    That might turn out to be a good point. If it's100K, there will be a lot less transmission than if it's half a million.

    What do you care? You seem to want deaths for your agenda.

    To a degree, I agree.

    But what I've been saying is partly gallows humor.

    Conservatives, real conservatives, want to conserve. Which means protect and maintain. But in an era of constant change, protecting means adapting to the new world we live in.

    That has implications you might not like. The way I think, the only real Conservatives are the Progressives.

    The Right has been whining and denying from the beginning. So why should I when you don't??

    Ever hear of Reverse Psychology...?

    20% of a quarter million is a whole lot of "spreaders"

    This is Darwin's theory of evolution at work.

    Cadavers for Trump.

    Everybody is going to get the coronavirus; it's just a matter of timing.

    Masks, distance, and washy may delay the inevitable, but virtually everybody is going the get this virus at some point.

    Masks, distance, and washy do not save lives but these do apparently flatten the curve.

    If you have A, B, or AB blood and a weakness for the coronavirus with co-morbidities you are most likely going to die at some point, unless a good, effective vaccine becomes available.

    Of the 20% who do get it the overwhelming majority will be asymptomatic and according to and increasing number of studies as time rolls on not significant spreaders of the disease.

    Who says aymptomatics can't spread it?

    And how many super spreaders does it take to kick things up substantially?

    Thanks

    You just condemned a lot of people to death

    Here's another idea.

    We mitigate so that NOT everyone gets it

    There is no equivalent to a typhoid Mary yet found for this disease.

    We certainly have seen the effects of "super spreaders"

    South Korea had an outbreak in the hundreds traced to one bar hopping guy

    There have been many in this country as well

    Just about everyone IS going to get it. Whoever gets COVID-1984 AFTER there is an effective vaccine and takes the vaccine first is unlikely to get sick, or die, or spread it -- because their immune system will be jacked up strong and ready for it.

    Right now them dice be rollin' and choosin' who gonna die day by day. And all we got is a glorified snot rag, distance and washy.

    Happenstance. That's run of the mill crap for any contagious disease. Typhoid Mary was a life long conduit for typhoid without herself ever getting the disease. That doesn't at the present time seem to happen with this stuff. Probably having to do with how it operates.

    It's OK, the "experts" told us that nationwide protest and riots did not spread it so one event wont do anything. Any proof they are all "Trump voters"? No, just a partisan accusation. You imagine no liberals or any others attend?

    That’s what vaccines do. They prepare your immune system to deal with the virus when it’s introduced to your body.

    Yep. So do T-cells. There are studies that many people have T-cells (memory cells which recognize a virus) and may be either immune, or may only get an asymptomatic or low-grade infection. It's possible that previous exposure to to one of the several coronaviruses which are responsible for the common cold actually built these T-cells in some people which can transfer to protection from Covid-19.

    They've found that even if antibodies are short-lived, these T-cells exist in those who've been infected, like "sleeper" cells that wake up when needed.

    Immunity 101. :)

    Yeppers. I was corresponding with @CenterField yesterday and we were lamenting the fact media wasn’t reporting what you posted above. Then this morning my wife had our local farm radio station on and they had a long report on the Nature article on the subject. Made a liar out of me!

    Keep preaching the good news! Doom and gloom gets old fast. :)
