The Biden plan is a very reasonable plan to help us in the short, intermediate, and long term with COVID.

You guys look like you could use a little help on this blog

Biden can no more stop the run of this virus than remember where he is on any given day
Its gonna run it's course and you should simply say,
"Thank you Covid for vanquishing the Orange clown!"

Without it, Joe would have been crushed
So altogether now....

Thank you, Covid!

not get sick after all we've been though. The chance of getting COVID-19 grows
everyday. This is going to get worse because there's nothing in it for trump.
He always does worst thing possible.

I already had the stupid COVID shit and it's no big deal.

Just don't be old, have serious health conditions, or otherwise be immuno-compromised.

I had a cold for two days. Fever one day, stuffy nose the next. Day 3 felt back to normal!!! Wasn't even sick long enough to lose a few pounds. Unfortunately quarantined for two full weeks until I received two negative tests...for the good of the community.

But COVID is total bullshit for 99% of us, and is costing us trillions in economic losses.

conveniently they left out his comments criticizing a chinese travel ban as xenophobic

Everything Joe wants, Trump is already doing except an national mask mandate. Trump has allowed the states to initiate their own requirement,....we are the United States.....the Federal government doesn't control everything....except that is what the Dems want.

Lockdowns don't work. Just look at San Francisco. Its having a spike in cases despite being in the state with the strictest lockdown. SF was hailed for how it handled China virus but its a mess. Like Bolsonaro recently said we will all get sick and die someday but can't keep living scared like a faggot lmao. Dems are faggots. Lockdowns are what people that don't know what they're doing do

The news on vaccines looks positive. It is the only way to accomplish herd immunity if enough people get it. In the meantime we have to take measures to protect the population. With the spike in cases in some regions the numbers of deaths will increase. Perhaps by a lot. Kaiser in the LA area is now at full capacity. It is irresponsible and dangerous not to do anything.

Ticketmaster had the brainiac idea to require your health data before you attend any shows.


You would have to be total moron to give your health data to TM or any other non health company.

I think you libertarian types have a hart time understanding that because this is a highly contagious transmissible disease, personal responsibility only goes so far in preventing people from getting it. Mask wearing, social distancing, and even isolation only go so far in protecting an individual from getting COVID-19. The most important factor is number of cases in the community, which depends on EVERYONE. This is, again, a highly contagious disease, and it's easy to get, even if you try to protect yourself as best as you could. As a community, we need to work on lowering case numbers by UNIVERSAL (95%+) mask wearing, social distancing, and the introduction of take-home paper antigen testing. The government also has the right to restrict or even close venues to get the number of cases down. Now, I agree, lockdowns are destructive and should only be used for a short period of time as a "nuclear" option when all other interventions wouldn't work, but lockdowns shouldn't be taken off the table.

The next few months are going to be very bad, possibly worse than the initial episode in March, if history of other pandemics such as the Spanish 1918 flu is our guide, and I wouldn't be surprised if short-period lockdowns occur sporadically throughout the country. They already have been called for in Chicago and New Mexico.

Again, the belief in every-person-for-himself is a dangerous and foolhardy proposition. When cases go up, data has shown that eventually even the most vulnerable that is playing by the rules will get hit with a significant number of cases. We are in this together, for better or worse.

^^^fuck off. Lockdown didn't work the first time so wtf makes u think it will this time? CA has basically been shut fown since March yet SF is spiking and you can't go anywhere in CA without wearing a mask. Hiding in your house won't make things better. You have to stop being a bitch and deal with it. Locking down and going into a depression all so a few 95 years olds with comorbidities don't die is not a smart strategy.

Lockdown strategies do work at lowering transmission of the virus. The lockdown strategy we did in March and April did work. The problem is the other damage that goes along with it. Realize that lockdowns are temporary and their effects of getting transmission under control, therefore, are temporary too. What policies you have in place after lockdowns matter greatly, and that's where we fucked up. We opened up way too fast and allowed for transmission to get out of control. We've got a better handling on that now, but the colder weather is making people stay indoors a lot more, and that's increasing transmission.

It's a disease that affects more than 95 year olds with comorbities. A large percentage of Americans have comorbities, maybe 40%. It's been shown that excessive deaths are significantly up in the 25-44 year old range this year, likely due to COVID-19. 10% of people who have mild COVID end up with long-term problems with their brains, kidneys, lungs, or heart. Look up "long haulers." The percentage is much higher for people who went to the hospital.

I see many people out and about not wearing masks. When they have to, yes people wear masks, but not everywhere when they're around other people.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's could be the perfect storm to accelerate the spread of Covid. It's a good year to skip travel and large gatherings.

Let me be clear about something, because I haven't been. I am against more lockdowns in an area unless it's thought that hospitals are going to get overwhelmed there. That's when a lot of deaths are going to occur, and not only for those who normally may die, but those who might normally be ok when they get hospital care.

I'm worried that many areas are going to have their hospitals overwhelmed.

This tweet from a front line ER nurse about witnessing people hospitalized from COVID-19 who are still thinking it's a hoax boggles the mind!

^A pipe dream if people get reinfected. Also, seroprevalence isn’t that high in many areas in America, and a lot of people would have to die to even have a chance, that’s if we didn’t get reinfected.

A vaccine you take periodically is our best bet to reach what may be a semblance of herd immunity without all those deaths and minimizing repeat infections.

It would be great if our leaders would just show us the data
that they base their decisions. But they don't.
And the media continues to project fear into the population.
As I mentioned many times before the CDC data shows:
80% covid-19 deaths 65 and older
12% 55-64
5% 45-54
2% 35-44
1% under 34
The younger you are, the less likely you will die of the virus.
Many Dem politicians took the positions of saving lives at all costs.
In the CA, the result has been a destroyed economy.
Many people have gotten Covid-19 and most have survived
but government has given everyone the NO LIFE VIRUS,
that also has resulted in deaths and misery.

Unfortunately, particularly in CA and NY, there will be more misery
to come since these states are destroying their revenue sources.

^Again, those numbers occur only if hospitals aren’t overcrowded. You’d likely get a lot more deaths in the younger groups if we have hospitals being overwhelmed so that people who normally would be hospitalized can’t get adequate care. 20% of hospitalizations are ages 25-49. 30% are ages 50-64. 50% are ages 65+.

Just isolating old people won’t work. The disease will make its way to them if we don’t reduce new cases.

And death isn’t the only problem. 10% of even mild cases can get debilitating long-term conditions.

Because of all of this, we shouldn’t fully open the economy until we can lower cases via other means such as widespread antigen paper testing. And we should consider a short distance lockdown if hospitals are going to get overwhelmed due to excessive deaths that could bleed through to younger healthier groups that can’t get adequate hospital care.

US case farality rate is 2.3%. A month or so ago it was 2 .8%. The people pushing for lockdowns are the ones who don't know what they're doing. Zeke Emanuel says people should not live past 75 and he also said masks are useless. Another adviser for stupid Joe said a lockdown would improve the economy. Who are these idiots? Europe is a disaster rn except for Sweden. Any government official advocating for lockdown should not take their salary because they're not a serious person. Remember biden said shut down the virus not the economy

The economy is already being destroyed in CA so a continued shutdown will only
make things worse. So at this time, you have to keep businesses open and
take your best shot at not getting the virus, in my opinion.
Trump has already stated there will be no Fed shutdown of businesses.
It will left to the governors of each state to determine how to handle the virus.
Those states that continue shutdowns face a bleak economic future.
The mayor of Chicago, Laurie Lightfoot, is already begging for money.
