If Biden is elected, it will disappear.

If President Trump is re-elected, it will drag on forever.

What? Is there another one of those Asian viruses going on?

Let me know when it’s over.

the virus refuses to leave us alone.

No. The Leftist media refuses to leave us alone. Any sign that "normalcy" is returning before the election must be quashed.

Thanks! Unfortunately my tyrannical governor in CA is keeping schools closed until the CASE rate goes down, not the DEATH rate. So even when the death rate falls to zero, the schools will remain closed until my county has 14 consecutive days of declining cases (and under 80 cases to begin the countdown).

Mask wearing is just extending it hanging around. I think we are all going to get it eventually; I want it while I’m in a healthy enough stage to successfully fight it off, like a bad cold, not during cold and flu season.

Actually, I don’t want it at all

I'm not so sure of that. If he's re-elected it will mean that the whole fiasco didn't work as it was intended, and they'll take a different tack. My best guess is something on the order of assassination (heaven forbid).

It’s the first political virus. Traditional medicine won’t cure the virus. The virus is affected by the political climate. The cure will be implemented by democrat political victories. Just as the infection and death rates are manipulated to show higher results, if democrats win, the infection and death rates will be manipulated to show an amazing drop.

I predict it will be over either way. They will have nothing left to gain from continuing if Trump wins.

“now we know about asymptomatic transmission”

I’ve yet to see ANY evidence of asymptomatic transmission. On the flip side, I know of two spouses of asymptomatic people who didn’t catch the virus while living and sleeping with the asymptomatic people!

‘If President Trump is re-elected, it will drag on forever.’

I don’t think so; Trump’s re-election would mean that the covid political attack failed, and continuing the doom and gloom media portrayal would be useless going forward; the progs will come up with some other gambit, more geared to republicans as a whole, with the intention of total elimination as its driving force...

plus, I don’think progs like being deprived of fun and games any more than anyone else...

‘I’ve yet to see ANY evidence of asymptomatic transmission.’

amen; much hardship, mental and financial, has been backed and justified on this notion of asymptomatic spread...

At this point medically, Covid is a nothing burger, no different from seasonal Influenza; the elderly (or any other age group) can be diagnosed and treated for this with usually good outcomes...

However, the Covid Crisis will only cease after the ABCCBSNBCMSNBCCNN Leftist Liberal Media drops the story...

Right now, there is enough phony data of “Covid Cases” to allow this media club to continue slamming the head of DJT up until the election...

This Covid political violence will only start to recede on November 4th...

“I predict it will be over either way. They will have nothing left to gain from continuing if Trump wins.”

Disagree. They play the long game. They want to keep President Trump hamstrung so as to be sure they win in 2024. That’s why there will be impeachment part II if he wins.

‘Mask wearing is just extending it hanging around.’

I don’t think mask wearing is doing much of anything, regarding the actual virus; regarding how people react to each other in a (supposed) crisis situation, masks have been very informative...

If Trump wins, the Democrats will immediately start impeachment hearings on how Trump “mishandled” the Covid outbreak. This impeachment push will last longer than the pandemic itself.

"I’ve yet to see ANY evidence of asymptomatic transmission."

What about the recovered asymptomatic elderly who still tested positive and were discharged from a hospital and sent to Nursing Homes/Assisted Living by Governor Cuomo in New York? Am I the only one who remembers by doing that Cuomo cause hundreds of deaths? Or is that a myth?

So I guess a BeeJay is still okay then?
