Dear Governor DeSantis,
The latest analysis from Israel is that Covid-19 lasts about 70 days regardless of how we try to ameliorate it. Here's a link to the article in the UK's Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/23/coronavirus-dies-within-70-days-no-matter-tackle-claims-professor/
"...Professor Isaac Ben-Israel, the head of the security studies programme at Tel Aviv University and the chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, claims his analysis proves that Covid-19 peaks at 40 days before rapidly declining.
Major General Ben-Israel, who was also head of the analysis and assessment division of the Israeli Air Force Intelligence Directorate and former chief Cybernetics adviser to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claims shutting down major economies is having devastating consequences for little gain.
His calculations show that the pattern of daily new infections as a percentage of accumulated number of infections starts at around 30 per cent, but decreases to 10 per cent after six weeks, and ultimately reached a level of less than five per cent a week later..."
"...When asked by the Times of Israel why the disease might die away without intervention, Prof Ben-Israel said: "I have no explanation. There are all kinds of speculations. Maybe it's related to climate, or the virus has a lifespan of its own."
Some diseases are known to be self-limiting. For example, in some areas cholera dies off with the rise of a certain type of virus in the environment, which destroys it..."
Covid-19 is not a plague. This disease has not overwhelmed our hospitals; the original rational for the shutdown. And, with the hydroxychloroquine treatment protocol, we can rapidly and effectively help anyone who is affected by this virus.
By continuing this shutdown you are only hurting Florida. By continuing this shutdown you are giving aid to the political hard left who only want to destroy America. I urge you to Stop this exercise in self flagellation now.
Let us have the courage to set our foolishness aside and get back to enjoying life and creating prosperity. End The Shutdown Now. Let Florida Live Again.
We've got to do more than that. Time for conservatives to put away the sherry, turn off the harpsichord music and get out in the streets to demonstrate.
amen. We are called to have faith in God and fight!
I don’t mind turning off the harpsichord music, but not the sherry! A good Amontillado fortifies the spirit.
Most ‘conservatives’ are unwilling to get off the counch or leave the keyboard to protest in defense of their rights. Everything is more important to them than their liberty.
Is that your last statement online?
During the Tea Party era I tried and tried to get ‘patriotic’ friends to attend rallies to no avail. I eventually concluded that personal freedoms were not high on their list of priorities.
I’ve attended my share of protests and financially supported conservative causes with generous donations. How about you?
So, no. :)
You’re the one who said ‘last statement’, not me.
