Norway's Health Minister Announces That Lockdowns Were Not Needed to Tamp Down on Coronavirus
Norway is assembling a picture of what happened before lockdown and its latest discovery is pretty significant. It is using observed data -- hospital figures, infection numbers and so on -- to construct a picture of what was happening in March. At the time, no one really knew. It was feared that virus was rampant with each person infecting two or three others--– and only lockdown could get this exponential growth rate (the so-called R number) down to a safe level of 1. This was the hypothesis advanced in various graphs by Imperial College London for Britain, Norway and several European countries. But the Norwegian public health authority has published a report with a striking conclusion: the virus was never spreading as fast as had been feared and was already on the way out when lockdown was ordered. 'It looks as if the effective reproduction rate had already dropped to around 1.1 when the most comprehensive measures were implemented on 12 March, and that there would not be much to push it down below 1… We have seen in retrospect that the infection was on its way down.' ... This raises an awkward question: was lockdown necessary? What did it achieve that could not have been achieved by voluntary social distancing? Camilla Stoltenberg, director of Norway's public health agency, has given an interview where she is candid about the implications of this discovery. 'Our assessment now, and I find that there is a broad consensus in relation to the reopening, was that one could probably achieve the same effect -- and avoid part of the unfortunate repercussions -- by not closing. But, instead, staying open with precautions to stop the spread.'
More bad news for Team Apocalypse -- 43% of covid deaths came from just 0.62% of the US population, the nursing homes. Which means we didn't need to lock the country down; we just needed to keep the infected out of nursing homes.
2.1 million Americans, representing 0.62% of the U.S. population, reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. (Nursing homes are residences for seniors needing help with activities of daily living, such as taking a shower or getting dressed, who also require 24/7 medical supervision; assisted living facilities are designed for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, but don’t require full-time on-site medical supervision.) According to an analysis that Gregg Girvan and I conducted for the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, as of May 22, in the 39 states that currently report such figures, an astounding 43% of all COVID-19 deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.Andrew Cuomo is essentially responsible for almost the entire covid pandemic in the United States. The latest CDC report admits as much:
Here's what CDC report admitted w/out saying it:
— Jordan Schachtel (@JordanSchachtel) May 28, 2020
-Lockdowns did nothing. 10s of MMs infected anyway.
-US COVID epidemic was bad flu season, exacerbated by nursing home fiasco.
-Not nearly as lethal or harmful as advertised.
-Models wrong
-No interventions did anything productive.
"It worked, didn't it?" said one of their heroes, Harry Reid, about peddling the fiction that Mitt Romeny had not paid federal income taxes in ten years. Meaning: Yes I lied. But the lie I told succeeded in the effect I intended -- Mitt Romney lost the election. When their visions of apocalypse and premonitions of doom fail to manifest, but the US is stagnating in high unemployment, they will also say with a wink, "It worked, didn't it?"

Some of us have been saying this would be the outcome for awhile now.
But we were told we would be KILLING PEOPLE if we didn't shut up, stay home, and do WHAT WE WERE TOLD

Note, another study here in the US shows that due to increases in suicides, Cancer, and despair,
The lockdown is costing us COSERVATIVLY an EXTRA 100 K deaths PER MONTH.
So, we have killed twice as many with the lockdown as the Vid have killed in the US.
Its almost like that silly old Constitution was correct all along.

The Ruling Junta of the United States wants to remain closed down for as long as possible because they're trying to delay the public realizing they were wrong all along -- which they will realize, when infection rates do not skyrocket as "The Experts" keep telling us that God told them they would.
Oh, and also, they really want to take away Trump's top election selling point.

============
Yeah, if the disease "escaped" China in November, it was spreading for four months before lockdowns started.
I wasn't entirely against them in the very beginning, assuming they would last two weeks, but the idea that they're continuing is ridiculous.
I hope the American people punish those doing it through the ballot box.

