The whole corona-virus issue is not made-up BS. It is real and the US death toll is now jut below 100,.000 and climbing. We account for over 28% of the world's deaths and 29% of the cases. Who knows where it will end before a vaccine is developed, tested and mass-produced?.

The bigger issue is not just the death rate, but the lingering effects of those who survive. Respiratory and major organ damage results that leave many victims with diminished physical conditions.

Wrong. I just got off the phone with a Seattle hospital. 6 gunshot deaths in the last couple of weeks tested positive. Guess what. 6 COVID deaths added to the list. 7 COVID patients in the hospital currently. Re-tested every week for 6-7 weeks. Each week the positive test is added to the count. Be gullible if you want, but reality is what it is. I communicate with hospitals in multiple states weekly. Same story across the board.

???? 6 deaths added to the death count as 6 added to the positive count (one time).....but 7 real positives numbers result in from 42 to 49 positives which are not counted as deaths and keeping on counting up ????

Hard to say if that's numbers supporting high death counts or high survival rates?

6 people shot to death. They swab them. The test positive for COVID and are added to the COVID death count. 7 patients tested weekly. Net result: 6 new deaths and 42-49 cases. The numbers are bullshiite.

Nice try sport. Numbers don't lie but people use them to build false arguments all the time.

US case mortality is 10th in the list of countries and with 5.9% substantially less than most of the others. Deaths/1000 we're #9. We're doing fine in the larger sense especially once we honestly remove the folks who were placed in the un-winnable situation of care facilities and being already in danger from other significant health issues.

No one with a brain is saying this is fake but there is a very good chance that there will never be a universal vaccine so I sure wouldn't put my money down on that solving it and masks and destroying the economy sure won't. I suspect that this will be largely be very much like 1918 with the virus mutating and people getting immunity and it will end with a whimper and not a bang.

Now, will there be an economy to go back to? I suspect no conspiracy but I sure see a lot of government incompetence in balancing risks but the government doesn't do risk analysis. They know they will survive no matter how badly they do their job, or if they do it at all.

If it's not BS, why does the press do their best to suppress effective treatments?

Of course, Clorox WILL kill the virus, but it has some side effects.

You mean the unproven, undocumented claims being promoted? My wife has taken hydroxychloroquine for over 20 years (for Lupus) and her physician had advised her that her immune system is compromised as a result of the Lupus) and that she is susceptible to the Corona-Virus.

So what is really eating at you? No, besides the fact you hate Trump? What is really the issue that you're trying to get across? The issue beside the fact you HATE Trump?

Are you trying to tell us that a respiratory disease could have lingering effects? Since when is that news? We are talking about a disease. Some suck more than others. Haven't seen you on here bitching about Hep or TB. Tuberculosis is very contagious and very dangerous. It is a world wide problem. How come no protest about that?

So, what is really got your goat? One of two things:

1.) You are concerned about COVID because your wife is immuno compromised. OK, valid concern, so just come out with it. "This thing worries me because my wife is in the high risk category". At least I'd respect that out of you.

2.) You just HATE Trump and will resist anything he says or does. By your many posts, this seems to be the story.

I've got a news flash for you. SARS-COV-2 ain't going away. Chances for an effective vaccine to save the planet aren't good. Human corona viruses have been identified since 1960 and in SIXTY years, we have no vaccine for ANY of them. So if you expect the entire country to hide away until an effective vaccine can be found and produced in mass quantity, you've lost touch with reality. At best it will be a year or more. By then, this virus will have made its second and third wave around the world, if there is going to be one.

At some point, the masses AND the "scientists" will have to come to the realization that the world will need to cope and live with SARS-COV-2 just like they do Hep B, TB, HIV, Influenza A & B, typhus, cholera and a whole host of other things.

Yes, people will get sick. People will continue contracting this thing years from now, vaccine or no vaccine. You will never get 100% of the world vaccinated any more than you will get 100% herd immunity, but the numbers will drop. You might see hot spots flare up, but we now have the capacity to treat people. You DO recall that was the big fear, that the healthcare system would crash from over demand?

So, troll, what is it you really want? You want everyone in America to stay at home to protect your wife? Noble thought. That would make you a caring, though unrealistic husband thinking that your specific wants need to cause 300 million people to alter their lives and livelihood indefinitely for your family. Or is this just more "Resist Trump" blather?

How about you let doctors decide what treatment is best for their patients. You know, trained healthcare people? I could believe you, a social media warrior in that the treatments currently discussed are, now how did you put it? Ah, here's how you put it:

"You mean the unproven, undocumented claims being promoted?"

I could believe you, or my neighbor the Pulmonologist who uses hydroxyxhlorquine and remsdesivir right now at Northside Hospital and says they work. Or maybe my other neighbor who is an ER physician at Wellstar North Fulton hospital. Funny that he says they works. Maybe it doesn't work in Blue States, only Red? Maybe it doesn't work on progressive liberal socialists? As Gus might say "Does anyone really know?"

So out with it. What is your REAL message and motivation?

You can try the Clorox thing if you want. The rest of us understand satire.

Anybody that thinks this whole virus bullshit was not just a follow on to the Russia, Ukraine hoaxes, is either an idiot or a democrat traitor (or both)

As for me and my house, if we test positive for the virus, we’ll shop doctors until we get the hydroxy and whatever else the docs suggest— whether “proven” or not. Few drugs have 60 years of usage. The side effects are known. The libtards in the blue states can wait on the proof and die out if they want.
