    So you are telling me that you have no idea that there's a HIGHLY contagious disease and it has been proven, beyond a doubt, like gravity, that close contact is where this disease thrives? Seriously?

    Oh you mean that one with the really low death rate? The one where over 80% of the people have zero effect from? The one that kills mainly the elderly and people with underlying conditions? Yeah that is exactly like a auto accident which has all those same parameters.

    You are missing a very critical data point. The more contact you have, the more likely you are to die a horrible death. Sigh. Not getting further into it. People who hate science should get off their computers and smart phones, all created 'cause, SCIENCE.

    Stay home then, it's scary out here in the real world. Under you bed is the safest place to be.

    While you hide I'll be out in the real world daily, just like I have been every day before and since this thing started.

    I'm kind of proud of you though, at least you did not craw back in the womb after being born and seeing the scary world. Might be hope for you after all. :)

    The highest estimate that I have seen for asymptomatic is around 40% and the consensus is closer to 25%, so I don't know where you get 80%.

    As for the really low death rate, that is ironically one of the reasons why this virus is so dangerous. The virus is so contagious and juuust deadly enough without being too deadly so that it can spread and keep spreading.

    Also, an auto accident is not contagious so that's just a ****ing dumb analogy.

    Me, me, me, me, me..... That seems to be how the typical Trump fan thinks.

    Attending a rally to elevate Trump's ego is now called "being part of something larger"? It's not like these attendees are rallying for a good cause.

    And it was way overblown, the lock down was wrong, during a epidemic you don't isolate the healthy, you isolate the sick. By isolating everyone you make things worse due to a combination of people being close to each other during a lock down and the economic damage it does to people.

    We at 475,000 dead yet like you predicted?

    Let the adults run this now, the children on the left had their day and all they did was over react and try and destroy the economy.

    During a pandemic, you absolutely isolate everyone - including the healthy - because the people who are healthy today will turn into the sick tomorrow. And if the virus spreads too quickly, then the sick will turn into the dead.

    Incorrect, you isolate the sick, not the healthy, doing so spreads the virus which has already been proven to happen.

    Do you know of any infectious disease expert that agrees with you? That you should only isolate the sick?

    That has been decided by the COVID-19 Task Force who declared the isolation of everyone a gross error that will not be repeated.

    The phrase "new normal" was coined by the media in February. That strongly suggests that it was leaked from a script.

    This goes beyond uninformed into an outright lie.
    Gathering of over 50 people have been banned, secondary schools and colleges have been closed down. Social distancing measures are in place. I've provided a link to a right-wing source (for your benefit) to back this up and can keep providing sources if required. These are all examples of a new normal and your posts have gone from ignorant to deliberately dishonest. Please stop, spreading this lie puts people's lives at risk.

    There is no need for a vaccine.

    The shutdown was unnecessary.

    Evidence? Economic shutdowns do not stop viruses.

    The numbers are massively inflated to scare people. Do you even personally know anyone who has contracted it? Did they die?

    Sunlight kills covid, along with immune systems. Get out in the sun a bit, stop stressing your immune system so it can do its job better, and enjoy life, eh? ;)

    More so when there is a possibility COVAD-19 may mutate into something the vaccine will have no effect on.

    Care to explain why there is no need for a vaccine for a disease that has contributed to the deaths of almost half a million people in around 3 months?

    A lot of COVID-19 deaths are people who passed and tested positive from COVID-19 even if COVID-19 was not the cause of death.