Yes, it is about CYA of our "elites" as well as the blue states extorting a bailout.

As I write this, we are waiting breathlessly for Herr Whitmer to appear for her daily whine at 3pm to tell us how many unnecessary deaths of 97 year old nursing home patients have occurred due to our lack of diligence of social distancing. Certainly someone got too close to someone at a lake last weekend and started a speeding train of mega infections resulting in the final blow to this 97 year old and as a result, we must continue to be locked down, restaurants cannot open, nor barbers or hair salons.
I'm waiting for her to send a platoon of state police to arrest the 77 year old barber and take him to jail. Unless they throw him on the ground first and choke him out.

And those who disparage the twatters without knowing what's there are probably hearing most of this for the first time.
It is common sense and actual expert doctrine that radical mitigation measures are ineffective after prevalence exceeds 1% - seems like a low threshold, but with a modern society and highly infectious bug, makes sense. The general quarantine we've seen, with variations, here and elsewhere is actually something not considered effective, or cost-effective, by most settle epidemic-control guidance.
So as with so many topics, it's important to distinguish between two phases of this situation - one where there was limited information, but substantial suggestion that a mega-killer bug was on the lose, and the second phase, when it became clear that this wasn't the case.
A separate question however is why ineffective or ruinously costly measures - by existing public health standards - were implemented, but especially *why they were extended and continue even today, long past the time the earlier panic was resolved*.

The problem (for them) is that Trump is going to preside over the greatest economic recovery in American history. And while the Cuomos managed to kill tens of thousands of elderly Americans to juice the China flu numbers, the problem is that there's a huge argument for gross, gross, GROSS negligence. If the federal government can't act against mass murderers with a five digit death count, whag is the earthly point of having one? Trump has the reason, motive, and power to send the military to New York to terminate Cuomo's regime.
And I certainly hope he does.

On April 3, I looked into my crystal ball and said to myself:
-- They're going to lock down the country. Possibly the world.
-- There will be a big panic.
-- But it won't last forever -- epidemics always fade away sooner or later.
-- This one will fade away sooner.
-- The panic will end eventually. I predict: by mid-June, the whole upcoming hysteria will be over.
-- However, now, in early April everyone is just starting to panic. And the best thing to do when a big herd starts stampeding one way is to go the exact opposite way.
-- So now, on April 3, I'm going to book an overseas trip at insanely rock-bottom prices, because all the airlines and Airbnb places have just dropped their prices by 80+% in desperation to attract customers.
-- I got an Airbnb that normally goes for $500/night for the incredible price of $70/night.
-- I got a flight that normally goes for $1200 for $380.
-- Two months later, my prediction proved almost perfectly accurate, and now that everyone's thinking about traveling again, I already have the whole trip set up, for a mere pennies on the dollar!
Smooth.

The T-cell cross immunity findings tell us that rather than 100% susceptibility in the general population, in reality a much smaller portion of the population was susceptible. All of the "we bent the curve downward" claims are merely magical thinking. Unfortunately, that mindset persists on the back end of a dwindling epidemic.

The 43% figure is unequivocally low, but no one knows how much. First, some places list the residence as the hospital for a death, so that person may have been in a nursing home also. Second, prior to May 1, 11 states (including Lovely Gretchen's Michigan) didn't count nursing home deaths, and some of them still haven't done anything to correct the pre-May numbers.
So yes, the slaughter of the elderly is even worse than the Cuomos and WitchLady's of the world are telling us.

There's a curve that describes the path of just about every epidemic ever documented (to my surprise and continuing bafflement, even enteric-diseases - water-borne). Asymmetric bell-shaped curve, long right shoulder.
Yep - that's the path described by this epidemic, perfectly, for both cases (such as they are know, a whole other problem) and deaths.
THAT has been clear for a while.
The fatality being similar to flu, except far *lower* for the bulk of the population, has been clear for a while.
These are the facts that make WH policy, from April 30, with the "phases" (which also make no sense, given the situation), impossible to understand.
Why call DeSantis and jawbone him to limit "re-opening" measures - for a bug that is *not* a big killer among the general population, and which is way, way, way past containment, and which has zero potential to overwhelm medical capacity? Maybe some day even a tiny bit of detail will emerge, and we'll see how Trump did not seek a Team B perspective or at least have somebody on his team arguing common sense, even by May.

