Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

Leftists fight back against end the shutdown by crying “racism”
By Andrea Widburg

Since we’ve learned more about the virus, it’s becoming clear that, because the virus isn’t as deadly as the models claim, a complete economic shutdown is not going to save lives. Armed with that information, the logical thing to do is to re-open the economy as quickly as possible. The rising number of people protesting, committing civil disobedience, and taking advantage of any exceptions to lockdown (just look at these surfers), shows that Americans are ready and, indeed, desperate to get back to normal.

Democrats, however, are loath to do so. I posited on Tuesday that, with their draconian lockdown orders, all of which are predicated on successfully wiping erasing the virus with a vaccination (reminder: there’s still no AIDS vaccination), the Democrats’ real goal is to tank the economy so that Trump cannot get reelected.
I'm even more concerned about a political motive behind the shutdowns now that hardcore Democrat activists are alleging that lifting lockdowns is racist. Bringing out the "racism" big gun ignores the fact that poverty, not to mention a complete collapse of the American economy and food supply chains, will kill more blacks than the virus ever could. The following are just some examples of the effort to block re-opening America by claiming racism.

This is great stuff. The stupidity of the author is mind-boggling.

The rest of us know what he means. It means you libtards and your libtard media need to keep the fear and panic up regardless of real numbers. At least until Joe makes his concession call in November.

Your response got hidden by a typo. It appears you meant to say --

If you truly believe that Democrat's "real goal is to tank the economy so that Trump cannot get reelected" then there is no hope for any rational conversation with you. Also, what about those GOP governors who don't want to re-open their states either? Are they secretly Democrats?

This virus is non-political, it hits everyone despite party line. We need to work together to figure out how to re-open the economy without ramping up the deaths too quickly. I am of the school that we can't continue to stay completely shut down, we need to find a way towards "Phase 2" (whatever you want to call it). Protect the most vulnerable while allowing the country to re-open.

But how do we do that? No one is 100% sure of the best approach so if there is ever a time for collaboration it's now. These ridiculous conspiracy theories do nothing to help solve the problem.

Speaking of conspiracy theories, Alex Jones is leading demonstrations calling for the arrest of Bill Gates. My long-time dislike for Bill Gates and his marketing processes has been tempered somewhat by his work in giving away much of his ill-gotten gains for good causes. Even so, I don't see what Jones could have on Gates, unless he just needs a well-known target to keep his followers interested.

Too early to get so wound up about the election. Your guy still has a chance, "Outlaw." I just love writing that name. It's so cute. Do you have a "Podner?"
 
Well, I'm going to add some hopeful news here. I'm sure many have already seen some of the promising news on Remdesivir, the antiviral originally developed for use against Ebola (which failed, unfortunately). Looks like the results of the clinical trials are looking good, so good in fact the FDA is fast tracking it's use for COVID-19. The official study data hasn't been released yet so it's unclear the severity of illness for those patients enrolled in the clinical trials. Important because an earlier study from China showed disappointing results, but they tried the drug only on the most severe patients. Since anti-virals work by stopping the virus from replicating in the body, changes are those already in critical condition were too far gone for Remdesivir to help.

I worked for the Roche Pharma research lab when they developed the antiviral, Tamiflu. It's some pretty fascinating and exciting science. Your risk of complications such as pneumonia are greatly reduced and your symptoms are much less severe. (In our family's experience with Tamiflu, fever is gone within 24 hours of starting the drug, 72 hours later it's like you were never sick).

If Remdesivir works similarly against COVID-19 this could be a real game changer. Too bad it's intraveneous only because if it were pill form it would be easier to dispense for prophylactic use in those exposed but not symptomatic.

FDA will reportedly authorize use of remdesivir for Covid-19 after trial shows 'positive effect' on recovery time

Researchers released some good news about a possible treatment for coronavirus Wednesday -- evidence that the experimental drug remdesivir might help patients recover more quickly from the infection.

Remember he dropped out when things started getting tough in school. What did he say 8th or 9th grade? That's why he likes palin, she's a quitter too.
