The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

I understand all about flattening the curve and not overwhelming the healthcare system.  It will be interesting to see though if that happens again with a 2nd wave.  I would think there will be millions of people then out in public that aren't immune that will then be exposed and end up in the healthcare system.

I totally understand the concern but there is some evidence that a lot more people have been infected than we know about and that, possibly for a majority of people, they never experience any symptoms and it doesn’t affect them. Of course the US is nowhere near the point we should be easing restrictions but it will be interesting to see how it goes in China.

I'm REALLY hoping the illness I had at the beginning of the month was this stuff. Similar symptoms, but it wasn't severe enough to be tested. Just like a really bad flu.

I understand and agree.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  So, let's say I'm immune, but my elderly parents aren't.  I just was hanging out with someone who got the virus on me then I go visit my parents.  

The vaccine is essential in all of this.  If we can get that and mass produce it quickly, then the issue is taken care of.

Thanks,

Agreed. It will be a dangerous situation, especially for the old and more vulnerable, until a vaccine and some form of treatment is developed.

I get that there is some need to balance mitigation with economic concerns but we are nowhere near that point. And really I don’t feel that China is either. It’s one thing to have flattened the curve but, without a vaccine and almost 100% testing, there are still way too many who could fall victim.

 
How is "the media" keeping people from going back to work?

And how does that compare to every major health official, every mayor, every governor telling people to stay home?

This doesn't even make sense.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Or does it...

That's interesting... Which party continually proposes lowering the voting age? I wonder why  :dunno  maybe because young people don't know anything about anything and they're easy to manipulate with emotion? Hmmmm....

Also... I take part in a lot of different forums on politics. Out of every political forum I've observed, the one filled with the most idiotic, skewed, and fascist viewpoints... is Huskerboard P&R forum. It's Orwellian tbh.

Actual Conversation I had. Completely illustrates the mental hoops some people are willing to go through to support current leaders and the lack of testing being done. Maybe I got through to him?

Other guy: So test everyone? Even though they show ZERO symptoms? Giving people false hope? Really? I can agree to test those who are symptomatic, but to test asymptomatic is asinine.

Me: Help with the title. "Rand Paul test positive for Covid-19, says he is asymptomatic." Rand Paul, is what is known as a carrier. Even though Rand Paul does not exhibit symptoms, he is passing the virus along to everyone he encounters. Rand Paul is effectively killing people by being in the public while harboring the virus. Most people don't want to be like Rand Paul. https://www.wymt.com/content/news/Rand-Paul-tests-positive-for-COVID-19-569009761.html?fbclid=IwAR0INl1tYAvESMZ6ADd3uSs80YYOc9IGMWWr9W1PFhsPpisQwBRP4N-k-Gk

Other guy: he (Rand Paul) is self quaranteed, so he is not spreading any Covid 19

Me: Well hello! How did Rand Paul know to self quarantine... come on I know you'll get there.

Other guy: crickets....

I hate the liberal media, the center for disease control and the world health organization are the worst liberal news rags out there.