94 The Dem problem is that Covid "peaked too soon" in the minds of the public. The backlash is now well under way. If this had happened in September we'd have mail in ballots for everyone. This, like everything else will break in unpredictable ways for Trump.

I actually said this about 2 and a half months ago.
The pandemic was too early to have the effect to the election. It was going to peter out long before then.
Democrats have done everything they can to elongate it, but the American people are moving beyond pandemic fever on their own. In fact, Democratic attempts to keep pandemic fever going are going to end up backfiring on them in the end.

It's all political, but I think the governors throwing obstacles in the path of- and otherwise slow-rolling the re-openings are trying to time it all to when Covid finally peters out on it's own so THEY can claim credit and say their policies for ending the threat.

So, for all of you feral, idiot Marxist-loving crap eating dogs out there- you tried to kill me with this, and openly hoped that COVID19!!!! would do just that, along with the rest of us out here in the actual world, not your fantasy-filled la la land of stupid ideas, repressive full-frontal control of speech, thought and action. Your a stupid bunch of twats bought and paid for by the Democrat party, the most vile, corrupt and disgustingly dishonest collection of human trash assembled since the Bolsheviks. Well, you didn't kill me. And not one minute of one day wearing that mask of shame and subjugation on my patt. But you did kill, on purpose and by design, a whole lot of perfectly innocent and completely helpless Americans in nursing homes. You are brutal, shameless, and thoroughly evil.

My boss where I work goes to a large church in Texas.
He said they will have services by reservation only.
Posted by: Glenn John at May 28, 2020 02:47 PM (LilNs)
My guess is that they are having multiple services, with attendance not to exceed a certain number for each service, which requires sign-up. I know a church that is having 6 services a day under similar circumstances. They aren't trying to keep people out. They are trying to get as many in as possible.

the Weird thing is that it seems when the left NEEDED the virus to spread, they mocked Trump as racist and dumb for stopping some flights ... it was business as usual mostly, as it spread. Illinois and I think many places, went on serious lock down AFTER we were at peak... at that point they were screaming that we had to shut down for months ... till there is a CURE.
I read about the "natural immunity" thing probably a month ago, whcih is now confirmed more or less ... that some had partial immunity from earlier corona viruses ... or from general healthy lifestyle out playing in the dirt. Healthy people recover without treatment, if they ever even get infected from their exposure.
It seems more and more like an Op by the enemy. But two things accomplished imo ....
1. A coming market correction threat was gotten rid of, and can be blamed squarely on China and their virus. (even if markets go lower again from here)
2. China is now clearly seen as a dishonest and evil threat to the free world. Even Wall Street may see their fate as precarious if they continue to cross the Nile (to wealth) on the back of the China crocodile. The media and political players on the take from China may be exposed as well.
The trillions thrown at the problem ... that's gonna leave a mark. MMT or jubilee ... We'll cross that Rubicon after the election maybe ...

Here's what CDC report admitted w/out saying it:
-Lockdowns did nothing. 10s of MMs infected anyway.
-US COVID epidemic was bad flu season, exacerbated by nursing home fiasco.
-Not nearly as lethal or harmful as advertised.
-Models wrong
-No interventions did anything productive.
He's right, you know.
Not locking down probably would have given us roughly the same number of infections and casualties (probably fewer, since they might not have shoved infected elderly people into nursing homes). I mean the real count, not the BS official count.
But without the economic destruction.

