Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

Since the Covid-19 death rate has been exhagerated by labelling anyone who died while having any type of resperatory distress a “presumptive Covid-19 death... the most reliable indicator of where we are really at is the CDC’s death from all causes rate. This peaked on April 18 and was back to normal levels by the end of May.

The following chart in the middle of the page takes a few seconds to load up. Change the meausure from Covid-19 deaths to Deaths from all causes.

This is going to get ugly:

Virginia Health Commissioner says he’ll mandate a COVID-19 vaccine
https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-news/virginia-commissioner-of-health-plans-to-mandate-coronavirus-vaccinations-once-available-to-public/

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — State Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver told 8News on Friday that he plans to mandate coronavirus vaccinations for Virginians once one is made available to the public.

Virginia state law gives the Commissioner of Health the authority to mandate immediate immunizations during a public health crisis if a vaccine is available. Health officials say an immunization could be released as early as 2021.

Dr. Oliver says that, as long as he is still the Health Commissioner, he intends to mandate the coronavirus vaccine.

“It is killing people now, we don’t have a treatment for it and if we develop a vaccine that can prevent it from spreading in the community we will save hundreds and hundreds of lives,” Oliver said.

Under state law, only people with a medical exemption could refuse the mandate.

The Virginia General Assembly is considering a bill during an ongoing special session that would allow people with religious opposition to opt-out of the requirement. The bill needs to clear a committee in the House of Delegates before the full chamber could vote on it.

Please explain why California homeless camps seem unaffected as a control group example?

Am I safer outdoors always?

We are now back on lockdown. Cases and deaths are going up. Not sure what you are talking about with “herd immunity.”

Sweden has lost more people per million than we have. They have had numerous local lockdowns-they just didn’t do a National lockdown (like us). Their death rate is much higher than their neighboring countries-look it up. Their shutdowns at the local level have lead to the worst economic depression since WWII. Stop this “Sweden did it right” myth. Look at the facts.

Sounds plausible to me.

I will toss this into the mix:

https://reason.com/2020/08/14/did-sweden-accidentally-blunder-into-covid-19-herd-immunity/

The angle of this piece is that there’s more to herd immunity than just developing the right antibodies across a population. It seems lots of people have a natural pre-existing immunity to coronaviruses in general thanks to their T-cells. Turns out these clever T-cells don’t need to know the exact genetic call sign of a particular coronavirus in order to mount an effective defense against it. They just need to know it’s in the coronavirus family, which most people have been exposed to through having had a common cold. This gives something like a 30% head start towards herd immunity. Meaning herd immunity is likely to be achieved earlier than expected in an under the radar kind of way that makes experts use words like “unexpected” when asked to explain things.
