It’s just the flu, bro.
A few things:
1. Some study in the Bay Area showed antibodies are widespread and there could be 85 people who have it for every one person who was tested - good news as it shows that its lethality is about the same as the flu.
2. Texas didn’t go far enough with their announcement on reopening.
3. Healthcare workers are getting laid off or are on reduced hours - checked two clinics yesterday and one was closed and one was half hours due to reduced number of patients during Corona. They flattened the curve so much that healthcare workers are getting laid off.
From now on, I want to see terrifying, panic mongering ‘Red Death-Spread Maps” on every damn news channel for EVERY flu season, until the end of time.
Bet it won’t happen.
Can’t even find one for the current “flu” flu still going on.
So...we should spit out the cyanide capsules, now?
So you think this virus that has stimulated antibodies and thst convalescent plasma trials that are solely based on immunoglobulins from recovered cases which directly stop the illness does not portend that there is post infectious immunity.
Additionally to believe that there is no evidence of immunity flies in the face of a hundred years of well developed science and understanding the immune system.
And you post five cases in 2M which Is about what one would expect the GBS rate to be as a function of any viral infection.
So you must necessarily believe they immunologists and the entire paradigm of our understanding of the human body is simply wrong.
Go ahead and advance scare monger theories. It is simply not rooted in reality.
I have no dog in the hunt where the virus came from lab or natural. My point is and has. den that this virus is not worse than other flu and viral epidemics we have seen but it is our reaction. to it that has caused catastrophic damage to our economy and civil liberties
Truth is a natural force and knowledge is power only if it is correct. Otherwise it is a weapon and force of evil
I think you are safe to do that. LOL
Good.
It was really annoying.
;)
+One.
God no. The government and fear pets would have us manditorily chained to a wall in our house. Please. Let’s just point out their lunacy
I told someone who was arguing from emotion instead of fact (the stance of all liberals and fearpers) If you knew what you were exposed to walking down the street everyday (at least before we decided to give up our liberties) you would never get out of bed let alone leave the house.
The answer was silence. Life has risks. This response is the response we would need to take if Ebola was on the loose. Not corona virus.
And you believe that Jeff Sessions is acting as an undercover patriot.
They fought with expert timing letting the Chinese New Year do its thing.
you dont know what i think.
your post suggests that ought go down the
rabbit hole starting with pattern recognition receptors,
toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like
receptors, MyD88, TIRAP, TRIP, and TRAM, CD4+ T cells,
CD8+ T cells and the generated T-helper 1, T-helper 2,
T-helper 17, regulatory T cell, follicular helper T cell,
T-helper 9 cells, and then Natural killer (NK) T cells.
then learn how SARS_CoV-2 cripples all this.
Yes, our county in Texas reduced the number by three last week or so. We only had 11 cases. All that was listed was something like ‘a male 65, a female 70’ and we did get a precinct number of cases.
THANK YOU HIPPA since such limited information can go out. I laughed at first when Hollywood and sports let it out who had it and here in a small county, it’s buried and the person’s won’t identify!!! There was a case at a McDonalds with an employee so they sanitized and reopened.
There is no evidence social distancing and lockdown have done anything to affect the numbers. The difference in deaths may be more a function of the overall health of the population access to care etc. We have no idea what the death rate is as we have no idea the number of current cases
I like the heads I win tails you lose thinking though. If the numbers are far less than you predicted and nothing was overwhelmed then you just take credit for the lockdown working and changing the numbers without any proof it did. Anyone can spin the data in any fashion to support their point of view
Fauci says coronavirus testing isn’t everything when it comes to reopening states

So Trump has been wildly off base, and more economically reckless than any president in our nation's history?
Trumps mistake is listening to fear mongers and those with an agenda opposite the interests of the country
So DJTs answer to C-19 has been a mistake?