Looking at the rate of people testing positive for KungFlu in Massachusetts two things are pretty obvious...
1) The number of infected people increased proportionally to the number of people tested, and
2) The overwhelming majority of the positive tests came greater than 4-weeks after the lockdown went into effect - proving that the lockdown did precisely nothing
They knew this all by early-to-mid April but have kept us locked in our homes for weeks because they can.
In a less stupid time there would be lethal consequences for this sort of bullshit.

Attended Mass for the first time in weeks. We were told to pick any day to attend and it would count towards our Sunday obligation. We picked today. About 50 people in attendance with half the pews roped off and we were told to social distance in our pews. Father and a seminarian brought the host to us in our pews. Hubby and I were the only maskless folk in attendance. Got a bit of the stink eye from others.
Also, have an appointment to take a WuFlu antibody test next week. I still think I had the plague late Feb. into early March. $65 for the test. I'm hoping that having had it will keep me maskless when I have surgery in a few weeks.

It's not that mitigation is pointless, it is that there are certain conditions that leads to the spread, and that data was ignored because everyone was on a power trip and obsessed with Ro (a term they misused from the start.)
Japan learned very very early on that most of their spread was coming from nightclubs. So they shut down nightclubs. (also schools for other reasons, and in Japan people are very reserved and wear masks so mass transit was not a big problem for them.)
There was data from early contact tracing, and you could see that 30 people would get infected at a nightclub (crowded, dancing, singing ...) and then they would go and infect a few family and coworkers but after that it would mostly die until one of them went to another crowded environment.
In Korea, it was the crowded church. It was never parks or hair salons. In US it was meat packing facilities (maybe the cold? not sure why.)
This data was there but instead of looking at that, they looked at models. I ignored models from the start since I have modeling experience (from industry not biology) and models are a tool for telling you how to make a model based on data you collect after you run experiments. They do not predict anything. They confirm that assumptions used to make the model.

Muldoon with the great limerick and the medical common sense.
It was evident a while ago that - consistent with existing "science" and common sense on epidemics - mitigation is impractical past very early stages, or in very special circumstances. And the curves were all flattening and bending down in every case known, prior to lockdowns (needs to be noted that there was already voluntary reduction in social interaction, using telecom mobility stats as a proxy).

My guess is that they are having multiple services, with attendance not to exceed a certain number for each service, which requires sign-up. I know a church that is having 6 services a day under similar circumstances. They aren't trying to keep people out. They are trying to get as many in as possible.
Posted by: grammie winger at May 28, 2020 02:51 PM (lwiT4)
My parish has added two additional Masses (for a total of 5) on Sunday and the numbers are limited to 90 for the 7:30 for at-risk parishoners and 120 for the others. There's an online registration for the Mass you want to attend. Between Masses, the K of C and Altar Guild do a quick cleaning of the sanctuary.
Those are measures that could have been done any time during this. Any time. Our pastor is constrained by what the Archbishop said and His Eminence shut down public Masses during April.
What he should have done was told the civil authorities to take a jump. Yes, Sunday obligation should have been suspended during this, but there should be public Masses in every parish for any of the faithful who wanted to attend. I've heard real cries of pain from those deprived of the Sacraments during this stupid episode.

The thing about the European countries that is significant is that their populations are still somewhat united in being what they are - Norway is Norwegian, etc.
In the US, the waves of unassimilated immigration since 1965 has diluted the ability to have a self preservation consciousness or awareness in the population. We are deliberately isolated into little "enclaves" of wokeness or basedness based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion or religious substitute, etc.
And our elected officials cater to the loudest voices and/or the highest bidders who are almost all leftists or worse.
An All-American president like Donald Trump would have been unremarkable in 1950. Or even 1960. But today being All-American is somehow bad? A house divided against itself cannot stand - things said by some dead white guy.

