Covid breaking my hopes

[BigBaldBeardGuy]

Regardless. Something tells me if your mother, father, sister, etc, became infected and died as a result, you'd be singing a different tune.

Excuse me ? Are you saying 40,000+ US deaths in 7 weeks has been faked ? I hope your not the head of a household....

I don’t think anyone is saying it’s not a deadly virus. It’s the reaction that the media had to it where they blew it incredibly out of proportion.

Since then, Fauci has admitted the model (the one they used to make all these decisions) was wrong. At the beginning at end of February they were talking 1.8 million dead worldwide (similar to Spanish flu). It’s 170,000 deaths worldwide. They were WAY off with the model.

The media is selling advertising and these “panic” stories are what keeps people glued to their TV believing the hype. At a minimum that should be changed. There’s never anything positive on the news ever anymore.

This disease is also now political. It’s divisive with states that have democratic governors claiming to be hit hardest. Republican governors want to rush things back. The government doesn’t “care about us”. They care about being re-elected.

This is simply not a serious enough disease to warrant the level of overreaction. It’s going to create a “cried wolf” reaction to the next disease that might actually BE really serious.

Definitely an overreaction, i agree. My point was the irony in all this. Shame on me for using words that could be cherry picked earlier.

i'd like to see an end to this, as would every one else. Arguing opinions of what should have been done and what should be done is pointless.

None of us have the power to make those choices. So whether any of us agree with the current plan of action or not, suck it up, 'cause arguing about it on a steroid forum isn't going to change a damn thing.

You are a master at argumentation, would love to see you say that to my face

Well the “lady” that has the power in my state to decide how to handle this use to be a man. That’s right, meet our state’s Secretary of Health, Dr Rachel Levin, formerly Dr Richard Levin.




Last week when Trump lays out the Federal plan to start reopening stuff, the next day our state says “it’s time for people to be required to wear masks to be allowed into food stores.”

FML. I haven’t voted in years but this November I’m yanking the “all Republican” lever so hard. They are using this for politics.

i just threw up in my mouth a little.

Until testing that is actually accurate or anti body tests is around, we will not know the amount of people sick. Or the seriousness/lack of or immunity.

the media is horrible they report shit for views.

people staying at home will have a less chance catching virus in this moment. More places of poverty and poorer areas are contracting the virus more.

Its so messy. People are all over the place. Something needs to happen soon.

Luckily things are opening back up Friday here

Where are you?

This whole thing is fake, regular deaths are being written up as corona virus deaths, the hospitals are empty. If a hospital says somebody has a cold they get $4K, if they say they have covid19 they get $13K, if they say they have covid19 and need a ventilator they get $39K.

They never even proved that the virus existed and now they have companies trying to make a vaccine for a virus that they never isolated and proved ever existed. All that the covid19 tests test for are some sort of "genetic material" that anybody who has ever had a common cold can test positive for. Supposedly 5g signal exposure will even make you test positive for this and that's probably what they're starting to use to exterminate us.

We better look in the mirror and ask ourselves what's going to be of the world that we're handing down to our children and grandchildren if we don't stand up and do something now. Whatever you do don't take the vaccine. They have these companies trying to create one but they've already had the real "vaccine" ready to go for a while I believe, and it may very well be the mark of the beast if you take it.

Look into this stuff.

Suckers in America, fucking land of the punks.

Then ppl scared like you just stay home... will enjoy our freedom and 0.03% chance of death

Not scared for me personally. My parents (and in-laws) are in their 70s, the old people that are part of my community, the health care workers, and anyone else compromised. These are the people that I’m concerned for.

Comes down to what you value. Perhaps you value “your freedom” more than those comprised. To each his own.

I understand what you mean but this is probably a bit stronger then a flu and if it will hurt them then it's just gonna happen regardless either now or next flu season is the way I see it but to each their own I just believe it's no way near as bad as media making it. Flu kills ppl too it's a part of the life cycle. There are 80+ year olds that have survived covid.

There is no end game for the compromised and elderly. It's a virus. It's not going to go anywhere for awhile. Those that are at risk have to be extra diligent. Those that need to get on with their lives and can do it safely need to. Unless you're suggesting we all sit inside and wait for a cure.

I see both sides honestly.

Exactly spot on man

People have died throughout history to preserve this freedom. This lockdown is a very slippery slope because it shows just how easily we could lose that freedom.

The longer a compromised individual delays getting COVID-19, then the higher likelihood an effective treatment and or vaccine will be developed.

Fauci has been quoted as saying 12-18 months. You're willing to sign up for that?
