David Wallace-Wells, NYMag: We Are Probably Only One-Tenth of the Way Through This Pandemic
We are, finally, beginning to see some real plans from people with the power to enact them. On Tuesday, California governor Gavin Newsom unveiled a sort of road map for a gradual “reopening” of the state — including benchmarks for testing and hospital capacity, and continued social-distancing guidelines and even temperature checks. A handful of serious, sobering national proposals have been put forward by think tanks and the like in the U.S., and the White House has produced a set of guidelines to govern a gradual, region-by-region pullback from full-economy quarantine. In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced a similar blueprint (and gave a memorable illustration of the terrors of exponential growth in a pandemic). Coming alongside news from hot spots like New York that new hospitalizations and even deaths may be plateauing or even declining, the plans are a little flicker of light at the end of the quarantine tunnel. Indeed, over just the last few days, Americans have grown less worried, and more optimistic, about the coronavirus pandemic.

WNU Editor: Historically speaking pandemics take a year or more to burn themselves out, and where "herd immunity" can then dominate. That is why no one should be surprised that a new wave of cases are now appearing in Asia and Europe, and this may be the case for a year or more. There is also the real fear that this virus may mutate into something even more dangerous, thereby making any attempts to develop a vaccine quickly next to impossible. I call this the nightmare scenario.

There already is more herd immunity out there than is recognized or acknowledged.
Surveillance failed. COVID hit the US in November gratis the demonically & semantically twisted Democrat Party interpretation of the amendment to give citizenship to former slaves and their children.
Democrats in all their perversity have interpreted that to mean that, if you are vacationing in the US and delver 6 weeks early in the US, then you baby is a de facto US citizen.
The extreme and immoral Democrat machinations for power have lead to this:
Why Did This Exist in the First Place?! California Shuts Down Chinese Birth-Tourism Motel That Took Advantage of American Birthright Citizenship
"The JR Motel does not rent rooms to the public, instead, they only cater to wealthy Chinese families who travel to the states to give birth and take advantage of America’s birthright citizenship."
Do you think that there was no possibility that a mother to be from Wuhan did not travel to California, Oregon or Washington to give birth in November, December, or January?
Since Wuhan is the 6th largest city in China, I woulds say the odds are rather high that it happened.
Trump Hit With Devastating Ad For Giving PPE To China As US Healthcare Workers Die
"Trump Hit With Devastating Ad For Giving PPE To China As US Healthcare Workers Die"
Bad Penny came back.
See Squirrel saw that things are getting better and that lockdowns will be lifted. Foot dragging Democrat governors will run to catch up and end their lockdowns. So he had to hit Trump ... well because he has a bad case of TDS and a few other things.
PURE EVIL! SBA Runs Out of Loan Money for Suffering Small Businesses – While Pelosi Stalls and Sits at Home Eating Gourmet Ice Cream
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as “Nancy Antoinette” for appearing on a late-night TV show in front of her $20,000-plus refrigerator/freezer stocked with upscale ice cream while allowing an emergency fund for distressed small businesses to run out of money.
So Pelosiout for ice cream and 20,000 people cannot get their loans, because Nancy decided she won't work for a month.
Squirrel you lost it on the ventilators. Cuomo was wrong. So now like a good chump of very small ability you are giving it the old college try with the PPE.
Last COVID pandemic was in 2002. It was SARS. It mostly stayed in China. We wanted this pandemic to stay contained in China. A good way to do it would be to help china cope. Don't you get that you blood sicking twit?
The last COVID pandemic was confined to China mostly. Wouldn't you want this last one to stay contained as well?
I'll answer for you. You would not. Not if it meant that Trump would be out of office.
Sending PPE helps containment and it has the ancillary benefit in that if we continuously help other countries with disaster relief that maybe we won't have a war with them.
Antibody Testing Reveals Coronavirus 50-85 Times More Widespread Than Previously Known and Thus Far Less Dangerous Than Expected
I wouldn't expect partisan hacks with English or poly sci degrees to understand what 1 or 2 orders or magnitude means especially, if it is in the denominator of a fraction to calculate infection and death rates.
Basically COVID is like the flu or less in terms of death rate. People will have all spring summer and fall to ponder that ahead of the election. For this the connivers in the Democrat Party and the Press whipped up the American people into hysteria.
You won't be forgiven.
Remember that electrical engineering prof, who you said visited you? If he ever visits again, he won't listen for long to your puerile fantasies. He might be polite, but he'll excuse himself and won't come back.
Lots of doctors be posting these days. You are really smrt. I mean smart.
You do not need to be a medical doctor to calculate infection, recovery and death rates.
Maybe you do? Maybe you need a whole doctorate to understand fractions, decimals, and percentiles, which most people learn in grade school?
Antibody Testing Reveals Coronavirus 50-85 Times More Widespread Than Previously Known and Thus Far Less Dangerous Than Expected
Worry about it? No.
Democrats do not care, if we lose 700 jobs for every corona virus death. That makes them monsters.
You can only do so much to overcome entropy. 2nd law of thermo.
Second law of thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time, and is constant if and only if all processes ...
If you are overweight and riding a hoveround in Walmart, chances are nothing we do as a nation is going to save you. The system reliability of the organs or cells of you body are too far gone for a 'Apollo' type project to assist each and ever such person.
I have a PhD in physics. Fat people eat at buffets. I saved the world.
BARFSACK OCRUMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The American coronavirus vaccine’s Phase 1 clinical trials are bogged down. They began on March 3 and are not scheduled to end until June 1, 2021.
Why fifteen months for the first American vaccine’s clinical trials? The reason is simple. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases), is conducting them in Fauci Time."
Asshole Fauci is slow walking the trials.
the H1N1 trials were done in 4 months.
Now, Fauci wants 15 months.
FAUCI TIME!
It's OK to let the useless eaters die. Some must die so that others may live.
The virus is Chinese with Muslim characteristics.
I read it on the internet. I read a lot.
10:21,
You are a funny guy (or gal).
Facts is the H1N1 vaccines/shots trials were done in 4 months. Fauci wants 15 for this terrible pandemic.
People can compare 15 to 4 very easily. It is a winning argument. Yours ... not so much. Have at it. Cheers!
Famine is coming
The rightwing groups behind wave of protests against Covid-19 restrictions
Leftwing groups are very active trying to get laws enacted, obtain federal oney and restrict freedom.
The current Michigan governor will not be re-elected, she has shown herself to be a typical liberal wingnut. She is actually a good pick, if you are voting for prom queen and want something approaching eye candy.
Trump Campaign Secretly Paying $180,000 A Year To His Sons’ Significant Others
Let's say this about 8:56.
They are a shithead.
It was pointed out that the Speakers of the House's wife or the wife of a high Democrat who ran for president was a consultant/lobbyist for the the airline industry. That was the 1990s. Nothing has changed.