This was a scam at every level of analysis.
There is no way of stopping the spread of a virus in a general population of 7.5 billion highly mobile, highly integrated and connected people.
Things were locked down, except that which wasn't.
Masks don't and can't do shit, disinfecting surfaces ain't doing shit either.
Virus spread, that's what they do, that's all they fucking do, it's what they are programmed to do.
This whole thing was devoid of any logic, reason or actual science.
I'm disappointed in Trump but understand his "men and women of science," put him in a bad spot.

Fortunately, I still have a job, working from home so I don't have to deal with these idiots face-to-face. My employer has said re-entry will not occur until after Labor Day.

> Is it really that the entire Earth was plummeted into attempted economic ruin based on one guy's model that no one even checked the math on before everything was done?
The entire earth was plunged into economic ruin as an attempt to install global totalitarianism, complete with omnipresent surveillance and propaganda, and population control. The model was just a way to justify it. No different from global warming.
I noticed the other day that "technocracy" and "coccitherian" are near-anagrams. I wonder what it means.

And that is why Nipsy would be a poor replacement for Joe Biden - because the Trump Campaign would never let anyone forget that. Ever.
The Wuhan Flu Lockdown has been another circling torpedo, doing damage to the Democrats and their potential future presidential and vice-presidential candidates in governors' offices - the true farm team for the parties.

Which is, I suspect utter bullcrap trying to justify the rioting and looting, but time will tell. That's what she's complaining about.
The shutdown is costing us 100,000 US Citizens a month in additional deaths.
Yeah I don't know what the numbers are but my guess is the deaths from that and other factors (stress, etc) are higher than even the bullcrap official count. We probably will never know.

A guy in my college fraternity fresh off the boat from Oslo, used to get smashed at the local bars and then stumble home alone relieving himself in drinking fountains around campus. Thats right - where faces and hands often inhabit. Was arrested by campus cops but no charges because "foreign student." He went on to an MIT grad engineering program then back to Norway. Over the years his Facebook page is riddled with hysterical anti-Trump, anti-Rush blather. In my mind he is the consummate America-hating foreigner who we allowed in, and he pisses all over it. I'll pass on the Norway tour, thanks.

Quick! Do Something!" It was a natural response
mid-March. By the first or second week of April, most assuredly by
Easter, it became apparent to me that this was no longer about health,
but about power and control and deliberately tanking this country.
Posted by: grammie winger at May 28, 2020 03:07 PM (lwiT4)
And as always "Something" was just that, something, anything.
We might as well have told people Covid was afraid of the color red and that sticking Popsicle sticks in your lawn exposing exactly a 1/4 inch of wood prevented Covid germs from entering your household.
And the assholes would STILL claim that those things were the magic that prevented 2 million deaths.

Supposedly the police chief is saying that many of the rioters... were not locals. Another Soros Bus special.
I think at the start, everyone was spooked by people toppling over in China and Italy and France.
Yeah especially China, where it seemed to be the worst disease ever. But it turned out to not be... even in Italy. So what the heck happened in China???

Make no mistake, when they talk about not letting crises go to waste, they are always talking about making choices for you.
The answer to every crisis is ever and always, more power and wealth for them, less liberty for you.

W, when he left office he assured people that Obama would keep up the same policies that he kept after Bush. Bush said, "It's because he'll see the same intelligence that I'm seeing every morning". And he turned out to be quite right about a lot of it.

It was a natural response mid-March.
Even then, it was obvious that the available data was inadequate to justify the quasi-martial law that has been imposed. And when you said so, several commenters here would insist that you just had to act on whatever data you have no matter its quality. Acting on data you know is inadequate from the get-go is like trying to wear pants as a shirt because pants are the only clean clothes within reach.

Idaho was being poisoned massively by Calitards when i lived there 13 years ago. so its almost gone i would think. Maybe theres enough rural patriots to hold the fort. AZ where i am now will take awhile but Cali's are stinking up the place.

