If the best way to fight this virus Is a “stay-home, close businesses” plan - then why after this amount of time are the daily numbers of new cases / deaths still rising?
Are jobs and in some cases irreversible economic loss being sacrificed for a realistically uncontrollable scenario?

How long will it be before we see T-shirts that say, "I've had Covid-19. I can NOT infect you".

The media didn’t gin up the fear and panic as much as now. That’s not to say that this shouldn’t be taken seriously. As I’ve mentioned on other threads, the Wuhan virus is deadly serious for approximately 4% of those who contract. There’s an added level of anxiety since we have no vaccine, but the fact still remains that approximately 96% of cases are classified as “mild”, and 98% of cases recover.

I look very skeptically at conspiracy theories, but I can’t help but think that there is a lot we aren’t being told and that sinister political posturing games are being played by everyone involved.

We will probably get a vacine for COVID-19, too bad we haven't found a vacine for ignorance and stupidy.

Nope.

With Coronavirus we have ZERO people vaccinated, and so far about 34,000 deaths, which the CDC is trying to inflate by counting people who die at home. If we apply that same logic to the 2018 flu deaths then you would be over 100,000 deaths from the “regular “ flu.

So it looks like we need to shut down the country every year, for at least 2 months, until we are all living in huts, or tents if you’re a camper.

There is a reason the word “sheeple” was invented...
And the New Stanford study reinforces the folly by government. Showing that it’s not 3%. It’s 1/10 of one percent. Wow.

Are numbers of deaths still rising? I keep hearing the curve is flattening, including NYC. As for the increase in numbers of cases, that is a given with more and more testing being done. There are many asymptomatic cases out there that we don't even know about. More testing = more positive results, including those who are asymptomatic.

Fauci and Gates have a vested interest in vaccines for Covid-19 (aka SARS-CoV-2). They stand to make $billions. The MSM is lying to you. Look on line, e.g. Paul Craig Roberts.

Hi all.. I'm just going to relay a phone conversation we had this morning with someone who lives in NYC and both of them had Covid... they are recovered, however, I don't think we are hearing the real stories like they are hearing in NY City.. Many of their friends have had it and one 39 year old friend was in a coma for 3 weeks.. and now is coming out of it.. his body has atrophied so bad that he still can't text and is still in the hospital.. another friend, because his organs were shutting down had his leg amputated.. and this disease is really affecting the liver and they are now short on dialysis machines.. these are all young healthy people.. NO PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS..
No one is immune to this.. I know it's hard, but we've put all this time in so far.. why blow it now by trying to get out there in the public. Some one put it the best this way.. If you were offered a bowl of skittles and they told you 2 of them in the 100 would kill you.. would you even try one!!!
This Covid is REAL PEOPLE.. We may not be hearing all the stories which may change your mind about it.. BUT I JUST DID!!!!! Gov. Coumo stated the the highest concentration of pos covid is not in NYC, it is in a small rural town mid NY state.. So you don't need a mass of people close together.. all it takes is the virus to plant hold.. YOU NEED TO KNOW.. I WANT THIS OVER AS MUCH AS YOU DO.. As a small Business.. I am paying huge rent, and can not be open.. it's not just keeping my home abreast.. I have a store front that I'm paying rent for with utilities..and I CANNOT BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.. it's taking a toll..PEOPLE LISTEN..stop making this political... these are our lives, our parents lives, our children..,PAY ATTENTION.. DO WHAT IS RIGHT..Just be patient.. and this will pass.. WE must stand together!!

You are looking at the facts in a way that will fit the point you want to make, not all the facts. There IS NO vaccine yet for this virus. It is far more infectious than the flu, and the death rate of those infected (4.6% in the US) eclipses the fraction of a percent death rate of the flu. Yes, that’s because we have a vaccine for the flu each year, so what? The experts have said if this thing runs wild millions would die, not 100,000. This comparison to the flu is getting really old and has been proved false over and over.

Gates has GIVEN millions to the study and research of contagious diseases - including COVID-19. Not loaned, and not "invested." GIVEN. He has a foundation set up that does this.

Edited to add: Paul Craig Roberts is a Holocaust denier.

Amen Brother, this is a good example of the media hype that can create fear and panic. This is a mutation of the "SARS" flu which occurred a few years ago. One might become a conspiracy buff if this type of planning keeps up. I wonder why dying from corona virus is different then dying from the common flu or even the H1 N1 which was thought to be viralent a few years ago. Dead is dead, but the reaction to this pandemic seems to be over the top.
