Corona Virus Update

They're doing it in British Columbia.

 

Hmm. I have 93,000 in the end of month pool.
It may blow thru that.

 

How so? Anyone can isolate themselves from it given sufficient notice and resources. You would assume that immediate staff of world leaders would have both.

 

You'll need to ask him that question.

 

What happens when the lockdown is over ???

 

Not BS. That's from the CDC site.

 

British Columbia is reopening mid May, and within a couple weeks, their last 15 cases, "the final 15" as I call them, is going to be down to close to zero.

 

Just so we're clear:
You don't mind tearing up the constitution if you deem a crisis "severe" enough.
Right?

Have you criticized the governors for not handling the virus in their states the way SK did?

 

There was no lockdown in British Columbia. The government there has shut down businesses that in their present form spread COVID-19: cruise ships, movie theaters, restaurants (dine in), hair salons, barbers, etc. They're now in the process of opening them up with PPE and social distancing. Public schools are open for the children of first responders and will soon open for all in stages, high school students last, as long as the virus remains under control.

 

It's going to dissapear

 

Get ready for all manner of old, gay, celebrity men to start dying "from complications related to COVID19" as time goes on, especially while it's still politically expedient and fashionable to do so.

 

Not my country, so can't comment on that. All I can say is that standing on principles while your house is burning down around you, is insanity. Would you prevent firefighters breaking your upstairs windows to rescue your dog, because breaking windows is illegal?

 

Would you have litigated your way through WW2? Farmers in Washington at Hanford and White Bluffs (and a few Native Americans) were evicted from their land in 30 days, no appeal. Hanford made the first atomic bomb set off in July 1945 and the bomb used on Nagasaki. The Constitution gave government the right to do that.

They drafted men into the armed forces. They told manufacturers what to produce. They bought goods for the military and rationed items at home.

 

The government has always had the authority to respond to emergencies. You are talking rw anarchist nonsense.

If the rw hadn't gone completely over the edge, everyone would realize that this is inline with the primary role of governments. You need someone to manage a crisis like this. You can't leave it up to the whims of joe sixpack.

 

That isn't what it says.

 

You may have to look it to hit 100,000 if it hasn't already

 

Dunno, protesting or litigating sure didn't work against the Democrats for Korematsu and all those victims then, did it? But strikingly similar to the present day and Korematsu is already turning up in briefs I've seen. There will be MANY more. Ouchie. What are the odds we'd have interment camps or the equivalent now during Covid with a Democrat POTUS? Hmmm?

The above, for those with more than a gnat's wing understanding of history and law, is perfectly legal and moral, only an ignorant person would try to correlate the above to the Viral Moral Panic of 2020. ~410k casualties from WW2 in a far less populous U.S. at the time? What deaths per 100k then? No idea, MUCH more though. Then the fact that those deaths weren't old and comorbid, but youthful and with their whole lives ahead of them. But maybe we should have spent another few hundred thousand young American lives island hopping through Japan to the bitter end? Leftist historical revision fails, always a laff riot.

Comparison to the Viral Moral Panic is not only in very poor taste and discounts U.S. Veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice, but a plain -dumb- and inapt comparison to boot.

 

100,000 maybe soon and 200,000 later and so on

 

Non sequitur.

If we follow your approach, we could easily have more deaths per 100,000 people than we lost in battle in WW2.

The U.S. has 139,900,000 people in 1945. WW2 cost us 405,000 dead in 3 2/3 years. If COVID-19 deaths reach 951,852, we'll have lost as many per capita.

405,000 / 139,900,000 = X / 328,800,000 ... X = 951,852​

Your approach could easily cost us 1m people.

Huh? A Democratic President developed and another Democratic government dropped the atomic bombs on Japan.

More people per capita could die in the COVID-19 pandemic than GIs died in WW2. The folks today may be mostly old and expendable in your eyes, but they're someone's loved one and folks aren't ready to see them off.

Uh huh. Everyone who wants to protect their mom on Mother's Day is "dumb."

 

We could lose a lot more if we open up the economy too soon.

 

It's not there yet, but we'll sail past 100,000 soon.

 

The new fashions for summer are out

 

Don't blame you for the failed dodge attempt. I wouldn't want to be on the same side of the WW2 Democrat policy of interment of Japanese U.S. citizens either, yet here you are again! ROFL. Get used to the name "Korematsu," you'll be hearing it lots.

How many "pulled that right out of your ass" awards are you bucking for this week? You usually "win" at least a couple per week. Impressive.

...

 

Looking at it, it seems that there is still no end In sight.

Opening the economy is a risky thing. There is still the possibility the hospitals will be at full capacity again and some will have to be sacrificed for those that will survive the Coronavirus pandemic such as it is. It could come to the survival of the fittest, or only the strong will survive. There will be no exceptions. None whatsoever.
