The list of unknowns with this virus is as long as my arm including the concern you listed with long term complications. What makes you so certain that the testing that was thrown together haphazardly doesn't have a false positive or false negative rate that makes it somewhat unreliable. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a test wasn't as reliable as was initially thought and the test needed to be developed and refined. We have a 60 year history with influenza and understand it so well, comparing how easily we identify flu deaths to coronavirus is foolish.

Has it actually though? Until they distinguish between people that die with covid and people who die because of covid, I'll reserve judgement on the actual statistics.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/symptoms.htm 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?

It seems to me that the more we learn about this virus, the more the original comments from epidemiologists and state leaders were spot on. "We can't control the virus, it's going to run it's course" Social distancing, masking, anything else that's been proposed has simply kicked the can down the road as it pertains to herd immunity. Protect and isolate the vulnerable, the rest of us need to get back to life and increase the immunity among our population.

I can agree that I feel like I’m on a different planet than you.

You said all of the precautions have slowed the growth, cases literally have gone higher and at a faster rate since masking has gone into place. Your answer isn’t an answer.

Not one word in your repeating, rambling soliloquy did anything to answer the question I posed. I didn’t give my opinion, I simply asked a question that you have yet to answer.

Is that an answer to the question I posed or why did you quote me when you decided to rant like a 10 year old?

If masks and social distancing work and mask use is at an all time high in most states, why are cases spiking everywhere?

Don’t worry, hayduke will be here soon to tell you, “it’s not the same thing”

Or the entire CNN/Sandmann debacle for which they have now settled. Completely made up and they knew it

You should know from watching CNN bungle the coverage of Trump following Charlottesville that, even though he actually did, not denouncing violence is the same as defending it. Speaking of your love for Anti-fascists, throwing coffee in someone’s face because they disagree with your stance on masking is the definition of fascism.

This “who me, couldn’t be” defense might work when your explaining to your mom that you didn’t steal the last cookie from the cookie jar, but not with me.

You defended the gal throwing coffee in the guys face by downplaying it. Get a grip.

Classic hayduke move. i provide an example and you run and hide like you always do. Media is manipulated on all sides. Step out of your leftist echo chamber and join the rest of us who clearly see this.

Hay duke has been laughing at the violence and lauding Antifa for weeks. If you can’t see that then nothing I post will change your mind. Begin with the post of his I quoted 20 minutes ago and go from there.

How about the photo of the overwhelmed ER that was being used as a New York hospital on CNN that turned out to be a hospital in Italy. Don’t even start down this road, all news stations would do anything they need to(including doctor video or selectively edit video) to push their own narrative.

Awful to doctor footage and push an untrue narrative. It’s disgusting. Don’t fool yourself into thinking foxnews is the only one doing this.

Right on time and on message to show up and defend the person who instigated physical violence.

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.

How are both sides wrong in the coffee issue?

Hay duke has been praising and laughing at Antifa violence for weeks.

If that’s true then his reputation should be in question.

What’s the parallel here? Does a person’s death, that in no way relates to the the coffee interaction, justify an a-hole throwing coffee in someone’s face?
