COVID Economy

[forgetful]

Once vaccinated, your chances of getting covid are extremely slim. And, if you do, getting very ill and/or dying are essentially off the table. Look at it this way, if you were told you had a 95% chance of winning tonight's lottery, you'd buy a ticket, aina?

This is true right now. But 91.5% of the population isn't vaccinated yet.

And, the longer this is circulating, and the more it is circulating the more and more likely that we get a true escape variant where the above isn't true.

So, even if you don't care about that 91.5%, do you want to risk an escape variant that will greatly prolong the economic and physical suffering? All because people are too much of a wuss to wear a mask?

We absolutely agree, Doc.

But right now, only a small percentage of Americans have been vaccinated. So why throw caution to the wind now, when we are mere months away from being able to do so relatively safely? Let's wait for science, aina?

Nads, why would you bring up Gov. Cuomo, hey?

Yes, it is terrible what Cuomo did. He should resign or be impeached.

There. See how easy it is to admit when a leader isn't leading, Doc?

Texas opened. Then had to close again cause numbers exploded.

So ...?

And, how many of the 91.5% have had covid already and have immunity? Much ta due 'bout nothing, 'cept four promotin' certain agendas, hey?

If you've been vaccinated, you are not a threat to anyone, nor are they a threat to you. For those who have yet to be immunized, they should do whatever they see fit to do, to protect themselves.

I think he might be referring to in mid-october, when despite cases still being rampant, and warnings from science and health officials he opened the state up considerably, and barred local officials from over-ruling his decision despite morgues filling up and having to bring in refrigerated trucks to store the dead.

Something like 30,000 people died since, because he opened up when he shouldn't, and waited forever to dial things back down.

It has not been shown that vaccinated people cannot transmit the virus.

Nobody is stopping you from putting a mask on and going to do everything your heart can dream of doc.  Have at it!

Yes it is, you moron. Science says it doesn't know if a vaccine prevents you from spreading the virus.
I used to think your spelling was a childish, tired, unfunny shtick, but now I realize you mostly likely truly are illiterate.

After opening pretty much everything to at least 50% capacity in May, coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths increased significantly in Texas and Abbott reversed course in June.

"If I could go back and redo anything, it probably would have been to slow down the opening of bars, now seeing in the aftermath of how quickly the coronavirus spread in the bar setting."

-- Abbott on June 26, after ordering Texas bars to close again and restaurants to reduce to 50% occupancy as coronavirus spreads

"At this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars. The actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this virus and protect public health."

rocket, now it's time for you to provide evidence that 1,700+ Americans dying every day = "putting this thing in the category of catching just about anything else."

Thanks!

You two seem agitated lately.  Talk about serious. Maybe put your masks on and go get a good steak and wine or something.  You know, support the economy.

Not surprising. Two polls last week showed well over 70% of Americans support it, including almost 60% of Republicans.

  ohh, you're talking way back last spring he opened, then closed-smart move.   one of the few who can think while he's walking.  and now reopened-don't know what the beef is..

now about that 1700 + dead?  don't know what context your in here 82

You probably didn't realize the irony of this statement because Abbott literally can't walk.

but but but last may, your hero fowski was asked when we feel we can get back to normal and he said when we get a vaccine.  so i'm sure all of this will be clarified(used loosely) at our state of the union address...next year?  isn't there usually some kind of presser announcing updates and what plans are going forward.  they just need a jumbotron the size of dallas cowboys stadium fit into the capital for a teleprompter

He then reopened again, in October, for political reasons, despite the fact that science and health advisors indicated it would be a colossal mistake.

Led to 10's of thousands of more deaths, made Texas one of the worst off states in the country, and hid behind local government officials, who he eventually let add back closures after it was too late.

Still hasn't learned from his first two colossal mistakes. At what point does it become murder?
