One guys op-ed on why he is waiting to get the vaccination applies to all? Bit of a stretch. . I would say some are a little leary of a vaccine that was created in nine months, when they are used to seeing vaccines normally take years.

BDK was talking like all the people choosing not to get the virus, were chick-littles. My post contradicted it by showing another reason.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:47 pmIf there is more context to your post, I'm not seeing it. I don't follow this thread too closely.

Lost a great guy to COVID that was in my golfing group of friends back in Virginia on Sunday. He was a Saluki, in his late 60's, and was a long time smoker.

No more major holidays, start working through winter and then into the spring, continue to pick up the vaccination numbers, and yes, hopefully this is the final drive towards all of this ending.

Not to mention cold and flu season will be ending in about a month, so seasonality will help play a factor as well.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Yep. Peak was projected by some in mid-late February but if these trends continue that will be a welcome advance of schedule. Caution for holiday weekend effects on the numbers and we still need to get down to the 10,000 new cases per day range but I’ll take any positive news.
Somewhat normal by the end of this year. Masks, voluntary social distancing, and high vaccination rates will speed up the process and reduce lockdowns.
Still need massive and continued stimulus especially for the unemployed and food and bar industries.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
What would the deaths have been without lockdowns? How do those rates stack up against other countries with more compliance or restrictions?
It’s killed 400,000 + WITH limited social distancing. How does a 13,000 increase (while significant) justify less restrictions?

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I found many google searches on people with covid, dying at home. So this is actual evidence that the Covid numbers are low.kalm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 11:03 amWhat would the deaths have been without lockdowns?

We really don’t have much of a choice and if you use that argument now, where were you on these issues before?

The data also includes deaths attributed to pneumonia or influenza. According to the CDC, deaths caused by COVID-19 might be misclassified as pneumonia or influenza deaths in the death certificates. For that reason, the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 is likely higher than the confirmed data indicates. It is also higher than the daily counts USAFacts compiles from state and local sources.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
From several relief bills, and many trillions and trillions ago.

I've been saying it every time we've had one of these relief bills. How many have we had now, and for how many trillions? I lost count.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Hopefully Biden has something faster than warp speed, to get the vaccine circulated. Then we can open up business, sports events, bars and restaurants to full capacity, sooner rather than later.
