I'm not sure where you're going with your comments.
You haven't proven anything.
I'm pretty sure I've proven you don't know the definition of the word "dangerous"...
WookieMan saysYou haven't proven anything.
5% of total annual deaths this year are from Covid.
Five percent of deaths, and the average age of Covid deaths is 85. The life expectancy in the USA is 78.
This disease isn’t responsible for any statistically significant increase of expected deaths.
Keep in mind that every year we lose around 2.8 MILLION people in the USA alone.
140,000 is 5% of that.
This isn’t a pandemic. It’s a rounding error.
Well that is nice.
It doesn't change the fact, and the point of the argument, that COVID IS DANGEROUS.
Do you think ALL those 85 year olds that died from covid would be dead today if covid did not exist?
One has to know someone with a specific disease to believe it is dangerous?
Fauci was right on both of his positions given the available scientific data at the time each position was expressed.

Total horseshit. Is fauci right on saying NY's strategy is the right approach? you know, the place that had more than 2 times the deaths per million as Italy?
you're likely a boomer
I live in California and feel too outnumbered to make a public stand, yet.
Who cares about age...
prodigy saysWho cares about age...
Sorry, you invalidated you argument. What’s more dangerous. a disease that kills 20% of people under 5 or one that kills 20% over 85?
Any disease that kills is dangerous.

Including old fucking age, grandpa.
You’re going to die!
Get used to it.
It's also easy to be right when Fauci is constantly moving the goalpost and saying "science" told him.
Substantially wrong on the mask front if even current recommendations are valid.
WookieMan saysyou're likely a boomer
I'm a boomer and I'm not afraid of a fucking cold.
But this is not about a fucking cold. It's about controlling the narrative.
So you are so freaked out that trump might lose that you would have 10's of thousands of people die prematurely due to no implementation of facemask wearing, enabling the virus to propogate at warp speed.
California mandated face masks weeks ago, was the first state to lock down and has some of the strictest lock down rules in the country. Yet California's infection rate is skyrocketing.
So what do you attribute the warp speed at which the virus is spreading in California?

Yep probably half of them is asymptomatic which should qualify you as healthy. It's utter bullshit and blatantly unconstitutional to demand healthy people who test positive to stay at home against their will.

Yep - I agree with all of that.
Just pointing out the silly claim that many Lefties seem to be making this week that "if only Trump wore a mask, places like California wouldn't have skyrocketing infection rates"
As if the Liberals in California would listen to Trump anyway.

Seriously?
When california locked down heavy volume indoor businesses were shuttered.
Remaining open businesses took recommended precautions, primarily social distancing and facemasks.
Infection rates leveled off but never went down due to ever increasing testing
When california opened up, obviously home gatherings without facemasks, and densely populated public places with partial facemasks restarted the upward trend.
But lack of mask wearing during the reopening amplified the increasing numbers

There is zero proof that any mask under N95 slows the spread at all.
prodigy saysOne has to know someone with a specific disease to believe it is dangerous?
a disease? no. a pandemic? yeah by the definition of the word, most should know many sick and/or dying for it be a pandemic.
mell saysThere is zero proof that any mask under N95 slows the spread at all.
Especially outdoors.
It is extremely difficult to pass on Wuhan virus outdoors. The Chinese published a study of thousands of known transmission. Only one was outdoors, and that was two guys sitting next to each other and talking.

The answer is simple. Masks don't help much and increased testing uncovers many more positives
But the current consensus of droplet (only) is becoming more and more unlikely. It's either aerosol and/or touch or some other mechanism such as unfiltered sewage (vapors/particles) in addition to having a symptomatic person cough on you.
A billion or two chinese would tend to disagree with this statement.
These people have to wear masks or get shot.
How do you explain their ridiculously low infection rate given the population count?
Not something that one would want to hear, but living under communist rule during a pandemic may be the most effective way to eliminate it.
Freedom always extracts a price, this time from mother nature.
