I also read that for those with loss of smell and taste, that was all they experienced. So they are carriers more than getting sick.Quote:

I do wonder if the idea of, "training through a cold" had anything to do with increasing severity. They are conditioned to keep going.
Fauci predicts Americans will likely need to stay home for at least several more weeks
“I cannot see that all of a sudden, next week or two weeks from now it's going to be over. I don't think there's a chance of that," he said.

Maybe we can beat this afterall.
There is a silver lining....
Experts are saying the first 3 weeks of the virus was the most important to avoid spreading.....
UNFORTUNATELY, China hauled in Dr’s and Media members during that time of importance to shut them up.....
Dr, how can you compare Italy to the US when the death rates are not even close?Quote:

You need to compare SKorea to the US.
The damn Democrats are more concerned with ideological agendas with this stimulus package...
The Dems wish list is a joke for this crisis.....
They can’t keep it simple...
You know that kind of programmed Sean Hannity, Laura Ingrahm, red hat thinking has no place in the coming post virus world. The irony is Republicans aren't making a stand against socialism and bailouts now. It's hurry up without reading the fine print.Quote:

Hmmm What about he giant companies with CEOs who get hundreds of millions for bonuses, asking for a bailout? Why don't they use the money they make off their workers, make sure they have money to eat and stay healthy but sacrificing some billions? You know, instead of crying to the federal government that they are victims and need help?Quote:
