You know leadership stuff.

That's somewhat true when you know what your dealing with. In the military we have Intel and country studies and plans long before we engage an enemy. In talking about this disease it would be impossible to even make a complete plan for every possible bug. Every bug is somewhat different. Their modality of infection may be different...ie is it airborne, surface contact etc. What systems in the body do they effect, what age groups are in danger, how long is someone sick for, how long is somebody contagious, can we even develop a test to detect the bug, how do you validate those test, who can manufacture the test and in what quantities. What are any mitigation steps that can be taken...these are but a few of the unknowns for EVERY disease/virus or bacteria. In otherwords you will ALWAYS be playing catch up. With multiple countries around the world testing different, testing different therapies, false information, corrupt politicians and a financial incentive to lie about Corona cases I would LOVE to hear your master plan. We have all kinds of fantastic capabilities in this country, but unfortunately many of the questions I laid out just take time, sometimes weeks or months just to understand what we are dealing with, much less combat it. In less than 6 months most of these questions have been answered, we export ventilators, less people are dying, therapies are beginning to show promise, we have 2 phase 3 trials of a vaccine, the Oxford one is showing 100% efficacy so far and we have already paid for 300 million dosages (that are in active manufacture by the way) potentially by the muddle to late fall. On the whole I think weve done pretty damn good. I for one dont fault Trump or anyone in the govt, other than trying to provide information perhaps a bit to quick before they had the complete answer. There definitely needs to be a hotwash following this insanity. We definitely need a more comprehensive way of dealing with this in the future, but we will have to deal with the sticky idea of federalism and state vs federal responsibility and scope.

C'mon, any chance this thread can remain nonpolitical? Kidding, it's like wrestlemania.

Except I’ve seen the letter, and was witness to her leaving early. But whatever, believe what you want.

“Had the CDC used its industry standard, Medical Examiners’ and Coroners’ Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting Revision 2003, as it has for all other causes of death for the last 17 years, the COVID-19 fatality count would be approximately 90.2% lower than it currently is.“ https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...9eHJ_uf7T9MmWI As for the cases. I have heard the same from 3 different people. On top of that we are now counting “assumed positives” as positive cases. In Texas there is no limit to how many one actual positive case could turn into numerous assumed positives with others. With how inacurrate the test is we could theoretically see tens of thousands of “positive cases” and there not even be any. None of our data means anything. It’s all nonsense. But the media acts like it’s honest data.

What the heck is going on?

Guess it's time to send some emails to congress people.
this “news shot” has been sent all around social media for the last few weeks. move on - fake news!

Oh yeah now it's an anti-vaxing thread! A sheriff's nurse friend said vaccines cause ants.

anti vaccination website or not, the operative question is, are they correct? While I would concede I don't agree with the anti vaccination stance, sometimes people I disagree with are correct with their positions. At this point it shouldn't be disputed that there are defintely irregularities with how covid cases are being counted. Over counting can be just as bad as under counting.
