Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Smokey'sHandler]

No it didn't. You're basically relying on herd immunity, something we don't even have the data on yet, to make your whole assertion.

What we do have data on is hospital capacities which in pretty much all areas except metropolis's were not near capacity or trending towards capacity when they decided to shut down. The purpose of the shut down was to not overload the health system. We cowered in fear over what was happening in Italy and what was happening in NYC instead of making data driven decisions.

Because of this there is a greater chance of a larger second wave due to there being less herd immunity. Herd immunity is the only way we are going to get out of this. Until we are in the clear social distancing and shutdowns needs to be based off local healthcare capacities. If you're shutting down out of fear you aren't saving a dang soul.

I would disagree with that and point to nursing homes as an example. When their lockdown is compromised the virus spreads rapidly. Not all need the lockdown but it does work if your only goal is stop the current spread

Yeah, it is needed for places like Nursing Homes, ICU, NICU especially

And stealing worker’s pension funds and wages for political gain and mafia connections

This is true, but if mafia connections were actually a problem, some of you may be hypocrites... Donald Trump's mafia connections: Decades later, is he still linked to the mob?

No, seems like Trump's press secretary thinks Trump's a dolt. Or at least did so until she saw that the dolt was also the gravy train's conductor.

That tweet was from August 2015 during a debate

So, with this post did you finally want to achieve one goal, that you are fing scum bag? Congrats. How do you think Biden supporters would respond to something like that. Hell, let alone anyone with a brain. Nice job. You have proven the only thing you care about. Beating Trump. You are worse then trump. And I hate the guy.

You are assuming that you could get more than 10 of them together at any one time.

As I predicted, here comes the fun with those loans.

I tried RC for first time recently and have to say it was overpriced pretentiousness

Wow, I take a break for a couple days and have to skip over a hundred pages of posts in this thread. Have we solved the rona pandemic over the weekend?

No.
We reaffirmed our belief it is bham's fault for starting this thread, though.

‘There’s no direct evidence that the lockdowns are working’

He is not the only person in the medical field who has been saying this.

He is hitting on every single point that I have pointed out in this thread and it may just be the truth vs. the general information we have been fed.

That’s not what the tweet says

I really like Dan Crenshaw

Yep, here it comes. Harvard can put this with their billions from China.

‘There’s no direct evidence that the lockdowns are working’

Note that "no direct evidence that X," does not entail "there is no evidence at all that X" or "there is evidence that not-X"

He should change the title to "latest Chinavirus - yikes"

Bringing anything from George Conway in here is embarrassing for you.

"our china town has been a model to containing the virus" What in the actual f@#k does that even mean?

 

[lawgator1]

There is a decidedly pro-Trump, anti-science, irrational bent to these recent protests, wouldn't you say?

She sounds like she's only had half of her bottle of vodka instead of the whole thing. They should always schedule her at 5pm or later.

Seeing "science" told us 240K Americans would die from this virus, I would say it's good to be anti-science in this case

“You don't need protests to convince anyone in this country that we have to get back to work.” -- Cuomo.

clearly we do

Clearly, protesting is just going to prolong this.

Tennesse prison tests 424 inmates. 150 test positive.

This stuff is everywhere. Worst scam in world history.

Imagine this scenario: let's say there's a pandemic and certain people with a special type of antibody have immunity to it. These people get tested and are granted special status because of this immunity. The immune people get special privileges and rights that others who don't have the immunity do not have access to. These people are allowed to live life just like before the pandemic.

The ones who don't have the immunity can't live life and are forced into quarantine. These people are viewed as inferior to those who have the immunity. These people aren't granted any kind of license or special status. The government has a database of these "inferior" people and keeps track of their movements, making sure they aren't violating government orders.

The immune people are viewed as more "fit" from an evolutionary perspective.

Are we very far off from this scenario?
