| RaidenGarai 07/26/20 3:25:32 PM #362 | Mississippis Republican Governor Tate Reeves on why herd immunity isnt a good solution. 1) "Let's talk about herd immunity. I've listened to some people argue that the rapid spread of cases is a good thing, and we need to reach herd immunity in Mississippi and elsewhere to survive. I'm not a health care expert by any means, but I am a math guy. And I have thoughts:" 2) "The experts say we need 70-80% of the population to get COVID-19 to achieve herd immunity. Let's assume they're wrong (it's certainly possible, they have been before.) Let's assume they're being way overly cautious and we actually only need 40% infection for herd immunity." 3) "In Mississippi, our population is 3 million. We've had 36,680 cases so far. We'd need 1.2 MILLION infections to achieve that hypothetical 40% threshold. (Remember, experts say it's double that.)" 4) "Over the last two weeks, our hospital system has started to become stressed to the point of pain. We are seeing the early signs and effects of it becoming overwhelmed. We had to suspend elective surgeries again." 5) "On our worst day of new cases, we had just over 1,000. It has typically been between 700-900 during this most aggressive time. To get to 40% infections, we'd need 3,187 new cases every day for a full year from today. We would need to TRIPLE our worst day -- every day -- for a year." 6) "I'm not one of these guys that immediately dismisses any idea that challenges the expert status quo talking points. I'm pretty skeptical by nature. That's healthy. But herd immunity is not anything like a realistic solution in the short or mid-term. I wish it was." 7) "Unless you're willing to go without hospitals after a car wreck or heart attack, we need a different approach. Right now, despite mixed messages at the beginning, it seems like masks are the best bet. They're a hell of a lot better than widespread shut downs. Please wear one!" https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/15/politics/tate-reeves-mississippi-coronavirus-herd-immunity/index.html --- Epic Seven IGN ZeroThe13th |

| RaidenGarai 07/18/20 9:44:02 PM #153 | Corrik7 posted... Flu kills kids in way greater force.I don't give a fuck. It's still the death of a child. Try to put yourself in the shoes of those parents who have sick kids now, or the ones that just lost their child. Think about what they're going through right now. They're not sitting there thinking "oh, well the flu kills more kids, so the coronavirus isn't that bad." They're not thinking about how the death rates among children of that age are lower. They're burying their fucking child, and trying to figure out how to navigate the rest of their lives wondering if they could have done something different. That's something they'll be haunted by until the day they die. --- Epic Seven IGN ZeroThe13th |

I mean, the reporting a few days (a week?) ago was that the administration's plan is literally to just hope people get numb to the steadily rising case and death counts so yeah.Pretty much. The funny part is that the thing most likely to help Trumps slim re-election hopes right now would be for him to do what he should have done from the beginning, and try to navigate the country through this. But that would involve him admitting that he was wrong, and hell never do that. --- Epic Seven IGN ZeroThe13th |

| RaidenGarai 07/17/20 12:36:00 PM #174 | Exactly, Trump doesnt give a fuck about the people. He wants his big crowds at rallies to satisfy his fragile ego. His administration has lied about pretty much everything, including things they didnt need to lie about. Why would they suddenly start telling the truth now? I hope everyones ready for a bunch of alternative facts that start showing this isnt a big deal, Trump actually led the country in our time of need, schools and the economy can reopen safely, and that we handled this better than any country in the world! Who cares if this ends up killing a few hundred thousand people? Who cares if children lose their parents, grandparents, or end up with lifelong health issues? Thats better than Trump having to admit he was wrong about something. This administration is a fucking joke. --- Epic Seven IGN ZeroThe13th |

College football can't really do that.He doesnt want a political answer here because he already knows it, but doesnt want to admit it.

We were one of the states who were handling this best at the start, and then those fucking morons stepped in and overturned everything Evers did because they don't give a fuck about anything or anybody but themselves. There was a big flea market here two weeks ago an an old parking lot for a grocery store/Shopko that went out of business, and it was packed. Shoulder to shoulder. Hardly anybody wearing masks. I wore a mask in to pick up a carry out order from a local restaurant, and people looked at me like I was an alien.
