We made a terrible mistake

We're told that social distancing is working because we're flattening the curve. How do we know that those two things are related? There isn't that all-important-for-good-science control group. For all we know, the result would have been similar if we hadn't put such draconian measures in place.

In addition, for all our medical experts' talk of their high standards, they ignored those standards when they embraced the Imperial College model that, according to world-renowned epidemiologist Johan Giesecke, was an internal document that was unpublished and had not been peer-reviewed. Giesecke had never seen a document of this type garner so much attention as to shape major public policy decisions.

He also described the strict lockdown measures embraced by many countries as non-evidence-based. (What?! You mean our experts who uphold the highest of double-blind standards have been shooting in the dark?!)

And speaking of lockdowns, according to some reports, the U.K. hit its peak before it put strict social distancing measures in place (here, here, here at the 6:40 mark).

On top of that, Gabi Barbash, a top Israeli scientist, has a statistical analysis that shows that the virus peaks after about 40 days and fizzles to a low level after about 70 days, irrespective of the nature of the public policy to control it.

Sweden, meanwhile, continues to recommend moderate social distancing measures, and the country appears none the worse for wear compared to other Western nations. In fact, Sweden is doing better because it's implemented social distancing without law enforcement arresting people, without drones (made in China) hunting people down, without snitch lines set up for people to report on others breaking the rules, and without taking a sledgehammer to its economy.

In all, Giesecke, Barbash, and decision-makers in Sweden support social distancing measures, but not to the level imposed here in the United States and elsewhere, and not with enforcement that flies in the face of a free society.

So here we are as our experts (with their high standards) attribute current trends with the virus to the shutdown despite no way to prove it, after using a terrible model that informed public policy, and in the face of the very real possibility that no matter what you do with respect to trying to control the virus, the end result may be the same.

Let's practice good infection control and get back to work!

It was great to see the President smack Lockdown Larry yesterday at his press conference. Larry (Hogan) has been patting himself on the back lately and bragging how he bought all of these testing kits from Korea. The President came out and basically said - why did he do that? We have tests here he just wasn't smart enough to figure out how to acquire them.

Maryland is one of the only states now that doesn't have a clear timeline for reopening. Hogan is a joke.

Law of Unintended Consequences. Everyone was so focused on flattening the curve to prevent the health care system from collapsing, they apparently failed to anticipate that it could collapse financially under the restrictions designed to save it.

What happens when the hospitals can no longer pay the staff tending to the COVID patients? Ask them to work for free? Shut down?

Which was preceded by closing and entire hospital in that system shortly before.

I live in Md. Hogan is a joke. Every once in a blue moon he acts like the Republican he claims to be. Mostly he is a massive Trump hater and it shows. His press briefings are laughably short on common sense and long on power mongering. Funk that guy. If he could run again it might have been the first time I voted Democrat.

Did you ever notice that the media is not included on any essential business list state or federal?

Well, the WHO has come out and settled the matter. The Wuhan virus came from a bat and not a lab. I'm satisfied, aren't You?
Since this liar and his group feel it necessary to come out with this now, after all the lies and coverups they have been proven to be guilty of....this had to have been released from a CCP bio-warfare lab. The real question is whether accidental or on purpose.

Only the media thinks the media is essential.
No one has told the media that they can't publish whatever they want. But they are no more "protected" from government action than is our right to peaceably assemble (protest).


Amendment 1 - Freedom of expression and religion)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Farting is helping the spread of the COVID19


LOAD OF GUFF? Doctor says coronavirus could be spreading through farts – but experts aren’t so sure
Lucy Jones, Digital Health & Fitness Reporter
Apr 15 2020, 8:20 ETUpdated: Apr 15 2020, 12:04 ET

CORONAVIRUS could be spreading through farts, a doctor is warning.

One medic claimed people may be passing the deadly disease on to others through omitting bodily gasses - however experts aren't so sure.

They say the chances of catching Covid-19 through farting is "tiny" and that Covid-19 is mainly transmitted between people through droplets spread from coughing and touching or shaking hands.

Australian doctor Andy Tagg pointed out that farting could cause coronavirus after analysing a series of tests take from coronavirus patients earlier this year.

He cited tests that revealed the virus was present in the faeces of 55 per cent of patients with Covid-19.

And medics have previously warned farts contain tiny poo particles that can spread bacteria.

Dr Tagg wrote: “Well, SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in faeces and has been detected in an asymptomatic individual up to 17 days post-exposure.”

The doctor added that previous tests have shown farts have the power to spray talcum powder long distances.

He added: “Perhaps SARS-CoV-2 can be spread through the power of parping - we need more evidence.

“So remember to wear appropriate PPE at all times and stay safe!”

If someone farts and you're hit by poo particles, you likely have more immediate problems

I wear a mask to prevent this... it's called underwear.
Will we now have underwear checks before we enter a store? Eek

Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual.

How does coronavirus kill? Clinicians trace a ferocious rampage through the body, from brain to toes.

A long detailed Science journal article that amplifies much of what was discussed in The Wall Street Journal article I posted some time ago. The article describes the serious effects the COVID-19 disease virus can have on many parts of the body, and not only the lungs.
