Your medical degree is from?
Very intelligent postLots of misinformation in here. Here are what the real medical experts say, up to this point:
The virus is novel. Novel means it's new, not previously recorded, not well studied. No one really knows all the facts of this strand, or strands, of virus yet, including scientists, and especially everyone on here. Anyone that is still making assumptions about it at this point are being willfully ignorant, especially comparing it to the flu. Months after the pandemic began, a very rare but still alarming number of kids are getting MIS-C, an inflammatory condition that can cause organ failure, from the virus. And this is in kids with no pre-existing conditions. So if millions more people end up getting infected over the coming months as we reopen, do we know what will happen next? Can anyone really say with confidence what will happen? If so, send me some lotto numbers.
Masks/coverings are meant to protect other people from catching the virus from you. NOT the other way around. Some people get infected but have no symptoms, have no idea they're infected, and can spread it to other people just from talking/laughing/breathing, and then those people get symptoms or worse. Just look at coverings as another way to express your personality. Just one more item of clothing. They don't have to be plain ol' medical masks. Some folks just don't want to wear a mask because they think it's a sign of weakness, which is plain stupid and more willful ignorance. Orange Face probably doesn't want to wear a mask because it would mess up his orange makeup, and because he wants to stir up more idiots and division. So if everyone cared enough about other people to wear a mask, society would be able to get back to normal much faster. What does it hurt? I'd love to know.
People need to stop acting like folks with pre-existing conditions are sacrificial lambs. So after decades of Americans acting like they're so compassionate, they care about all life, they're "pro-life", they loooove the military, now it's "if they get COVID-19 and die, they probably had pre-existing conditions, so what? Screw them"? All of a sudden, we should let old people die to save the economy? Trust me, real economists are already saying it's not going to speed up the economy any faster.
My mom has cancer, but is surviving. If I go out and some idiot fool coughs in my face, and I get infected but don't get symptoms, but then I spread it to my mom as I take care of her, and she gets sick and passes, did she pass from the cancer or the virus? Because some folks here are saying that shouldn't be counted with the official deaths. I'd prefer NOT to find out. But real families are dealing with crap like that every day now. But screw them, right? MAGA, KAG.
IMO, the thing everyone should be doing right now? Invest in stocks. Be smart, make money when the economy eventually does bounce back. Oil, gas, airline, car company shares are dirt cheap right now. Go buy some. The app Robinhood is a great place to start.
It's fun to watch you leftists get bent all out of shape. Just think, two months ago you all were calling this the "boomer remover" in a celebratory way. The millisecond you realized that you yourselves might possibly get sick from it the panic set in.

I know snowflake if I don't agree with you
@mmqp typical response. Aye, just keep listening to your Dear Leader, he's only told 18,000 lies in 3 years. You only care about yourself and your little bubble anyway, screw the rest of us, screw the essential workers taking care of idiots catching and spreading a novel virus, screw the vets, screw the elderly.
@mmqp if everyone wore a covering when they go out, you wouldn't have to worry about that answer. Right or wrong?
@mmqp of course the virus would still be around. Would it be able to infect people as easily? No. Would it eventually die out? Maybe, we don't know. It's novel. We're not psychic. If it does die out, would it die out faster if folks protected others? Would it save lives until more treatments come out in the process? Common sense should help answer those questions, but it ain't so common. But who cares, KAG.
Are car accidents contagious?
Are guns contagious?
I'm not a socialist, and I look at both sides of everything. And literally no one, republican OR democrat, wants to ban all guns.
People build homes to secure and protect themselves and their families, right? Are they being forced to do it? Yes or no? Is it common sense? Yes or no?
Same questions about covering your nose and mouth during a hopefully temporary pandemic.
@mmqp thanks for proving my points. You won't answer anything I asked because you know how it'll make you look. Or maybe you don't know. All you can do is keep making assumptions and cherry pick one or two things out of everything I said.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone call it the Boomer Remover. Maybe stay away from the extreme right-wing conspiracy theory sites. You don't have to go THAT far right, you're far enough without saying that. Especially when the Lt. Governor of Texas, a hardcore republican, said to Tucker Carlson on Fox News that grandparents should be willing to sacrifice themselves to save the economy. Guess what the main demographic of Fox News viewers is?
No one waited months to even start containing the swine flu, bird flu, or other viruses. And guess what, those viruses weren't coronaviruses. They are the actual viruses that are closer to the regular flu. SARS and MERS were coronaviruses, and proper action was taken to contain them quickly.
No one said "shut everything down until it's completely eradicated". No one.
And yeah, I do hate Trump, but it doesn't mean I hate the right. I don't. And guess what, Trump hates YOU. If he gave a damn about you, he wouldn't have spent 2 hours a day praising his damn self and his TV ratings during a pandemic, accusing journalists of murder on Twitter, or trying to take away YOUR healthcare in court right now. During a pandemic. You refuse to see that. But elderly republicans in Florida, Texas, can see that. The dude is evil. Imagine him as president when Ebola struck in 2014. How many Americans died from Ebola? The most fatal virus in decades. I'll wait for that answer, probably forever. But KAG *shrugs*
You're hilarious. It's always the same ol' arguments from y'all, nothing intelligent or deep.
Cuomo didn't change his tune on the elderly until he went down to the White House and met with Trump. Trump probably threatened to withhold more aid to NY if Cuomo didn't comply. You know, the same thing Trump threatened on Twitter with the state of Michigan this morning, withholding aid. I give him one thing, he's a pro at quid pro quos and doesn't give a damn.
Please, tell me why Trump's FDA recommends to NOT take hydroxychloroquine for the virus unless you're dying.

