Herd immunity is better achieved by flattening the curve and developing a vaccine than by Deadly Disease Affirmative Action that crashes our HCS - possibly for good - and kills 1 in 11 after that, crashing our economy, anyway.

A 100% case fatality rate, for example, doesn’t mean 100% of the people who get infected dies. It means 100% of the people who get infected AND get sick, wind up dying.

BOOOM!!!! You just proved you don't know what you're talking about!!!

I’m on my way to work shortly - I transport propane from refineries to wholesale customers in the region, so they can deliver to homes and industrial locations. My job is considered essential. Oh, and I live in Washington, today’s load goes to Portland OR.

The services which I normally use are in partial shutdown - truck stops and fuel stops. Lots of cars out still, even though things are supposed to be closed. I decontaminate everything that I touch during the day with bleach. I find myself avoiding public restrooms at all costs. My wife stays home now each day - it’s safer.

Let’s face reality here, and stop arguing over the past. The economy as we remember it is most likely historical in nature. Our entire economic model now has the opportunity- and more importantly the incentive - to realign away from China. Stocks will suffer. Those who are eyeball deep in derivatives will suffer bigly- I have the same sympathy for those folks as I do the cryptocurrency folks.

It’s time we went back to value added mining, manufacturing, and investments in physical items rather than CPA invented virtual items. Let’s stop the infection cycle, and figure out the future as it should be rather than trying to rebuild the past that brought us here. Our nations Founders had the greatest vision in human history. Let’s go back to that vision.

Yes, it will be very painful for a short time.

The only thing in life we cannot change is change itself.

Shutting down the world for 21 days would be a big help in stopping this monster in its tracks. It won’t happen because humans are big whinies. We’ll have this creature forever.

How do you even know there is immunity from this disease? This is not like a disease we have ever seen in our lifetime.

Every time countries loosen the reins the disease roars back.

Why don’t you step back, take some time and read what we are REALLY dealing with here.

It looks like some of the muggles, at least, have figured out the high tech supply chain issues...and are buying things like mad.

The others are still scratching their heads and wondering why they’re out of laptops...

The reinfection anecdotes are scary.

Either it mutates so quickly there’s no real immunity, like with the common cold...or you’re never really free of it.

My son believes that is the HIV contribution to the disease. He believes his generation will have to take medicine for this for the rest of his life. 😢

Even Fauci has said the virus is “at least 10X deadlier than the flu”. Others have said it’s MORE than 10X.

No idea why some of you seem to not be paying any attention to even the ‘basics’ on this..

Let’s hope he’s wrong.

Although I did have an idea last night that the ‘cure’ for this will be to alter human’s DNA. And that will be the mark of the beast.

Apocalyptic ideas for an apocalyptic time.

“Under Ron’s leadership FL will be the next big virus cluster .”

Yep. He endangered his state’s population to chase a few measly beer bucks.

No.

Because they and theirs are holed up at home, safely.

It’s the rest of us they want to burn through.
