SMH........
What don't you get???
A vaaccine isn't a cure.
Eradication won't happen with this virus won't happen.
1% of all cases/ infections worldwide are classified as critical/serious. At some point even with a vaccine we have to get back to living.......this isn't going away and not everyone is going to die from it.
I get it. I know a vaccine isn’t a cure. There are people out there that are fine letting it just run its course and just let it be what it is. I don’t agree with that stance when there’s a number of things we can be doing in an attempt to save lives.

Most experts agree that there are likely millions of undiagnosed asymptomatic cases among us, which brings the death rate much lower
I’m just basing this off of death counts

The difference here is that covid is looking to be much more deadly than influenza currently is. Even with the measures we’ve taken it’s still probably 6x deadlier. Open everything back up and get rid of masks.....who knows

But that's the point I've been making. If the antibody response is low with actually organic infection of the wild virus, it's unlikely the response is going to be better than that with a vaccine.
So what do you suggest is done? Nothing? Just let this thing run its course over and over and over again?

Why in your mind is a vaccine(untested with the vigor as usual vaccines for safety and efficacy) superior to people acquiring covid naturally. Especially when the vaccine won’t have a high opt in rate.
Maybe you’ve seen something i haven’t But i haven’t seen any data that shows that once you catch covid that you are immune. I’ve read the antibody levels vary from person to person and are believed to diminish in short time. I know there’s hope that NK cells or T cells may be produced that could ramp up the immune response to better fight off disease of those who become re-infected, but aren’t we just crossing our fingers with this?
I don’t think we can bank on herd immunity.-

I didn’t see the quote, did he say they are almost immune or did he say they are immune?
Google search headlines overwhelmingly say he stated they are immune as did the poster above.
I can't verify those crooks at facebook censored him again.

Words have meanings, Trump needs to choose his more carefully. This is a false statement obviously, maybe he meant to say something about the risk of death being nearly zero, but as it stands his statement was false.
Anyone else see a pattern here?
yet cnn is the root of all fake news.

It’s pretty scary that social media is now the arbiter of truth who relies on fake news to justify censoring conservative viewpoint. Freedom of speech only applies to the crazy left! Hopefully people will stand up before it is too late!
I'm just relieved that children are deemed immune to Covid!

“Children are almost immune to COVID-19” says trump.
and who keeps spouting fake news?

Here we go with the don’t like it move to Canada recommendation.
Any of you Minnesota residents upset with your state’s decisions could always just go to South Dakota, the land of no masks....

What's the end game in your opinion? Serious question.
So far a confirmed 1.5% of the US population has been infected and we’ve lost 159,000 lives. At this rate we could lose another 10 million if everyone ends up catching it. And this doesn’t even consider long term effects for survivors that we have very little knowledge of. I can tell you my end game would not be to let this thing run its course.
So serious question back at you, what’s your end game?

Or, don't you mean you'll reserve judgement until you have a chance to see what the right wing interpretation is of those statistics?
Because the statistics are clear. If you choose to look at them.
They are just as clear as how flu deaths have been counted.

Influenza also has serious long term complications at times, this is nothing new like the media would have you believe.
So tell us all again, what's changed? Viruses are deadly and awful with long term complications, they always have been. Why did we respond so differently to this one?
Because it has killed almost 160,000 Americans in about 4 months?

This. Wasn't it science? We should trust the scientists, right? If the same amount of people are going to get the virus no matter what, we should open everything up until hospitals are nearly full and get this thing over with.
Brilliant idea. The faster everyone catches this thing the quicker and less painful all the deaths will be. It’s not like you can get it twice right?
Also to note, I’ve read that 10-20% of those infected end up with an enlarged heart. Further studies need to be done on this condition and we need to hurry up and get a large sampling of previously infected so we can understand further.

So if they should scrap it because it isn't effective in a medical setting....should the general masses be able to scrap it in public indoor settings for the same reason?
Why not? All sensible reasoning right?

If something doesn't work can it still be considered ppe?
Of course not!

Maybe all those healthcare workers should start wearing masks.
Maybe they should just scrap the ppe if it doesn’t work.

Insurance isn't much of a benefit if you can't afford to use it.
Agreed.
So the solution is to instantly make 20 million more Americans have no health insurance??

So?????? Why are you forcing people to buy a product they may not want? Plus why should I have to pay for somebody elses premiums?
Heath insurance does not equate to healthcare.
You don’t want health insurance? So maybe you can just pay the hospital out of pocket when you go since they can’t legally deny you service? How about the next guy that decides not to pay the hospital? Is the hospital just supposed to eat that as a loss?
I understand health insurance is not healthcare. It’s how we pay for healthcare.

I''m a partner in a small business. We pay for the insurance of our 15 or so employees and their families. The middle/upper-middle class folks that earn between 60K-300k got hosed. Below that you get subsidized. Above that and the monthly cost is palatable relative to the income level. Sucks to be the guy earning 80k-120k who has to pay $1200/month for crappy insurance. Even more so for the boss that is paying that for all his employees.
Healthcare is expensive and that's wonderful that you pay the cost of insurance for your employees and their families. So if Trump is successful in eliminating the ACA, where will they get their health insurance from?

Have you ever thought it is because it is unaffordable for the middle class? Maybe people are making a choice not to pay for it because it’s expensive for both the businesses and the employees. If I was in my 20’s-40’s with no kids Id consider not paying for it either Does your article break it down by age group?
It’s not because of what Trump has done no matter how much you wish it true. It was set in motion before he got there. I’ve said it before, prices for the meds my family needs have actually finally come down since ACA was put in place. People paying these notice it. Talk to any diabetic person or family.
Trump had the ACA's health insurance mandate axed. You don't think this caused the uninsured count to rise?

As opposed to the millions that lost their insurance when the ACA was enacted????? Plus the millions whose insurance premiums doubled or tripled and could no longer afford the great insurance they had before.
Who lost their health insurance when the ACA was enacted? And of those why were they not able to get a plan through the ACA? And how can you blame the ACA specifically for doubling or tripling rates? Remember rates were on the rise before the ACA was enacted.

Fine, most of us wouldn’t find ourselves in this situation. But once the coffee is thrown in his face all bets are off if you ask me. I believe she was arrested as she should have been.
Why didn’t the man punch her? Instead he assaulted the man that was with her? Idiots on both sides of this story if you ask me.
still waiting for the posts (other than shooting someone in the leg, using a water cannon, or Andrew ngo’s beat up antifa video) praising violence on siouxsports.

How are both sides wrong in the coffee issue?
From the sounds of the article one guy wasn’t wearing a mask, the chick said something to him, and he responded with something else, which escalated to coffee being thrown. I wasn’t there and didn’t witness so can’t say for sure how things went down. I also wouldn’t be in that situation myself as I wouldn’t say something to the non mask wearer, and I also wouldn’t be the non mask wearer. If for some reason my mask was down to take a drink of coffee and this lady walked by talking some garbage I think most of us would have just ignored her.

And the same can be said of the flu death counts.
