Assuming there's not a second wave...you'll see the economy recover steadily...

Testing positive means very little. Testing positive means that the Wuhan Virus is in your system. You would be amazed at all the things that are in your system. It is only when the presence of something is exceedingly large that it makes a difference.

Related concepts - viral load - amount of virus necessary in someone's system to pass it to another person. This concept is underdefined.

Key variable is deaths. I know there is a lag between infect and death but Death is still the deciding factor of how serious the situation is.

At all times know - Some groups want the virus to last forever because they get more government money that way. It also excuses a lot of people for doing nothing. It also attracts money to hospitals and research.

To sensationalize is to get more gov money.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention to the 124,000 mom's, dad's, husband's, wives, and loved ones who have died in the past 4 months? That number is steadily going up, we crossed 100,000 just 3 weeks ago! So yeah, it's about deaths, not a bunch of hand waving about viral loads and "some groups" who you quite abhorrently claim want the virus to "last forever". And there's quite a lot of those, deaths that is.

BTW, the people you're demonizing with no justification whatsoever happen to be the ones applying real science toward a vaccine and actual cures.

You're an idiot but a useful example as to why the US has a lot of infections. Getting the virus can create long term health issues the medical community cannot quantify yet. It is in fact a lingering serious issue for many living people who recently had the virus.

Cure? Do you know what you are talking about? Vaccine, if found will be 30-40% effective.

Context, About 1.4Million people in the US have died under normal circumstances this year, so an extra 10%, many of which are over 85 like most and most likely wouldn't of lived till the end of the year anyway. Likely be a 2% increase end of the year on the deaths.

The Media want it for ever, which is what counts, they where putting out only 5% of the UK have been infected this week, which is just insane, there earning crazy ad click revenue.

UK only 200 have died without serious ie dying already below 50 and then only 1000 in total younger than 50, but kids are scared, it's killing 1 in 3.5Million Childred younger than 18, your odds of dying in a car crash are literally 2x's higher.

This is a Democratic strategy - get the government to pay for everything.

If I am wrong give me a Republican government that is shouting - "Help, help, we need help. We never had anything but now there is a pandemic we should have everything."

Never worked but wants lots = Democrat.

I am a Democrat. I never did anything but I want lots and lots. The news is all I have to do is vote and I will get lots and lots of free stuff.

Why are some people denying the seriousness of this? It's killing thousands weekly and is a threat

Because your in a country ( US?) where approx 54,000 die per week, you've done lockdowns and all they've done at great cost is delay what's going to happen at huge cost money, jobs and mental health wise.

Without Lockdowns you'd be further through and nearly over, you can't actually fight this thing it's gone to far for Lockdowns to work and even in those places it's coming back, therefore pointless.

The Deaths are small compared to normal deaths, being 2.8Mil per year, but they don't tell you this, they pretend nobody dies to make the Covid deaths seem worse.

Thank you. I dont know anyone thinks a vaccine will equal 100% effectiveness...it won't.
