Covid-19

You weren’t laughed off the stage in my books, I believe I suggested something similar. And we had discussions on Florida starting this (Jacksonville area maybe?) which was a good idea.

I recall and appreciated the support.

Quarantining the sick make WAY more sense than quarantining the healthy, which is what a lock down is.

This is not the flu so immunity would be different. It would just require boosters until herd immunity is achieved. We will have a vaccine well before the end of next year. Vaccinate the high risk folks first and go on down the list. The trials have shown it to be much more than 50% effective.

I sure hope your right. I read some of the results of the trials and see that too, but why wouldn't Fauchi be more bullish? Also if our vaccines are this close, why did Russia's vaccine claim get so quickly dismissed as fake? These things make my "bullshit detector" go off. I just can't decide where the bullshit is.

I would have to search the timeline for Fauci’s quotes so I could be wrong, but I believe he used the term “widespread” vaccine earlier. Recently I saw him say early 2021, so I imagine he is updating the timeline as more data comes in. Always better to err on side of later with drugs and vaccines of course...

Regarding Russia, there would be raised eyebrows for anyone with a vaccine this early, and because it’s Russia it creates a shitstorm of skepticism. Perhaps it is a safe and effective vaccine, but it is innately impossible to go through that process in a few months.

More fear porn: CBS reports "third wave", with cases surging in the midwest and west. The only statistic cited was South Dakota daily totals increasing 58%. OK, I can buy that, but some context would have been nice. The highest daily total cases is 145. South Dakota's population is 882,000 - 0.016%. Yawn.

Obviously a poor example with 10.7 people per square mile.

They don't like Kristi Noem. That's why they chose them as a "bad" example of how to handle covid.

Are you referring to the future first female president of the USA?

Hey libs - if quarantines and masks are so important, why this:

"New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) announced he would allow rock stars and celebrities to bypass the state’s mandatory 14-day quarantine so that they can perform at the MTV Video Music Awards next week."

Also, just asking, do any of you wear goggles? Saint Fauci recommended them - don't you guys do everything he says??

More examples of authoritarian government:

Premier extends Victoria's State of Emergency to 18 MONTHS

Premier Daniel Andrews has extended Victoria’s State of Emergency beyond September 13 - for what will effectively be a total period of 18 months.

The State of Emergency provides the Chief Health Officer with additional powers to issue directions to help contain the spread of coronavirus and keep Victorians safe, according to the DHHS.

Under current legislation, each State of Emergency can operate for only six months at a time.

“We will extend the State of Emergency provisions within the Public Health and Wellbeing act for a maximum of a further 12 months.”

Since March, the State of Emergency has been extended six times.

15 days to flatten the curve...

And more "false positives" (can't we just say WRONG?). And will those numbers be removed from the new "cases"?
