    The death rate for covid-19 is declining because hospitals know how to treat the disease now.
    We probably will not get herd immunity, because the decay rate of antibodies is significant.

      Jul 08, 2020 08:56 PM

      Thanks CFS. I would appreciate you elaboration on this.

        Jul 09, 2020 09:18 AM

        Al:
        There are some pathogens that the body can build long last immunity to – polio & etc and there are other that either are constantly changing, here I’m talking about the flu, and others where the body can build some immunity for a short time but over a time period that immunity fades. This is probably the category that Covid-19 falls into. So, folks that are exposed to it and recover but will not have a long term immunity to the virus. From the posts I’m seeing the immunity to Covid-19 fades over the course of several months. Therefore we won’t reach what is called “herd immunity” where most of the populace is immune so the virus can’t spread. Now folks are trying to come up with new types of vaccines that will give people long term immunity but we aren’t there yet.

        Trumps attempts to force the economy and schools to open will fail and cost many lives. I’ll predict right now schools will open then shut in a matter of a month. Let’s consider a simple thing – the school bus. It and the driver start early in the morning and pick up kids along a route then drop them off at a school. The bus and driver then goes and does another route to drop kids at another school. This cycle can occur 3 or 4 times a morning and in reverse happens again in the afternoon. 1 child walks into the bus and contaminates it with Covid19. He/she goes on to school and spreads it there to other students and teachers, many of which are well over 50 years old. The bus moves to the next route and now the bus contaminates other children and in a few days they are spreaders too. So, within a week or so there are Covid-19 outbreaks at all the schools that bus goes to. Opening schools back up will be a fundamental disaster.

        Now I know that children don’t appear to be “super spreaders” but there is zero evidence that says that children can’t spread the virus. In our bus example 100 to 200 or more kids a day will touch or be touched by that bus – if 5% or 10% of the kids can spread the virus then the process is off and running.

        another school Personally won’t go and sit down and eat a meal anywhere but home till this virus is under control.

          Jul 09, 2020 09:22 AM

          By the way, I’ve talked to folks that are thinking about this and it will take huge amounts of money to decontaminate these buses multiple of times a day. It simply ain’t gonna happen –

          Jul 09, 2020 09:33 AM

          I agree with you about immunity, Mike.
          However, from the data, it looks like the lethality of covid-19 might be decreasing due to mutations as well.
          Hard to tell if the numbers are due to better hospital treatment or viral mutation, though.

            Jul 09, 2020 09:25 AM

            I think we can look at Europe and China and see that with experience hospitals got better treating patients and it continues to improve in the US. Once they started addressing the inflammation issue outcomes improved alot. To track this and all issues about Covid-19 see:
            https://medicalxpress.com/coronavirus/

            I know that the virus is mutating but not the “important” parts – they appear to be highly conserved. There are parts of the genome of these viruses that are not as important to the fitness of the virus so they can change/evolve. That is just how it works – an organism duplicates a set of genes and and that duplicate goes off and sees if it can work better/be more fit than the ones it came from. (Sorry my classes in Quantitative Genetics and Evolution are coming into this discussion.) Covid-19 may indeed evolve a new genotype that is less lethal than the initial one, after all killing off your host ain’t a great strategy for any type of organism, but I wouldn’t plan on it!

    I find it interesting that both sides argue about schools staying closed or opening by not using hard data.
    Trump uses a FACT that very few children of school age die from covid-19.

    The unions argue that teachers are older, and THEREFORE (?) school opening represents a DANGER THAT THEY WILL CATCH COVID-19.

    Both arguments, in theory, have merit, BUT….

    There are over a hundred countries out there……some kept schools open, some did not.
    Why not use the ACTUAL STATISTICAL EXPERIENCE of the rest of the world?

    I could write a couple of pages comparing the virus spread in different countries, but the bottom line is that opening schools, does not appear the increase the spread of Covid-19.

    There are 2 relevent comments:
    1. The reason for this is children’s natural immunity seems to kill the virus quickly, so they never have a large viral load…..thus are ineffective at transmitting the virus.
    2. The number of students to teacher ratio is so large that a few teachers getting sick do not show up statistically. But each child has a parent which is older, so their sickness should show up statistically, and it does not.

