What emergency?
THANK YOU for that! Cuts to the core.
Lack of immortality isn't an emergency.
What emergency?
Yes, had people been outside going to the beach, parks, even gyms things would have been far better. Blocking off parks and beaches might have been the dumbest thing the politicians did.I saw a study that 99% of infections occur indoors.
It has ALWAYS been understood that getting outside, in the sun and fresh air is high on the list to do when the cold or flu is going around.
Instead, people were told to stay indoors unless packing into WalMart and big box stores.
When anyone tries to use threats and fear to motivate me to do what is in their interests and against mine, that sales pitch is going to fail.
Going thru the national data on hospitalizations i dont see an emergency.THANK YOU for that! Cuts to the core.

It already was. The total absence of appealing destinations, and intelligence, combines to make it that.It’s really gonna be flyover country now.
Meanwhile.
Not Getting Vaccinated is an Applause Line at CPAC Dallas
These people are incapable of acting like responsible adults. 1) The vaccines are still beating the variants. 2) The variants are pummeling unvaccinated people. 3) The longer 2 continues, the less likely 1 will hold.debatepolitics.com

Who?they are testing people who shouldnt even be tested
I like to see the best in everyone. We all get heated at times. And thanks.You're fairly new. Be careful deciding who is cool based upon popularity. That is highly partisan on this forum. My other advise is never draw any conclusion about any poster based on the basement (and remember the Vegas rules). Many posters the better ones refuse to participate in the basement - and others can not post in the basement.
There is nothing cool about his message and this is not an uncommon set of personal opinions and hatred that appear to totally consume im over and over again. He is a VERY angry old man in his messages and self description on the forum.
Like who you like for sure and who I like in a personal sense isn't partisan. But remember, this is an anonymous forum and the longer you are here the more you will see the distinction between partisan popular members, members who are blindly pure partisan, and those members who think independently. I often break from party line and often have a 3rd opinion - meaning time and time time may disagree with anyone. That is the path to unpopularity on the forum since for most it is about blind partisanship.
You would think every Democrat would condemn calling for people to die, but doing so would be disloyal to the team - and particularly on the progressive Democrat side it is all about the team. You can find thousands and thousands of messages by Trump supporters - including me - criticizing Trump severely.
Try to find a progressive criticizing Biden or Obama in any real way - or any other Democratic poster. You can't. Progressivism is about collectivism, for which loyalty to the leadership - in both the public and private sector - must be absolute and unquestioning. To be a progressive Democrat is to agree to be nothing but a little cog in the Democratic machinery run by others. A person exists solely to serve the collective. Call it fascism, socialism, communism or totalitarianism.
Kind of keep an eye out for that distinction between Republicans and Democrats on the forum.
^ That's just my view of it.
I dont think the unvaccinated have much to worry about, and the vaccinated absolutely nothing. Again, i dont think anyone really wants people to die.
She's talking about now, the impact of Delta coupled with half the country being immunized. You can't argue that things are as grim as they were last year at this time.I'm so confused. How many hundreds of thousands of Americans have to die from something before we worry? I remember the good old days when a few thousand Americans dying on 9/11 was enough to spark a global crisis. 200 times as many Americans dying is no big deal now?
I will have to find the exact link but people who have been vaccinated and people who have been infected are still being uselessly tested. They find a viral colony stuck up someones nose and call it a case even though they are fine. Back on march 10 the CDC actually said only people exhibig symptoms and the most vulnerable should be the only ones tested but there was such an uproar they allowed politics to change what they said.Who?
I could argue it, but I don't believe they are. Is that the point, whether things are worse than a year ago? Having "absolutely nothing" to worry about seems like a different standard than that,She's talking about now, the impact of Delta coupled with half the country being immunized.

So some people in the midwest got the sniffles? How is that a national issue?

Delta strain of COVID-19 surges in Midwest, areas with low vax rates

Delta strain of COVID-19 surges in Midwest, areas with low vax rates
The highly contagious Delta strain of COVID-19 is surging in the Midwest and other areas with low vaccination rates, the White House said Thursday — as Dr. Anthony Fauci stressed that all three jabs available in the US protect against it.
The variant is soaring in “the Midwest and upper Mountain states,” where it now makes up 80 percent of cases, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a press briefing.
“This rapid rise is troubling,” she said, adding that the variant is now the most prevalent COVID-19 strain in the US.
====================================================================
I want it to selectively take out the anti-maskers & anti-vaxxers who are causing their own misery & infecting others. That will mean far fewer infected people giving it to others. And if I have the picture right. that has the added bonus of getting rid of the right-wing idiots who still support that jackass sociopath Trump.
That is the most outrageous, amoral and immoral message I've even seen on the forum - openly calling for the deaths of openly calling for the death of over 50% of American population - nearly 200,000,00 people and for the deaths of all Trump supporters as well.
Just one last point about why the positive test rate is meaningless. When you hear about all the people who had the vaccination testing positive(NY Yankees) there is a very good reason for it and it shows very clearly why way too much testing is being done. When they stick that swab up a nose it might pick up a viral colony in the nose. A vaccination can never stop that. It stops the virus if it invades the body. People who have been vaccinated or people who have already been infected have no reason to be continued to be tested.
Does JacksinPA want this to apply worldwide, wiping out probably 90+% non-white people on earth? Since they might sneak into the USA, the answer appears and obvious yes - calling for 6 billion to die.
Yeah, that's an exaggeration. But for a young, healthy woman who has been vaccinated, it's pretty much true for her. I certainly disagree that the unvaccinated 'don't have much to worry about,' because that includes a lot of people at high risk. However, according to tracking by the NYT, nationwide the death count is now averaging in the low hundreds as compared to the thousands who were dying per day a few months ago. The Delta variant is already the dominant type now, according to the CDC, so it may very well be good news, as Sarah says.I could argue it, but I don't believe they are.

Fair enough, nothing I disagree with there.Yeah, that's an exaggeration. But for a young, healthy woman who has been vaccinated, it's pretty much true for her.

Every death is one too many, especially since most are preventable, but things are looking up.

C'mon joko.President Biden's exact words while campaigning: "We (Democrats) will no longer accept facts."
Just because things are looking up doesn't mean we should not be vigilant. the Delta varient is more contagious, and for people who have not had the vaccine, more severe for many of the younger age groups. In addition, the benefits for at least the pfizer drops off more steeply for the delta variant after 6 months. .. although the risk of hospitalization only dropped from 98% protection to 93% protection. The need for a booster for it will drop down significantly if more people get vaccinated.Yeah, that's an exaggeration.
