COVID-19 (Wuhan Novel Coronavirus) Pandemic Master Thread

Just asking because you were insinuating that your doctor came to different conclusions than what has been discussed on DDF. It's a semi rhetorical question.

[PlatinumGuy]

In a study published Friday in Science, the group, led by George Kassiotis, who heads the Retroviral Immunology Laboratory at the institute, reports that on average only 5 percent of adults had these antibodies, but 43 percent of children did.

Most of those pushing closing shuls were at least partially based on the government. If the government makes it up as they go along I don't care how many differences you find, they have zero credibility.

I don’t think anybody who pushed closing shuls because of danger had anything to do with the government. As you have stated elsewhere, most shuls closed *before* the government mandated closures and opened *before* they were allowed as well.

If DDF was my Dr. I would have locked myself in my house for months on end. And would probably be suffering from PTSD. Thank G’d I’m living life.

I’m fairly certain the vast majority of DDF wasn’t pushing anything close to that lifestyle but if that’s the conclusion you came to you’re probably seeing posts I’m not.

If that would cause PTSD you probably need to see a doctor. Also, you should get a doctor anyway. DDF is great but MDs are better.

Modified version of immunity passports?

Let me know when the world economy is back to normal without some version of immunity passports.

[CountValentine]

140k+ new cases. Must be the testing.

Are you considering a certificate of vaccination an immunity passport?

A modified version thereof.

[aygart]

A modified version thereof.

That would be an incentivisation that we can accept.

[S209]

A modified version thereof.

It’s an immunity passport that doesn’t incentivize infection, but rather vaccines. It’s great because if many companies adopt this it’s a way to compel everyone to get vaccinated through capitalism, not government force, thus taking care of the obvious moral dilemmas intrinsic to a mandated vaccine.

Sort of like the parents of a school insisting that unvaxxed kids shouldn't come.

Of course, if vaccines are only given to those not yet infected then the passport would need to include natural immunity as well.

YWN: Warning that 1,000 more Chicagoans could die by year’s end, Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday issued a stay-at-home “advisory” and slapped a mandatory, 10-person lid on social gatherings to control a second surge of coronavirus cases that’s worse than the first.

The stay-home advisory takes effect at 6 a.m. Monday. Chicagoans are urged to leave home only for work, school, medical appointments, groceries, take-out food and pharmaceuticals.

The 10-person limit on meetings and social events also takes effect at 6 a.m. on Monday. It impacts everything from weddings, birthday parties and business dinners to social events and funerals. It applies to “any venue” where a gathering or social event takes place, “including meeting rooms.”

Just like the varicella vaccine isn't given to those that have had the actual virus/disease.

IIRC he is not in Chicago.

How are all of the “It’s all political, COVID won’t exist after the election” peeps enjoying “Lockdown Thursday”?

[CountValentine]

COVID is taking over the news cycle. Not sure why. If the hospitals are overflowing send them "around the corner".
Where is our president when Americans are dropping like flies? We are going to end up with over 500k dead but you got your SCOTUS!

I highly doubt anyone who said that, including myself, was saying it seriously. At least I know for myself I was being totally sarcastic because the that's what the liberals made it sound like - get Trump out of office (since he's completely manhandling the virus response), elect Biden, and poof COVID is gone.

Anyone with any bit of common sense would see and know that the virus is real and there is no way that would have happened. It was a progression for the virus to spread around the world (didn't happen from one day to the next) and it will be a progression to hopefully get rid of it.

Trying to mitigate spread is a state issue. The federal government pumped money into an unprecedented vaccine acceleration program, which appears to be bearing fruit. What do you expect POTUS to be doing at this point that you're dissatisfied with or think someone else would be doing better?

Can you give a concrete example?