You have to consider that 30% to 45% of the electorate won't give a damn about you stupid little posts of gotcha. You'll just energize them to go out and vote.
You will anger them because FEC laws are a sham. At best they work as well as John McCain or Lindsey Grahamnesty. That is they do not. If you beat around the bush and then beat around the bush some more, but never quite tweak the laws so they are right, then maybe it is all for show or used as a political weapon which is how you are using it now.
That makes you a fuck.
Money ins politics should not be limited. Democrats keep trying to limit it while spending more and more. Fucking sham.
I would like to know where the money is coming form, but other than that , it should not be limited.
So keep barking up that tree idiot.
After libfucks try to drive this or that pundit out of business for the past decade if not longer or drive this or that business out of business, I think it is okay the Guilfolye gets paid. Seriously.
Pundits we need not discuss. It is self evident what libshits are doing or have done.
Businesses, would be Hobby Lobby, Chic-a-fil and others. So bring up Guilfoyle you fuck.
Woman who organized anti-lockdown rally in New Jersey is ARRESTED for violating stay-at-home orders as thousands ignore social distancing to protest across the US after Trump said they're being 'treated a little rough'
This is bigger than the Tea Party, OWS , Antifa or anything else.
Democrats overeached and fucked themselves up the ass with something 10X worse than Negan's Lucille. Are you enjoying it?
Where I live there have been 5 corona deaths in a 3 county area. They were all elderly and for this you put the Us in a depression?
Fuck the Democrat Party.
Us-U.S. or us? a depression will not be based on your county. the nations is larger than your county
The great majority of countries have no problem. If there is a problem it is a big city run by a Democrat.
every advanced nation(Europe and USA get 50% of current crisis)is put at security its own people,but helping the underdeveloped mass situations is another story
