Nightmare Scenario

[agstar77]

In Italy they are finding people who have survived the COVID-19 showing positive for the virus 40 days after initial test. They don't have symptoms but they are still infectious. No wonder it is so nasty. In other words you must quarantine until you test negative.

Are they testing positive and are infectious or is this just showing they had it and are immune?

[agstar77]

Testing positive and infectious.

This just reinforces what I have said from the beginning: the whole notion of "quarantining" healthy people is complete bullshit. Its not a quarantine if you're healthy - its a tyranny or an imprisonment. Quarantine is when you isolate infected people.

The only way out of any infectious disease is herd immunity. The sooner we accept that and get on with a plan to let herd immunity develop the better. Right now we've got people with cancer and heart disease dying because they can't get surgery in order to supposedly save the lives of some people who MIGHT die from the WuFlu. This is Alice in Wonderland territory - our whole world is topsy turvey and I haven't even mentioned the millions who will die from being suddenly plunged into poverty.

We're blindly following the edicts of a criminal enterprise called the UN. What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

It is a quarantine if you haven't come down with what you are trying to prevent. It is an isolation if you become sick from what you were trying to prevent.

Either way, you need to stay home, or in your case, Bob, in prison.

In a nutshell bob you’ve just explained why herd immunity won’t work.

I was in favour of it initially thought it was logical but changed my view 180 degrees

Many of my views of cv19 have changed as it worsened

The answer is Testing.TestingTesting. This is the only way we have safe workplaces. Safe gathering. It must be quick, easy, accurate and cheap.

Your right on Bob. We are gonna avoid this for the most part until fall then we are gonna get it and more people are gonna die once they have to battle it all next winter. I would sooner have had this now to deal with it during summer. Don’t think any of us fully understand how the flu works so had they not made a big deal of this it would have been just like any other flu without the government lock down. Most of our so called experts don’t have a god damn clue what the proper protocol shud be based on the Chinese broad in our country.

You're right but you know what --- people die every winter from the flu. If we had a functioning media they would investigate the increase (if there actually is an increase) in deaths as a result of the WuFlu. The people I feel the most sorry for are all those poor fools who died of the flu 8 months or more ago. No fame, no grieving media - just a box and a hole in the ground.

I already said it but it bears repeating - there will be orders of magnitude more people die from the fustercluck reaction to the WuFlu than actually die from the Chinese bug. People are going to starve to death, kids are going to go malnourished, crime is going to explode, treatment is going to get neglected or not done at all, surgery windows are going to be missed, medical resources are going to be misallocated.

My elderly neighbor developed a chronic and unbearable pain just before Covid upset everything. Her appointments for specialists have been cancelled, any relief treatment is now not permitted, stuck at home suffering for an indefinite period of time thanks to the shutdown. Yesterday she told me she wonders if it is worth going on. I have no idea if this is the right thing to do, but there are always unintended consequences.
