We are ALL going to get it, just High risk later preferably, unless your on the ISS there is no hiding from this maybe north pole research centre. You can't erridicate it, it'll come back, have it, suffer for a few days, be immune to it ( might cause death ), just slow it's spread to help the health care.

Well there you are. How many months or years are we going to keep half the country out of work until 200 million+ people have contracted the virus, and become immune?

The more you lockdown and isolate the longer it'll take.

The question is, how many have had it, most might not realise, there is a protein test see if you've had it, a large random test to find out, would be good.

These things spread quickly, could find 1/2 your populations had it and didn't care already if so, then the shit show is nearly over already :)
 
I can't believe it's even a debate.

HUMAN LIFE IS WAY FUCKING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ECONOMY.

That's the only time in 14 years here I've shouted all caps.

Anybody who values people working, infecting and killing our treasured seniors is a fucking psychopath, period. Mortality rates in NYC are skyrocketing among 18-65 year olds, too, it kills all ages

Wake the fuck up. This is the biggest life-killer of our generation. STAY HOME , don't be like those now-infected Florida spring break fucktards

99% of the world rely on the economy to eat, have a place to live, and take care of their kids.

Nobody is saying "human life" is not as important as the economy. We're saying the economy is more important than people getting infected with coronavirus. Don't conflate the two.

Poverty is a great cause of death and mental and physical health. If you care about Human life, you have to weigh how many dead from Coronavirus vs how many die or become unhealthy because of poverty.

In this case, the cure(quarantine) is going to kill more than the virus.
 
The US people have always accepted a large number of preventable deaths every year.

An estimated 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women)
die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading
preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco,
and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.

Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year

So far, 16,000 people have died and 280,000 people have been hospitalized
during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC.

That is 584,000 preventable deaths EVERY YEAR.

Give me a break!
 
Cuomo asked for 20K ventilators that the Feds have, until NYC passes the apex. (After that they would send them to the next city.) They are sending them 400.

I guess the government clearly made its choice. After all most New Yorkers are Democrats.

I'm pretty darn sure Cuomo is going to have something juicy to say during his next briefing, about Trump's retort during his Rose Garden "Town Hall" thing where he went, "Cuomo had a chance to get 20,000 ventilators in 2015. He didn't want to buy them. He just didn't do it. He could have had them."

Man, Trump really was grasping for straws to come up with that asstastic stat-line.

They are finally sending 4000. Funny thing about Trump; he told the governors to go out and get stuff on the free market. When they did, Trump outbid them....

Agreed 100%.

But why all the scare media ?? why all the Bullshit and massaged numbers, there not lying but there confusing people into thinking it's 6% people can't do basic maths so easy, crippling the markets, closing stuff down, all to protect old people ( Millenials themselves really ) they don't care about old people, they lock them in homes and forget them.

Trump doesn't seem to be in on it, he's confused as to what you all going on about.

What are the worlds leaders hiding or trying to achieve?????? What's the point of all the choas??

Anyone any sensible ish ideas??

Election year. Democrats and left wing media have been praying for a market crash in the hopes it will dethrone Trump because they know a senile old man like Biden can't win if the economy is good.