And we Upstate New Yorkers get to watch the singular most inept response to covid19 led by FredoThe Elder one could imagine.
At the rate we're going, the tourist economy we rely on up here is doomed to an anemic shadow of what is required.
I no longer bother watching the self serving press conferences where Fredo preens and congratulates himself while casting deserved blame EVERYWHERE but where it lies.
Were I to honestly vent here, it would be an instant banning, so I will stop for now.

Here's an old idea that may be ripe for this point in time...
We've got a lot of unused cruise ships registered in third world shithole countries.
We've got a lot of terminally ill seniors who live in pain and poverty, suffering indignities daily and basically abandoned in society.
What would happen if the government subsidized a program where the seniors could opt to take an all-expenses paid two week cruise. With wonderful care givers, all the drugs, booze and food they could imagine, and a bonus $50,000 to each cruise passenger.
The only thing is that nobody comes back to port.
For two weeks, seniors who had little or nothing their entire lives are treated like kings and queens, are pain-free and also have plenty of money to leave to whoever they like.
Society saves money overall in reduced intensive or long term care.
People die with dignity in a pleasant surrounding.
Just a thought...

A Connecticut policy that allows transgender athletes to compete as girls in high school sports violates the civil rights of athletes who have always identified as female, according to a letter from the U.S. Education Departments civil rights office that was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
The office said in the 45-page letter that it may seek to withhold federal funding over the policy, which allows athletes to participate under the gender with which they identify. The policy is a violation of Title IX, the federal civil rights law that guarantees equal education opportunities for women, including in athletics, the office said.
Common Sense

None of the women on Fox News are as cute as they look on camera, Fox has some of the best makeup artists in the world airspraying (literally) perfection on to the women.
Remember how Hillary went from haggard old woman to "wow she's pretty, if kind of crazy" to haggard old woman in the Democrat convention? They even managed to get Bill to look less like a lich. Makeup and lighting -- at range -- can do wonders.

Mentioned the other day I saw a review of Fat Michael (Moore) taking-down the "Greenies" in his latest propaganda. Basically he calls out the whole "climate change" machine as a massive scam.
Left me to wonder that if a commie like Moore is doing this now The Globalist Powers That Be must already have something far, far worse up their greasy, blood-soaked sleeves.
Posted by: DocJ at May 28, 2020 03:01 PM (DU2N9)
Uh, no, not quite. Moore is still a Gerbil Worming True Believer. He has just come to the realization that all the "Green Energy" programs touted to "fight" Gerbil Worming are doing no good at and are outright scams, in many cases.
Which has caused a break with other True Believers, of course.

41 Million job losses later, I think that prediction stands up.
Posted by: Tom Servo at May 28, 2020 03:11 PM (Kpl3J)
+++++++++++
It's important to put that perspective. It's even worse than it looks. Assuming 40 million out of work (I have seen everything from 20 to 40), it is a nightmare scenario.
The 2019 average labor force size was 163.5 million. Average participation was 63.1%. So the active/participating labor force was 103.2 million.
So that means this response - this unnecessary, misguided, and increasingly evil response - knocked out from 19.4% to 38.8% of the entire labor force.
Those middle-class wage gains we finally started to see? Yeah, you can kiss them goodbye. With that much labor force on the hunt for work (some large proportion will not be called back from furloughs or layoffs), wage compression is going to back in vogue. Once unemployment hits 5% again, we can see wages rise again but that party is probably over for several years.

All decision making power was essentially handed over to a small group of unelected medical professionals. This always should have been a decision reached by epidemiologists but also leaders of industry, military leaders, etc. There were costs and benefits that needed to be weighed. But we all got buffaloed - yes, even Trump - into acting like only the health care side mattered. And not even really health care, since hospitals have furloughed or laid off employees and people were unable to get their regular care. Trump got played - but I don't think he had a choice. If the models were right, and a million were dead, what would his election prospects look like?
As is, there are 5 months for the economy to recover, though obviously Dems will fight tooth and nail to keep it down.

