    Huh? Republicans can't help fight this because the fringe on the left are idiots?

    That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    It has nothing to do with Republicans, it is policies promoted by Democrats.
    The policies that create a sense of compromised safety among general public.
    Essentially people suspect a new hoax so they will never follow advises that are coming from lefties.

    I believe we can if we want to save ourselves. If there are those out there that can't, won't and don't, then there will be problems and it isn't that we can't but we must and will if we want to save the earth from COVID-19. If not, for some bad reasons, We can pull together if could just get along with the leftists and rightists and inbetweeners. There isn't time to hate those that we need to help. Simple as that.

    You're right. Anthony Fauci said we must pull together and means it.

    Testing is “still not completely fixed” across the entire nation, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday.

    “The other thing that's a problem — still not completely fixed, but fixed in many areas of the country, but not all — is the delay between the time you do the test and you get the result back,” he said during a Tuesday town hall with Healthline.com.

    If tests results take “five to seven days, it almost obviates the purpose of contact tracing, because that means somebody was out there for five to seven days potentially spreading the infection,” he said.

    “We are correcting that — we're trying hard and we are correcting it in many areas," Fauci said.

    But clear and fast results are needed to calculate an important metric: percent positivity.

    “You look at New York City right now it's less than 1%. That's what you want the whole country to be,” he said.

    “There are parts of the country where it's 15, 18, 20% — that's really high,” he said. “The percent of your tests that you do that are actually positive it's got to be a very low number,” he said.

    There are at least 5,505,074 cases of coronavirus in the US, and at least 172,418 people have died from the virus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.On Wednesday at 1:45 p.m. ET, Johns Hopkins has reported 22,658 new cases and 597 reported deaths. The totals include cases from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and other US territories, as well as repatriated cases. There are the facts and no sugar coating involved. Keep your distance six feet, keep your hands clean, the masks stay on, stay home whenever possible. Simple as that.

    The nation's leading infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said health care professionals need to continue to “make recommendations and policy based on data and evidence.”

    “Speculations, anecdotal, those kinds of opinions, really need to be put aside,” he said while speaking during a George Washington University webinar on Wednesday.

    “Everything that we are talking about in the arena of public health, any intervention, it could be a diagnostic, a vaccine, a therapy – it has to be made on the basis of sound scientific data and evidence.”
    Fauci said he and his public health colleagues do this every day, holding true to their ethical principles.

    "You don't change your ethics because of the situation you are in," he said. "There are certain things that are constant; science, data and really good evidence are constant," he said.

    "If the situation changes, the data may change and you make your decisions. What doesn't change are ethical principles. They are clear and immutable."

    Those are the facts. We need to come together whether want to or not. It's important that we must and will pull together and have the obligation to do so
    Don't blame the Democrats on this on the Republicans, You can blame Trump for leading us into a fantasyland of Wishful Thinking and that's all it is. Sometimes Wishful Thinking can get a pereon in trouble and won't realize it until it's too late. Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and many of the Governors are encouraging us to get with the program and do what's right. If we do our part, We may defeat the Coronavirus and it will work if we all pull together. Simple as that.

    The easiest thing is the use of an already approved drug:

    Australian radio interviewed Professor Thomas Borody, from the Centre for Digestive Diseases about Ivermectin-based therapies for COVID-19.

    We came up with a treatment that is simple, safe, and can get rid of the coronavirus in almost all patients treated within 6 to 10 days.”

    “It can treat and get rid, within 6 to 10 days, of the coronavirus”

    “It is an easy, very easy virus to cure, when you combine the dosage we have described, because it inhibits the growth of the bug. It just goes away, and you no longer can find it in an infected person.” ...

    “The trials that I know of … have been done in places where there are a lot of coronavirus patients…”

    “In Bangladesh, 60 out of 60 were cured.“

    Scroll down and listen to this 12 minute interview:

    COVID-19 is hitting the homeless and exposed real hard and it hitting hard on many minorities that cannot afford food staples. Think about that. there is a mother that is unemployed, her husband possibly an illegal alien and programs shut down and stuck with a couple of pre school children and having them home all day long, saying ‘Mommy I’m hungry, Mommy I’m hungry,’" and you wonder‘What does she do now?’" Can you find an answer to this?

    The most effective way to defeat the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is to do what we're told to do. Distance yourselves 6 feet from each other, Wear the face masks when out in public, wash hands for 20 seconds and/or use hand sanitizer, Quarantine yourselves if you don't need to go out. What is so simple as that? Do I need to remind some of you of this? Someone need to remind us all of it. I might mention it again.

    It is not going to help. The masks and distancing might delay inevitable for several weeks may be, but eventually 70% of people will be infected.

    We can do better than that.
    Right if Trump has his way with things.

    That delay has saved thousands of people from dying due to allowing time for better ways of treating infected people to be found. That delay has also given more time to allow a vaccine to be found.

    When I posted this, I realize that there are those that don't and won't want to do it and that also goes to Donald Trump because he doesn't favor masks and leads us to the fantasyland of wishful thinking. I was hoping we'd be done with it by now and there are those in the thousands that are dying from it every day and it was getting to me and much as it would you. If you were offended by this, I'm sorry but something has to be done and I pray that this pandemic will end or have control where many of us won't be dying every day. Thank you.

    The incident happening in Northern California. Something like this can happen elsewhere. There are children that are asking Mommy I'm Hungry and Mommy and Daddy don't know what to do because they can't go to the grocery store because no job and the risk of getting sick of the COVID-19 and dying. Think about that.

    It also means ruined economies, increased suicide rates, severe depressions that will eventually sums up to the highest "non covid" death rate in history. Of course, they will put those people on the COVID-19 list and blame virus.

    So Mom and Dad are unemployed, which means in addition to State unemployment benefits, they each received an extra $600 per week. What did they do with that money? Have they applied for SNAP? Or WIC, if qualified? Perhaps a food pantry?

    While there are limited amounts of people who truly cannot feed themselves or their families, using 'The Children' as the basis for any coloration on this (or any other) incident is strictly for the emotional tug, and doesn't breach reality.

    It's not coming from the welfare office or anywhere else. I'd like to know where the $600 each week is coming from.
