Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[rjd970]

question for the board related to the video above:

Is Fauci's goal zero C19 deaths in America before he will promote a return to normal pre Covid?

Part of the frustration is he won’t give a metric threshold or set of metric thresholds that indicates it’s over. Neither will the bro’s on here either.

Nobody wants to put that mark on the wall because that puts a timeline on this thing and they will actually have to defend why that is reasonable.

It’s pathetic, really.

Florida's DeSantis calls out CDC for holding cruise industry 'hostage'

How can you require something that hasn't even been approved by the FDA? They also don't differentiate between adults and children who aren't even eligible. Just another nonsense benchmark in the fantasy covid world

By the time this works it's way through the courts it will be mute.

You want to talk about long Covid, here's one of many things that's going to haunt us for years to come.

Why do conservatives hate science? Why do conservatives hate Fauci?

First, I don't hate Fauci, I just no longer trust him. What he says and "science" don't always match up.

This literally happened in my family.

Mine too. Three weeks from diagnosis and she's gone. Waited months through pain until it was too much despite my wife and I pressing. Still kind of bitter about it. Healthcare showed their ass during this.

In all sincerity, that's tough to read. Condolences for your loss.

Sorry man.

Mine just had major surgery. Perhaps could have been avoided if caught earlier. Kept putting off appointment because of pressure from people to not go out..

Yea, I've got an unhealthy need to reply to even the most pointless posts. It's definitely a character flaw.

Luther has a flaw.

Who knew.

You cheeky, little monkey.

 

[BeecherVol]

I think Fauci is preparing for a career in politics.

I cut him some slack early on. There was a lot that no one really knew.

Thats not as much the case anymore.

 

[BeecherVol]

Yeah Biden is old too, but he's already had/has a career in politics.

Weezer thinks Fauci is still "planning" one. At age 80.

Don't think hes aiming at political seat but it wouldn't be hard to convince me he isn't playing "political games" for his own gain.

In which case hes basically a politician without a seat.

We all do, it's just that on the flaws continuum my position is........................

No, I figured that once a truant what's a few dozen more days going to hurt.

Quitter! I had perfect attendance all three years in 5th grade. Never give up, hog!

I just wanted to say I love hearing about your relatives and their paranoia. It's mind blowing. I mean, I wish you had your family back to normal if possible, but their craziness is really interesting.

I feel bad for my wife and her parents. It's like her brother has a mental condition now. His wife is definitely driving the bus on the crazy part but he's basically Stockholm syndromed into agreeing with her. He's much smarter than her too which is wild. His job deals daily with quantifying risk and expected values yet they're living like the entire world is radioactive. Our nephew has one child he's allowed to play with (because the parents share "similiar values") and they make the kids wear ****ing masks in the yard together. It's sad. I just don't understand how people who were all about "the science" can now dismiss the same science they worshipped six months ago. I feel like making any concessions to them is no different than letting your alcoholic brother have some beers at the family get together as long as he does it in the garage or something. I'm not enabling the behavior, they need to accept reality.

Why do conservatives hate science? Why do conservatives hate Fauci?

in this thread it's liberals that continually ignore science.

The Liberals Who Can’t Quit Lockdown

This is why you people don't have nice things.

From the Mayor of Somerville….
“No one wanted to get kids back to school more than me … It’s people needing to feel safe,” he said. “We want to make sure that we’re eliminating any risk of transmission from person to person in schools and carrying that risk over to the community.”

Feelings and zero risk. Crazy.

Dr. Fauci spouting Science™

Double Masking ‘Makes Common Sense,’ Fauci Says

“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Let's parse that statement: 1) he cites no studies, no data, no evidence that double masking is more effective; instead he relies on "common sense". 2) he says it's "likely" it would be more effective.

He's suggesting policy based on what his common sense tells him is likely to be more effective.

The question here is why does Dr. Fauci hate science...
