What else is there to bank on? Shut the country down perpetually? The fukk is the solution otherwise? Why do people act like just shutting down shop is a practical long term solution? At some point society puts a mask on, and moves on. It is that fukking simpleBrehs really banking on herd immunity
The higher the R0 of a disease, the higher thevimmunity needs to be achieved. COVID 19 has a R0 around 5.5 from the studies from Wuhan of a couple months ago . Some other studies say it's around 2.5 so let's say its between 2.5 and 5.5
Rubella and Smallpox have a R0 of 5 to 6 and are both airborne transmitted diseases. The herd immunity for those diseases is from 80 to 85% and that is with vaccination. If we take a R0 of 2.5 then herd immunity is achieved a bit above 50% which means half the population should have antibodies at least (let's not talk about those could maybe fade). The US has had 6M known cases for 350M total population which is less than 2%...
If the world banks on this, we're gonna have a whole lot ot bodies before we achieve immunity. Because without vaccination, it's impossible unless we're planning to stand on loads and loads of cadavers.
CDC got it back todayThread been real quiet since Trump shut down the CDC numbers.
both sides though right?
Only talking reality. You and other folks are in some sort of utopia where everyone can just wait this out for potentially years sitting inside their homes, with no income, health insurance, or government subsistence and have plenty of food on the table for their wife and kids and keep the bills paid. That’s nowhere near the case. Covid is here to stay. That’s the fact. You have to learn to live with it, and get on with life. Or stick your head in the sand and act like just because you have the luxury to hide out with no worries and pretend that most of society can play along with you in your isolation paradise where millions won’t be getting evicted as we get to the cold fall and winter months, with millions more a month or 2 of missed rent on no income from joining them and all catching Covid inside school gymnasiums which are converted to a homeless shelter to house the millions of evicted. Sounds like a great plan
my uncle has it
he's fighting it and has the basic symptoms.
breathing is good but still
I’m not voting for Biden, but if Dems win, we can ride this out for a couple years, until a vaccine is widely accessible. Other countries like Canada and Germany are paying people monthly until this subsides, including businesses. You seem like some heartless a$$hole who doesn’t care about those dying. fukk off.
That’s 6 months without any income for lots of folks. Good luck riding that out. I’m set. Next time I see your broke ass whining I’ll tell you to eat a dikk and hold your own nuts til next January. Gonna be a harsh winter, and folks can’t just “ride it out” hiding at home with no income, insurance, or government assistance. Also you’re not voting for the one person that can oust the reason the country is in this mess, and I’m the heartless a$$hole?
We have to take care of the millions and millions who’s livelihoods and homes are on the brink of disaster. You can do that while also wearing masks. That’s how we proceed in a Covid America, because it ain’t going anywhere. Basing your hopes on the US government instead of science like herd immunity after seeing how they responded so far is an absolute fukking joke
Didn’t I say we can ride it out if Dems pass legislation to subsidize those struggling?That’s 6 months without any income for lots of folks. Good luck riding that out. I’m set.

They ain’t passing shyt til next February, and you’re not even voting for them anyways. Who’s riding out that long with no subsistence? There’s many who haven’t even gotten a dime from the government and it’s been 4 months. That benefit many didn’t even get has went away, and now they just have to hopefully make it to next February somehow and dodge starvation or eviction? For a disease that 99%+ of the willing and able to work will beat? That is not worth the trade off. Mask up, get back to work, and if you’re old or vulnerable stay home. That’s the only way forward
You’re spreading right wing misinformation. Young brehs die from this. Members of this forum have died from it. fukk are you talking about 99% survive it? You sound like a cac. And a stimulus is getting passed before February. Are you serious?!? They have no choice but to pass a stimulus in September. Too many people are on the verge suffering.
99% of the people in the workforce will survive this. Half (at least) of the deaths in the country stemmed from nursing homes. You’re voting trump, so I guess you see a lot of right wing viewpoints? What’s a one time stimulus check that many won’t get for months going to do overall? People will be evicted by then. Millions of them will be. fukk them i guess?You’re spreading right wing misinformation. Young brehs die from this. Members of this forum have died from it. fukk are you talking about 99% survive it?
