One opinion, and while Covid-19 is not the flu, and the CDC estimates that influenza has only resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths in America annually since 2010, yet while the issue is why did we not see a comparative proportionate response to the Asian flu with its est. 500 million infection WW and 1–4 million deaths and 116,000 (according to the CDC) deaths in America, when the population was about half what it is today?

Many hold out hope for a vaccine...

Each year, there is a vaccine for the flu...yet thousand still die. What makes people think that a vaccine for the coronavirus will prevent anyone from dying?

That will be for a replacement of panic=control when Democrats are in control.

BS. I’ll say it again. I’m a bone marrow transplant patient. My son travels internationally. after he gets in from the airport, he changes his clothes snd I give him a hug. He’s been in and out of S Korea, Japan, Ireland for months, I can go on. I have an effed up immune system. He doesn’t have a sniffle nor do I. Why? We practice good hand washing. We learned good hygiene when I got AML leukemia and it’s kept me from getting sick.

Because Bill Gates and his whore Dr. Fauci have moved the goal posts. The original lock down goal was to flatten the curve so we didn't overload ICU/hospital staffs.

Now that hospitals are sending staff home because hospitals are nearly empty, it's time to get the vaccine registry scam going. Want a driver's license? Want to get on an airplane? Want to keep your job?

You'd better have your vaccine registry up to date. You will take what vaccines they tell you to take, or else.

I was talking to a DemonRAT voter the other day who has the SF whore ex-presidential candidate bumper sticker on her car and she was all in favor of a national vaccine registry. I asked her which is better, natural immunity or immunity from a vaccine?

Of course she picked vaccine immunity. Many Americans really are that dumb.

She wouldn't even take into consideration the fact that Pharma has immunity- from lawsuits.

There are three people who are NOT going to get vaccine immunity: ME and the two guys they send to inject me...

New Zealand has just gone from Level ...

That means the schools are open so that children of workers have somewhere to go they will have class....the rest don’t have to go back to school until its mandatory at Level Two...

Also now my brother in NZ can visit and hug his children and grandchildren for the first time in 4 weeks... only family members...

The lockdown in NZ was house arrest...They didn’t have the freedom we have here in TN...we could leave home whenever we wanted to...

and its not winter out there as yet....

'Paid for the damn virus that’s killing us': Giuliani rips Fauci over grants to Wuhan laboratory

by Madison Dibble | April 26, 2020

According to a report, the U.S. Intelligence Community has growing confidence that the current coronavirus strain may have accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology rather than from a wildlife market, as the Chinese Communist Party first claimed. During a Sunday interview on The Cats Roundtable, Giuliani questioned why the U.S. gave money to the lab.

"Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited! Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory — even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans," he claimed.

He added, "We never pulled that money. Something here is going on, John. I don’t want to make any accusations. But there was more knowledge about what was going on in China with our scientific people than they disclosed to us when this first came out. Just think of it: If this laboratory turns out to be the place where the virus came from, then we paid for it. We paid for the damn virus that’s killing us.”

It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

That is good, though somehow that would be construed as racist if proposed as a solution.

Yep... For us old folks (my wife & I) this chicom sneak attack has cost us:
  1. Hugging lots of grandkids and great grandkids: Extremely Important;
  2. Casino access (Wife-Slots;Me-Craps): Very Important;
  3. Doctor appointments (Wife every couple of months-Heart): Important;
  4. Bass fishing: Slightly Less Than Important;
  5. Target practice (Just me): Not Too Important; and,
  6. The nightmare of taking the wife grocery shopping (Called binge label-reading): Who Cares?-Not me!

From the article:

“Herd immunity is when people who are prone to the milder forms of this infection get it, get over it, get antibodies and are immune…if I have antibodies, I can’t get it and I can’t give it to you, so it doesn’t matter if you’re vulnerable. If we shake hands you won’t get it from me.”

When enough people have antibodies, the virus can’t get through the population. “It finds it harder to get through to a host where it can survive and it dies out, that’s herd immunity,” Dr. Katz told Levin.”

Who was it claimed that people couldn’t get immunity from the c-virus?

What makes people think a safe/effective vaccine for the coronavirus will ever exist?

I’m glad that only your wife’s doc appointments and some of your important leisure activities have been affected by the Chinese virus-but for myself and many of my neighbors-we are all over 65, healthy and own/work our one-and two person businesses-mostly construction and mechanic work-we have been hammered by a loss of income by this lockdown, when things were just getting better after the Obama crash-quite a few of us think we might have had a mild case of it in March before we had started wearing gloves to gas up our trucks, getting stuff for work in the city instead of ordering it delivered to us here, etc-we stayed home, took natural remedies, got better in a week or so and probably have some local “herd immunity” now-the very few confirmed cases in the county were all traced to travel to either the SA or Houston area or out of state-those people recovered at home.

Since this is not a crowded city, and most of us do local business only-let the rural businesses get going again-let our customers open their hair salons, farmers’ markets feed stores, tourist traps, etc-we are already developing immunity-most of us never even get flu shots or take drugs, so let us get back to making a living-I’m sick of living like I did as a broke college student, counting every gallon of gas that goes in my 4x4 and doing without any item not a necessity the only thing missing this time around is that damn hamburger helper, ramen noodles and other dorm food...

Inferring people become infected thru poor personal hygiene would be construed as racist if proposed as a solution. By a conservative (not that I am fastidiously clean).

Only one when an election depends upon it.
