Even WaPo admits opening schools isn't the end of the world. Sorry @tdawg87.

Where's Sweden on that list? You know, the country that didn't lockdown.

They also left Spain of the list because they are getting hit hard.

It's almost like by selecting certain countries and not others you can distort the numbers to fit an agenda.

This list looks like the kind of argument Claude would make to say Di Di Gregorious is a better shortstop than Fletcher by only using Yankee stadium splits.

Maybe if we followed their model we'd be on the recovery instead of slowly dragging this nonsense out doomer.

Like that would have helped with COVID. I’m pretty certain they are universally treating everyone with COVID. I doubt insurance companies are declining coverage for COVID at this time

Ok, but they are nowhere near herd immunity. However they did set aside money strictly for nursing homes and have been promoting social distancing for the last 5 months. 87% of their population claim they practice social distancing. 

Meanwhile we can't get people to put on a mask.

But are they close to herd mentality?

Americans value their freedom over their health. It’s been that way for a while now

The new China Virus does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, or religion. It hates all human beings equally.

 

Props to you for coining it the “China Virus” way before Trump ever did.

This virus was created by the deep state to send the stock market into a free fall so Trump looks worse during the impeachment trial.

This is prophetic as well. Starting to wonder if you are really a Trump agent.

Coronavirus vaccine: Johnson & Johnson jab shows response in 98% of test participants

It all sounds good, until you get to the very very end.

Quote

While the results thus far have been promising, an area of concern voiced by researchers is whether or not the vaccine will be effective in the elderly.  

There were only 15 participants included in the report who were over 65 years old.  

Participants over 65 years old reported adverse reactions to the drug - like fatigue and muscle aches - at a rate of only 36 per cent. Younger participants reported those effects at a rate of 64 per cent. Since the older patients weren't experiencing side effects as often, researchers worry they may not have the same immune response as younger individuals.
