It’s just the flu, bro.
Latest from CNN website is that scientists think that CV will not stop until 60-70% of the population gets immunity, at which point herd immunity will develop. The threshold for herd immunity goes up as R0 goes up. Some say the range for herd immunity is as low as 29% and as high as 74%. But the notion that a virus won’t fizzle out until herd immunity develops isn’t controversial. The controversial part is that these scientists/activists say that we should use “mitigation” techniques for up to 2 years while herd immunity develops.
Isn’t that sneaky what the scientists did? - the expert/scientist talks intelligently about one thing (herd immunity) then he magically extends his expertise to public policy advocating for a certain position (extended lockdowns and restrictions on business). This is exactly what global warming scientists do. They will research something and say, for example, that the ppm of CO2 has gone up a certain percentage, therefore, everyone who drives an SUV should be castrated so that we have fewer people on the planet emitting CO2.
Trump tweet half an hour ago.
The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.
Well, you stole his thunder.
For such intelligent people as our teachers are purported to be, learning to code should be no problem at all.

I’m already hearing stories of meat shortages thanks to the timely articles about closing some meat packing plants. Probably the same people who hoarder the toilet paper.

Hello, Feinstein.

“There may be no better time to do extreme surgery to the federal government than now. This would be a most excellent time for EPA, NEA, and a bunch of non-essential and unpatriotic federal departments to close down permanently. Blame it on the plannedemic. Never let a crisis go to waste.”
Excellent point.
I would love to see Trump Cloward-Piven them by ceasing operations by Executive Order (in the name of WuFlu “mitigation”) of the Civil Rights Section of the Dept. of Injustice, the Dept. of Education, Fauxcahontas’s phony Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, etc., etc., ad infinitum. Cut grant programs studying the sex lives of mosquitos, why lesbians tend to be fat and homosexuals tend to be thin, etc., etc.
Never let a crisis go to waste.

Remdesivir still shows promise, maybe....

Gilead Sciences - It’s almost like they’re an acqui$ition firm or something (and make Tamiflu too)
The company’s primary therapeutic focus was in antiviral medicines, a field that interested Riordan after he contracted dengue fever.[10] Riordan recruited Donald Rumsfeld to join the board of directors in 1988,[11] followed by Benno C. Schmidt, Sr.,[citation needed] Gordon Moore,[11] and George P. Shultz.[11] Riordan tried to recruit Warren Buffett as an investor and board member, but was unsuccessful.[3]

In January 1997, Donald Rumsfeld was appointed Chairman, but left the board in January 2001 when he was appointed United States Secretary of Defense during George W. Bush’s first term as President.[12]

Remdesivir was developed by Gilead with over $79 million in U.S. government funding.[73]

Gilead has also been accused of price-gouging on other medications developed with public funding, including AIDS PrEP drug Tenofovir and hepatitis C drug Sofosbuvir.[76]

“When asked who his personal heroes were at the October 1988 presidential debate, **George Bush** replied, “I think of Dr. Fauci. You’ve probably never heard of him. He’s a very fine researcher—a top doctor at the National Institutes of Health—working hard, doing something about research on this disease of AIDS.”

PEPFAR
Launched by U.S. President George W. Bush in 2003, PEPFAR has provided more than $80 billion in cumulative funding for HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention, and research since its inception, making it the largest global health program focused on a single disease in history.[1] PEPFAR is implemented by a combination of U.S. government agencies in over 50 countries and overseen by the Global AIDS Coordinator at the U.S. Department of State.[2]

Obama calling Dr. Birx
“In 2005, Dr. Birx moved to the C.D.C., where she remained until Mr. Obama appointed her to the State Department.”
“Dr. Deborah Birx was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014 to lead the government’s fight against the global AIDS epidemic.”
“For the past six years at the State Department, Dr. Birx has, among her responsibilities, overseen the Presidents’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, created in 2003 by President **George W. Bush** when antiretroviral drugs saving lives in developed countries were not available in other nations.”

Liar.
Afternoon traffic yesterday (3 pm to 4pm) was the heaviest since the BS.
At 6 pm ish, we went to place with several restaurants to pick up an order. No one/customers were wearing masks while waiting to pickup their order.
Many people were eating in their vehicles after picking up their dinners. Some were walking towards the downtown area and eating while walking or carrying their dinners.
Walkers were everywhere, we saw 2 people with masks.
Newscum has many cities ready to spit on his B$, and LA county is saying gfys.
Our counties along the Oregon border are doing what they did before Newscum’s B$.
Many of the quote non essentials to Newscum in Contra Costra county are openingly doing business. Some of the owners and their staff are wearing masks or have them if a customer wants a mask.
Many so called non essentials will be opening for business this weekend and big time on Monday. I plan on having my hair sheared this coming week.
Sweden demonstrates the false nature of your if we didn’t do anything it would be worse argument
Not a shred of evidence to support your statement
Here in Washoe County (Reno/Sparks, NV) there have been 30 deaths, the first one on March 29th.
The population of this county is about 472,000.
All the deaths are all briefly acknowledged from KOLO-TV website per the Washoe County Health Dept. They are cumulative from March 6th, see and count for yourself.
Here ==> Washoe County COVID-19 Updates:
Of the 30 death cases 25 of them had "underlying health/medical conditions" or comorbidities.
The remaining 5 victim's status was that of "being investigated," no further information except their ages were listed in their decade of age, exactly one each: 50's, 70's, 80's, 90's and one in the 100's.
So the chances of all 30 of them dying from the CV no matter the circumstances are about .0064% in this population.
The chances that the 5 who are being 'investigated' (4 of the 5 are elderly) assuming they are perfectly healthy would mean that the CV murdered directly about .0010% of the population of this county.
Or said another way, about 1 chance in a 1000 of 1% that this virus would make one a causality.
If you are a real skeptic and assume the 5 victims "being investigated" did have some other medical issue not diagnosed or untreated prior to their hospitalization, home or nursing home, by extrapolation the virus did not solely kill anybody in this county that did not have "underlying health/medical conditions" so your chances of dying as a healthy person would be 0% or close to it.
And no doubt there are dozens of other counties out there just like this one.
Texas begins to open up today.
Interesting. He throws the data and didn’t read that it had been reported up thread. We now know he doesn’t read anything just peddles his bulsh*t
