Relying on Lockdowns, Social Distancing, and Masks Isn’t Working to Curb COVID-19

Of the 25 U.S. counties reporting the highest number of new cases during the current surge, 21 had mask mandates in place before August. Looking at the 100 counties with the most confirmed cases during this period, 97 had either a county-level mask mandate, a state-level mandate, or both. Of these 97 counties, 87 instituted their mandates prior to October.

Duh.

[DoodleBob]

...it is called COLDER WEATHER!!

As I wrote elsewhere, lest anyone think otherwise, we are seeing a SEASONAL RISE in cases and fatalities, and likely not a "surge" or a "new strain of the virus."

The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus. Even non-viruses gonna non-virus.

Open up the economy - the only thing that will cause an abatement is the vernal equinox.

[Hojczyk]

It is a virus it spreads...

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

It’s helped the left achieve a lot of their goals.

[DoodleBob]

Stunning, isn’t it?

[HotHunt]

DUH!!!

Anybody with any intelligence could tell you that doubling down on Covid rules that haven't managed to curtail the spread of the virus yet, won't all of the sudden start having an effect.

[Blurb2350]

Exactly, DB. And along with cold weather and shorter days comes a worsening of Vitamin D deficiency.

I just contributed to herd immunity. Over Covid. 62, relatively good health. It wasn’t as bad as a bad flu.

[Morpheus2009]

So obvious...

[Morpheus2009]

It usually wasn’t the flu that was the problem for me in two instances so much as pneumonia.

[SoCal Pubbie]

The solution is obvious. Shoot anyone testing positive for Covid-19.

[gloryblaze]

Very good news!

[gloryblaze]

It usually wasn’t the flu that was the problem for me in two instances so much as pneumonia.

Do you mean to say you have had two separate cases of Corona?

[Sacajaweau]

I'm betting that millions have already had the Covid and have immunity. Just think of all the positives and how many have not been medicated or hospitalized in any way...including 3 of my buddies.

Theoretically, those folks already have immunity and had a fully functioning immune system.

CDC is assuming that NO ONE is immune.

[goodnesswins]

Masks make people sick. Prove me wrong. In fact, IF the Cheater is installed I expect a study to come out saying masks are bad...

[jimfree]

The science is compelling!

[Steven Tyler]

We ought to try throwing virgins into a volcano....

[cyclotic]

I agree with you. 10 days ago, I joined well over a million patriots at the super-super-spreader event in DC. Almost no one was masked.

Still healthy.

“It is a virus it spreads...”

Can you finish your words above with “and goes where it is put.”

In August of 2019, Trump put tariffs in place on China. In the second quarter of 2020, January through March alone, it really sunk in when it took over $38B in business from them and gave their other customers a problem dealing with them.

China knew in advance their financial operation was going to crash and I personally believe the appearance of the virus was set up by people in this country, to make sure we got hammered with the virus.

According to the National Park Service, there are no horseshoe bats in the US. (The horseshoe is the one being blamed for the virus) And the virus has been traced to have come from the Wuhan area of China, half a world away. And they are the largest seller of bio-weapons in the world.

If that’s the case, then why are we, who have shut down the country, cut off a large amount of inbound items, and are going to extremes to contain what’s here, awarded the largest amount of cases in the world over doubling the next largest amount in a country?

United States 23,542,091
India 10,542,841

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/health/coronavirus-maps-and-cases/

Population indicates the we are the third largest country in the world for people and a long way from size comparison:

China 1.439 billion
India 1.380 billion
USA 331 million

But with all we’ve done that they don’t have the capacity to do, we still lead the world in cases. Kind of makes you think doesn’t it? It should...numbers don’t lie. We were attacked. This was no accident and it had help locally.