Well that's always been true. What has changed is that they used to not
do so unless there was a real, serious, horrific emergency
Revolutionary War. War of 1812. Civil War. WW1. Spanish Flu. WW2. Polio Epidemic. Church status = open. This is the only time in American History that I know of, when they have closed the doors of the churches. Churches have always been a sanctuary.

What *should* we learn for the future?
1. Don't shut down businesses. They can just go into "COVID mode" - all the distancing and PPE and shit. Yes, it probably doesn't matter much, but it puts people at ease, and the market very much can be manipulated by unscientific fears. Let people have their healthcare theater.
2. If anything gets shut down, it should be transportation from major travel hubs. If NYC had shut down flights and closed the subways months ago, how many deaths would have been prevented? This is a touchy one, though.
3. Hey, if something mostly kills the elderly, you FUCKING QUARANTINE PLACES THAT HAVE MOSTLY ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THEM. Don't make them take recovering patients for fuck's sake.

Those middle-class wage gains we finally started to see? Yeah, you can kiss them goodbye. With that much labor force on the hunt for work (some large proportion will not be called back from furloughs or layoffs), wage compression is going to back in vogue. Once unemployment hits 5% again, we can see wages rise again but that party is probably over for several years.

The extra $600 per week in Federal universal basic income I mean unemployment money ends on July 21st.
During the first week of July, there will be much wailing and caterwauling about how Trump's Depression is making people destitute and all that is keeping them alive is that money and it has to be extended through the rest of the year or people will diiiiiiiiieeeee.
It will pass.

Food for thought:
The Bay of Pigs was JFK using only expert opinions.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was JFK using a team of rivals approach where he assigned groups to straw man and steel man each other's arguments.
Good decision making avoids expert opinions because they are all the same and there is no incentive to be a contrarian. It's discouraged, which helps to guard the experts and keep them valuable.

Well, originally, the intention of lockdowns was to flatten the curve/not overwhelm hospitals. That *did* happen - but it might have happened anyway. The problem is the goalposts immediately shifted to "we need a vaccine/cure," which was NEVER the stated intention of Stay at Home orders.

I've stashed a good bit of cash and I encourage others to do the same.
It's undeniable that within a few months, a lot of people are going to stop paying their bills, due to not having a job and not receiving an extra $600 per week in unemployment. At that point, credit card companies and mortgage lenders will shut off the taps.
Only those who exercised their options prior to the credit shutoff will have enough cash to get by and prosper. Others will be left to sell off assets at greatly reduced value just to pay for necessities.

Dr. Philip Petersen, a career infectious disease specialist, was interviewed in mid-March. He said if this SARS follows the template of the first SARS it will burn out in 7-8 months from patient 0. That would be June or July.
Posted by: kallisto
Burn out can mean a couple of things. "Herd immunity", that often bandied about cliche about enough of us becoming immune or developing antiobodies/T-cells to fight the virus.
The virus continues to mutate, and the less lethal version becomes prevalent. Because...think about it. The more lethal the virus, the less likely that an infected person passes it on. Dead people and people confined to a virus ward are not likely to pass on the virus to the general population.

After all the lockdowns, there have been 100,000 deaths attributed to Kung Flu. So says the NYT.
And the dems are beating that stat like a rented mule.
Imagine if there had been a Sweden approach, and we would still have had 100,000 dead.
Politically, could President Trump survive that? I'm not so sure. The Deep State within his administration - CDC and NIH - would have destroyed him.
This shows us that every single holdover from previous administrations needs to be shown the door on Inauguration Day. Barky's administration kept plotting against DJT right up to the moment of the inauguration.

It does not change the fact that we did not know back then what we know now about the Wuhan virus.
********
Every step along the way as new information came to light it contradicted the models. But rather than adjusting the response to fit the emerging facts, governors like Polis, Innslee, Whtmer and the rest continued to cling to mathematical models as a form of received wisdom that guided their not only continuing the lockdown, but doubling down on it when the epidemic was clearly receding.
Plenty of room for recriminations.

