Sorry, but there are solutions to ALL problems, albeit some are far from perfect; some are very close to that measure.

That way even if it does return next season, we will have the tools to manage it. Not necessarily cure it, and not prevent it 100% but MINIMIZE the risk, MINIMIZE the suffering, MINIMIZE the deaths that result from it.

We have no way of doing that currently except to shut things down and keep everyone away from each other. That obviously isn't something we can do long-term. It is a temporary pause so they can come up with something better, for the next time it happens.

Why our cure is worse than the disease! We have inflicted permanent damage to the very fabric of this country, under the guise of fixing it! Even in the very best of scenarios it will take MORE THAN a generation to recover, as a country, just to the point we were when the shut down occurred. (1) At the national level, the first relief package to repay for shutdown was $2.4 TRILLION, and there's talk of up to 3 more similar packages. Don't even try to get your head around what this will do to future capabilities of our federal government! They (we) are crippled for the next generation. (2) The effect at state level is easier to understand since city, county, and state governments are required by law to actually have money before they spend it. They can not live in the fiscal fantasy world our congress has created. The first moment of the shut down we created 30 Million newly unemployed, with many more following. Unemployment payments are a state responsibility. With the shut down we actually, and literally, bankrupted every state. So to compensate, the feds authorized loaning every state the needed money from the Federal Reserve. Eleven states have so far applied. (California, NY. NJ. Connecticut, Illinois, Texas, Mass. Ohio, West VA, Washington.) Pardon, but can't resist laughing about California. Upon shut down they authorized $150 million in payments to illegal "sanctuary" immigrants since the Feds did not include them in their corona virus program. Then the next day they applied for a $10.1 billion federal loan to pay their unemployed, because California is broke.

Where is the comparison of the normal number of deaths from all other causes compared to COVID19? I believe the media/goverment is instill fear as a method of thought control. Things are never as bad as portrayed nor as good as pictured. Get with living...your life

Actually watched a person taking pictures, walked around both restaurants multiple times before taking a picture, from the outside.

If you looked at the angle the picture was taken, it looked like everybody was sitting on top of each other. Not the 6 feet each table was really spaced at. Took a lot of patience to finally get the picture that will make those restaurants look bad. Such a shame

Why are we opening, think of those who have no income, no food for their children, and no way to pay rent. The system failed those who apply for unemployment

This is the way the MSM pulls their chicanery to further their agenda all the time. Unfortunately, we, the Great Unwashed, are too naïve to see through their deceit … or, at least many of us

CDC says 80,000 died from the Flu in 2017/2018 season, varies per year depending on strain

Flu season deaths top 80,000 last year, CDC says - CNN

Yes. What is/has been the daily/weekly death rate before the virus compared to the current exploited virus numbers?

Then compare to the infection and death rate for the annual flu.

There seems to be a need by the media and those in authority to retain a fear factor.

And let us not forget that certain number attainments equate to monetary benefits from the state or federal coffers.

Also the stats didn’t say anything about how many millions of people that don’t have jobs to go back to. This is a terrible pressure for a president to have to think about. Personally I think both political parties should get together & figure this epidemic out first instead of thinking about how to get their party elected! You said it exactly right, graciegirl.

You ought to know these numbers are highly inflated. Way too much false news about this virus. All of which is to keep many living in fear. As long as they effectively do so it will continue to help promote the hidden agenda of this shutdown.

[Lindsyburnsy]

The curve has flattened? Maybe the lack of testing and reporting is flattening. We can be gaslit into believing all is well, but don't be fooled. DeSantis doesn't want to count those that don't live full time in Florida, to the overall count. So if someone lives in Kentucky, but dies or tests positive for Covid 19, in Ohio, they don't count as deaths or confirmed cases in Ohio? Say what?
