Certain posters on here would sell their left nut for Covid to be half the disaster they claim it is. 
 

 

If they had any nuts!!!

 

 

Looks like Florida, Texas and Cali are starting to burnout and numbers are dropping. What will they cry about next

We see what happens with inadequate testing, rapid reopening, social distancing/mask skepticism, and minimal contact tracing. Congratulations: With all of those things, cases went up and we did not get on top of things.

 

 

The feds didn't unite the country in a plan, states decided not to follow the CDC guidelines, and we now have little choice but to just let it run. Good "plan."

 

 

Yes. A united effort would have made things much better. The division sowed around this disease was largely avoidable. 

 

 

You start a lot of sentences taking credit for pretty obvious statements. You also take credit for making predictions you didn't actually make, as I quoted a few weeks ago. Humility is OK in a pandemic, though I know muscling up on a message board, especially this one, is the preferred posture. I can do it too but what's the point except to make yourself feel better. 

You’re blaming the feds but this is happening everywhere.  Japan is having a resurgence and you won’t find a more obedient society anywhere.  
 

Seems it will play itself out.

people on the main board sound positively gleeful about the Marlins situation.   It’s bizarre.

I can't think of anyone on this board that has been as wrong on what they believed to be the case when it comes to COVID-19 as you have.

 

You essentially parrot mainstream media analysis.  You've been proven wrong time and time again.   It is what it is.

 

With that said.

 

Florida is really beginning to show signs of promise.  I'm thinking they have hit their peak from a prevalency pov. 

 

 

 

And Arizona looking better by the day.

What I talked about months ago, still stands today.  Protect the most vulnerable, practice some common sense precautionary measures and reopen the economy fully.   

 

At this juncture, I think it's pretty clear that people still urging shutdowns are doing so for reasons other than the virus.

 

It's time to reopen.

When you consider both sides of the ledger, there is only one rational decision when it comes to opening or not.

I think you have identified the problem: rational decision. People have been anything but rational. Some people still have not left the house in 4.5 months.

I would bet that at least 90% of them are anti Trump.

They are anti data and clearly are not looking at the overall picture.  That and of course that they are partisans.

There's a thread on this board about Dr. Fauci helping to create Covid 19.

You know who is behind the resistance to opening when you hear that people who don't believe masks help are suddenly "anti-maskers."

 

No one can label a group for mocking quite like the Democrats.

Influenza is cyclical and I think there is a chance that this will be as well....Not to mention the hot and humid weather of the summer which should not be underestimated.  When you combine that with some of the therapeutics that I am almost certain that we will have available in the coming months, I think there is a solid chance that we will see declining numbers.   

 

Right on!

HERE’S HOW THE MEDIA FANS THE COVID ‘SURGE’ MYTH:

 

When they told you “173 deaths occurred” on a particular day, odds are they are not telling the truth. 

 

Issues & Insights explains the chronic misrepresentation at the heart of the “surge.”

I just hope those aren’t temporary drops giving people a false sense of hope.

WAIT, I WAS TOLD THAT #CORONAVIRUS WAS ONLY STILL A THING IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE #ORANGEMANBAD: 

 

France, Spain, Germany Suddenly Facing New Coronavirus Surge. 

 

It’s looking like it’s going to do what every pandemic in human history has done, which is burn through the susceptible population until it burns out.

Should be an interesting paper. I wonder if they studied all types of face coverings, and if they have useful or useless designations based on the type? IOW are some masks helpful?  Do N-95s work against the virus?  Are regular hospital masks helpful? Disposables? What about bandanas? What would have to be developed to make them useful (assuming nothing we have now helps)?
 

Face-Mask Photo Op Adds to Bewilderment Over Non-Use in Denmark

All these countries recommending face masks haven’t made their decisions based on new studies,” Bundgaard said in an interview in Copenhagen.
 

He says there’s evidence to suggest that the only effective face covering might be a visor, because the virus can spread through all mucous membranes, including via the eyes. He worries a cloth covering that only protects the nose and mouth provides a “false sense of security.”

Bundgaard’s study on masks is due to be published next month. In the meantime, he says he hopes they don’t become mandatory in Denmark.

I hope this study includes an arm of real world mask usage, the way most people improperly use masks as they move about in public, to compare to both an unmasked and ideally worn mask group.
