“We might be living in a very different world for a year or more.”

[The Berean]

From the article I linked to in the first post of this thread:

After the 1st suppression period ends in July, we could probably lift restrictions for a month, followed by 2 more months of suppression, in a repeating pattern without triggering an outbreak or overwhelming the ventilator supply. Staggering breaks by city could do a bit better.

But we simply cannot EVER allow the virus to spread throughout the entire population in the way other viruses do, because it is just too deadly. If lots of people we know end up getting COVID-19, it means millions of Americans are dying. It simply can't be allowed to happen.

How quickly will a vaccine be here? Last week three separate research teams announced they had developed vaccines. Yesterday, one of them (with FDA approval) injected its vaccine into a live person, without waiting for animal testing. That's an extreme measure, but necessary.

Now, though, they have to monitor the test subject for 14 months to make sure the vaccine is safe. This part can't be rushed: if you're going to inoculate all humans, you have to make absolutely sure the vaccine itself won't kill them. It probably won't, but you have to be sure.

Assuming the vaccine is safe and effective, it will still take several months to produce enough to inoculate the global population. For this reason, the Imperial College team estimated it will be about 18 months until the vaccine is available.

During those 18 months, things are going to be very difficult and very scary. Our economy and society will be disrupted in profound ways. And if suppression actually works, it will feel like we're doing all this for nothing, because infection and death rates will remain low.

It's easy to get people to come together in common sacrifice in the middle of a war. It's very hard to get them to do so in a pandemic that looks invisible precisely because suppression methods are working. But that's exactly what we're going to have to do.

Scary? This is simply opinion and fear-mongering by one person (Jeremy C. Young). This is NOT fact. He's just jumped on the worst case scenario and ran with it. I'm not scared at all. The Lord Jesus Christ is with me always. It's silly that soooo many people are copying and pasting Young's Twitter rant all over the Internet.

Yeah, the "scary" part is his opinion. I don't share it either, but it's interesting that you chose to latch on to that part of it while ignoring the rest, which is where the substance is. Now read the rest of it.

What I so interesting? I've read the whole thing. And?

I "latched on" to the part because it part of the ridiculous fear mongering all over the Internet and you posted it.

"Millions of people are going to die"

And

"We simply can't allow this to blablablabla"


Typical nonsense from useless_one, which is why I have him on ignore

The Chinese government may have been lying about having the coronavirus epidemic under control:

After months of staying holed up in the Forbidden City, Mr. Xi finally ventured to Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus, to declare victory over the virus as all the makeshift hospitals have been closed. Yet no one knows if Beijing’s claims that new indigenous cases are slowing down are true or not, given long-standing doubt about the veracity of any official Chinese statistics, and the party’s failure to act in the early days of the coronavirus.

I find it questionable at the very least that this statistic has been touted by China since the expulsion of Western journalists from their country. :duh:

 

[Aimiel]

The fear mongering is entering epic proportions. Tens of millions of people will die? That remains to be seen. As of today.

Coronavirus Cases: 218,175

Deaths: 8,937

Recovered: 84,383

The death rate is 4.09% is way higher than the flu. This is a serious matter not to be taken lightly and people need to take every precaution possible. But this is not the Black Death or the Zombie Apocalypse. People need to calm the heck down.

I read where an epidemiologist said that the statistics are currently skewed by not only the poor general health of the Chinese people as a whole but also their exposure to WAY more pollution than the rest of the world suffers.

Yes, they started off with compromised respiratory systems

A dose of good news here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-effective-in-treating-coronavirus-says-china

An antiviral drug that is effective against the coronavirus could alleviate the need for ventilators for some people.

I just found this through Joe Murgia's account on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/UfoJoe11/status/1240168118627864576 ). It contains profound information about the coronavirus that may affect all of our lives for the next year or more. I think I'll just link to it rather than copy-and-paste:

Expect normal routine life as we know it to be disrupted for perhaps up to a year or more.

Why do people say Trump changed his tune about the coronavirus? That is fake news people that claim that. Trump stopped the people from China coming here when the Democrats were playing impeachment and the fake news people called Trump a racists for it.

 

[God's Truth]

You found crap in a crap pond. How surprising.



And along comes the creatures that eat crap.

This virus will pass like all others. In three months the market and the economy will be booming, and the Left's attempt to use this disease as a vehicle to defeat Trump will have failed just like their fake impeachment failed.

Four more years of MAGA. Buckle up snowflakes.

Yeah, can you imagine that there are people so stupid to try to use the stock market going down because of the VIRUS, but say people will hold it against Trump? I can hardly believe there are so many idiots in power.

 

[God's Truth]

No!!! Shut, UP! The Chinese lie? But but but, Orange man bad. Communist good. Right?

The Democrats are so dumb and phony, they tried to stand up for the Islamic countries when Trump put a travel ban on them. Don't the Democrats know that the Islamic countries hate gays and women who talk without permission?

 

[God's Truth]

You have Trump derangement syndrome in reverse.

You told me at least once already that you had me on ignore:



What went wrong? Were you lying about that just as you lie about practically everything else? The fact that you are posting in my threads is proof that you were lying about that. Now be honest for once and do put me on ignore. Get lost.

It isn't a lie when someone changes their mind and decides to post.

I don't trust our fake news journalists out there either, or anywhere.

 

[God's Truth]

I wouldn't doubt it if China was paying for their infected citizens to come here.

Mexico gets rid of their poor and helps them come here.

When Reagan told Cuba that he would take their citizens that want to come here, Fidel Castro emptied his prisons and insane asylums and sent them to America.

Are there many folks who think and talk like you do? ........ dirty talk....... dirty mind?

President Trump has just declared this situation to be no less than a war.
He he opened the government coffers to provide for the working people who cannot pay mortgages, rents, leans etc.
This situation is not political.

Four more years of MAGA. Buckle up snowflakes.

After this dreadful pandemic the whole world needs to rebuild itself again.
Screaming hate filled little people will just get in the way of what the world's leaders will be trying to do.

You mean people who know the truth and tell the truth? There are a few of us. Just look at the people here who call you out on your dumb posts, and there they are.

"dirty talk....... dirty mind?" because I used the word "crap"? Are you some sort of Nancy sissy?

This thread is through. Stick a fork in it. It was based on a fear mongering lie from some tool on Facebook called UFO Joe, and posted here by the resident tool User Name.

"UFO Joe" and "User Name".
Dumb and Dumber.

..... dirty mind, I think.
Actually I have been praising your resident's recent news conferences, and suggesting that you listen to what you're told and to do what you're told by your government.
You sing your praises and then moan........ at your government.
That's just daft.
