Until we have zero cases I guess we will all just have to make the personal sacrifices and live with Revolutionary Communism. Otherwise the Bad Orange Man wins.

Any idea how long it will take to reach this mythical herd immunity if at all?

Get a clue.

At this point, with such incredibly stubborn mindsets, the governor just needs to make it mandatory to save the insecure amongst us the embarrassment of CHOOSING to wear a mask. Make it the law and you won’t have to be embarrassed

Achieving herd immunity with low mortality is a great thing.
Yes it would. However, we read that people who had covid, had it a second time (which is a requisite for herd immunity). That does not happen when you develop antibodies that prevent the disease a second time. Secondly,there is no vaccine at this point. We are nowhere near herd immunity at this point. Down vote all you want but facts are facts. I want this crap over as much as anyone but we are nowhere near herd immunity in my opinion. Fauci can go the way of the Edsel as far as I am concerned but the spikes are troubling. Misdirected at early opening and probably should be attributed to the riots but that's just me. Plus, I am nowhere near advocating another shut down.

Sure, but Continued spreading all summer means we may not have Fall sports like football.

just so you know, that report" comes directly from physicians caring for the patients.



And TMC’s ICU usage dropped from 100 to 97% on Monday...

TMC can almost triple the amount of beds if needed. They haven’t even started to use the 1st phase of their ramp up yet.

They adjusted their utilization down to 73 percent when abbot cancelled elective procedures.

When it hit their wallet, all of a sudden fear mongering was much less en vogue

States Ordered To Fraudulently Inflate COVID-19 Cases
CDC once again moves the goalposts and increases the score points per diagnosis from one to 15 or more. Then the public wonders why the increase in cases -- IT IS FRAUD!

No. What we’ve read is that people who tested positive for Covid and were assumed to have recovered later tested positive again.

That tells us almost nothing. Was the initial test a false positive? Was the second test a false positive? Did they not recover? Were they reinfected?

Even with the other coronaviruses, a person usually has acquired immunity for several months to the same strain. It’s unlikely the new Coronavirus is significantly different from that baseline.

OK. So when do we reach herd immunity?

There is no Spike. We always knew there were more cases than we had positive tests.

Only in MSM world does finding what you knew was there classified as news.

Maybe never.
That’s the same answer to the question, “when do we get a vaccine?”

Well since my company has seen fit to state they are waiting for a vaccine before ending work from home orders.


Thats fine with me.

30 days after we achieve herd immunity to Covid 19's cousin, the common cold.

Just so you'll know, Dallas Austin and Houston ICU's are suddenly full to overfilled.


maybe they are tired of not making money, so they are admitting anyone with a pulse so they can rake in the money they are losing b/c the governor in Texas is an idiot.

ICU's are supposed to be close to full. It's how hospital's make money. Just like restaurant's are supposed to be full. It's how they make money.
