It will be spun come election time that they were effectively running into a burning building in order to get Mississippi a new state flag.
Everyone will be exposed to the virus.... mask or not... it will run its course.. one of the local Doctors here has had it.... he wore his mask, employees wore their mask and patients wore theirs...he still caught it...

I don't understand what's so difficult about it. The sooner it spreads, the better we all will be.
They simply will not get off the 'indefinite slow of the spread' with no end game in sight, now that they've committed so much energy to it. It's a flawed process. They'll change course mid-November though.
Maybe when it gets overloaded, my wife will get back to her normal 40 hours instead of 32.
You also have covid patients who are showing no symptoms taking up beds in hospitals. Some have been in there as long as 2 months. Also throw in that there normal full capacity beds have been reduced due to a shortage in nurses. There are more beds available but not enough staff to support them. All of that makes the numbers look worse
Infects the same numbers. It kills fewer to the extent we avoid the healthcare system getting overwhelmed. And maybe kills fewer to the extent actions to flatten the curve cut down on things like driving. But kills more to the extent that actions to flatten the curve increase alcohol and drug abuse and suicides.
And allows for more time to figure out what does and doesn’t work as far as treating it and allows researchers to create new therapies. That’s one of the major reasons the survival rate is going up for the most part.
No, it doesn't. Flattening the curve:
- Reduces the risk of exposure to vulnerable people by decreasing the opportunity for contracting the virus in essential interactions with others.
- Pushes unavoidable infections into the future when treatment options improve. We already have two effective treatment options NYC did not have which have reduced mortality and negative outcomes.
- Pushes unavoidable contact into the future where a vaccine may prevent infection.
- Reduces stress on local healthcare allowing those who are infected to receive effective treatment.
Think about it this way. Let's say 100 people in a gym have a water balloon. Now we have 100 more people enter the gym. If everyone is walking around and mixing and then all the balloons pop at once, almost everyone is going to get wet. If you only pop half of them at a time, fewer people are going to end up getting wet. If you pop them one at a time, even though you pop all the balloons eventually, far fewer people will get wet.
A lot of people who got wet the first time will even shield some of those that might have gotten wet otherwise. You also have the opportunity to develop a strategy to not get wet or even figure out how to make a rain coat.
The everybody should just run out and get it at once argument is ignorant. Slowing the spread of transmission, to a certain point, saves lives. This IS NOT a lockdown argument. It is a don't be stupid argument.
Sixpackspeak: still explaining Flattening the Curve after 4 months..Let’s face it. Some will never grasp the concept.

Flattening the curve *infects* roughly the same number
but we have better control over who is protected form infection, and the death rate is *significantly* better because we can actually treat everyone.

We're not treating people effectively anyway. I have a few friends who tested positive. A couple were asymptomatic. But two in particular wore masks all day due to their jobs, and they started with a low grade fever and was sent to get a test. They were tested and sent home. Told to take ibuprofen for fever. It took four F'n days for them to get test results back. By that time, they had gotten over the symptoms and were feeling better but one of them in particular was miserable for about three days with fever and aches. It makes no sense to me that we have to wait that long for test results. If they weren't as healthy as they were, they would've been too deep into this thing by the time they got the results back.
I had to give you a Wahoo just for how hilariously bad that metaphor was. LIke, it's so bad that even though I assume I probably agree with some of it, I can't tell. It was so bad it's great. I normally like to mix my metaphors, but that was just a purity of badness without even mixing metaphors that I just can't even express how happy it made me.
Well, I knew you would be reading since you have me on #subscribe and I wanted to make sure it was appropriate for a 3rd grade reading level.
I really did enjoy it. That comment reads snarky and ******, but I honestly like a bad metaphor. A technically accurate but needlessly confusing metaphor just makes me happy. One of many quirks I have. Not sure if all of yours was technically accurate, but I definitely was confused by it and enjoyed it.
So what we are saying is....virus known rampant since March, doesn't spread until we get the "visual compliance" nazis on the case in the past 2 weeks?
Are you willing to lay your life or your family's on the line to get herd immunity? Because some people have to die to get to herd immunity. So if you're not willing to die, don't ask it of anyone else.
Covid cure???
Is this the silver bullet? This doctor presents a persuasive argument that runs contrary to big Pharma and the national media agenda. Certainly worthy critical analysis and sharing with anyone who has the virus.
