This isn’t going to go over well with the data worshippers here at Free Republic.
The faster those things pop on the scene - the quicker we're back. Those things are game changers, and completely up-end any arguments about 'when to go back'.
Deaths down nearly 100 yesterday to 900.
From the vaunted Greek philosopher Anominous
Hydroxycholoroquoinine is the “X” factor. Death totals are going to vary widely depending on how well it works.
Since Fauci & Co. opposed it from the beginning they aren’t factoring that into any of their models.

... bet you the freeper data worshipers won’t mention this
Exactly. The author is string together a series of mights to postulate but he isn’t sure enough to want his name associated with this exercise of brainstorming.
...and nobody on this planet has any idea what they will be tomorrow. It could be anywhere from “hoax” to “everyone’s gonna die”.
Here's my problem.
If people are sick and have a fever and have it....give them the damn meds. This sh** that you have to be part of Fauci's study is a lot of crap.
Sometimes, like now, the data point in many directions: it's a tossup. But what I've seen is incredible arrogance on both sides of the flubro/exponential bro divide. Worse yet, I've seen more raw displays of authority bias in the past few months from people with medical degrees than ever. And none of them agree on anything. This article, as well, fits right in with that lot.
I have many great friends and guests on my national TV and radio shows who are medical experts. Half believe this is the pandemic to end all pandemics. They quote Centers for Disease Control and Prevention models that report as many as 1.7 million Americans could die. So people are rightfully scared out of their minds. American business is shutting down. But the other half of my medical friends and expert guests say this is an overreaction. They predict fewer Americans will die than during the flu season of 2017-18 that killed about 80,000 people. They don't believe we need to close down American business and lock ourselves in our homes. The problem is we won't know who's right until it's over.
“Since Fauci & Co. opposed it from the beginning they aren’t factoring that into any of their models.”
They only seem to demand peer-reviewed large scale testing versus a control group when it’s an idea that they don’t care for. If it’s an idea that they like, then “best available science” seems to do just fine. Write a check for another 2 trillion, please. And defenestrate those inconvenient civil liberties of yours, otherwise you’re a murderer.
Do you think when NY peaks, there won’t be any more spots in the US?
“The problem is we won’t know who’s right until it’s over.“
And we’ll forget who was right the next time, like we did after the Swine Flu of 1976, heterosexual AIDS of the 1980s, the Y2K scare of 2000, SARS of 2002, and H1N1 a decade ago.
I agree with it also. I want to know WHY if Chris Cuomo has it, he isn’t hooked up to a ventilator in a hospital instead of giving interviews to his comrades on CNN. It wasn’t reported that he was exposed - it was stated that he tested POSITIVE. I don’t understand. Are they going to tell us that only a certain age group needs to be hospitalized and on a ventilator? Probably someone here can enlighten me.
Check out some of the Covid-19 videos from Ecuador, where they are going for herd immunity by default, before you decide which side is right.
Major problems with this “brave” piece by “anonymous”:
1) The vast majority of our older and otherwise vulnerable citizens don’t live in isolation. Whether in family configurations or institutionalized settings, they are not easily isolated from the young and supposedly immune, going about their business.
2) The hospitalization peak by such an approach would in fact lead to a system breakdown that would furthe lead to more deaths.
3) However much of a wet dream it might be for Millennials to just disappear Boomers from their world, handing things over to management by Millennial would bring its own apocalypse.
The last time there was a downturn, the death count spiraled upward. I wouldn’t consider one day to be a pattern of anything. Give me 4-5 days of decreasing death counts, and then I’ll believe we’ve turned the corner.
Rand Paul is in quarantine because he tested positive. So testing positive doesn’t necessarily mean what? They won’t get sick? It won’t be serious enough to require hospitalization? That goes for all the other people - some celebrities - also. Test positive but quarantine and that does it?
