Last 3 paragraphs... Uncertainty, but we’re certain we must keep our foot on it’s neck. The veil is lifted. They’re talking about conservative capitalist.

Not buying their bullshit anymore. It’s a horrible disease from the CCP bioweapons lab, at risk people should stay safe. Everyone else back to work.

Right Now, They Show 'A Tremendous Amount Of Uncertainty'

As well they should. Their judgement so far has been completely unreliable.

There hasn't been anything like the COVID-19 pandemic before.

Stop that. Just stop it. There HAVE been things like this before, just not EXACTLY like this. Those things happened under different Presidents. We hardly ever heard about them, and the media never blew them up into universal proportions.

Just stop it. We "serfs" know what's going on. At this point, you're just making fools out of yourselves.

Sort of reminds me of researchers work on climate change.

They know enough about the virus now to know trying to protect the whole population from getting an infection is the wrong tactic.

Those needing protection are (a) the institutionalized elderly, (b) the elderly with any of a number of chronic health problems, such as “heart disease” and/or a long term blood pressure problem, chronic respiratory issues, diabetes, obesity, and (c) basically anyone, elderly or not, with those chronic health conditions. For the vast majority who do not fall into those categories, any Wuhan Virus infection is 80% to 90% or more likely to cause a mild illness they will recover from, and most without a hospitalization.

1. The institutionalized elderly can be protected by rules that apply to how their institutions operate, how and how often those living there and the staffs caring for them are tested for the Wuhan Virus, and rules on how, and where any of the elderly there who test positive are cared for. That does not require closing anything in the economy.

2. Those who live outside of eldercare institutions but have any of the chronic health conditions that can make more severe any illness they might get from a Wuhan Virus infection, can self protect by (a) always wearing a mask when out in the public, (b) controlling who, and how, they visit with others, (c) self-isolating in their homes, if need be, when they have others that live with and care for them. That requires no businesses be shut down.

3. Anyone who is ill with ANY illness that presents with respiratory issues can and should protect those around them by wearing a mask when they are out in public, if they must go out in public. While anyone who does test positive for the Wuhan Virus should self quarantine for either 14 days at least, or until full recovery from any illness they have from that infection, whichever is longer. That requires no businesses to be closed down.

4. Any and all business can and should have rules concerning their employees and those they meet with wearing masks. Some employers, like schools and all large institutions/enterprises ought to have mandatory rules for their employees about (a) daily blood oxygen sensing & temperature tests, and (b) when negative, getting Wuhan Virus tests. That does requires no businesses be closed.

In other words, in all cases where the ones that need protection most get protection, and where the majority are protected form the ill, rules can be applied, contextually, that if implemented do not require any business to be closed.

If we can accept the fact that 80% to 90% of Wuhan Virus infections do not make for severe illnesses, and that what we need to protect and sequester the most are the vulnerable, not the healthy, not the majority then we can make rules and conditions to prevent most of all those who can likely get a severe illness, without requiring wholesale closing of any businesses, without sequestering everyone from everyone.

Opening the economy should have far less to do with case numbers than establishing rules of behavior that will prevent as much death as possible, not particularly as many “cases” as possible.

We NEED the economy working to pay for all we say must do to help those most in need through the “pandemic”. We will run out of resources with a goal of trying to prevent anyone and everyone from getting an infection that will not kill 80% to 90% or more of us.
