Things are working on getting ugly

I think it's funny that people think testing is the cure-all. The cat is out of the bag, it's inevitable.


When trying to get people BACK TO WORK testing will absolutely be a major component. If there is no immunity after infection, it will be even more vital. Otherwise it’s just a “let’s see who can survive this thing” mentality. If that’s what you want, ok. I don’t agree.

520 men will die this year from breast cancer. It's 1 out of 833 in the general pop who will get it which is a .1% chance. What's the healthy men's rate in covid? Not a lot different.
Those are the stats we don’t have yet.

Yes we do and you know it. Go get your mammogram, you might be at risk for breast cancer.
You just quoted me the stats of men that will die THIS YEAR. We aren’t even a year into this disease yet, how can a comparison be valid?

You can look at the number of healthy men who have died so far and extrapolate. Also, with Hydroxychloroquine, Zpak and other treatments will lessen the number even more. It won't get worse. Talking per cent

We require herd immunity, if it's feasible. Keep the hospitals below capacity and roll the dice everywhere else. It has to happen. You aren't going to stop it, only slow it.

Hospitals are laying people off. You don't cut off a cancerous lesion, one small cut at a time. Do it all at once and get it over with. We are slowly bleeding the patient to death.

That's not entirely true. They're mandating non-essential businesses be closed. I saw that a dog grooming shop was mandated essential business in NC. The decision-making process is so arbitrary.

Yes, consumers will decide when they venture back out into the wilderness. I do already with mask and sanitizer, but government has a hand in it too.
Hmmmm. Sounds like tariffs. Odd you don't get all wound up over those.

And frankly, this is an academic discussion as far as I’m concerned. I’m not marching on anything. The only thing I’m doing is putting hollow points in a motherfvcker who oversteps my boundary lines.
I gotta admit I changed all my ammo over from my range stuff to hollow points.

Do you have a senior in high school? If you had one then you'd might know the frustration of what is being denied HEALTHY 17-18 year old young people who were looking at athletic scholarship opportunities or academic and now this has destroyed those chances because colleges cannot offer anything because of the "unknown future" for them as well.

If it’s feasible is right. Maybe we should find that out first?

I think they are one of the biggest victims of this virus, and I can’t imagine the frustration I’d feel as their father.

In the long run, what difference would it make? I don't live in a plastic bubble to keep me safe. There are dangers in the world. Come on, let's go.
Whatever, it’s not just my nation. Don’t go trying to pass of the results if they aren’t good though, you’ve got to own it.
