Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

you dont have to like biden to listen to all the mistakes coming from him when he talks.

 

You assumed something and were wrong. Not the first time for you. Shocking I tell ya

 

Can't understand people still arguing about not having in person learning. Let those numbers sink in. This is only making the poor and minorities fall farther behind. Those are disturbing numbers, but unfortunately not surprising.

 

Germany is not doing well. It might be doing better than other Western European countries, but compared to say East Asians they're terrible.

Again, lockdown is a delay tactic, not a cure. If you don't use the time bought to do something productive, you're just delaying the inevitable.

 

thats ok, if biden wins the socialist branch of the party will buy a computer for every underpriveladged family, we pay for them of course, after all, someone has to work, cant all be on welfare.

 

When did people start mistaking ugly and mean spirited with clever?

 

Honestly Asia is the outlier to the rest of the world. Europe, Russia, South America and the US for the most part haven't been spared, even though many different things have been tried by different countries. I mean France and Italy had some of the strictest lockdowns and those didn't do anything but delay the inevitable.

 

Hopefully he gets them a computer with spellcheck

 

Here's a question for you. Why do we test PCR at anything over 35? Here is Fauci saying anything over 35 is basically not a live virus at the 4:30 mark. So why do we have states testing at 37 and 40? That is akin to telling someone they are running a fever at a temperature of 99 degrees. We need to have real PCR levels to test off of. Making thousands of people isolate and worry people who most likely don't even have Covid will cause more issues than the Covid itself might even cause.

 

following certain posters.

 

see, i really need one, just to well-off to get one for free.

 

here's a hint

 

some were holding them up as the poster child of how to deal with covid

 

East Asia is too big and populous to be an outlier. They're doing something right. I'd like to say we should learn from them, but we actually taught them much of what they know about pandemics. We wrote the book on it, we just can't follow our own playbook.

There is no one thing you can do and control the pandemic, it's a series of synergistic steps. Lockdowns by themselves merely delay the inevitable, the only immediate help it provides is to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. Mask wearing, social distancing, and hand washing reduce transmission, but won't eliminate it. Contact tracing also will reduce transmission, but some will inevitably be missed.

These steps, along with how to identify emerging viruses, how to develop tests, vaccines, and even how to conduct a proper scientific study were mostly developed here and taught to them. It's a shame that what scientists have worked so hard on over so many years were squandered by our political leaders.

Sorry, I don't know much about the mechanics of COVID testing, so I can't really speak on that.

 

And that is why certain people earn the ignore list

 

Worldometer is reporting 101,044 new cases in the US today.

Someone was looking for bets that we would never reach 100,000 new cases in a day, ever. Can't remember who it was . . .

 

it was me, but we called it off, other felt bad rooting for more cases.

 

The horror!
