It does get tiresome, but it is the reality.118,000+ dead. More dying every day. New hot spots popping up. No Federal leadership whatsoever. If we weren't so used to this garbage, the outcry would be deafening.
Maybe if you brought up policy instead of saying the same thing about a person again and again it wouldn’t be as tiresome.
I would love to talk policy. You tell me what our national policy is and I will be happy to discuss it. Except we have none.
Then perhaps you should retire yourself from this topic if you can’t say anything but the same political statements you’ve been making for weeks now. We all know the problem. We all know where you stand. Nothing you say at this point breaks new ground.
So you guys can't give me a policy?
Health wise - States are in charge- Get a vaccine quick as that is the only solution - Epidemic is being overblownEconomic wise- make a temporary as possible - give money to people in phase one- push fed to lend- keep businesses viable and hope for quick SnapBackPolitical- hope for the summer lull- get people to vote - hope the vaccine comes before second wave or election
That’s a depressing plan if that is the best they can come up with.

I know they are trying to paint the US in a negative light compared to the other 3, but Italy and Spain both still have COVID deaths per million at a rate 60-65% higher than the US. Absolutely. And stop the unnecessary focus on “new cases” and focus on hospitalizations/deaths in the absolute, not misrepresentative metrics like “150% increase in hospitalizations” when an area goes from 2 to 5 hospitalizations
Pretty slim pickings after that. Oh, and research is suggesting that having type A blood might put you at higher risk. That is about a third of the population.
I think the fact that we are attacking this state by state and region by region is a fascinating real time study of the disease. Somebody is going to have explain why states that had a controlled open are potentially fairing worse than a state like Wisconsin is doing ok. We're going to have to figure out whether opening, protests, other factors, or some combination of these things is leading to the increase in cases. As an example, Texas started opening up at the beginning of May and they are seeing an increase now.....even if you open the variance to its widest point (two weeks to symptoms and two weeks to hospitalization for everyone) you'd be hard pressed to see this as a result of opening. It is a very curious thing and I really wish we weren't politicizing the data one way or the other. Need to create hypothesis and test them against the data and that's the conclusion.
Yeah, I'm not going to believe that until I see a lot more study/analysis. The fact that a third of the population has type A blood means it could be a simple statistical variance of A types getting/having worse outcomes that has no correlation.And do you really want to plan assuming that A types are going to die if they get it, because if you do then you should be advocating for lockdown until vaccine.
I heard an interesting theory yesterday. Southern states are heading inside and spending more time in A/C and windows closed. Northern states spending more time outside. Could also be a reason why the reverse was true early.I personally wouldnt over-attribute the day the re-opening starts. The fact that this needs people to people contact (which increases daily when shut-downs end) and clearly needs a lot of spread before it becomes a problem for hospitals, means it likely takes a month plus of unknown spread before you see a 'hot spot'.
I was thinking similar. We'll just have to wait a few weeks after super summer heat finally shows up here.
I agree that we need to see more before we definitively conclude anything about blood types. My point is just that distinguishing high-risk from low-risk is not nearly as easy as you seem to think. As to blood types FWIW, there have been several independent studies that all seem to be coming to the same conclusion. The following article lists a handful (including one that was peer-reviewed) that came to the same result:https://cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/infectious-disease/Genetic-study-suggests-peoples-blood/98/i23Maybe it turns into nothing, but it is at least worth watching.
