“When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!”

This is all true. How many do you think would be infected if we had allowed life to go on as normal? In my opinion, it’s a success. It’s so contagious that basically anyone who is near an infected individual will likely contract it as well.

SLO County is going to spike once Valley school lets out. So many houses in Pismo and Cayucos are vacation homes for people from the Valley. The Valley people are going to come here as they always do for the Summer.

Just curious, what percentage of the population contracting this would you consider a “spike” once Valley school lets out? 10% of the population contracted cases? 1% of population dead from it?


I’m not meaning to be cheeky, I am really curious what acceptable / unacceptable, safe / not safe numbers from various people would be.

At one point a certain buffoon told the U.S. we’d have fifteen case that would quickly drop to zero. Well here we are with 77K+ deaths and counting. When are his cult followers finally going to wake up and realize how inept and dangerous this pathological lying maniac is?

As opposed to the 2-3 million some of the “Experts” said?


12

Yes! Those experts said our death toll could be in the millions. In light of that grim forecast, they recommended strict measures to mitigate the mortality rate. Had this poor excuse for a leader followed the experts’ recommendations back in January, we could have flattened the curve sooner, saved more lives, and then opened our economy earlier. I suppose he’s okay with sacrificing thousands of lives in order to preserve his approval ratings.

If he followed the Left’s suggestions at the beginning he would not have stopped the flights from China…

News Flash, a week after his National Security briefing on the matter he shut down international travel, China then Europe. Yet the media and Democrats called this decision xenophobic and reckless. Even Biden said that and then later took it back.


Hey man, get off the hate train. We are all in this together.

Someone has done a nice job of keeping the number of dead hundreds of thousands below the estimates…I wonder who was in charge…that person deserves to not be referred to as a buffoon…

Well, your bubble people said the sky is falling, millions will die; the outside-your-bubble people said closer to zero.


Let’s see this on a number line:

0———-100K————-500K—————-1million———————————-100million.


So, who’s closer to Zero again? Oh, I’m sure something somewhere was not done perfectly, which will only fuel your inner demons. I think the US handled things in the beginning as well they could have, from DJT to Newsome to our own inept county officials. However, we’re no longer in the beginning, where we didn’t know squat; now we have numbers. Enough numbers to actually start making realistic predictions, not some population-control marxist’s wet dream of computer modelling that’s failed at every turn. I prefer to listen to the local doctors, who actually see patients and deal with this in person than some Woo-En “specialist” who may or may not have an agenda. It’s just how the cow chews the cabbage.

Stay home. If you go out, wear a mask. Do social distancing 6 feet minimum. Wash your hands, immediately, when you get home. Soap and water wash all surfaces you touched. Let the stuff you bought hang out in the garage for 3 days.
