Its just the flu, bro.
As gas_dr pointed out yesterday we are on the backside of this. Worldometer shows a pattern of dropping cases and deaths. There are probably a few ways it can go from here: 1. Steady descent and only a trickle of flare ups over the next year 2. Slow descent as it goes through the Midwest states and then it slowly trickles out in 6 months as we get closer to herd immunity 3. Steady descent and then a Flu-season flare up in November-March causing panic in those states that are prone to panicking Hard to say which is most likely but I sure hope for number 1. Scientists do say this needs 60% to be immune to get herd immunity and scientists also say NYC is only at 25% based on antibody studies. But scientists have been known to be wrong 90% of the time they have spoken about this virus. Does anyone have a forecast for how this will play out - I trust a Flubro prediction more than those crazy scientists in the U.K. who said 2.2 Million Americans would die?
Disgusted to hear talk of no school in the Fall. The paranoia is so strong with some and that is driving these lockdown extensions. I even think the Fearpers we have among us are only a fraction as nervous about CV as some people out there. Kozak et al are not nearly as paranoid and tyrannical as about CV as some libs.
Openthestates.com - anybody check it out? I dont have Facebook so I cant really tell how involved they are in organizing protests. The website has Facebook links for each state I think.

How did you get in before the ping message?

The troll was waiting to pounce.
You are a pathetic human being. You spout numbers that have no relevance to reality. Why dont you try answering some questions. Oh. You cant. It would reveal your ignorance.
As for the backside of this mountain. In the next 4-6 weeks this will essentially disappear. See Italy. This will pass and soon.
As for Fauci. Rand Paul fore him a new one. A lot of the radio yesterday didnt really cover his testimony as much more than neutral. I was surprised
The Citizens seem to be revolting. Sheriffs are refusing to follow illegal orders. We are coming to a flash point and I believe thst at we will prevail.
I am sorry to see that we have lost someone who claims to be a doctor to fear and panic. Yeah Kojack I am talking about you. Your fear and worry and use of your expertise to suppress the freedom of people on my judgment disqualifies you from medicine. You have forgotten your oath to first do no harm. You have a responsibility to society as well. The stated goal is shutdown was to flatten the curve and present inundation or the health care system. This is accomplished.
You are nothing for than a jack booted thug relishing in your perceived power to control people. You are playing God. Our oath forbids that. You have disqualified yourself as a physician.
This is not longer anything but a political football. By the time we were well into the descent of H1N1 everyone had forgotten about it.
Its time to not be afraid.
Its time to restore complete normalization.
Everyday there goes by teaches the elite they can control us and allows those not interested in their freedom to be one more day comfortable in tyranny making it closer to normal
Freedom. Now. Its the only choice.
Where do you get you statistics? That fact that you believe your statistics is disquieting. Even if true, flu caused an estimated 80,000 deaths last fall and winter (2018-2019).
So who has whos head up their @$$.
Freedom. Now. Its the only choice.
No need for a second opinion Doctor...thank you for being a true American hero... 👍🇺🇸🙏
No one said this isnt real or there wouldnt be deaths. We have stood by the bedside with the sick and dying. The point is this is a communicable disease widespread in the community and it will do what it will do. All of the hysterical overreaction will change nothing nor prevent one death but it will destroy our economy and ruin civil liberties. Fortunately well over 98% of people who contract this recover with no lasting effects
the answer to those who post the (inflated) death counts is not to challenge that people have died - they have. It is to ask them what the disasterous response has done to help that situation. NOTHING. It has however caused a great deal of harm
Breaking news here in Pennsylvania:
Out tranny health secretary quietly removed “it’s” mother from a nursing home, even as the state was putting COVID patients back into them.
Do anxiety and fear aggravate the immune system?
As a nation, is our best response to be prosperous and happy?
