It’s just the flu, bro.

The link above is from a Flubro - ConjunctionJunction. He posted it yesterday but it is good enough to repeat it today. The tweeter, @boriquagato, is worth a follow on Twitter.

Two highlights: 1. The herd immunity threshold (HIT) is overstated in many CV formulas at 60-80% infection rate because it doesn’t factor in previous immunity. Essentially many of us have partial immunity due to past exposures to other Coronaviruses. This is not CV-19 but it still provides some level of immunity. This is why the Pacific Rim countries have less CV-19 - they have immunity from the higher number of other coronaviruses that they have there. 2. The HIT is also overstated, in a sense, because the goal isn’t eradication which is what HIT is all about - it is instead more about significantly reducing the disease. This lower standard also serves to lower the threshold required to massively reduce the disease, but not eradicate it.

The actual threshold of infected people we need to essentially eliminate CV as a factor is in the 15-20% range, and definitely not 80%. This is how Sweden modeled it apparently and their model actually was pretty accurate in its prediction of how the virus would play out there.

Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.

+1,462 DEAD

+70,904 NEW CASES

156,747 TOTAL DEAD

Another day is numbers without context. Another day that you attempt to limit freedom. Another day is your fear mongering. We are all educated and can see the (nonsensical) numbers you post. Please, respectfully, go away. You are not serving your cause but hurting the greater cause of freedom and discussion.

Go to the DU where you belong. And of course, there will be no response because you lack the intelligence to engage in debate

Disgraceful.

[Laslo Fripp]

Our local school board has approved a hybrid plan to start school on August 27th. It’s a done deal, so all we can do is look ahead.

What metric should be used to determine when to fully open?

The board has promised to address that issue after August 10th.

[EEGator]

“It’s a done deal, so all we can do is look ahead.”

It’s supposedly a done deal.
Just add some fear mongering, and poof...it’s gone.

[impimp]

What metric? Just open it up fully and ignore all metrics.

6. Delay Democratic convention. Strategic take-over of nominee post conference.

Bye Bye Biden? Democrats could REPLACE Joe Biden with John Kerry as presidential candidate, claims former White House official

OPINION - Douglas MacKinnon - 31 Jul 2020, 19:23

"BEHIND the scenes, a growing number of high-level Democrats are not only increasingly worried about former Vice President Joe Biden in-general, but most especially, about his chances to defeat President Donald J. Trump in November."

Pelosi reportedly trashed Birx in meeting with White House officials

By Ebony Bowden - July 31, 2020 | 4:59pm

Pelosi (D-Calif.) moaned about Birx to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and chief of staff Mark Meadows during negotiations on Capitol Hill about further coronavirus aid, Politico reported Friday afternoon.

“Deborah Birx is the worst. Wow, what horrible hands you’re in,” Pelosi said to the pair, accusing the physician of spreading misinformation about the pandemic, the report said.

She went on to praise Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert on the coronavirus task force, who she said: “Came to his senses, and is now a hero.”

I wish the author hadn't used the word "moaned", that's just wrong!

If Pelosi be agin' her, I might be for her(Birx).

Maybe veteran Army Colonel Birx has been reminded of her oath?

“Just add some fear mongering, and poof...it’s gone.”

And don’t think that Satan isn’t already working in the minds of his RAT followers to come up with something. Then, as you said, “poof ... it’s gone.”

[MayflowerMadam]

“And of course, there will be no response because you lack the intelligence to engage in debate”

Doc: I guess nobody told Kozak that ignorant people are easily manipulated.

Re: “156,747 TOTAL DEAD”

If we counted influenza and common cold deaths the same way we count CV-19 deaths, we would have 150,000 flu and cold deaths EVERY year.

The USA has 4% of the world population, but somehow we have 23% of the total CV-19 fatalities. Does that make sense to you?

[Drago]

Because we keep better records than India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil and China? (China keeps decent records, but they lie).

[carikadon]

Thank you.

[USS Alaska]

Because we keep better records than India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil and China? (China keeps decent records, but they lie).

And our hospitals don't lie?

When they report a covid death in their ICU, they get PAID $39,000.00 FROM THE FEDS.

If the patient died from a heart attack, they get nada.

Do you think that hospital directors don't fudge the numbers?

Better records or false better records?

Please, peddle that crap with lord fachewi and kojak.

[meyer]

Or, we have a political party that has a vested interest in keeping the count as high as possible in order to institute mail-in voter fraud in November. Plus, they pay hospitals money for COVID deaths, to further influence the count.

$0 for an influenza-related death versus $39,000 for a COVID-19 related death. Which do you want on that certificate?

[crusty old prospector]

It is amazing to think that it is August 1 and this hoax is still being pimped and there is no end in sight. Sadly, I see more sheep (mostly ewes) wearing masks outdoors and in their cars.

[BusterDog]

I want to see a study conducted which looks at whether or not the high incidence of brain lesions in the asymptomatic and minor symptom folks is contributing to the increased crime, violence and civil disturbances.

And meanwhile today here in NV:

Gov. Sisolak extends COVID-19 restrictions set to expire

Published: Jul. 31, 2020 at 7:44 PM PDT|Updated: 12 hours ago

CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) -COVID-19 related directives like limiting businesses to 50 percent of fire code capacity and limiting gatherings to 50 people have been extended with no time limit, Gov. Steve Sisolak said Friday.

Directives Sisolak issued earlier under his March 12 State of Emergency order were scheduled to expire at midnight Friday night.

Sisolak signed a proclamation that extends them with no expiration.

[livius]

What the heck? No deadline for them to expire?

I thought people here were extreme with their statements that this was going to be a permanent state but now I think they were perfectly on target.

So essentially the Constitution is suspended indefinitely in these states. Can’t somebody sue or get Barr to intervene? I don’t recall the “health exemption” in the Constitution.

It is amazing to think that it is August 1 and this hoax is still being pimped and there is no end in sight. Sadly, I see more sheep (mostly ewes) wearing masks outdoors and in their cars.

I posted the below on a Pinterest photo criticizing mask-wearing and got a lot of positive comments. This a.m. the photo has been deleted by their Thought Police. I have posted it elsewhere, just to stick a thumb in their eye.
