Fireballer 2,369 Posted November 3, 2020 I don't claim to be the smartest guy in world, so can someone help me out? What special things can be done, by these two in the executive branch, that will "control" the virus? Thats her words, not mine. Wouldn't these secret "control" measures be leaked to Dem governors and mayors by now to protect blue states and cities? On a humanitarian level, shouldn't they share these "control" measures with the American people to keep them safe from the virus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People don’t want to conform to state contact tracing, I don’t see why a national one would be better received. Plus that can’t pop up overnight. Stimulus depends on the Senate. I’m seeing Biden commercials promising mask mandates, do people actually believe this stuff? Anyway, IMO anything he does isn’t going to materially change the inevitable path of this virus. ETA: “depends on the Senate” means they would need to turn blue to approve Pelosi’s pork-laden bailout for Biden to sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also cringe every time I hear “Trump is directly responsible for 200k+ deaths!” As if Biden could have magically stopped it from coming into the US in the first place. We probably could’ve done some more testing and better contract tracing in the beginning, but I don’t really think the death count would’ve been all that different. Of course we’ll never know.

From what I’ve read one of our apparently biggest failures was how the initial batch of tests from the CDC were faulty, which put us behind.

Top disease official: Risk of coronavirus in USA is 'minuscule'; skip mask and wash hands Jayne O'Donnell USA TODAY The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be testing for the coronavirus in people in five major cities who show up at clinics with flu-like symptoms but who test negative for the seasonal varieties. If that testing shows the virus has slipped into the country in places federal officials don't know about, "we've got a problem," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told USA TODAY's Editorial Board Monday. Short of that, Fauci says skip the masks unless you are contagious, don't worry about catching anything from Chinese products and certainly don't avoid Chinese people or restaurants. "Whenever you have the threat of a transmissible infection, there are varying degrees from understandable to outlandish extrapolations of fear," Fauci said. Government agencies, including Fauci's own at the National Institutes of Health, are being inundated with calls and emails from nervous people, just as they were during the Ebola and SARS scares.

TimHauck 1,795 Posted November 3, 2020 One key takeaway IMO from that video is he does quote typical flu season deaths at 30-80k. Looks like we were at about 190k deaths on 9/1 (roughly 6 months from the start of everything to compare to a flu season). So even if you take out 30k motorcycle covid deaths, best case scenario and you’re looking at 2x deadlier than that of a bad flu season (that didn’t even happen in winter). Worst case it is 5-10x deadlier. So people calling it a “worse flu” now probably aren’t making a terrible comparison...”like the flu” is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why it's important for people to be aware of the Covid and act accordingly, especially if they are in one of the at risk groups. But, once we have a vaccine, it will be just like the flu. So the comparison to the flu is apt. We just don't have all the tools for fighting Covid that we have for the flu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
