Yup...
we need a reboot and start over.
The recent letter many medical experts signed...
-------------------------------------------------------
Dear decision makers,
Hit the reset button.
Of all the nations in the world, we’ve had the most deaths from COVID-19. At the same time, we’re in the midst of “reopening our economy,” exposing more and more people to coronavirus and watching numbers of cases -- and deaths -- skyrocket.
In March, people went home and stayed there for weeks, to keep themselves and their neighbors safe. You didn’t use the time to set us up to defeat the virus. And then you started to reopen anyway, and too quickly.
Right now we are on a path to lose more than 200,000 American lives by November 1st. Yet, in many states people can drink in bars, get a haircut, eat inside a restaurant, get a tattoo, get a massage, and do myriad other normal, pleasant, but non-essential activities.
Get our priorities straight.
More than 117,000 Americans had died of COVID-19 by mid-June. If our response had been as effective as Germany’s, estimates show that we would have had only 36,000 COVID-19 deaths in that period in the United States. If our response had been as effective as South Korea, Australia, or Singapore’s, fewer than 2,000 Americans would have died. We could have prevented 99% of those COVID-19 deaths. But we didn’t.
The best thing for the nation is not to reopen as quickly as possible, it’s to save as many lives as possible. And reopening before suppressing the virus isn’t going to help the economy. Economists have gone on record saying that the only way to “restore the economy is to address the pandemic itself,” pointing out that until we find a way to boost testing and develop and distribute a vaccine, open or not, people will not be in the mood to participate.
Listen to the experts.
Public health professionals have made clear that even after we’ve contained the virus by staying at home, in order to reopen American cities and towns safely, we will need:
-- Enough daily testing capacity to test everyone with flu-like symptoms plus anyone they have been in close contact with over the last 2 weeks (at least 10 additional tests per symptomatic person). We currently have only 35% of the testing capacity we need to meet that threshold. The more people get sick, the more testing is required.
-- A workforce of contact tracers large enough to trace all current cases. That’s 210,000 more contact tracers than we had in April, but the number keeps going up as infections rise. Most states are far short of the number of contact tracers they need.
In addition, we need more personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep essential workers like health professionals, emergency responders, and grocery store clerks safe.
Shut it down now, and start over.
Non-essential businesses should be closed. Restaurant service should be limited to take-out. People should stay home, going out only to get food and medicine or to exercise and get fresh air. Masks should be mandatory in all situations, indoors and outdoors, where we interact with others.
We need that protocol in place until case numbers recede to a level at which we have the capacity to effectively test and trace. Then, and only then, we can try a little more opening, one small step at a time.
You should bar non-essential interstate travel. When people travel freely between states, the good numbers in one state can go bad quickly.
If you don’t take these actions, the consequences will be measured in widespread suffering and death.
We need you to lead.
Tell the American people the truth about the virus, even when it’s hard. Take bold action to save lives -- even when it means shutting down again.
Unleash the resources needed to contain the virus: massively ramping up testing, building the necessary infrastructure for effective contact tracing, and providing a safety net for those who need it.
Many of the actions of our government thus far have fallen short of what the moment demands. Mr. Trump, federal administration, honorable governors: we remind you that history has its eyes on you.

The problem is that all of the appetite for fighting this shit left as soon as cacs heard that Black, brown, indigenous, poor people were impacted disproportionately. They are more than willing to sacrifice some of Us to "save" the economy.
His mask is on his right arm.
And cacs being the lazy bums that they are don’t understand numbers. Yeah we are dying, but you guys are the majority. Your numbers are through the fucking roof. And the black folks dying are people like me, healthcare workers who caught that shit on the job.
I think white deaths are over 50,000 and they make up nearly half of the deaths percentage wise recorded. Blacks have a little more than 20,000 dead and make up over 20 percent. Hispanics are over 30K dead with nearly 30 percent.
I think you’re going to see the Hispanic numbers go up substantially via Texas and Arizona. We should dominate the Florida numbers. But it’s still cacs dying en masse though.

Yeah I saw that. It only works tho if you cover your face, and it's contaminated treating it like that. Maybe he was 6 ft away.
White boy was pissed off.
A thing I hate seeing is people touching the front of their masks to adjust it and take it off. What a country we live in.
I think some reports are saying that masks may protect the wearer from the amount of virus they are infected with and that may cause a more minor illness.
For sure. As long as Fox is making this out to be an "urban" plague they will ignore the facts and pretend that grandma, aunt, uncle all died of pneumonia. Diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure etc. put you at high risk for this shit and yet you see fat ass Southern and Midwestern cacs with all of those conditions still "fighting" for their right to spread the virus.
This isn't new for them though. My mind was blown in college when I read about how you got exemptions from fighting for the confederacy based on how many slaves you owned. One exemption per family for every 20 slaves owned. The poorest cacs dying to preserve slavery literally owned none or few while the cacs with the most slaves were allowed to sit out the fighting. Cacs have been stupid for centuries...

Viral load is something we’ve discussed before.
It’s possible that more virus your exposed to could increase the severity. However, underlying conditions still play a factor regardless.
And he was socially distant from anyone else.

I posted this in the product thread, but I'm putting it here also.
This was recommended on another forum. If you buy it please use my referral link. Disinfecting spray you make at home. It has good reviews on YouTube.

There is a WELCOME20 code if you sign up for emails for 20% off. It didn't work on what I purchased but I found CLARKS on YouTube that gave 15% off. I got the kit with 50 capsules. The last video had the code, but it's low audio so I put it at the end. The video was uploaded in Feb so I was surprised it worked. If they get a rash of orders, they might disable it. The site recommends to wet surfaces 10 min to disinfect. Can replace window cleaners etc.

Another joker on gates payroll.
That's what I was thinking. This dude has a background in math and computer science. But no medical degree.
You yourself are on Gates' payroll....... he said that you do a helluva job with the urinals.... having them smelling like lavender and all
Dude you're weird.You yourself are on Gates' payroll....... he said that you do a helluva job with the urinals.... having them smelling like lavender and all
the fact that ppl like you out there who think that the government can stop the spread of a microscopic virus by telling you to hide in your house,dont go to work,walk around everywhere with a face mask is laughable to me.(the govt is going to do this
)you really think the govt can do this stop a virus,viruses that has been part of human history for eons..
something that only harms a tiny percent of the population..
this thing can be stopped in two months if you keep the elderly and high risk at home and let the young and healthy to get it
it will simply go through them creating herd immunity and t cell immunity throughout the community.
i cant believe ppl want to mess up their immune system with a vaccine....craziness.
