Polly want a cracker?

Sasha Benkley is not a scientist.

Show anything I said there to be false if you can.

I’ve been calling this right since January when most of you were blowing it off as nothing if you even noticed it at all.

WildRose · 2020-04-24T02:22:27.783Z

You have no idea what is 'common discussion among the pandemic experts… " Period.

WildRose · 2020-04-24T02:25:17.638Z

That isn’t even possible in this country. You’re living in a fantasy world.

How do you avoid a total economic collapse that would result from locking the entire country down for six months or longer?

Where is the food, fuel, fiber, everything that has to be transported across the country to supply even basic needs going to come from? Who’s going to move it, process it, transport and deliver it?

I assume today topic is why ingesting bleach is bad… hopefully the president is taking notes

CanadianJudo · 2020-04-24T02:26:12.147Z

Where has the food been coming from for the past month? You think farmers and truck drivers stopped working

WildRose · 2020-04-24T02:33:49.608Z

50-80% are asymptomatic so no that can’t possibly be true since at least half and probably the vast majority of the infected won’t be showing symptoms so it will likely spread like wildfire for weeks before you even find any new cases.

If you’re going to use religion for a club here you better start citing some scriptures that back your argument up.

WildRose · 2020-04-24T02:52:52.932Z

You do realize that anyone can be infected five minutes after they are tested don’t you?

We can’t test 200,000,000 people daily, weekly, or monthly to ensure they remain disease free. No country on earth has that kind of capacity.

WildRose · 2020-04-24T02:56:07.706Z

You’re kinda making my point.

When however they go bankrupt and are forced to shutdown things will collapse quickly.

At any given time we have about a 30-90 day supply of food in storage, after that things come apart awfully quickly.

All of those “essential workers” are at risk every day of becoming infected themselves, sick themselves, and risk spreading it to everyone they come in contact with so his theory holds no water.

There is no possible way to keep everyone in the country under quarantine awaiting testing and test results. To do so would ensure a complete economic collapse.

WildRose · 2020-04-24T05:25:19.177Z

We can handle that with just good hygiene, social distancing and surface cleaning and disinfecting.

I predict an explosion in UV disinfecting systems marketed to businesses and maybe even homes.

We also have a very good handle on the most vulnerable populations and we can isolate and protect them easily.

WuWei:

So you what do you do with the asymptomatic positives?

burn them!

Ben_Natuf · 2020-04-24T06:01:50.602Z

ticti: waste of time and money.

WildRose · 2020-04-24T06:05:04.820Z

I wonder if these people have even for a moment thought about who is going to raking in the billions for providing these tests and processing them?

Ben_Natuf · 2020-04-24T06:07:04.358Z

is labcorp publicly traded? might be a buying opportunity!

WildRose · 2020-04-24T06:08:28.860Z

The rich mega corps they hate or claim to are going to be the beneficiaries here.

noah:

Until we get a handle on the R0 (’‘R Naught’’), the number of people an infected person can in turn infect, it’s going to be difficult to fully return to normal. An R0 of over 1 meaning an infected person is infecting more than one other person gets to be an exponential problem that gets out of hand very quickly.

Over a 1 isn’t all that bad. The seasonal flu is a 2.3

The Ro was originally guesstimated somewhere between 2-3. Most put it in the 3 area. Researchers recently put it up to 5.7 which I find to be ridiculous. They came up with that useing statistics from Wuhan China. But 5.7? That’s like smallpox.

You can’t even accurately apply it to influenza unless you have a completely unvaccinated population to tabulate.

No not accurately. I’m pretty sure calculated assuming no immunity. So a 2.3 of something we have no immunity towards would be much worse than the 2.3 seasonal flu.
