Yikes .. how'd ya like to have to sign that everytime you wrote a check, etc ?!
Those that took the SARS vaccine of 2004 should be in a state of very high risk. Those that didn’t are fine. The 2 Billion dollar vaccine company Chiron Corporation was forced out of business over this particular failed vaccine.
Article is right. When someone sees ants in their house, it is silly to make much of the number seen. One needs to investigate to find out how many there really are.
Ha, ha, I always think about the current fad for having hyphenated last names. What will those look like after several generations? Will people have 6 or more last names stuck together with hyphens?
Good luck with that .. cuz it's the Trump Virus, doncha know ?!
” Given the trillion-dollar relief package proposed in Congress, it is reasonable to spend some tax dollars on testing and gather valuable data.”
Well, duh.... but we are not doing it.
Here’s the thing. Flatten the curve does not mean decrease the number of cases.
It means prolong the epidemic and space it out.
It is meant to not overwhelm hospitals not lower number of cases that will occur over the course of the epidemic.
“It is meant to not overwhelm hospitals not lower number of cases that will occur over the course of the epidemic.”
Every time I say or post that, I get negative reactions. But that’s what this is. We aren’t going to “beat covid-19”. We are trying to keep from having people die in hospital parking lots because they can’t get it.
Just like the flu, or colds, it’s going around, and many of us will be infected, sooner or later.
SERIOUSLY, TOO LATE
“We aren’t going to “beat covid-19”
Perhaps not in the sense we will have a vaccine, but that will come by next year. However there is an excellent chance we can stop it in its tracks with Chloroquine and/or Hydroxychloroquine which can if it acts with the Chinese Virus as it has with other corona viruses will stop it from replicating and by doing so halt the spread.
Tests of these drugs is going on in NYC at this time and the results should be announced by the end of next week. It has already been used to treat infected individuals with very good results.
When we permit the Democrats and their media sheep to call the tune bad, panic driven, decisions will abound. We already know that they can’t do math and that given more information will whip up more of a false narrative.
Trump has out progressived them with his suggestion of real money handouts. Now he can make them dance to his tune or look like they hate starving Americans. He can draw this one out as long as he likes and make them the bad guys. Get the popcorn!
The CDC has just been stealing our money for decades. Worthless.
Lets see 19000 cases of an Rnaught 2-3 virus each person infecting 2 people at least without the mitigation efforts seen until starting a week ago we should see between 48 to 71000 thousand cases in about a week though how many will be tested we won’t know. If we see our Er’s superslammed abruptly with people in severe respiratory distress or high fever and dehydration where we didn’t see it last week, at a time when we know regular flu rates are diminishing, and these folks are COVID positive, then the data gathered from testing finds a new clarity and the initial noise fog can be cut thru.

Yes...it’s like shining a flashlight suspecting to find roaches in your kitchen floor and yup you see cockroaches and maybe a few ants....You then spread insecticide and when you check again the next night, you hope you’ll see fewer roaches over a few days but you can’t know for sure for a while as you see an increase of numbers until the rest of the eggs in hiding have hatched and then you hope you’ll start seeing measurable declines in roaches....if you never see a decline but a sharp increase that still increases the insecticide was worthless. That is where we are at with COVID testing and virus spread mitigation...we are seeing a bunch of covid....but will there be an abrupt rise with no end in sight in which case we’ll have to try even more unpalatable measures? Or will there be a bump then a period of equilibrium of positive cases to resolved cases and finally the numbers dive towards 0%? We shall have to see.
“When someone sees ants in their house, it is silly to make much of the number seen.”
Well, America saw ants in their house and proceed to burn it down.
maybe FR needs a rolling covid-19 news thread?
Yes because we know how well the government responds to facts and figures.
Our leader always make stupid decisions. The quality of data has no affect on them.
