Conspiracy theories = well known facts about the limitations of PCR testing.

How many times can you go to that well before it runs dry. :D
Why go elsewhere when that well is full of opinions, loose facts, and non-science? :kisswink:
:lol: Nice try. I will admit there are plenty of opinions, as there should be. Very few lock solid answers in the biological sciences.

Just a reminder of what a dope we had a President during the past four years:

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Hey SD, good to see Newsome says you can your house now.

If you were on this board claiming for the past 10 months that the politicians were only looking after our best interests and that shutting down and locking down were legit alternatives to "stopping the spread" (despite MOUNDS of evidence to the contrary), you should just go ahead and ban yourself.

It's now been made PAINFULLY obvious the shutdowns were ONLY a political tool to oust Trump from office (as anyone with a brainstem has said all along). The three biggest mouthpieces for locking down (Newsom, Cuomo and the Chicago Mayor) have ALL done complete 180's on lockdowns now that Trump has been defeated...but not before completely destroying their states' economies, and then awaiting the promised bailout from the Feds once Biden got elected.

If you weren't smart enough to see through that bullshit you should stay out of the deep end of these conversations--forever.

I'd love to see some stats and an apples-to-apples comparison on infections, hospitalizations and deaths by state over the last 3-6 months to see if things are really that much better to justify the sudden change in reducing restrictions in Donk runs states.

*role

Like it or not, other countries take their cue from America.

And I never said everything (yet) was opened back up. But when the biggest opponents of opening things up all (within days of each other) do 180's, that doesn't peak your interest? Or make you look askance at the whole process?

At this point, only dumbasses listen to him. Aside from athletic and entertainment events, the SD household have been back in the norm for a long time. Seeing friends, family, etc. We've been cautions but still get out. Biggest impact to us was having the kid's activities shut down, but that opened back up a few months ago and have stayed open.

Can't make this up.

Pasco, WA teachers union president calls reopening schools tantamount to white supremacy.

Really? Seems the groups suffering the most are minorities. If it were really racist, you'd keep them closed forever.

Per woldometer, CA cases have been magically dropping like a rock since Jan 14. Deaths are still steady. Both are at all-time highs since this all started, yet for some reason now CA lockdowns are lifted. :dunce:

New cases 7 day average: 26,020. Was at 44,087 on Jan 14.

Deaths 7 day average: 504. Peaked at 536 on Jan 14

Yeah, not political at all. :rofl:

I'd love to see some stats and an apples-to-apples comparison on infections, hospitalizations and deaths by state over the last 3-6 months to see if things are really that much better to justify the sudden change in reducing restrictions in Donk runs states.
The postmortems and specific time frame studies will be fascinating and challenging considering all of the variables.

Date of first infection. A “last three months” comparison between locations has to take into account disease timeline, baseline numbers, initial mitigating restrictions. For example, one state’s surge was just starting prior to enhanced mandates and voluntary social distancing while another is half way through the surge. Also, the later the outbreak the more likely prevention and treatments were improved and implemented reducing hospitalizations and deaths.

Population density. Still seems to play a big roll in total cases.

Location. Proximity and travel between states with different restrictions/level of compliance, level of enforcement. EG Spokane County has tougher restrictions while neighboring N. Idaho has virtually none with a ton of commerce and travel between the two.

Demographics. Extended family driven cultures. Greater respect for the elderly (CID mentioned this regarding Asia), at risk elderly populations that voluntarily isolate regardless of state imposed restrictions.

If you look at the CDC tracker going back to last January, no state escapes it. Assuming blue states have stronger restrictions, Illinois and R.I. are the only solidly blue states in the top two groups of highest infection rates. CA, TX, and FL are all in the same range.

The economic outcome studies tied to lockdowns and cases (long term effects and costs will obviously take awhile to unravel and become clear as will the health effects caused by lockdowns).

At this point, no one has avoided the crisis and there’s no decisive evidence that the lockdown cure is worse than the affliction.

Bad leadership from both sides continues to haunt us. Hypocrisy and inconsistency of mandates. Lockdowns without consistent relief stimulus for effected business owners, landlords, and workers.
