Malacka11 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 What's sad is that people believe that they're thinking for themselves by disobeying experts and people in positions of authority. when those experts are clearly right. Right now I'm honestly not sure how the country is still ignoring this so well. But come Christmas, when 300k a day are getting ill, I think that won't be a possibility anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its why Democrats sucked down ballet(but if it gets rid of Pelosi and Chucky the loser, good for that party) in the 2020 election despite a widespread anti-Trump vote.

Right now I'm honestly not sure how the country is still ignoring this so well. But come Christmas, when 300k a day are getting ill, I think that won't be a possibility anymore. Next month they say 20-25 million people in the USA will be getting the vaccine and every month thereafter. If you believe this doctor, we're currently only diagnosing 1 in 5 Covid infections. If we're average 150k infections per day that equates to 750k new covid cases per day. If 11 million people have already been diagnosed than that means 55 million have already had Covid. Herd immunity is estimated to be between the vicinity of 40-70% of the population which would equate to 130 million to 231 million. We "should" have this virus in control by next spring "if" the vaccines are effective and "if" reinfection is as rare as we've seen. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/06/dr-scott-gottlieb-daily-us-covid-cases-are-at-least-half-a-million.html? https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/13/trump-covid-vaccine-december-436481 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 27 minutes ago, ovweather said: I really don’t know what the administration and moderators of this board’s problem is with discussing the politics of Covid? Hoosier, care to elaborate? Again, the reason this country is in this mess right now with Covid is because of politics being played with it. It’s ok for posters to post trolling conspiracy bullshit posts, but when posts that mentions the failure of the current administration to take control of the handling of the virus get deleted, what gives? If we aren’t allowed to openly discuss all aspects of the virus, including the political, then this thread should just be locked once and for all. This topic very easily wades into politics, but in reality, politics are not even supposed to be discussed at this board. We are really bending the rule in here sometimes. The blame game for covid has been done for like 9 months. What good does it do at this point? We know what's up. People are pretty well set in their ways. We have an administration that is on the way out and we need to figure out some way to curb this mess and not just wait around for the vaccine.

Hate to say it but 100k looks well within the realm of possibility by the end of this month. Also this exceeds the spring and summer by 10k.
