Pretty sure I can find some paid experts to say that COVID-19 was created by Bill Gates' money.
Again, I'm not doubting the realness of this virus, but have issues with the handling of it.
Lots of agendas at play and quite a bit of conflict of interest going on.
Both LA and San Francisco have major international airports. Both also have a sizable Chinese population, particularly the Bay Area.China's strains hit more on your side of the country.
The biggest thing that this pandemic has done is to make people fucking insane!
Imagine that! Some people are not only welcoming, but demanding, their own and other’s slavery!
The most I get from that chart...and some others I've seen...is that the shutdowns have not had the desired effect of "flattening the curve".
They have a problem...by making all the healthy people stay shut in, the have avoided achieving herd immunity...
Oh, really?

But what would we know, right?
miro - you don't know anything about "herd immunity" - firstly, the term is used to describe the effect from mass vaccinations, not mass infections, secondly there is at present, zero proof that it's even possible with COVID-19.
The UK played with the "herd immunity" concept for several days, only - instead of locking down. And now they have a disaster.
And Sweden's model, for which love was expressed earlier in this thread, is now being heavily criticised, based on the fact that of all the Nordic countries, they have by far the worst death rate per capital.
And as for the "it's just the flu" and 30,000 people died of the flu last year. Firstly, in 2 days' time, you'll hit 30,000 deaths in a month from COVID-19. What do you think's going to happen in a year? Good luck with that. Secondly, if 30,000 people died from the flu in the US last year then because you don't vaccinate against it enough - you know, and achieve "herd immunity"? Scaled for population, that's about 3 times the death rate of other countries whose health practices you're not interested in understanding because you're American and what the fuck does the rest of the world know about anything?
Enjoy your disaster.
Given all the above, it's possible to find a number of reasons why Australia and NZ are faring pretty well above and beyond the results of policies. Nevertheless, preventing the entry of the virus and containing its spread are important that appear to have worked.
Maybe you have forgotten that people who HAVE the virus may not show symptoms for as long as 2 weeks - but still be spreading the virus to others. So, you, the 'healthy' person could still get it from one of those 'healthy' people. and spread it to others, who spread it to others who....AFA truly containing spread...it's called quarantining the sick...not the healthy.

Oh my. This post is a good example of how truly lost people are.
Those who feel they're 100% right........are fools.
If they open back up to save the economy from tanking further into unemployment abyss, I'll still probably try to keep low social interactions and avoid the herds of goobers roaming around coughing and pretending its all normal. Just keep clean and try to stay out of the hospital, as usual...actually maybe put more effort than usual.
