    A vaccine will get us back to as normal as possible but that is still months away.

    Having said that, if I was in a real bad situation unless something was done, I would try anything to stay alive.

    I don't fault with anyone for trying anything to stay alive.

    The coronavirus crisis is devastating the news industry. Many newspapers won’t survive it.

    Sports sections are almost non-existent; jobs, want ads & advertising are scant. Thousands of jobs will disappear.

    Unfortunately for the industry, the printed news is already old news when it hits the driveways of customers.

    All I can say is that once this first wave passes, we must as a country be prepared for the second wave that is expected to come in the fall (per the experts), if not sooner. 

    This means an effective treatment or therapy, such as HCQ cocktail , etc., must be discovered and deemed safe,  and we need to greatly increase production on testing kits for all Americans. 

     

    IMHO, it's only when we have BOTH of these can be start to have some semblance of normality w/ mass gatherings, etc.   Otherwise, I think people may still be fearful in mass gatherings, stadiums.  

    Of course, a vaccine is the silver bullet, but that is not expected for at least a year.  We better start working on an effective treatment and ramp up of the test kits during this valuable time..

    Dr. Fauci: "Although one of the original models projected 100,000 to 200,000 deaths, as we are getting more data and seeing the positive effect of mitigation, those numbers are going to be downgraded... Right now, it looks like it's going to be less than the original projection."

    Some good news for now.

    Kansas Republican leaders revoke Gov. Laura Kelly's executive order limiting church gatherings to 10 people.

    Decisions like this may unnecessarily kill more people.

    You never get tired of saying stupid shit, do you? It's mind blowing. It's whatever though, this is a free country. Which means you are free to be as ignorant as you choose.

    You never get tired of saying stupid shit, do you? It's mind blowing. It's whatever though, this is a free country. Which means you are free to be as ignorant as you choose.

    Midnight, our President is talking about defunding the WHO. A bold move that no President before him would've had the balls to do. How do you feel about this,

    And you are free to follow stupid people. Ignorance can be bliss for you.  I’d recommend always researching both sides and learning to think for yourself. Or beware who you follow.

    I believe he has backed off that position. 

    However, I believe the sharing of information among countries keeps us all safer. Will there be mistakes, sure. Performing due diligence on any information is critical and important step we can't just jump to another country's conclusions.

    I also believe in every country supporting WHO financially equally. The support could be in scientists, laboratories, intellectually as well as innovations because all of this has a "financial" value. The US has budgeted a decline in financial support from 122 million to 58 for 2021. I'd like to know how much other prosperous countries contribute.

    Also before we take any steps, we would need a clear plan to replace the data gathering & value provided by WHO. It's like quitting a job before you have another. Not a smart move IMO.

    STFU, let me answer your redicously easy question.   Defund ALL U.S. money from the WHO.  Your clue was when they became a political body instead of a medical body that is supposed to protect the global community .  After all,  aren't the words "World" and "Health " in their title?   Wisen up !!!

    What is you guys' issue? STFU? I guarantee you wouldn't say that shit to my face. I guarantee i'd slap the shit out of you. You guys are so agro in a fucking chat forum. How old are you guys, like 60? Grow the fuck up. I'm for defunding the WHO, dipshit. That probably went over your head, maybe because you're a dipshit, or maybe because it was directed at a specific person, hence the first word in my damn post being "midnight". You internet cowards are so rarin' to pick an internet fight that you're barking up the wrong tree. Do me a favor and stay the fuck off my cloud.

    If China's coming in at 28, i'd like to see us sliding in there right around 26 seeing as how they seem to put China's interest above the "world's" i mean, the way things are looking now, the only reason ww shouldn't pull our completely ia because, as midnight pointed out, the sharing of data.

    Sure, to a certain extent we all do.  My point is you should research and question why you guys have been so wrong about this so far.  You cannot just take the things you see on TV or read on the internet and run with it. 

    This is one time you Liberals should be glad to be wrong.  There is nothing wrong with saying, “Wow, I am glad we were wrong and you guys were right this time.”  

    But no one ever wants to admit they might be wrong — they just want to promote their side’s talking points.  Then everyone gets angry when folks disagree with them. Then when they are wrong — instead of just admitting it and learning from it, they just try to spin it.  Ridiculous to me.  Research an issue and think for yourself is all I am saying. 

    To be honest — even a lot of Conservatives have gotten scared by this.  I understand this — because it is so overwhelming.  Times like this I am glad I don’t have a TV.

    Stupider is not a word, dumb ass. If you want to demonstrate to someone how stupid you are, say, "You're stupider than I thought." And 26 million is literally paltry. And seeing as how most of these diseases aren't originating on our soil, yes i'm fine with 26 million of our tax dollars going towards staying in the loop. It's just plain not stupider and much better than the upwards of 400-500+ million we are supposedly spending. Midnight makes a does make a good point. And when you're level-headed adult, you can recognize a good point even when made by someone you don't always agree with as opposed to bashing someone using words that don't even exist when clearly you lack the reading comprehension skills to even follow what they are saying. You shouldn't even be posting on covers right now. You should be using this time to get not stupider. Maybe read a book. Actually gain a mastery of the English language.

    I don't know what you mean by "you guys" as I am not liberal. And I don't know what you mean by "got it wrong". Got what wrong? The severity of this disease? Seems pretty spot on to me. And by the way, i've turned my TV on maybe 4 times in the past month.

    So far this has NOT “...make the swine flu look like a mild cold”.

    No it has not been spot on.  Not even close.  Way fewer people are being killed, way fewer are being hospitalized, and way lower death rate than predicted.  AND that is a good thing of course.  But no media or liberal want to even consider admitting this!

    Sen. Bernie Sanders is going to keep all Sanders campaign staffers on the campaign's health care plan through November 2020, campaign manager Faiz Shakir said this afternoon on an all-staff call.

    Nice to see a politician keep their promise.

    Way fewer people are dying, way fewer are being hospitalized because we've essentially been on lockdown for the past month. And yet, we still have not hit our plateau. I don't know why sick individuals like you all seek to politicize everything but this disease is every bit as horrific as it was made out to be.
