The saddest part is they were doing just fine listening to their local elected officials. It wasn't until cultist Governor had to follow the cult's lead that shit started going down hill. https://www.star-telegram.com/news/coronavirus/article244443257.html The situation was not always as dire in this rural South Texas county. Starr County once went about three weeks without a COVID-19 case at the beginning of the pandemic. It banned large gatherings, tested hundreds of residents a day, issued stay-at-home orders and required face masks — many of the same mandates now commonplace across the U.S. The poor and mostly Latino county on the Mexico border was containing COVID-19. “A model for the country,” Starr County Judge Eloy Vera said Tuesday — as he shared an update that now appears gloomy. In April, its aggressive and successful approach to beating the coronavirus was spotlighted by NBC News. “We are very proud at this point that our numbers are very low, considering we are an at-risk population and the disparity in medical services and our low socio-economic population,” Joel Villareal, mayor of county seat Rio Grande City, told NBC News. “We rank as one of the poorest counties in the nation. However, that does not deter us.” But after Gov. Greg Abbott issued orders for the reopening of the state, overriding local control and decision-making, COVID-19 cases surged. Now Starr County is at a dangerous “tipping point,” reporting an alarming number of new cases each day, data show. Starr County Memorial Hospital — the county’s only hospital — is overflowing with COVID-19 patients.
Young people aren't dying, litereally 4 below 18 dead on the UK, that's it. Loads of them and a TV show I'm watching on Netflix.
I consider good performance, getting it over with, without screwing up there country and keeping there deaths low, so only Sweden in my book have done well, the others after great expense will all get the Sweden just later. UK has done Sweden but with lockdowns which only done the damage so the worst possible case. Read that news, South Korea about to be hit. I have no idea on China, they should of continued to run up after lockdowns as barely had, there confusing to say the least, only country not making sense mind.
Now it's going to bug me until I figure out the title to that film. Thanks a lot wrb! *rude gesture* edit: Captain Walker! Ahhh, that is what they called him.
Found it. The scenes I remembered were from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Totally not the same thing as the plot of a virus wiping out adults and leaving the kids. I get to fail myself.
That could be what wrb is thinking of (I don't remember LotF being about a virus, just kids trying to establish a hierarchy), but the scenes I was on about were from Mad Max BT, so I failed, because Mad Max plot was not about kids being left alive while all adults were dead.
Nah Plane crash kids left alone. DayBreaker in the Netflix TV show, might of been based on ?? No vampire film. SG1 episode, Kids die on reaching 18 so just kids, might of been virus.
A vaccine will most likely be here before next summer and hopefully approved by the fall of next year. All countries can then go for herd immunity without killing off millions. Yet, the countries with the most deaths prior to the discovery of a vaccine will not be forgotten for their poor performance in dealing with the Covid-19. The countries I've talked about are all in the top 20 for worst performance: USA (1st) Brazil Italy France Canada Sweden (20th) The above is from worst to least worst in the top 20 list. Strangely, three of those countries that I follow...they have leaders that believe in herd immunity. Maybe its just a coincidence ? Here's your research for the weekend. There are other countries on the bottom of the list that I have not talked about. They have incredible performance against the Covid-19. Guess what...they also did a lockdown without ruining their economy. That then raises another question for you to answer, why are those countries succeeding with a lockdown and other countries (e.g. USA and Brazil) are doing poorly after a lockdown ? Hint: The issue is not the lockdown...maybe its how they re-open, good leaders and socially responsible citizens that take care of each other without the divisive via making a health crisis a political event. wrbtrader
