it 100% will.

The numbers to focus on are hospitalizations and ventilator use, which is what Texas is going off of with their reopening plan. Cases will increase, but we've shown that we have the capacity at our hospitals to deal with the severe cases.

The second wave of the Spanish Flu was a bizarre anomaly where one mutation got wholesale spread die to troop movement from World War I. The 1918 Spanish flu virus eventually faded into the seasonal H1N1 flu."

The fact that people are so triggered by this is kind of amusing.

If we increase testing like they say we have to it will.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

Cases will increase if you increase testing when the majority of people are asymptomatic.

People are dumb if you don’t believe this virus was present before media/world decided to freak out about it.

It's not triggered. It's that it is absolutely unnecessary and ridiculous. It's like if they came out with a study that you need to wear a hat made of tin foil to disrupt alien radio signals to your brain. That's about how I view it.

I wouldn't consider it an anomaly. It's just a good example of how you can't just throw open the barn doors and let everyone out without any kind of restriction. What did them in was removing all restrictions and having huge mass gatherings (parades for those returning from War) on top of troops bringing mutations home.

The phased plan released by the White House and supported by several Governors makes the most sense to avoid overwhelming hospitals.

Sure it is. It's not uncommon for masks to be worn in other countries when they have flare ups of respiratory diseases to reduce spread.

You have multiple studies that say it can reduce spread more so than not wearing anything at all. It's not as good as medical grade masks, which I'd be more than happy to switch to when they become available.

And they've already come up with a "gotcha!" about Trump with the disinfectant thing. That'll give the late night talk show hosts a cheap punchline to use for the next year.

Or they could get the virus, avoid visiting grandma for a while, then recover and visit grandma as much as they want. The other alternative is just to never see grandma up close ever again

Triggered is something that brings up deep emotions, like a gay person being ridiculed for being gay or a black person being subjected to an active racist act. You're trying too hard to stay hip with the lingo. That doesn't bring up deep emotions for me. It's just something that irritates me.

For one, there may already be a large number that have built the antibodies.

The antibodies do nothing. Large numbers of people have become reinfected after having covid-19 per WHO and CDC.

Things won't change until a vaccine is widely available.

Yeah, but they came back the next day and said this isn't exactly what they meant.

It will, but that isn't the point. The point is that it is acceptable risk to get the country running again.

Pretty sure it does mean that, according to the Federal guidelines.

Trump got scammed and we all got screwed.