Trump does not trail in Florida! Better check again. Trump Actually leads in 15 main battleground states. He’ll win easily in November,and you pedophile loving losers will be crying like little girls again!Lmao, you got the talking points and deflection down pat. Yeah, the elderly would love to sacrifice themselves for their grandkids and the economy, that's why Trump is slipping in the polls with seniors, and that's why Biden leads Trump by 10 points in Florida right now. A state full of old people. FLORIDA. Yeah, everything is corrupt but our bankrupter and grifter in chief is squeaky clean. Like I said before, go out and protest for your freedom. Be like those brave, tough alpha men in Michigan and NC, bring your rifle and rocket launcher with you, because we're taking your freedom. I'm done here, you win, Sport. KAG!
And I hope this thread isn't locked or deleted. It's just good, healthy conversation which is what we need right now.

South Korea has the lowest death rate because they have tested a much higher percentage of their population... it is pretty simple. More testing = more acute cases and lower death rate.South Korea had the earliest most comprehensive testing and they have the lowest death rate. Early comprehensive testing results in separating those that are already infected. It is amazing to me how many people that know nothing are suddenly experts.. Opinions are different from facts. KBO baseball has started. That being said I know that people do not want facts. They want their opinion coming out of my mouth. Ignorance abounds.
Holy crap, that's a whole cruise ship load of people! Great poll! Try again Jarhead.The poll did not include different surveys of each of the 15 states, but surveyed 583 people across 15 states that were decided by 8 points or fewer in 2016. The margin for the battleground states alone was 5.3 points.
The purge worked and I’m fine with it! Lower health care costs now!@HooSprings Holy crap, that's a whole cruise ship load of people! Great poll! Try again Jarhead.
Meanwhile, the President of United States of America:South Korea has the lowest death rate because they have tested a much higher percentage of their population... it is pretty simple. More testing = more acute cases and lower death rate.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/14/trump-coronavirus-testing-high-case-numbers-259524“So we have the best testing in the world,” Trump said. “It could be the testing’s, frankly, overrated? Maybe it is overrated.

No one complains about these signs at businesses and convenience stores, right? I bet no one even notices them anymore. Is that sign taking away your freedom? Let's say we open up more and stores add "and masks" to those signs because they want to protect their employees. It's a very real possibility. Y'all still gonna cry and complain and protest?
So angry and hateful with every post. There goes that compassionate GOP again! And people wonder why the majority of America doesn't want to open up all the way yet. Some real sociopaths out there that don't give a damn who gets sick from their arrogant decisions.
SMDH! THIS IS A FOOTBALL/SPORTS THREAD! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! STOP WITH THE POLITICS!!!!!!
Remdesivir is already showing to be more effective than hydroxychloroquine. I wonder why Cheetoh Man isn't ramming Remdesivir down our throats every day. Just like I still wonder what's wrong with wearing a mask during a pandemic, and how it hurts anyone.
Oh my bad, I forgot he wants to look into injecting your lungs with disinfectant too. Anyone here wanna be the guinea pig?

Try again.
You'd make a good guinea pig, go try that injection. It's almost like a cleaning. Our president's words.
We have Google, go look yourself. I already know what's in them.
Our president said we should look into injecting our lungs with disinfectant. He wasn't talking about a vaccine. Just a cleaning. The FDA didn't say that. No agency said it. Trump said it. So go try it and let us know how it goes. Help the cause! KAG.
