re: Serious question to those who feel this is being overblown

If it’s as bad as being portrayed in the media, and hospital personnel are overwhelmed and letting people go via DNR, my assumption is the hydrochloroquine products would be tried in large numbers. Why not, if you’re letting these people die anyway?
Curing the problem is not a solution because the disease might have political side effects that are desirable to some.
Marxism by hook or by crook.

If it’s so contagious and we’re in lockdown, then when one family member gets it, how does the whole family not get it?
It seems to me, having everyone holed up is making it more dangerous. People are ALL going to the same grocery stores etc
Seems are current plan is worse.
Also, why do we not have any more stats on hydro/zpac results?

quote:con, even the cdc is backing off their original hysteria. clearly, i'm right. plenty of drs are publicly stating chloroquine is promising yet dem govs who are getting "advice" from "experts" are banning it. you are wrong. economic factors should be taken into consideration as has been explained itt already
We disagree on this point

I used Italy because they are about 2-3 week ahead of the States and a lot of other places in terms of when the virus really began to spread and take hold. Over 12k have died in 30 days in Italy
so you're just basically repeating an already refuted point. got it.
How was that refuted, exactly?
I have no idea what the Covid rates will be 6 months from now. I suspect if we did basically nothing, like we did with H1N1, we would have more than 20 million cases 6 months in, and FAR more deaths.
I'm failing to see how people still aren't taking this seriously.

Hm, because you haven't solved anything.
Either, the virus is not near saturation and the virus will be back probably around flu season and still infect the vast majority of people, or there is a massive silent infection rate saturation point could be near. Either way, the current actions have done little to help, and could actually hurt.
The vast majority of people are going to get this, in the days, weeks, months or years ahead.
Its a serious bug but the whole thing is beyond stupid, unless the goal is to frick the world.
On average 7,700+ Americans die a day. The supposedly hardest country hit i.e. Italy... the average male that died of this was 79, the life expectancy in Italy for a male is 80.
I would say less over all impact than the flu, as most people don't have symptoms or very mild symptoms. For particular age groups with pre-existing conditions - more serious for sure but they're at the end of the cycle anyway.
