A point actually MADE in the article... In other words, no matter how promising, they are going whichever direction they can to enable the TDS.
How dare you post contradiction. Will you just shut up and accept what she posts as fact. She wouldn't be posting it if it weren't fact.
WHO destroyed economy on false premise. Only action needed was for sick people (mild or otherwise) to stay home and at-risk individuals to stay home and everyone else practice social distance at work, church, school, etc.
This coupled with the "it's ok to protest" blessing will and should ruin the credibility of public health experts. See how dumb it sounds to just mindlessly scream, "Science!!!!"?
Yep. Gotta admit you pretty much had this right and that I was far more deferential to them than they deserved. These guys have completely blown their credibility and exposed themselves as the political hacks that they are.
I honestly believe they did so to prevent “toilet paperesque” runs on N-95 masks. We were able to secure masks for all of our providers, but we started early. There was definitely a shortage of clinical masks.
But if this thing wasn't spreading through asymptomatic carriers, then it wasn't a smart policy to force everyone to wear any kind of mask.
Ha, ha. Crisis is the new normal. We've been in constant crisis since 2016 at least. The Russian Collusion crisis, Kavanaugh Crisis, The Impeachment, Coronavirus, Minneapolis, and a half dozen others I can't even remember. When Ted Turner launched CNN back in the day. I thought it was a dumb idea. Who'd want to watch 24-hour news? But, the 24-hour news cycle changed (ruined?) our lives. Now the 24-hour news pushers have to have an ongoing crisis to keep us watching or reading on the internet. If there isn't one, they manufacture one. Every time Trump's hair blows when he's getting on Air Force 1 we hear about it.
Agree @Clean — I prefer to mostly avoid the “news” (noise) as I think much of it is just fleeting drama created to sell advertising and instill fear.
I hate to say it like this, but with each passing day it appears more and more evident that those of us on the more pragmatic, sensible, and, shall I say, traditional-minded side of things are right about everything and those on the "other" side are wrong about literally everything. I expect the future to be more of the same.
Yes Rain BUT the people with the dangerous opinions ( get rid of police? Open boarders to all? reparations? universal income? et etc) have the media to trumpet crap over and over.
Yep....the main takeaway from most everything we have been experiencing for awhile now has to be the imminent danger to our people, our society, our way of life, and life itself that the deceptive, agenda-driven, malicious news/narrative makers (political, bureaucratic, and media) present. They are, in fact, traitors, but that isn't even their worst crime.
Read today: Now that I have been through an actual plague, I understand why Italian renaissance paintings are full of fat naked people laying around on couches.
@Mr. Deez. I don't expect many on this board to consider contrary evidence, but I do hope you will reconsider jumping to such a hasty conclusion. The term "asymptomatic" does not mean what most people think it does. Someone is "asymptomatic" if they go through the entire course of an infection without showing symptoms. A patient who has no current symptoms but will develop them later is called "pre-symptomatic". Notably, the infection rate for pre-symptomatic patients is much higher than for asymptomatic patients. Thus, the point still remains that people who appear to be perfectly healthy may still be in a position to spread the virus. Sorry for not giving links, but this information is on the front page of every major news outlet I've checked. Except for Fox, that is -- but it is only the liberal media that is biased.
Want to know the truth? All infectious diseases have a pre-Symptomatic period. Is it worse for coronavirus? Who knows, but the infectious rate is obviously lower for pre-symptomatic folks than for folks with full blown symptoms as people are coughing and sneezing up a lung.