    What the Supreme Court just did………..move over lbgtqxyz…….
    With this historic Supreme Court ruling now granting “ministerial exception” protection to all of the employees of religious organizations, thus making them immune from discrimination lawsuits and/or government harassment, this report concludes, it’s important to know what a religious organization is under US federal law—the legal definition of which is in what is called the IRS Fourteen Points, that are: 1. Distinct legal existence; 2. Recognized creed and form of worship; 3. Definite and distinct ecclesiastical government; 4. Formal code of doctrine and discipline; 5. Distinct religious history; 6. A membership not associated with any other church or denomination; 7. An organization of ordained ministers; 8. Ordained ministers selected after completing prescribed studies; 9. Literature of its own; 10. Established places of worship; 11. Regular congregations; 12. Regular religious services; 13. Sunday schools for religious instruction of the young; 14. Schools for the preparation of its ministers—all 14-points of which are more than met by the oldest protestant Christian religious organization in the world known as the Baptists—all of whom are strict followers of the Bible verse found in the New Testament Book of Matthew that says: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”—and because of these Baptists strictly adhering to this verse, makes them the world’s largest creator of what is known as the “House Church”—more commonly known in America as a “Home Church”, that describes a group of Christians who regularly gather for worship in private homes and/or businesses as part of a larger Christian body—are seen throughout Communist China where Christians are violently persecuted if discovered—and whose House Church movement in America now sees it being bigger than the United States’ 2nd largest Christian denomination—all of whose religious organization members are now protected with the powerful “ministerial exception”—to include whatever businesses they conduct their House Church services in—and includes the over 1,800 companies in America that have designated themselves as Christian religious organizations—one of the largest being the devout Christian craft homemaking retail giant Hobby Lobby—all of whose employees have now been designated by the US Supreme Court as “ministers”—and where one can logically assume no radical godless socialist revolutionaries will be finding jobs at any time soon.

        It seems to me that SCOTUS actually took the literal interpretation of the Constitution for once, instead of trying to read into it something not there.

    The compulsory universal use of masks should be debated.

    Why should a person alone in an enclosed space wear a mask?
    e.g. the sole driver of a car cannot transmit virus to anyone if there are no passengers in the car.
    What about impairment of breathing and the effect of mask-wearing on e.g. someone with COPD?

    Even the question of liberty and why any government HAS THE POWER TO COMPELL, for possible as opposed to probable health reasons.
    (If you are not sick you CANNOT TRANSMIT a disease you don’t have. (If you don’t have symptoms, you probably don’t have a viral load large enough to transmit effectively.

    There is increasing evidence that asymptomatic infection may have happened to up to 30% of inhabitants in large cities. Or that people in large cities have had minor exposure, enough to develop antibodies, but never experienced symptoms.
    If antibodies give immunity, this is a good thing, so we might actually want asymptomatic low dose spread.

    Cult Programming in Seattle
    The city is training white municipal employees to overcome their “internalized racial superiority.”

    Christopher F. Rufo – July 8, 2020

    “The trainers claim that “individualism,” “perfectionism,” “intellectualization,” and “objectivity” are all vestiges of this internalized racial oppression and must be abandoned in favor of social-justice principles.”

    “Once the diversity trainers have established this basic conceptual framework, they encourage white employees to “practice self-talk that affirms [their] complicity in racism” and work on “undoing [their] own whiteness.” As part of this process, white employees must abandon their “white normative behavior” and learn to let go of their “comfort,” “physical safety,” “social status,” and “relationships with some other white people.” As writer James Lindsay has pointed out, this is not the language of human resources; it is the language of cult programming—persuading members they are defective in some predefined manner, exploiting their emotional vulnerabilities, and isolating them from previous relationships.”

    As I have documented, the city’s homelessness agency hosted a conference on how to “decolonize [their] collective work”; the school system released a curriculum explaining that “math is a tool for oppression”

      We have been saddled with a two-party system and fooled into believing that there’s a difference between the Republicans and Democrats, when in fact, the two parties are exactly the same. As one commentator noted, both parties support endless war, engage in out-of-control spending, ignore the citizenry’s basic rights, have no respect for the rule of law, are bought and paid for by Big Business, care most about their own power, and have a long record of expanding government and shrinking liberty

      We’re drowning under the weight of too much debt, too many wars, too much power in the hands of a centralized government run by a corporate elite, too many militarized police, too many laws, too many lobbyists, and generally too much bad news.

      The powers-that-be want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day. They want us to believe that we have no right to complain about the state of the nation unless we’ve cast our vote one way or the other. They want us to remain divided over politics, hostile to those with whom we disagree politically, and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own.

      What they don’t want us talking about is the fact that the government is corrupt, the system is rigged, the politicians don’t represent us, the electoral college is a joke, most of the candidates are frauds, and, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we as a nation are repeating the mistakes of history—namely, allowing a totalitarian state to reign over us.

      Former concentration camp inmate Hannah Arendt warned against this when she wrote, “Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.”

      As we once again find ourselves faced with the prospect of voting for the lesser of two evils, “we the people” have a decision to make: do we simply participate in the collapse of the American republic as it degenerates toward a totalitarian regime, or do we take a stand and reject the pathetic excuse for government that is being fobbed off on us?

      Never forget that the lesser of two evils is still evil.
