I'd like to see anyone try to quarantine my wife and I. I'd like to see anybody try to restrict my movements. I won't put up with it. We're in Branson, MO for a week and having a marvelous time. No masks required. Social distancing is requested but at the firework show last night no one was doing it. I love it here but will have to return to the People's Republic of Tucson and the socialist, activist mayor.
Last year in the US there were 19 million known cases of the ordinary flu. This covid bug is also going to have millions of cases so just get every one exposed to it, get herd immunity, and get it over with. It's not a death sentence, after all, as too many people think it is. It's proven that the covid numbers are highly inflated as the hospitals are getting paid thousands for every covid case they can come up with.
You need to shorten that up. That’s waaaay to much to fit on a tombstone.
In a ‘typical’ year, the 2018–2019 flu season the CDC estimates that the ‘normal’ flu was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths.
So far, and nobody who knows what they’re talking about thinks this is anywhere close to over and as of today more than 133,000 have died of it, and not just the same older, compromised or with other health complications either. Young, otherwise healthy fit people are dying of this virus.
That’s nearly 4 times the number of deaths SO FAR.
As for your idea on numbers, you’re looking at spin doctors opinions, the fact is the US is far, far behind the percentage of population that should have been tested. It’s simply not possible that numbers are “highly inflated” when only a small fraction of the population has even been tested.
Spain tried the ‘herd immunity’ idea, they reverted to lockdown when they realized they had barely reached 5% immunity but their death rates increased dramatically.
I know it’s hot in AZ but you REALLY shouldn’t have drank the Kool-Aid.
X2. All those who think CV is not dangerous should read about Nick Cordero. 41 years old, no underlying health conditions.
