1) It’s a more serious condition than the naysayers have claimed, but only for a small percentage of the population and it’s not just limited to older people and fat people. While some increased risk factors have been identified, there is, as of yet, no objectively discernible reason for the virus causing people younger than let’s say 50 to die or to struggle badly with it while others are completely and utterly symptom free.

2) It’s far less serious than the people in hysterics over it. Your chances of dying from contracting this virus are low.

3) It is now endemic. And that sucks but it is what it is. It’s not going away ever short of a vaccine and it’s beyond likely that it’s going to evolve/mutate.

4) Given that it is undeniably endemic, it’s time to calm down. It’s time to go back to work and normal life unless you guys think we should social distance and wear masks until humanity ends.

K bye.

Great point

The 1919 Spanish Flu never had a vaccine, and yet it went away

The 1969 Hong Kong Flu never had a vaccine, and yet it went away

The 2003 SARS virus never had a vaccine, and yet it went away

The 2009 Swine Flu virus never had a vaccine, and yet it went away

The 2011 Bird Flu virus never had a vaccine, and yet it went away

... but the 2020 corona virus (aka the nursing home virus) is something we will have to live with forever.... unless the benevolent billionaire "doctor bill" can save humanity with a vaccine

You're all wrong. I read on internet basketball forums that covid19 is fake. It's a conspiracy for the government to force everyone to wear a mask. The mask is the mark of the beast.

My sources provided knowledge it was indeed a Chinese pharmaceutical bio weapon to target Trump supporters and murican freedom (similar to Resident Evil) . Somehow it between Chinese labs the secret of the ooze leaked out of a test tube and spilled into the sewers, which is where we got the 'bats', 'wet market'.

Unlikely, a few of us already knewthat it was indeed not bats but actually turtles. Ones apparently that started to develop ninja like habits and a pizza obsession after being exposed to the covid ooze

If I want to walk out my house without pants and no diapers I should be able to without consequence, this is america.

If I choose to not wear a mask when i'm out and about it is also my constitutional right and you cannot punish me. I know my bill of rights and also studied the arts of the blade

I feel bad for the 'Rona. It's just another living organism trying to live and survive in a cruel and harsh world. I'm sure it's not purposely trying to kill you.

And here we are trying to kill it. We've badmouthed it, cursed it, and disrespected it's way of life. We are no better than this virus.

Very true. This virus is actually the earth trying to tell us to **** off.

dont feel bad

viruses are not organisms, they are more like molecular machines

viruses technically arent alive tio.

they only "gain life" when they hijack a living cell. Then once they get one they reproduce and send more spawns out to hijack more.

There are some viruses like rabies or polio that ravage brain and nerve cells. Some like HIV that target immune system. Smallpox skin and general organs.

This virus? is the same cold strand we see every year just more infectuous. It's strength is weak though.

So they are zombie viruses?? :(

5) 95%+ of US hospitals were never at risk of being overwhelmed. (ie the entire goal of the lockdowns was to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed)

This was known in March and that is when the lockdown should have ended. Instead we've flattened our healthcare system, crippled our economy, put 30+ million Americans out of work, missed 80,000 cancer diagnoses, given up our liberties for no good reason, and gave trillions of taxpayer dollars to big banks/corporations.

Our cure has been far worse than the disease.

Note to ignorant pro-lockdown crowd: notice how I didn't include mark of the beast, illuminati, bill gates' vaccine to kill us all, etc? What I said isn't a conspiracy, just the facts.

Point #1 is interesting and why I'm not necessarily worried but wonder why it happens.

People need to get in shape and stop being fat.

Due to the fact that the current dem candidate (aka Joe "smell my finger" Biden) has absolutely zero chance of getting elected unless this virus completely obliterates the US economy and hordes of americans are kicked out of their homes, I would expect the economic destruction and associated misery to last until november or later

Theres no need to cater to the pro-lockdown crowd, its not like they will never give you the benefit of the doubt or treat you as anything less than "deplorable"

Indeed. The real health crisis in the US is obesity.

USA adults are at 38% obesity (https://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-obesity-in-america-20160606-snap-story.html) while government makes gyms illegal, deems McDonald's essential, and orders everyone to stay home indefinitely.

One of my friend's children will almost certainly die if they catch this. Just telling everyone to go back to normal is ignorant.

When should we remove the lockdowns? When should we allow the non essential people to support their families (ie work) again?
