The Coronavirus Thread...

At this point I'm just hoping for herd immunity and that it's slowed enough to not overwhelm hospitals.

At this point I'm just hoping for herd immunity and that it's slowed enough to not overwhelm hospitals.

Unless they quickly find a vaccine that can be mass produced and distributed world wide at a record pace, then it seems pretty clear all we're doing is delaying the inevitable so hospitals aren't overwhelmed and in the hope we can slow down infections to give time for a vaccine to be found but the latter is no guarantee and could take years or never happen at all.

Given the massive costs to the economy, quality of life, effect on mental health to many and the unrest that is exacerbated by too much time on peoples hands, I wonder if we wouldn't be better off having the gov do a massive, nationwide program of auxiliary temporary hospitals (I thought we already did this in many places and don't understand whey they would have ever been taken down--assuming they have) to handle massive uptake In infections & get PPE and any drugs stock piled for several worse case scenarios.

Then remove all restraints and tell everyone to go live at whatever risk they want to take on but if your elderly or have pre-existing conditions then recommend they stay quarantined (at their choice) until herd immunity is achieved or a vaccine is discovered.

Am I missing something? Is this crazy talk?

Fuck I saw a bunch of people with COVID today. Still more dumbasses coming in who know they have it but have nausea or bodyaches or some other typical symptoms which don't at all justify endangering the lives of others with an ER visit. People suck.

But I also had two old people with mild symptoms but horrible looking imaging and low O2. I'm worried Dallas hospitals are gonna be overwhelmed shortly just as Houston is.

Seriously? What in the fuck is that?

A simple graph wouldn’t suffice?

I swear to God, the liberal mind is worth wasting.

I see people wearing masks alone in their car while driving. Why?

Probably forgot. It is on them if they don't.

So, why do all of these viruses seem to all come from China? Weird, right?
