    Yes, you're absolutely right. This is why I said "in some pockets." In my area, we aren't there yet, but we may very well get there. And yes, we're seeing younger people getting sick, now.

    And yes, like I've been saying practically from day one, fatalities are not the whole story with the SARS-CoV-2, because a LARGE number of survivors especially in the 20% of severe cases, comes out of it with permanent organ damage. I'm not even just talking about "long Covid" that eventually settles down, but of people who may have had their lungs, brain, kidneys, heart, pancreas, etc., permanently damaged. The fools who keep thinking that this virus is not dangerous because it "only" kills 1%, are... fools.

    And I guess I was proven right in OUR dispute-- which led you to throw an, "ignore," tantrum-- if you are openly quoting MY position: that doctors include ALL KINDS of people, including enough who don't seem sufficiently bright for the job, to warrant not automatically assuming that they know best.


    Your position was that ALL Doctors were in the top 10% of IQ, in case your memory is foggy on that point.


    I suppose, if you conceded that IQ tests don't accurately show differences in reasoning ability (deductive intelligence, analytical prowess)...

    Ivermectin like hydroxyqloroqeuine does not have Emergency Use Authorization.

    Fake News. CA is the epicenter with 32.9% of the nation's active cases while only having 11.9% of the nation's population.
    FL has only 5.6% percent of the active cases while they have 6.4% of the population.

    Not even close to true. CA topped out at around 12,000 cases a day last week. Florida was hitting 40,000. The map disproves your claim.

    Would he be okay with becoming Trump's Veep? :)

    There are still 4m people out of work because consumers have shifted spending from services performed here to goods often made overseas, or they may be postponing services purchases. We can't fully recover in the short-run--where consumers return to their pre-covid purchasing patterns--as long as people are avoiding exposure to covid.

    People are avoiding the virus. I don't see how DeSantis comes out ahead if the Florida economy is weak.

    Fake news.

    CA total cases are 1,800,002 with a total population 39,512,223, that is, 4.6% of CA has an active case of COVID
    FL total cases 307,969 and a total population 21,477,737, that is, 1.4% of FL has an active case of COVID

    Are you clear on the fact that 4.6% is 3.3 times 1.4%?

    In reference to ACTIVE CASES versus TOTAL RECOVERED, what's wrong with Virginia?

    Virginia

    Active Cases; 625,929

    Total Recovered; 58,168...............How come Virginians aren't recovering?


    California;

    Active Cases; 1,800,002

    Total Recovered; 2,100,971

    A lot of Blue States get a pass:

    RI - 13.4% are infected
    MD - 7.4% are infected
    VA - 7.3% are infected
    CA - 4.6% infected
    WA - 3.1% infected
    FL - 1.4% infected

    And FL is the "epicenter"?

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

    Most of them are reading this on a device that has a built in calculator, yet, not one runs the numbers? And the fake news folks that feed them this crap are rightfully confident that not a one of them will run the numbers?

    We as a nation spend $Billions on "education" and no one checks what they are being told?

    Amazing.

    This "freedom of choice" stuff is nonsense. This country has a very long history of public health measures that include quarantines, curfews, masks, business closures and limitations on public gatherings--all the measures Trumpers see as tyranny.

    Folks, it doesn't even matter if Florida is the epicenter or not. What matters is that the Florida governor is ACTIVELY helping the spread of the virus.

    You do understand that I wasn't the one saying so, right? You quoted from my post but I was quoting another poster.

    The unvaccinated were certainly not the ones who defended our country....

    Too scared to get vaccinated, too scared to be on the frontline.

    Covid is spreading largely because Republicans aren't getting vaccinated in sufficient numbers.

    Nonsense.

    The news lies, the hospitals lie, and people who truly are sick have, on average, 2.6 comorbidities.

    Stop believing obvious propaganda.
