This could go on for another 12 to 18 months 

 

If that hasn't sunk in for everyone I dont know what to tell you.  And all that this will mean for society, the economy, and education.

Wrong! This whole thing magically goes away the day the Media drags Biden's sorry butt over the finish line.  It is really sad what's  happened to this country. The swamp has drained out into every aspect, and isn't going away without pulling the entire system down with it.

Austin considering putting in place shelter in place rules because hospitalizations are so high.

This would be the backslide into shutdowns that people said would not happen. I sure hope Texas gets on top of things and doesn't need to do this.

 

 

One encouraging stat (if you can look at it taht way) is that cases haven't continued to rise and seem level. 

 

Do we get a prize at 1000 pages?

As far as I’m concerned this is guerilla warfare and it has to be fought every step of the way. 

 

Do you honestly believe it's a fight that can be won?

 

I don't see it. What we're going to see is what the media is driving: the scary COVID numbers borne through increased testing will shut everyone down again. People will be out of work. Unemployment jumps. Economy schitts the bed. They blame all of it on Trump. Biden wins, Dems take House and Senate, and America spends the next four years lunging toward the socialist state, while defunding police, until people are too afraid to do anything other than lay low and stay home.

 

So I hate to admit, but the biggest bullhorn wins this, and the left owns the biggest bullhorn. The country is burnt toast. It's time to fend for yourself and hope you live long enought to get to see the looks on the leftists faces when they realize they've turned the US into Venezuela.

There are lots of options. Besides the usual world ending climate change,. Or maybe Muslims/Isis?  They may opt to reopen hostilities with the North Korean. If that doesn't satisfy them its possibly Putin? Hillary was doing her best to get something going with the Russians before Trump derailed that plan.

 

Have we seen a single death from Kung Flu yet? Anything conclusive?

What the irony will be is all these weak people and corporations thinking they are protecting themselves by bending over

I'm so glad I'm in the last years of my life, in 5-10 years, America will be unrecognizable, I do feel bad for mine and everyone else's grandkids. The "mob" may not win this year, but they will soon enough, and America as we know it will be toast, I hope to God, I'm wrong but the way things are going I won't be

I think Trump wins in a landslide, the curtain has been pulled back and the dems have been exposed for the socialist/marxists that they are.

 

They allowed the riots and destruction, they killed grandmas, and violated our trust with the extended shutdowns.

 

That is not what most Americans want. 6.5 million background checks Jan 01, 2020 til April 30 2020, those are new Trump voters, because the old trump voters already had their "arsenals".

How many are asymptomatic or testing positive for antibodies?

 

How many hospitalizations/deaths, or are we not talking about that?

 

Just throwing out the big numbers from all the testing to incite panic.

 

a percentage  of the population has to get corona to reach HIT (herd immunity threshold) which is estimated at 20-40% is anyone tracking that number?

 

Lets go with 30% that means 98,400,000 Americans have to test positive before we are at the HIT. With 3.2 million testing positive we are at 3.2%

This only matters if you see the virus as a threat.  It's not a threat to anyone but the old/sick/obese.  They were caught off guard early on and that's unfortunate. 

 

Those people can choose to protect themselves for now.  The rest of us have nothing to fear.  Spread among low risk people is a plus, the more the better.

...perfect question.....we have two different employees each of which have a college age student.....both were to have electives surgeries, but they were obviously delayed.....now they have been rescheduled for before they return to school.....as a surgical precursor, both had to be Covid-19 tested and BOTH came back positive.....asymptomatic pre and subsequent post test......they never would have known if not for the surgical precursor.....wonder how many more are in the SAME boat with the number of elective surgeries delayed nationwide?...yet they would be BOTH included in the MSM's numbers hype because of political capital IMO......

No one knows any of those numbers or how long the antibodies are effective. I'd love to think we have a good herd immunity going but I have not seen any conclusive data to back that up. 

 

***

To B-Gal RE NJ, it's back into it's "normal" range today so maybe the last two days were some kind of data dump.

 

 

We could get the 7 day average back to what it was a month ago in just a few more days. A quicker turn than I would have thought would happen.

I get this. I do believe that the landscape has shifted dramatically over the past month and that the radicals are in charge or have heavy influence of the media, corporate boardrooms, academia, Hollywood, Big Tech and other entities.   The mask is off, and there is no more pretense of objectivity from these institutions.  The left has the control and they will continue to maintain control for the foreseeable future.  This isn't some short-term trend or blip, this is a development that is going to shape the American way for quite some time and we are in the opening stages of this.  Which is why I referenced guerilla warfare, which is a form of battle from smaller insurgencies against larger forces.   

 

The saving grace are the courts.  But  Biden's handlers will ramrod him into packing the courts, and if the left wins the Senate by at least a couple seats, then they're gonna do it.   I am absolutely convinced that this is the next step.

 

If people don't believe that they will then they haven't been paying attention.  They want power and they will see the courts as the last impediment to getting that power.  They will make Puerto Rico and DC a state, they will make sure that they rig the system so that they continue to win elections.    

 

When politicians always say "This is the most important elections of our life time", I always roll my eyes.  

 

BUT, This literally is the most important election of my life time.  There is so much at stake and even though Trump is such a goofy guy who can't properly articulate the risks, he can at least stop some of the madness from a legislative standpoint helping buy some time to defeat these Maoist radicals.

 

The true key to stopping these radicals is to have a national program to begin flooding the school systems and universities with educators who aren't ideologically bent.  Because right now the Universities have become a factory that produces these authoritative Marxists.  These Maoist/Marxists are littering positions of influence and we are seeing that play out today.  It has to be stopped at its roots.

Almost half these deaths are in the 4 hot spot States over the last month.  Still nowhere near NY/NJ in April.  

 

Its 500 deaths for the other 46 states.  

 

I'm totally buying the 15-20% infected needed to hit herd immunity.

Thought it was in this thread, but that was reported at least 2 weeks ago if not more like a month ago.  Can't prove protests lead to anything but sunshine & kittens if nobody can find out if anyone was actually at a protest.  (It's science.)
