    Exactly

     

    For all the teeth gnashing from the national media over Ron Desantis, who btw was one of the earlier states to had community infections with logistical challenges of having tons of New Yorkers migrating to the state has had one of the best mortality rates per Capita in the country.  
     

    I live in Florida, and I can tell you that 60% of the deaths/infections are in Dade and Broward county (south Florida) and they have been in lock down weeks.  And places like Tampa and Orlando were in lock down for a while as well.

     

    Texas is almost an anomaly at this point.  The relative deaths per Capita in Texas is another test case that needs to be seriously looked at.

     

    look at Sweden, they are the only country or one of the very few that are defying these national lock down measures and their mortality rates up to now have been low in comparison.  That could change but at the end of all this there will be countless studies on what was the best approach.

     

     

    You might want to take a closer look at Sweden. Highest death rate in Scandinavia and about to radically change their measures.

    Of course not. The PRC was founded by a guy who once said about nuclear war, "The best outcome may be that only half of the population is left and the second best may be only one-third. When 900 million are left out of 2.9 billion, several five-year plans can be developed for the total elimination of capitalism and for permanent peace. It is not a bad thing".  (Mao's Second Speech to the Party Congress, May 17, 1958)

    You're mixing up the tests.  The antibody testing will not identify outbreaks - it will show if you will fight off the virus again or not.  The virus test in use right now will show if you are carrying the virus.

     

    Again, in my fantasy dystopian vision that will obviously never ever happen, like ever, how would we enforce this?

     

    If you're in the more government is good crowd, you can do like Germany and test everyone who had COVID for antibodies and issue them certificates if they do so that they can go back to work. (and restrict those who don't)

    Where are the tests? Why do I know likely positive people that have not been confirmed and who will never truly know when they're no longer infected?

    I was tested. I got the prescription last Friday morning at 10am, was tested with no wait at all at a mega 12 lane parking lot testing center that was set up in the Lower Hudson Valley, and had my results 28 hours later.

    Trump is the socialist now. To get this economy going will require socialist spending on a mass scale. Can’t deny that 

    Well if it's got to be done, thank goodness is will be done by someone who knows how distasteful it is and will give it up and go back the normal ways as quickly as possible.

    He’s doing more harm than good, down playing this, saying NY doesn’t need the ventilation units it says it does, saying things that have to be walked back, really, what’s the point of broadcasting this moron? 

    Ventilation units????  What are you think they're trying to do, cool off apartment buildings???

    That's the most ignorant thing I've ever read here and confirms my suspicion that there is no reason to ever read another word you post.

    The obvious reason is to control the black market for these scripts.  Don't want it to turn into another oxy fiasco with unscrupulous MDs and pharmacists  

    Wouldn't banning prescriptions increase the black market value and the chance that unscrupulous doctors write bogus prescriptions? It you can't get it through scrupulous sources how else will you get it?

    Germany has done an insane amount of testing per person when compared with the US. Their numbers are and should be much higher because Germany has been aggressively testing since day 1. Their death rate, though, is less than half a percentage point which is good in comparison with other countries.

    If the US did an "insane amount" of testing, our death rate would drop too. The numerator is easy to track, the denominator varies based on testing and reliable results.

    Anyone being honest with themselves knows there was a bipartisan deal done -- even Schumer touted it over the weekend -- and it was not blown up by McConnell but Pelosi when she found out some Senators were too sick to cast their vote.

     

     

    The fact that you need me to point this simple truth to you suggests you either are just being a douche canoe, or you literally have not been following the events of the week.

     

    why or?

    They didn't write this last night. This has been the plan for a week at least. 

     

    Dems are slitting their own throats. And the country is watching (because unlike previous times, they have nothing else to do)

    Who do you think was the lackey that got stuck with cleaning up these 1400 pages that Pelosi had tucked up her ass for safe keeping ??
