Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (54 Viewers)

[Ronn]

the us reaction to the pandemic has been laughable especially with our resources and accessibility to science. 250,000 people are at sturgis, south dakota right now, no masks required. insanity

Mr. Churchill said it best: Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities. With Trump I’m not sure about the first part though.

it usually takes an event of extreme significance

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

that's very true and if it doesn't work, we are screwed

Don't you think we'll eventually be able to just live with it as a minor inconvenience in most cases?

Many lives will be destroyed in the process.

Yeah, I mean long term "herd immunity "

Yeah, acceptable that the country would be in a permanent state of a killer flu season.

It's such a Hail Mary pass, really. No Plan A, just a desperation gamble that a vaccine works, somehow makes it to everybody, somehow is effective in most everybody, somehow works long enough in people to have antibodies that remain relevant for any length of time, and that all of this just goes away.

This is like the rationalization of a juventino after Depay's penalty yesterday.

No Plan C or D. No backups. No strategy for better and faster testing combined with tracing technologies and more effective recovery drugs other than chloroquinine.

Really, the US public health response is just sitting around waiting for a miracle.

Making the current vaccine trials questionable considering it's 'too big to fail' since public health and the economy are at stake. I'm pro-vaccine and will be first in line for my flu shot but I honestly doubt that a vaccine with an effectivity of 50% will save us all and put this behind us like it's being presented right now.

I’m sure we will be. But the economical side of things makes this unsustainable. Look at Lebanon for example. COVID had them on the brink of disaster and that explosion knocked them out completely.

eventually, sure. the question is how many people will die before that happens?

So Fauci is saying there's no returning to normal as long we don't have a vaccine yet he acknowledges that a vaccine will not be highly effective nor sustainable considering Coronaviruses mutate over time meaning we need to come up with a new vaccine or a booster every time (and get it right in advance, which if you look at the flu vaccines aren't always the case). The FDA even says 50% effectiveness is acceptable enough.

That's my point, fuck these idiots, we can't be hostages of fear.

Watching the president flip flop and bald-faced lie his way through this entire pandemic is the saddest part. He’s directly made this far worse than it needed to be. And accepts 0 responsibility for that.

Lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny. Works for all third world autocrats, no reason for it not to work in other parts of the world.

What a time to be a commie. They found a vaccine in less than two months and will start a mass vaccination quickly.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Rigged.

Had it been a natural flu there's no way vaccine would appear in less than a year or even longer.

Produced by humans and spread either on purpose or because someone fucked up. Meh. I lost months because of that shit.

"One of my daughters did the inoculation herself," he said at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning. "After the first injection, her temperature went up to 38, but by the next day it was just a little over 37."

What are you talking about? Polonium-210 has proven quite effective after years of trials in the UK.

Are you referring to the accident of former KGB agent Litvinenko slipping and falling on a hundredfold lethal dose of the radioactive isotope Po-210?

Novichok/A-234 has also proven effective in UK trials:
