How about the former Commissioner of CBP, ? Is he knowledgeable enough on the subject for you?
KERLIKOWSKE: So the drugs that are actually taking the lives of people here in the United States - methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl - almost universally come through the ports of entry along the southern border
No they say the vast majority of traffic shifts to whatever weak points there are.
In order to put more resources on our legal ports of Entry you first have to secure the Border.
That’s not what the former Commissioner of Custom and Border Patrol was quoted as saying. He said 90% of opioids come through ports of entries
And I are constantly shifting how they get the drugs into the country to the weakest points. If you secure the Border you can strengthen the parts and you can choke off the entire Supply.
Then why arent they already shifting the opioids routes to areas in between ports of entries? If those spots are so weak why arent the drugs already flowing through the gaps in border wall?
Wild rose colored glasses is more like it.
In point of fact, when this is over we can look at the mortality rates 4 the compromised age groups.
Then we’ll know what if any significant increase in the mortality rate was for the year
oh i know what he is saying. and i understand how the rate increases, but that still doesnt address why such drastic measures are ever taken for the flu. no one seems to be able to answer that. not saying it’s a conspiracy, but ot begs the question why democrats dont want to tank the economy over it like they do for something that causes cold-like symptoms
the whole premise of this shutdown is to slow the spread not to ultimately avoid the disease. integrating the area under that “flattened” curve will still give similar numbers. but who am i to discuss calculus with analytical geometry among the forum lefty geniuses
Just sit out for this one, buddy.
We’ll have 5,000 deaths by Wednesday or Thursday. If we cut our current rate in HALF immediately, we’ll have over 15k deaths by Easter. Our death rate has been increasing.
When was the last time flu caused major hospitals to treat no other patients other than flu patients? That’s called putting things in perspective.
If only Chuck Norris would shed a tear, there would already be a cure for this disease.
“ With an intense flu season in full swing, hundreds of thousands of coughing and feverish patients have already overwhelmed emergency rooms around the United States”
tell us more about exponents
You didn’t answer my question. Some major hospitals are treating NO ONE but covid patients. No other surgeries or procedures. This isn’t just a matter of EDs getting overwhelmed.
The goal is to prevent the collapse of hospital care.
This metric is lacking in the coverage.
We are not tracking how we are meeting the goal.
Total cases is not so meaningful.
Total mortality is sensational and incomplete.
As foolish as some of the locals are acting they may as well go back to work.
We have some really nice walking trails here and i would say hundreds are walking them daily bumping elbows by walking so close. Some even pushing their babies along in strollers among all those people.
We go out for a ride in the car occasionally to keep from going stir crazy and there are all those people apparently without a care in the world. 
Mostly folks in their 20’s 30’s, and loads of school children.
and they were also treating nothing but flu patients. hence “overwhelmed” as the article i posted (but conspicuously not present in your reply) says
Give us a list of hospitals in the US that it had to shut down and treat only covid-19 patients.
When Chuck Norris was exposed to the virus, the virus had to quarantine for 14 days.
very true
but “news” has a daily tracker, evidently.
insulting to even a mere thinking man’s intelligence
Uh, no. That was just the ED. Other surgeries and procedures were still taking place. I don’t think you understand d the significance of that.
