ParticipantSo apparently we need to mask tigers and lions too https://news.yahoo.com/tiger-nycs-bronx-zoo-tests-205150772.html
Participant[quote=zk][quote=sdduuuude]
I can’t imagine saying “this is the fault of anyone in the government because they didn’t tell me what to do properly.” That just doesn’t make sense.
[/quote]Straw man. No one (or hardly anyone) is saying “they didn’t tell me what to do.”
[quote=sdduuuude]
Anyone who expects the government to save them from this deserves whatever they get. [/quote]Nonsense. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that we need government for. What we needed was early and fast action on tests. We could have had far fewer infections and probably avoided some of the economic damage, also, because less social distancing is necessary if you know who has the virus.
Who else would have the resources to take that kind of action? Who else would spend the money to take that kind of action? Private industry? Capitalists? What’s in it for them? Charge everybody who takes the test and see if you can make your money back? Good luck with that.[/quote]
IOW, to provide for the common defense…to promote the general welfare…
ParticipantNah, the governments job is to protect our borders and to muster a unified response to external threats. And to coordinate things so states dont compete against each other for supplies.
Participant[quote=svelte]Coronavirus would have happened in the US with our without Trump.
Has he made some mistakes in dealing with it?
Yes, but so have I.

You are not President you did not appoint your son in law to play a role in this and you did not weaken agencies designed to keep us healthy.
Oh yeah and you did not have access to confidential intelligence reports.
ParticipantState superintendent just closed all public campuses for the year

What happened to talking about real estate around here? We are finally entering interesting times again. I will try to post an update on the main thread.[/quote]
Are we going to have a meltdown in commercial real estate? How about residential? Inquiring minds want to know!
Participant[quote=svelte]I figure the bottom will be sometime between Monday (reacting to Trumps extension of distancing until end of April) and the middle of April (when I think deaths in the US should peak).
As early as late April, I’m hoping we start to see a recovery though it will probably not be robust and will take a long time to get anywhere close to where we were before this hit…certainly not this year. Too much of a mess to mop up first.[/quote]
This may last longer than we think because of idiots from Liberty University and spring breakers.
ParticipantTrying to figure if this is going to be a v recovery or gradual. Actually, think it will be a V if news of a vaccine starts trickling out.
ParticipantOur info was either from the right wing pundits who downplayed the covid19 threat or the left leaning sources who were labeled alarmists. What would we have done had we access to the non public intelligence briefings people like Burr had access to?
ParticipantFor those whose endgame is to skedaddle you might not be welcome. Doesnt seem right to me as owners of second homes pay property taxes that support the local services and are rarely there to use them
Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=The-Shoveler]There are likely Huge numbers of unreported positive cases.
We need a test for covid-19 anti-bodies more than the other way around at this point.
We may be much closer to herd immunity than we think.Likely Covid-19 has been circulating in SoCal since December.[/quote]
I mentioned this earlier. My colleagues at my old company went back and forth between here and china all during december, and towards early january all came down with something worse than a flu, but their flu tests all came back negative.
104-105 fever, dry cough, difficult breathing. 2-3 weeks later, for them it passed, and some of their colleague got the same thing. Back then in early January, there was no coronavirus test here in the states as generally in the states we were clueless about the severity of this virus, partly due to China’s denial there was a problem. Most likely those colleagues had the coronavirus and gave it to everyone else in that group and their respective families. Now, in March, they asked if they can get tested, but there isn’t a way here in the states to test for antibodies, and even if there were, it too much time might have already passed.[/quote]The antibodies should persist for some time. Some studies show the SARS antibodies persist for at least 12 years.
ParticipantNew coronavirus research suggests vaccines developed to treat it could be long-lasting
Some reports say that covid19 mutates slowly. This is promising news for vaccine
development and for post infection survivors.ParticipantWhat happened to Fauci?
ParticipantWhat a big @ss stimulus package for the flu.
