Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Everything, starting this Monday past with a 12 person, non political team of fact based scientists and specialists advising the President elect on how to mitigate this pandemic.

I'm not saying Biden's team is right or wrong, but doing something is much better than completely ignoring the obvious like the outgoing administration.

You're right and the studies back it up:

"The absence of testing increases the economic costs of the lockdown, and shortens the duration of the optimal lockdown which ends more abruptly."

The policy of only testing someone who traveled to China not only cost US more money but restrained the function of the lockdown.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

LOL!!!
You mean the same team that says “we need to lock down for 12 - 18 months to stop the virus.”?? (Worked out sooo well for the countries that did. Not!)
Or the team that has a member who says “people shouldn’t live past 75 years old”?!? He even wrote a book that’s titled ‘Why I Hope to Die at 75’!
The team that says we should distribute a vaccine to the rest of the world first, while only holding on to enough to keep us below a certain infection rate threshold??

If we’re talking about “fact based science”, why is it that they (Biden’s “‘team’”) have such a drastically different (nearly contradictory) “plan” than other highly regarded and respected scientists/ immunologists/ doctors/ experts???
Who’s actually right?!?!?

144,429 people were diagnosed as COVID-19 positive in the USA today! Over 1M people per week! An all time high!

This means that every week there is a 2% chance that you personally will be infected by COVID-19. There is almost a 100% chance that you personally will be infected in the next year if the USA cannot bring this pandemic under control.

Yes, mandatory wearing of a mask and lock downs are coming.

New York state has ordered that all bars, gyms, restaurants close by 10:00 PM starting this Friday. Offending businesses after the second warning will have their business permit cancelled.

COVID-19 infections are flaring up all over the world.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

"Doctors without Borders" are sending their medical teams to the USA because this fine organization, which I personally donate $10.00 per month to, feels that America is the most pressing humanitarian crisis in the world!

MSF's response to COVID-19 in the United States | Doctors Without Borders - USA

Usually "Doctors without Borders" spends their limited money on helping small African nations fight disease or war torn countries citizens recover from horrible wounds.

MAGA what a pile of baloney that 72M US citizens fell for in this recent election.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Dr. Fauci turned out to be a total fraud. Before the election he painted a dark picture moving forward on the corona front. But now he says:



Fauci: COVID-19 won’t be pandemic ‘for a lot longer’ thanks to vaccines


Everyone knew the vaccine was close. But like Rham Emannul said: "never let a good crisis go to waste."

Democrats were very effective at making folks believe that there was no hope unless they took office.

Told you this was gonna happen.
Fauci: COVID-19 won't be pandemic much longer due to vaccines

Fraud How so he predicted a huge problem this fall Guess what it's here with record cases of infections.
Just because we get a vaccine doesn't mean Covid19 is gone or You won't still get infected.

Trump plan is infect everyone and if you die so what.
Americans rejected that plan and elected a new leader to combat the virus and a new direction for the country.

With 240,000 DEAD AMERICAN'S my cat could do a better job than the Trump Administration.

My point has nothing to do with Trump or the number dead. It has only to do with Fauci painting a grim picture moving forward. Hey, man, politicians use fear to win elections and get what they want. That's all politicians....not just dems.

The narrative could have been that covid will be coming to end very soon. Instead, dems convinced folks that there was little hope unless we implemented the Biden plan. There's no need for his plan. The vaccine is the silver bullet.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Look, a lot of viruses aren't eradicated. Tuberculous is still around but how many people do you see walking around with it? That's not the point.

The point is:

This was not the message put out before the election by democrats. But we all knew the vaccine was very close.

You do have a point that Fauci said we may need a plan moving forward (until the end of time) to keep the virus under control. Personally I'm not buying it. What kind of plan should we implement until the end of time?


As far as anyone refusing to take the vaccine...I support their right to refuse it, but they need to know the potential consequences.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

We are not having a TB endemic, straw man comparison. I was just pointing out that the doctor believes the virus will be present at possibly endemic levels for some time regardless if the vaccine is on the near future. I am sure not everyone read through it.
