We've Flatten The Curve. It's Time For Texas To Move On.

Let's get more theoretical. What happens when Dallas County is "clear" and we import people from other countries who turn up positive for COVID19? Are we going to shut down everything again for months?

The only way to handle this is, since we don't have a vaccine or a cure, is to build up herd immunity by letting the disease run its course. There are things we can do but I'm past "shutting everything down".

Now stop being a little bitch. Be thankful its only killing old people and people with underlying conditions and not children. It's called "life." Stop panicking. Originally Posted by gnadfly

G - even the POTUS is considering your point - and I agree with you on that point.

The Wuhan virus is out of the box - and uncontrollable

Quarantine measures are not effective - for many reasons.

Time to drop the lockdown. Offer voluntary quarantine to those at risk - elderly and with underlying disease processes.

get back to work .
China is loving what they have done to our economy!

MB - care to define the issues where the poster is "wrong"?
What are the issues, why the poster is wrong, and what should be done in your lofty opinion??
And why you consider yourself qualified to make such value judgments.



Just a follower of the lying LSM and a lover of Socialist totalitrian heroes fidel and che.

you can look at the stats of people dying, its not just old people.

hes dead wrong

on we go
shut it down take the hit for a month or two limit exposure and move on from there get a damn treatment and vaccine

the economy is fucked, dont fuck it for a year if people are sick and hospitals are over run theres no economy

period

Go bow down to your Fidel altar.

Fascist DPST idiot who cannot intelligibly answer or debate the issues cogently or constructively.

As I noted in another thread, even Cuomo, who is in charge of the state with the worst current outbreak would "rethink" the entire lockdown approach. So with that said, why make the wrong knee jerk decisions elsewhere?

The statistics show it's largely the elderly and those with other complicating conditions. Very few young and healthy are succumbing.

But let's for the moment go with your sceario.

What do you think Trump's reelection chances would be in November 2020 by following such a straegy?

What we are seeing is the Wuhan virus is very transmissible - but has a lower case mortality than Influenza A - which we see yearly and do not cripple our economy over.

you scenario above is likely correct. Although some immunity to newer strains of corona virus which emerges is posible. That may be why children andyoung parents with young kids seem to be affected less by the wuhan strain.


The political issue - When the POTUS is honest and straightforward about the situation - sentient people respect that. Trump did not inflict Wuhan virus on the world - China did - something the lying LSM is trying to help Zi and China cover up.

Given effort to develop a medical treatment and vaccine - and education as to the virus - Again - sentient voters will consider and make an intelligent decision.

If Biden is the candidate - a man affected by advancing dementia - it is a no brainer choice.


editorial - i appreciate the way SR posts respectfully. i may disagree - but it is respectful.

As for Trump, his number go up during negative events. And if you’ve seen recent Biden performances, which are few, he’s getting worse. Trump will win easily.

And last I saw, Trump's approval was pushing 49% and Bidens was at about 43%.

How that eventually impacts the election is yet to be seen, but bodes well for Trump remaining very competitive.

If we only have 5 or 6 per day over the next week then with all the social distancing in place I would say we beat it and time to get back to work.

I'm really getting sick of paying people to work from home!