We need to adjust how we are responding based on the new information we have now, but talking about how we should have done x, y or z back in February/March does nothing.
That is a pretty simplistic attitude. Exploring the previous lies and missteps will help to avoid the next set of lies and missteps.
But you be you.

Seniors "had little or nothing to do their entire lives "
What the hell are you smoking? Do you actually know many Seniors-any active ones?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 28, 2020 03:29 PM (+eVzC)
I'm not advocating dragging your friends off of the shuffleboard court and tossing them on the death boat.
However, I am saying it might be something pain-ridden terminally ill seniors would like instead of having a minimum wage care worker running tubes up their orifices while the illness and pain levels increase every day.

Yeah especially China, where it seemed to be the worst disease ever. But it turned out to not be... even in Italy. So what the heck happened in China???

The people toppling over were actors, doing street theater (on behalf of the CCP) to create the notion that this disease was a demon killer?
You really think that the CCP, with their uber-tight control on information, would allow cellphone videos taken by dissidents out of the country?

No, the useful part is that it points out what total dumbfucks people like you were back when it counted, and why you should just STFU from now on.

there was some speculation early on that Chinese, specifically Chinese and not various Asian, genotypes were susceptible.
Posted by: Kindltot
It was the ACE2 cell receptor sites. Genetically, these seem to be more prevalent in a lot of genetically "Asian" people. The virus seemed to like to attach to those sites above other locations on the cell wall.

My guess is that they are having multiple services, with attendance
not to exceed a certain number for each service, which requires sign-up.
I know a church that is having 6 services a day under similar
circumstances. They aren't trying to keep people out. They are trying to
get as many in as possible.
Posted by: grammie winger at May 28, 2020 02:51 PM (lwiT4)
My parish has added two additional Masses (for a total of 5) on
Sunday and the numbers are limited to 90 for the 7:30 for at-risk
parishoners and 120 for the others. There's an online registration for
the Mass you want to attend. Between Masses, the K of C and Altar Guild
do a quick cleaning of the sanctuary.

My "church" is offering a dozen 15 minute communion services for 8 people at a time. The announcement repeatedly mentions how their following Pritzker's orders.
I am not attending.

The only thing is that nobody comes back to port.
For two weeks, seniors who had little or nothing their entire lives are treated like kings and queens, are pain-free and also have plenty of money to leave to whoever they like.
Society saves money overall in reduced intensive or long term care.
People die with dignity in a pleasant surrounding.
Just a thought...

My friends don't play shuffleboard. Go sit on something and spin
I have no further wish to continue this conversation.
You do your little routine here. I think you should take it to a novel.

Well, now they want Contact Tracing, which is another means of getting your neighbor to inform on you.
That really, really bothers me.
And being compelled to be injected with a vaccine for a disease for which I might already be immune.
What's in that vaccine? Bill Gates and his foundation have a really poor record with their vaccine projects.

So anyway, amidst all this there are very positive signs people are simply returning to their former lives ( I'm referring to only my counties where it's blatantly obvious) with no fanfare at all. Simply exiting the panic mode.
What our elected officials (in most cases) are saying to do is just disregarded.

If they just said "wear masks, wash your hands and try stay 6 feet apart" along with other measures in places like NYC such as more trains and buses so they don't get packed in (maybe find a way to block seats and areas to limit the number of passengers) and not sending grandma a virus stricken roommate for mother's day, we'd probably have half the deaths, half the unemployment and be out of this already.
But they went to the extreme, they didn't ask nicely or suggest, it was immediate demonizing and that lead to people telling them to fuck off and not take precautions.
Then again all those measures wouldn't have fit the goals of all the "experts" who seem to want more deaths so their connected medical companies get huge contacts and stock bounces.
I really of the Trump DoJ looks into every "expert" to see if they had a reason to push the hysteria, because three odds of that not being the case are low.
