This is all well and great but doesn’t address anything about my post. This disease isn’t deadly enough for people to care enough to adhere to some crazy lockdown. And lay people aren’t paying attention to studies. Blame the news that focuses on cases and deaths :yeshrug:

It is.

Let it rip and ~4% of the majority of the US population would need hospital treatment. What's 4% of 320 million again?

Couple of things.

It's not full lockdown like last time so it will be interesting to see the effect it has. Schools and universities are still open. Elite sports is still allowed. People are still being encouraged to work. They have called it the 'circuit breaker' lockdown.

London and the South East are actually not doing horribly looking at the numbers even though cases are rising. It will be interesting to see if this lockdown slows the spread rate by 2nd December or if we are fukked again.

My money is on we're fukked. I expect a full crazy lockdown like earlier this year t9 be implemented just after Christmas.

Then there is still February and March, which could be even worse than this run in to winter.

The British people voted for Boris Johnson. They will need to share the pain of his blunders as well.

The right wing rags that called him the best thing since Churchill and a man of the people to help him win the election, are now describing him as a tory Etonian who is aloof and out of touch.

This is a game to these people. A game common folk keep losing.

I don't know about you guys but I don't expect bozo and the Republicans to handle this pandemic responsibly after they get washed on Tuesday.
Trump will fire Fauci in November if he loses, bet on it. Nor will he sign a stimulus during the lame duck. He’s gonna spend the entire month either waging an unsuccessful legal battle over the election, or unleashing rage on those who “betrayed” him. Actually he’ll do both.

I could also see him withdrawing government financial support for a vaccine. He’s not going to sit by and let Biden get the credit for a vaccine. Some way, some how he will fukk with it.
