Also what noone is talking about... if we are going to hide in our houses and wear a mask and gloves all all times, doesn't this weaken our immune system and make us more likely to get the flu?
I thought we were taught in school that you must be exposed to germs/bacteria and this strengthens your immune system.
So what we are essentially doing is setting ourselves up for mass illness once we come out from hiding.

What i heard is that 60 percent are gonna get it. He isn't working for the gov't right now i believe, so he doesn't have to sugar coat it a bit like fauci (even tho he does a nice job you can't send the whole nation in a panic) so i think we are getting as close to the truth as we can with Mike. It sucks. I can't see me getting my old job back unless we just all go back and roll the dice, which is like playing Russian roulette.

This is true except nobody is talking about hiding at all times. We've been on a recommended lockdown for all of 3 or 4 weeks.
Besides, the invention and popularization of hand sanitizer has already caused a generation of allergies, but the lockdown we're discussing aren't for the length of time you make them out to be.
That is also why nobody is talking about it, it's not relevant at this point.
Getting sick and even dying isn't the problem, overwhelming the healthcare system is the problem, causing needless death...also a problem.

I studied psychology and we briefly tapped into a phenomena. It's one where the reaction of some people will always be negative. If the gov't shuts down and numbers are low, some will think the gov't went overboard (ignoring the fact that the move was designed to lower the numbers). If the gov't stays open and many die, then they will think the gov't didn't do enough.
The gov't can't win and what we get is everyone, no matter what they believe, start thinking the gov't did them wrong.
We are seeing that phenomena play out among the publics of most many western nations.
It also plays out on the internet as well.
Sweden is on course with herd immunity.

You're funny bro. Ton a people are gonna get sick in coming months. But you really can't do shit about it unless you have a vaccine. Not feasable to continue living inside, which is why people will get sick. I think you have no idea about the shit storm that's about to reign over us once public alcohol gets involved. It's going to be a wrap from there.
But as I said, nothing anyone can do.
You just figured out best case is to be immune?
Said that 4 weeks ago. Best case is to contract is and gain immunity. Didn't hear a peep from anyone when I said that.
Sheep around everywhere.
I'm a gambler. I project the future.
One of the best on this site at predicting futures.
Never one to live in the current.
Knee jerk reactors everywhere.
Like I said from day 1:
We are irrelevant
Trump is irrelvant
Only people who are relevant to solving this issue are the epidemiologists working on the vaccine. Regular doctors not gonna cure anyone.
It is what it is.
Man vs. Nature.
Man rarely ever gonna win that battle.
Should we just get on with life? Yeah, probably bro. Enough is enough. Out of your hands.

Half the deaths are in senior care homes as well. Trudeau might never open up. Quebec is starting next week with schools.
I don't what got into Doug Ford he is acting worse then Trudeau.

All the evidence you need that there won’t be a 2nd wave is China. They been open for a month now. Virus is dead there.
China closed Macau for 2 weeks and then opened back up.
No reason for Las Vegas to be closed longer than what Macau was.

Doug Ford is a sellout and knows he is popular trying to save lives.
I understood this lockdown at first when we didn't have data. But stats are showing us this is simply a bad version of the flu.
Open it up and isolate the elderly and the obese.

Wear a mask.
Legit Hotel and Casino's pump O2 around the clock pretty much already to keep you awake and keep gambling.. Safest place to be might be on the Casino hotel ground floors especially if you are winning on the tables..
They pump O2 around the clock in that shiiit before Corona even hit years before....

JJ, I have been going to confession lately. It is doing my mind some good. I feel that Christ is playing a big role in Covod-19. Once you give yourself to the Church you will less likely contract Covid-19. I welcome you to join me on Zoom next Thursday in my prayer group. Christ is good my friend!

Systems exist within systems. Taking responsibility for our own, individual health is important. Eat and rest as well as possible, stay hydrated, get regular exercise, monitor A, C, D, vitamins and zinc.
Advisers such Neil Ferguson in the U.K., and Fauci in the U.S., are in powerful positions to effect elected political behavioural response policies. We would do well to each of us do our own factual research of those in such key positions.
Lockdown was an advised strategy proposed to help flatten the curve, economic implications aside.
As things reopen, let's focus on maintaining our individual health to the best of our ability, taking on the responsibility (if we can) of doing our own individual factual research of vaccine science and regulation, to learn more about what it may or may not be capable of.

maybe in NY....but none of the 63 hospitals that I have as clients have had anything bad. Many of them have had the lowest ER and ICU numbers ever in their existence. All the Covid did was scare the people with actual problems into coming to the hospital. Not fake news but also not worthy of a world shutdown.
It was a good test on how the worlds' governments can control the masses pretty easily

Hospitals here in the Bay Area aren’t bad at all. We’re ready and honestly, we’re all half full. On the business side of things we’re struggling because other than Kaiser, we’re all fee for service and we’ve cancelled our money making elective procedures. Money makers in a hospital are outpatient/same day procedures. We get to bill high rates but spend hardly any resources on that person. All of that is a standstill right now.
So in that sense, ya its bad. Nurses are being laid off, hours cut, taking reductions in pay etc
But from a covid sense, theres only one hospital I know of that is being hit hard and thats Regional in San Jose, and thats only what I’ve heard. Last a friend told me was they had 60 codid patients with 34 on ventilators and 4 on full blown life support with bypass machines.
Stanford is getting hit hard just because they’re the regional referral hospital and get the toughest casss dumped on them but even they havent been hit as hard as they expected, so nurses are being forced to take a day a week off and use PTO.
Thats your Bay Area update

If I had to bet money, Id say we wont be seeing a 2nd wave. I have no reason to believe that but I just dont see it happening, at least until Winter time

Let's face it, the last 6 weeks of social distancing is the reason why most hospitals are not overrun. People pointing to quiet hospitals as the reason why we should not have done a shutdown, are not very smart.

How long is the stay at home thing feasible? Give me an end date roughly.
