Maybe if our governmental leaders had...or....would put together a comprehensive testing and tracking plan we could determine where exposure came from, notify potentially exposed people, and minimize the numbers getting the virus and subsequent deaths......

My primary news source indicates we have rounded the curve and the epidemic ended the day after the election and we have now returned to normal life!

Why expose a huge percentage of the population to the virus when a vaccine is so close to reality. It does not make sense to have the huge amount of deaths it would take to develop herd immunity naturally?

We should all hang in there a while longer for the safe way to achieve herd immunity with the vaccine. In the meantime, follow the CDC guidelines to do your part to slow the spread of the virus. There are too many people out there that do not believe in the CDC guidelines and look at where we are right now in this pandemic. Hospitals are becoming over whelmed not to mention our health care workers and first responders are are not only stressed out but can not keep up the pace to care for our sick. I can not believe this is the America we have right now. It is more like a nightmarish hell.

I was extremely disappointed when the White House refused to contact trace after the Rose Garden super spreader event. That is pure negligence on the administration's part. What kind of example are they setting for America? I'm actually embarrassed for their total disregard for this global pandemic.

Interesting how the news media tells us what to think. We all heard about how the recent rally in The Villages would be another Super Spreader event. “Peaceful protests” were okay according to the media, but rallies were Super Spreaders. Now that more than two weeks have passed since the rally and there has been no surge of new cases, you have heard nothing more from the media. The media sells fear to promote their agenda. They tell you what you should believe. And because they package it as “news” people accept it as fact.

Some people are exceedingly accomplished at doing this.

Yes, they ARE, that is an actually fact; that many are skilled at manipulation and emotional people are especially vulnerable !

But it can be over come if/when people conquer their emotional reactions (with professional help or can be done on their own with practice), and begin to verify ( don't look to Facebook for their facts, or even the CDC which revered gears again yesterday on exactly what masks can and can not do), but one CAN begin a routine of thinking rationally, not emotionally.

I heard over 400 have died from covid that was traced back to these rally. I guess it is who you believe, the scientists or fox tv.

That's because people still watch FAKE NEWS CNN, etc. and believe all the lies they spready day in, day out. After 4 years of their crap, you would think they would have the intelligence to switch the channel or turn it off!
