The increase of incompetence in America is proving very expensive with this crisis, in cost and livelihood.

I read Covid 19 is doing more than impacting the past and present, it's now impacting the future. For the last few months it was said that kids were not in the crosshairs and this virus impacted the elderly and high risk. Now, that may not be the case. I don't understand how that narrative was pushed, it was just a matter of time.

I posted a link to a video from a doctor in this thread, way back, when this thing first got started that explained how the virus works. It's process. It's got "50 ways to leave your lover". It isn't just the flu. That it's taking children is in it's DNA...literally. I saw that story on the local news tonight.

It's not a narrative; it's the scientific method. When you're trying to figure out something brand new that no one's ever seen before, you formulate a hypothesis based on whatever info is available. If you get new data that contradicts that hypothesis, junk it and propose a new one based on the new evidence.

What was meant by narrative was the virus primarily impacted humans as we knew it, which would include kids. In the early months around Spring break time, it was socialized kids were somewhat bulletproof. That was another mistake.

How many of the people, that think its fake, suit up in full protective gear, go into a hospital room, and try to save someones life who is dying of covid-19?

They are the people who blow their noses in other peoples shirts, or spit on them, or pull a gun on people, or shoot them, for something simple like being asked to wear a mask when entering private premises.

One of the states that was thought to be a hot spot wasn’t. It was Florida. Remember the spring breakers? The governor targeted the elderly for protection. Why? They’re the most vulnerable. That’s the model I’d follow. Instead they say how wonderful the governor of New York is. Really? His is the last model I’d follow.

Some of those spring breakers caught it and brought it back to their states. Certainly not as bad as people thought it would be. I definitely wouldn't follow the NYC model for somewhere with a less dense population. Different models for different scenarios. I haven't heard anything about Georgia yet, but I suppose it's too soon to know.

What bothers me most is that people just don't wanna follow the guidelines. I've got a beautiful park near me that is closed because that towns residents can't seem to follow social distancing guidelines and now their C-19 numbers are spiking again.

Cuomo's nursing home policy has cost a lot of elderly lives in New York. Same thing is happening in MN. 534 deaths, 434 of them in nursing homes. How is this obvious question not being asked. If the governments still have large groups of elderly dying in nursing homes during lock down for 2 months, than how could anyone argue that lock downs have done anything whatsoever for anybody. More evidence that this is a gigantic hoax.

My grandparents' nursing home is in lockdown and, as far as I know, no one there has died of COVID-19. There must be some other factor at play in NY and MN.

So some doctors or scientists made a mistake while they were trying to understand a brand new virus that no one has ever seen before. We're human; get over it.

From what I’m reading. Warm and humid weather no problem. Kills the bug in seconds.

Yes actually there is, Cuomo and the MN governor alike had exec order that said nursing home patients testing positive must be put back in nursing homes, effectively bringing the virus into the facility and killing old people by the dozens. This has been a story all week, but to no surprise its not seen on CNN or MSNBC.
