    Meanwhile, over in Sweden ‘the scientists say’ they are very optimistic Sweden is on their way to Herd Immunity—
    and instead of our media celebrating the mere prospect of that, they try and tamp it down.

    Sweden did everything ‘wrong’ yet their per capita death toll is roughly the same as Italy’s; Italy did a hard lockdown and Sweden didn’t.

    Schools and colleges should not only be open but be wide open because young people would provide the bulwark for herd immunity: this is the population that can ‘safely’ get COVID and recover. All the statistics bear that out.

    Are they just looking for a new angle? Folks seem burned out on corona. I had to go three pages deep before I saw a story on my news site this morning. Neither side it talking to the other side of the debate anymore, they are just talking to their believers. People are entrenched and nothing is going to dig em out.

    No, our policy response is entrenched.

    We are locked into lockdown mode and excluding everything else. Trump did the right thing and brought an advisor in from Stanford who is against lockdowns.

    Better late than never.

    The only question is how long.

    Self-induced recession. How retarded can people get?

    Actually imposed by elected officials, which is very bad..

    Ooo..ewww, I gotta research local candidates and make up a cheat sheet..Yuck!

    Everyone should do it, though. It's a bit of work, but vetting local politicians affects you more directly than national ones.

    There is nothing artificial about this recession and it’s going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

    We’ve been witnessing it practically the whole year lol.

    But yeah, there’s never been an instance where the country *purposely and intentionally* put a booming economy into a recession.

    The health of the economy prior to the onset of madness is grounds for some optimism, imo.

    Six different strains of Covid-19 have been identified. Need I say more?

    Tied for the worst in Europe in other words. Italy did its lockdown too late to stop the virus in its tracks. Like New York, the virus spread there before steps were taken to control the outbreak.
