Since we reviewed the key knowables and predictables about Covid-19 in April, new points have emerged. Sewage studies and patient samples seem to show the virus was circulating in Europe and South America before an outbreak was officially recognized in Wuhan.
Lockdowns might or might not have been important contributors to suppressing eruptions that overwhelmed hospitals in the Chinese city, in New York, in Northern Italy. These episodes are not well understood. The hospitals themselves may have been a progenitor of local spikes. The mandatory closing of local businesses is hard to disentangle from the steps people were already taking to protect themselves.
Anybodyan individual, an entire countrycan avoid communicable disease by avoiding contact with any carrier. This was an obvious starting point and yet has not proved useful or practicable information for many people and most countries. As Bloomberg News recently acknowledged in puzzling over why Italy is not currently experiencing a resurgence, experts remain stumped by doubts over what exactly is effective.
Lockdowns at least are universally understood, even by the media, not to be a solution to the virus. Governments need strategies for coping while still having an economy, so people can eat and sustain themselves and receive services. Something else to get realistic about: Large classes of people, like the young, are at relatively low risk. By the laws of human nature, they will start behaving as if the disease is not a serious threat to them personally.
Countries that apparently suppressed Covid with strong measures to keep people apart now are experiencing outbreaks once people no longer find it tolerable or acceptable to be kept apart. Epidemiologists, to reconcile a desire to have both minimal spread and an economy, pushed aggressive testing, tracing and confining as the magic pill.

Probably will end sometime after early November....
You’re not the only one to think that. ;-)
Like 100% of all viruses that have come before it.
But the exalted Pooh-bah says otherwise.

The FauXi goals:
Flatten the economy.
Stop the spread of Trumpism
Eliminate FREEDOM.
Including AIDS.
The election infection.
where is accountability against CDC and FauXi and Xi
and SoroXi and GateXi for making this ATROCITY?
and then committing GENOCIDE BY THEIR PATENTED VIRUS??
oh. so sorry.
there is no accountability, is there?
Yes, and every other one that has ever existed.
The influenza virus which caused the far more devastating pandemic of 1918-22 is still around.
Flu, Syphilis, Common Cold Plague....
Very good, I like that and believe you are absolutely correct.
Virtually all viruses are with us forever, and occasionally will become a problem. But after the first flurry, they usually settle down because a population as a group develops some level of immunity and because the viruses become less deadly, since its not in their best interest to kill their hosts.
There has never in history been such an insane and destructive and pointless overreaction to a disease, even diseases that were much more lethal.
Its got to stop NOW.
Hasnt more money been spent fighting Anal Intrusion Death Sentence than every cancer combined except breast cancer?
Even the libs at work are thinking this!
Bingo
We will be living with the virus indefinitely.
Like 100% of all viruses that have come before it.
Apparently, not just the ones we are exposed to, but maybe every virus our ancestors were exposed to.
Also, every flu shot we had, is with us for the rest of our life and probably our DNA descendents.
New York hospitals were not, I repeat not, overwhelmed. I’m sure that since you could not get the basic facts straight you will understand that I could not spare the time to read the entire article.
I have seen that in the mountain tourist area of Californian where I live. Record number of visitors this year, mostly in their 20s and 30s. As soon as the National Forest closed down two weeks ago due to the nearby fires, most of them left and our Covid infection rate went down.
Except smallpox.
And all you “non-essential” people, please just die.
Syphilis and plague are both bacterial diseases.
