    Maybe people have finally had enough of this...



    You can only fool all of the people some of the time.

    Yep. One thing for sure, this virus has taken a lot of peoples jobs, leaving the populace weak for finances. Pretty much do anything for a roll of toilet paper. Then you have Power Mongers like Bill Gates wanting to push mandatory, traceable vaccines. Not really liking this situation. Freedoms taken away/suspended. Not a fan of the flattened curve.

      Been kind of wondering the same things since they started all this madness. Man has been around for what, a couple hundred thousand years now, and we have beaten viruses since then by doing exactly what he described there. Seems we are trying to circumvent the way our bodies work. I don't see how the long term outcome from hiding from a disease is the right way to go.

        The whole point of flattening the curve is to give medical staff a chance to keep up so they don't have to triage you or your wife when they don't have enough equipment.

          There's a reason why things are peer reviewed.

          Despite anyone's title until it's vetted and reviewed it's still just one person's theory

          But it is great at confirmation bias

              A flatter curve just means you prolong it. Same number of sick people just spread over time. There has to be a way to protect the old and weak and still get back to business. When I hear Fauci say it will take 18 months best case to get a vaccine to make sure it is safe, I want to slap him. You can't keep people locked up for 18 months.

                    What about the medial staff that is being furloughed, the empty hospital beds, empty hospitals and surplus of respirators?

                    The models were never right so lets get people back to work because the cure is definitely worse than the disease.

                      Hospitals are far from overwhelmed. And hydroxychloroquine has a near 100% success rate in treating patients with COVID-19, whether it's been peer reviewed for it or not. Academic bureaucracy has a valuable purpose and place. But we'd do better to follow common sense and practical realism in times like these, rather than bowing to the snail pace and inefficiencies of academic bureaucracy. Lives are at stake. Do what works, and let the academics catch up later. That's the way it always goes anyway. Real people with real jobs get things done, and then academics plod along and eventually explain to the rest of us how to get it done.

                        Where are you seeing this? My wife and daughter are both in the medical fields and that's not the case in the Houston area.

                          I have multiple friends and clients here in Abilene that are nurses and technicians at the hospitals that are laid off or have had their hours cut in half. The hospitals are near empty. There are numerous reports from every city and every state, including NYC, of the same thing. Hospitals are not overwhelmed. They're losing millions of dollars in revenue each week, because they're basically ghost towns.

                            Ch 2 News talked about it yesterday. They were questioning the reasoning behind the makeshift hospital at NRG since there are still so many open beds at the local hospitals.

                            I have friends in the medical field who are also telling me most of what the msm is showing is not true. There are empty hospitals and a surplus of respirators.

                            My wife’s best friend is a triage nurse at a hospital south of Houston. She and the majority of her staff are working from home.

                              Depends on where you are in the state.

                              I just got furloughed from my hospital.
