Understand, just long enough.
We ALL need to just try with all of our souls to leave politics and the politics of this situation OUT of this discussion. Nobody's mind is going to change and it will cost us the opportunity to discuss the progression of the epidemic and relevant statistical and medical changes. There is no doubt that most media outlets and the Democrats are trying to paint the President as negatively as they can. That's not a new phenomena. It's disgusting IMO, but it's nothing new. I don't think Trump being out there patting himself on the back about the job he's doing is a visual I like right now either. We need to all be pulling together right now instead of trying to assign blame.
That was funny. I don't care who your are. Made me smile Of course you realize that you don't have to be alive to vote for Democrats. It worked for JFK.
In your opinion, depending on numbers, which I haven't seen counted at all, how do you think those with the antibody and fully cured will effect us climbing out of this?
I'm hearing a moderation from Fauci these past couple of days about what he thinks the progression of this thing this summer in to fall will be. Maybe it's fatigue but he's already said that he thinks kids will go back to school this fall. Now he said on TV today that we may be able to re-open some things early this summer. I don't know what it will take for them to allow bars and restaurants to reopen. IMO, WHEN that happens in each area that will be the signal that we're really on the way back. My number #1 concern right now since we've got the spread slowed down is KEEPING SUPPLY CHAINS OPEN. We HAVE to have supplies on grocery store shelves.
It has become laughable reading all these threads and you are one of the worst posters pushing anything political. One side my ass.
That's just it, did Fauci even mention them? I see where he's mentioned those without, precautions for those without etc, but not one mention of potentially millions of people ready now, as we speak, safe to do whatever.
I think antibody testing will be a big deal. IMO, Fauci is already getting some data from early antibody testing and they're finding much more widespread antibody presence than they thought. I think there are way more people who had very mild or no symptoms than they thought. Birx hinted at that today. Obviously IF you've got antibodies you can go about go about business without concern. I would love personally to have my family take antibody tests. I had a friend who went to Minneapolis to babysit his grandkids. His family member travels widely around the U.S. and some foreign places. He picked up a horrible viral infection that in hindsight fit very well COVID-19, but it happened in late January/early February. He had about 2 weeks of lethargy, cardiac symptoms, horrible cough, headaches, body aches etc. He may have given the same virus to my wife and I also but we didn't get as sick as him. I would LOVE for him to be tested for COVID-19 antibodies.
I'm a Trump voter but PLEASE for the love of Pete leave politics off of this now. If you don't, you'll get the thread locked and receive a vacation.
Please try to ignore the political discussions. It's pointless. Nobody changes their mind.
Well, in some states and cities they are mandating what you can sell and buy in grocery stores. Sounds pretty extreme to rational folks.
Yea, a lot to clean up.
I also never said that the left is making this whole thing up.
No i read everything you write. And if you feel attacked you must be sensitive person. But i do see you attacking other peoples oppinions. But its cool we have different visions. Doesnt bug me either way.
Yea, too many tests from what I've read.
They haven't even been approved yet, but trust me, you will hear about them.
You have not given one single example of what you originally claimed. You said the left wants this to last forever, for their own benefit. Nothing you linked showed that. People using this for political gain is a whole different discussion that people wanting this to go on forever. Wanting to be on stay at home orders, wanting unemployment to soar and the economy to crash.
I didn't hear Fauci talk about it but Birx did briefly. They're still in an assessment phase I believe starting most likely with healthcare workers. There's a limit on how many tests they can run. As they get more data back to confirm what Brix hinted at today, they'll start dribbling it out to limit the damage to their own credibility if they were way off on their projections of asymptomatic infections. It will be very interesting if they can get widespread antibody testing up and running. Really you wouldn't have to test whole populations. You could do for instance a population study in a given small community which has had community spread and probably predict what the rate would be in other populations with a similar timeline of infections.
You can call my post out all you want. You must have ignored all the above post. But i never hurled insults called anyone names. But yes i will call somone out for attacking other peoples oppinions if they do not agree with his own.
When do I ever come out of the blue and call posters out like you just did (again)? Sorry I chose to question and then disagree with a conspiracy theory. That’s not a political agenda, it’s just a little common sense. We all need this to be over and need the economy to be strong, suggesting otherwise is insane.
Right now, we're stuck on the old curve. The only thing that surpasses this is those already cured, my guess is 16 million, and depends on when they test that many folks.
.The "kits" I've heard referenced have been test kits for the virus not antibodies. There's several rapid test kits for the virus that were to start shipping this week I believe.
I understand that. The point is that IF we want to continue to discuss on this board THE VIRUS we need to let the political stuff roll off our backs and stay on topic. It's difficult.
Yea, antibody tests approvals in about ten days to clear approval, then instruction and ramp up.
Fauci lives in a bubble, no disrespect, but he hasn't missed one day of work, has if anything completed and is working on his lifes work right now.
No, unless you discredit Faucis own wit?
Man I really don't think the early models were crazy at all. I was very concerned when this thing hit our shores. It COULD have been MUCH MUCH worse if had done nothing and make no mistake Nebraska and the surrounding areas are just getting started with this deal. The Dakotas' numbers are ramping up and I heard from family that they have cases in some nursing homes in Fargo now.
