the world at the time.
That’s the part I don’t understand, it’s when a population lacks any kind of exposure (getting sick and recovering and/or the vaccine) that makes the virus most deadly.
Where’s point 6?
Very much appreciated. These type of facts and timelines need to be posted far and wide before the leftist media makes it disappear down a “memory hole”
Exactly. In addition, if one takes into account that isolated cases of smallpox and polio still occur, the idea that the respective vaccines are a magic, “one-use-and-poof-the virus-is-gone” cure-all isn’t accurate.
Not saying vaccines aren’t a wonderful help. Just that those who are trying to force one for COVID-19 on us are relying on a pipe dream. Viruses mutate to avoid eradication. No matter what vaccine is developed, wouldn’t COVID-19 quickly mutate and ultimately render it useless?
Sorry to digress. I do agree with your original point.
I would settle for a fence around the city.
In regards to the situation for your son-in-law, it looks like the problem there is the big state government and too many regulations. As for the stores, quite a few FR subscribers have complained about being told to avoid hanging out and socializing in stores.
That action is supported by this Bonn University’s study

Maybe this whole lockdown bit was to ensure this mess could be pushed into the election. Because Trump.
Vaccines are a type of exposure. They were figured out by Dr. Jenner over the fact that exposure to Cowpox made people more resistant to Smallpox.
Start allowing hospitals going back to elective surgery and get that part of the economy back up to speed. Then allow sit-down restaurants to open, keeping customers to every other booth or table, for now.
Maybe governors can start rolling openings in counties with the fewest infections/deaths**, allowing there will be some seepage from not so fortunate surrounding areas.
