Another Inquisition will fix their little red wagon.
Yep. Prolonged close person to person contact, enclosed indoor areas, talking/singing loudly, refusing to wear masks.
Bars, gyms, and yes - political rallies. All blindingly stupid, all hopelessly selfish.

It’s a sad commentary on our society that something like a freaking virus has been politicized so much. Here’s the deal - it’s a virus. It doesn’t care whether you’re republican, democrat, communist, facist, socialist - whatever. All it knows it it wants a warm body to host it. If it finds a place in your body to host it, then you become infected. Therefore, it seems logical to find ways to prevent it finding ways into more hosts until we can find some sort of treatment or vaccine for it. It should be a simple as that.

With all screaming yellowing and hyperventilating…I’m sure those infected spit out large droplets of CV to those around em.

Well if it doesn’t the experts are full of ■■■■ since the spike is due to people in the least vulnerable age groups.
Where is the evidence of casual transmission in those environments/under those conditions?
Other than being in lock down with infected people for extended periods of time or close contact treating infected patients I’m finding little evidence of transmission at all.
Well no, the quickest way to end it is to let it run it’s course among the young and healthy so we can quickly reach herd immunity.
Continuing the halfassed lock downs and social distancing is only going to prolong it.

Should be. All this also requires ignoring the fact that almost every other developed nation have beaten it to the point that they’re starting to get back to normal.

Yes - that is the part of this that truly baffles me. So many nations have already beaten this to the point where the worst is behind them - yet here in the US, it is still spiraling upwards out of control.
We use to be one of the leading nations in stuff like this. Now, not so much. It’s kind of heartbreaking in a sense.

Really? When did we have a similar pandemic to measure results by?
The number of cases is irrelevant. Hospital admissions, transfers to ICU’s and median age keeps dropping like a rock which simply proves we can go forward without all the mindless panic.
Yes you have to ignore what’s going on in the rest of the world to a disturbing degree to argue there’s nothing we can do about it. I don’t understand, like for real for real don’t understand, no politician is worth this.

Where are the ER’s, ICU’s, and hospitals in general overwhelmed and out of beds?
Where is the huge spike in deaths?
I don’t think there can be much stopping that contact between the young…teens and early twenties. Dallas is now really pushing the masks and distancing…and at 71 I am fine with following along. But every time I take a walk by the elementary school/park near my house there are increasing numbers of young people going there to meet. Since the more traditional places are closed to them, they are meeting in larger groups. The basketball court seems in constant use.
And no masks to be found.
Young people have a sense of immortality and are natural risk takers, there’s very little we can do to persuade them.
They also will not continue to tolerate stay at home orders.
The most sensible path forward is sequestering and even quarantining those most vulnerable and just plow on through so we can reach herd immunity sooner rather than later.
Once we get there the most vulnerable will be at far less risk overall.
American exceptionalism?
It’s almost like every other country isn’t chock full of regressive retards who persistently deny science and facts or something. Weird.
Thoughts and prayers. Jesus will save us or something I guess.
