Could just as well been Dongtan Beach. SMH

[stevenl]

It is the number of new cases that should be leading to opening up, together with testing and tracing.

 

And it doesn't look good for any.

So far there have been less total deaths in the US compared to the same period last year.

60,000 deaths by weeks end.

Are you saying USA citizens should get out and about to create traffic deaths and other deaths to add to Civid 19 deaths? Sounds a little strange. I think Covid 19 deaths are enough.

It the variant of the same argument - that more people usually die from smoking, obesity related causes etc, so why are we shutting this down.

 

Its a pretty simple answer to that - one my teenage daughter got straight off the bat - none of those things are highly contagious. None of them threaten to instantly overwhelm our medical system. You can forget about your 'freedom' when when one of the pillars of any society and economy - peoples health - can't be looked after.

 

I do find it rather ironic though, that the so called rugged individualists - who by definition don't believe in society - are banging on about how much they worry about other people. Down right lefty liberal if you ask me!

Gonna be a million cases soon and that’s just the known cases with the lack of testing it’s much more unfortunately just think only 2 month ago trump said soon it will just go away.the best potus can come up with now is injecting bleach and lighting up your insides unbelievable utterly unbelievable

influenza is also contagious, quite often overwhelms our medical system and is considered a pandemic by those in the medical field. But most people don’t take any notice of it and we certainly don’t shut down the economy every year, create a massive amount of debt and unemployment. We shall see how this plays out. Forecasting how many people are going to die is not an exact science and quite often is massively wrong ( look at Neil Ferguson Imperial College London track record ). Quite a few experts are saying this is just another respiratory virus and will burn out within 2 months.

Time and time again medical professionals have had to say "This is not the flu." Please pay attention to them, their words can be trusted.

 You forgetting a key point T,those pesky advisers that he hired after spouting off to the news on Jan 21,

Fauci: "Well, you know, obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing. But this is not a major threat [emphasis added] for the people of the United States, and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about."

The only support I see against this argument is "it's not the flu" but apart from that I see no valid points being raised.You sometimes get "it's more deadly than flu" but then we had the Spanish flu and other pandemics and although they have included corona viruses as part of the flu season it's seems this time it's different.As time passes I think we will begin to realise "Beware the cure" may have some validity.

[Ventenio]

what if America just stopped testing.  Said no more confirmed cases.  no more covid deaths.  and then just had the media show pictures of cute cats.

 

Sheep test:   You don't think about other countries who are NOT in the news, so you can only comment on America, UK, etc.....  

 

Sheep test:  You cannot think for yourself and ask questions about other countries, since the media doesn't cover them

 

Sheep test:  You can only blame who the media tells you to blame

 

Sheep test:  Your thoughts about history were all wrong, but you were only listening to others and reading books by people who you were told to read.  

 

Sheep test:  Africa?  Ahhh..... well, ah..... wait, the news is on Trump!!  my mind must be on Trump!!!

That was on January 21. At the end of that month it was declared a global threat, and fauci had changed his tune. But the administration did nothing for the whole of February and a big part of march.

Are the 400,000 that die each more important than money?No they are not.Why not?If most people understand your top three reasons why don't they apply the same understanding to those 400,000 flu victims each and every year.4 million over the last ten years!What will be the state of the world these people will emerge from their homes into What jobs?

Your sudden concern for human life is heartwarming.

 

In the rest of the developed world, universal health care, free flu shots for the most vulnerable sections of society puts paid to your argument. 
 

But discussing the merits of universal health care is starting to be waaaay off topic, so I shall stop.

That’s like saying, “nobody died from sky diving accidents after they banned skydiving.”

Well, duh.

If there hadn’t been a lockdown, the usual number of people would’ve died of all the usual causes PLUS 50+ thousand, PLUS the additional people thus infected, PLUS additional deaths due to other causes as a result of shortage of hospital beds as more Covid patients take up more beds and medical resources.

I bet you have brainwashed your teenage daughter, even if you do not realize it. 

 

Let your daughter know Sweden is open, and their medical system is not overwhelmed. Let us know what she thinks about that.
