Bro, the human body is an amazing thing. We'll develop immunity and don't forget, a vaccination is essentially giving you a small amount of COVID then letting your body respond.
i remember resident evil movies.
Does anyone else feel like this is the beginning credits of a horror movie?

Brooklyn Ultra-Orthodox Community Faces Spike In Coronavirus Infections, Urgent Care Center Confirms

https://www.brownstoner.com/brookly...cases-growing-social-distancing-williamsburg/

There is a mobile testing center in Williamsburg now as there are a cluster of cases, I wonder why. This shit needs to stop.
These are the same people who don't vaccinate their kids?

Since ramping up testing in the US the number of cases more than doubled, but the number of deaths remain low except for Washington state.

82.5 according to google

The scary part is the unknown for example that young patients remain with a permanentlly reduced lung capacity or bone density etc
But do you trust the decisions being made are neither biased, agenda driven, bureaucratic or political? Do you think there was real human cost analytics included in the equation? The fact is we have grown soft and no real impactful decisions can be made anymore we are all about appeasing the meme educated crowds and making sure the buck is passed. We want to reduce pollution and improve the life of the downtrodden yet we want everyone to live forever, does not compute.

Boeing spent 75% of its free cash flow on stock buybacks, now they want a bailout. 6 airlines (American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Alaska and United) spent 96% on buybacks. This is the tax cut money they were supposed to use on expansion, and reinvestment. I have no words.
The real impact of Paul Ryan’s brilliant economic policy making is now demonstrated perfectly.

:lol: why am I not surprised. System fits big companies and banks. You can't do anything wrong. If/when everything goes down to toilet you just ask for a bailout and print away out of trouble.

Just to clarify, the bailout is a loan, and i have no problem letting them fail if it is a stance we adopt across the board.
Did banks ever fail? I'm not sure. I wish they'd all let them fail. Those bailouts make no sense since they can put a gun into governments head saying they'll crash the system unless they save their ass. That's not really fair.

True. Indeed, the Boeing executives need to be in jail and not walking away with million dollar golden handshakes (their recently retired CEO) if reports are to be believed.

It's not about fairness but rather the cost of each decision, the problem resides in the federal reserve and and it's only natural for humans let alone countries or big corps to always exploit a weakness if they see one.
