210K Americans dead and people are also ignoring that there are many survivors that have chronic health issues 3-6 months with a possibility of much, much longer. These realities don't seem to register with the deniers unless it impacts someone they know. Trump getting in that car was absurd political theater showing once again that the only people Donny truly cares about are himself and his family ( in that order ).

So... what do we do. Stay in hiding forever? We tried hiding and when we came out the virus exploded. Look at nine morons model country... his beloved Canada. The virus is exploding... Look at the level. its just like it was before the shutdown... What good did forcing the low risk hide out do again? Why would it better to lock down going forward? Don't people have a right to live, if they wish? If you are scared... whether you are high risk or not... isolate and have amazon deliver everything. That is fine by us. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada
It was a bioweapon... that superspreader Hope Hicks. AND she infected everyone with COVID as well. For the GOP idiots among you.... she’s easy.
Many countries that came out of "Full Lockdown" and stated they will not do a second "Full Lockdown" again. Instead, they are doing "targeted lockdowns" of Covid-19 hotspots. For example, pretend a country has three cities...one of those cities gets a lot of citations for health code violations in the Pandemic / Increasing Infections / Increasing Deaths while the others seem to be normal (socially responsible people following the rules)... The government / health officials will target and lockdown that problematic city only until the numbers begin trending down. Canada is one of those countries. As for the United States, I was looking at a recent Covid-19 map of the United States...if you're so worried...you could move or take a long vacation to Nevada (circle in green) or Maine (circle in blue). Seriously, people normally move to another city or state for better employment, better weather, better opportunities, better education or even move to another country so that their children will have a better education/life...why not do the same for better Covid-19 responses or to live in a community with socially responsible citizens during a Pandemic ??? Note: Alaska looks good too. wrbtrader
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/05/health/contact-tracing-white-house.html White House Is Not Contact Tracing ‘Super-Spreader’ Rose Garden Event Since President Trump’s Covid diagnosis, numerous associates have tested positive, but the White House has not aggressively investigated the outbreak. Despite almost daily disclosures of new coronavirus infections among President Trump’s close associates, the White House is making little effort to investigate the scope and source of its outbreak. The White House has decided not to trace the contacts of guests and staff members at the Rose Garden celebration 10 days ago for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, where at least eight people, including the president, may have become infected, according to a White House official familiar with the plans. Instead, it has limited its efforts to notifying people who came in close contact with Mr. Trump in the two days before his Covid diagnosis Thursday evening. It has also cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has the government’s most extensive knowledge and resources for contact tracing, out of the process. Contact tracing is an essential piece of any outbreak investigation and is a key to stopping the virus from spreading further, especially after a potential “super spreader” event where many people may have been infected.
were you reading my comment 180 from how I meant it on purpose? amen to the end of full lockdowns. I am concerned about our moron governor threatening to lock down San Diego again. Can you believe the moron closed the beaches for a while? If we stay open we get immunity. When we tell the low risk to shelter in place, we lose some immunity and start over from a lower level of protection. Targeted local lockdowns around superspreader events. I cited an article about that back in april or may. That is how we should have handled this from the beginning except maybe in New York and S.F. where there was some concern about hospitals running out of beds.
The fact is that the the resources were not available for "targeted lockdowns" nor were there enough PPE for such along with the fact that not only was there no vaccine / no approved therapeutic drug... The United States needed to do a full lockdown to get prepared and then it screw that up via making Covid-19 a political thing that was more important than Covid-19 as a health crisis. They then re-open when they thought they were prepared. Today there is such and they're better prepared because they know more about Covid-19, more PPE is available for front line workers and many companies working on a vaccine. Also, there's now emergency therapeutic drugs for Covid-19 severe illness cases. The above was not available in the beginning for the United States in this Pandemic. Look at it this way, some countries were ready (e.g South Korea) and others like the United States were not ready. It really is simple as that. Instead of playing hindsight analysis about a situation the United States was not ready to manage due to poor leadership from the Trump administration... I don't know anything about your beaches in San Diego. For example, are people over crowing the beaches, not social distancing or being reckless ? If so...shut the damn thing down to protect the community...called targeted lockdown so that the rest of the businesses in San Diego can stay open. Yet, if your livelihood is on the San Diego beach such as a cafe, restaurant or any other business that's dependent upon tourist / people to go to the beach where your business / job is located at... Makes sense to be mad at your Governor that's threatening to shut it down when people are not being socially responsible. Yet, don't lose site for the reason of the shut down by your Governor because people are fucking up in San Diego instead of being responsible. Then again, you do not wear a face mask. Thus, the Governors threat may be appropriate if there's many people like you using the San Diego beaches and not socially distancing. Governor Newsom said those packed beaches were "disturbing" and makes it more difficult for him to consider relaxing the state's mandatory stay-at-home order. Once again, Covid-19 is a new disease in a country that was not prepared while other countries were prepared. That's the primary reason why you can't use the South Korea model nor Sweden model. By the way, South Korea has low numbers (better than Sweden) because they have better leadership at the top, a culture already use to wearing face masks because of pollution problems and a healthcare system suitable to managing diseases like Covid-19 so that they were able to keep their country open...avoiding a lockdown. Stop bitching and move to Sweden or South Korea. I lived in South Korea for a few years...I enjoyed life there. Great people and one of the best healthcare systems in the world. wrbtrader
People still need to go to the grocery store and get food, go to a hair salon to get their hair done, go out to walk or exercise. Since, Corona Virus is airborne, you can in fact get it from multiple places even though, you might not be aware of it. That said, wide open spaces like parks or the beach are the safest places when you are out. Doctors have explained the virus droplets get dispersed by the wind so, even if you were to get hit when out and about say jogging or walking along the beach, your chances of getting a good dose of droplets to make you sick is minimal. I do not agree with the mass shutdowns of everything. Now, the airlines figured it out ahead of the politicians weaponizing Corona Virus for their political benefit and nothing else. What a novel idea of testing a passenger before they board an airplane? They should have been cleaning the air in grocery stores, casinos, hospitals by retrofitting buildings to pass air thru ultraviolet rays before dispersing it back into areas whether shoppers and staff are working. It probably, will cost less and allow most of us to get back to going about our lives. We can also, wear masks on top of that. November 4, 2020, all the BS ends because Corona Virus as a political weapon would be useless.
You see I am not playing hindsight. I have been singing the same tune since March. We cited a paper here by the foremost financial modeler in the world, De Prado, back then in which he modeled this out and concluded, you should only lock down the high risk for a short time and then you let the low risk out because there is no advantage to keep them locked down. De Prado was correct. I also predicted that after the shutdown the virus would breakout while morons here were arguing otherwise. 2. Resources were never stretched out too far... outside of NY Seattle and maybe S.F. It became apparent to most in the medical indus what resources were not available. we lived through the shutdown here. after 3 weeks it was apparent to everyone outside of New York the hospitals were empty. nurses and doctors were starting to get laid off after that. 3. the breakout of the virus has nothing to do with social responsiblity. We have very little Covid in San Diego where I live. Ist warm here and we get vitamin D. Much of our Covid is at the border.... because it comes over the border. see the map... Much of the issue comes from multigenerational homes and the immigrant community. are you claiming they are being irresponsible? https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/tracking-coronavirus-cases-san-diego-county You can move back to Korea. I have family here and I love it here when we don't have morons destroying businesses and lives. I have be giving you the benefit of a the doubt so I have been civil to you. But you are starting to turn into the typical lefty here.
