COVID lockdown 2.0

[watdaflock?]

Biden hasn't been elected as president yet. The electoral college votes in December.

Only way Trump actually is considered the winner is by faithless electors, and it'll take a lot of them.

That's the only other solution you could come up with besides full lock downs? Interesting.

That's your solution. You are the goof supporting herd immunity. lol

 

[Zowert]

Where did you hear this nonsense?

Info Wars probably

 

[Wally]

People won't tolerate another lockdown.

Do you know what herd immunity is? You were the one who said that it was either let it run rampant or lock down entirely. That's all you got?

Do you know what herd immunity threshold is? Probably not.

Quote where I said that.

The false promise of herd immunity for COVID-19.

"models that calculate numbers at the lower end of that range rely on assumptions about how people interact in social networks that might not hold true, Scarpino says. Low-end estimates imagine that people with many contacts will get infected first, and that because they have a large number of contacts, they will spread the virus to more people. As these ‘superspreaders’ gain immunity to the virus, the transmission chains among those who are still susceptible are greatly reduced. And “as a result of that, you very quickly get to the herd-immunity threshold”, Scarpino says. But if it turns out that anybody could become a superspreader, then “those assumptions that people are relying on to get the estimates down to around 20% or 30% are just not accurate”, Scarpino explains. The result is that the herd-immunity threshold will be closer to 60–70%, which is what most models show"

What solution are you talking about? I never mentioned a solution, only your goofy herd immunity nonsense.

It doesn't matter whether or not people will tolerate it. They'll be forced to once the Biden Administration initiates a mandatory nationwide lockdown.

No way, people resist.

Are you such an idiot at work, or only while on the internet? A planned exposure to infect of millions of additional people as well as the severe illness and preventable deaths of hundreds of thousands of people is not the answer.

This was in response to @charm299 saying that lock downs should never have happened. The implication of what you wrote was that if not lock downs, then the only solution you can come up with was letting the virus run rampant. Then you strawmanned that into being the belief held by anyone who is against lock downs. Then you tried to deny ever saying it.

As for your article. That guy is literally making up stuff. The lower thresholds are based on variability in susceptibility, which have been demonstrated throughout many populations. Individuals as superspreaders is an imaginary concept. Superspreaders are, in reality, events in which large numbers of people become infected. Also, herd immunity threshold is the point at which cases begin to decline until herd immunity is reached. 10-20% is the threshold, with herd immunity being reached by 40 to 50% in many models.

The point of vaccination is to help reach herd immunity while mitigating the damage from a disease. It's not either herd immunity or vaccination, herd immunity is inevitable, regardless of how it is reached.

Woah you’re back!

Just for a bit. The mod casuals are taking some of my duties which is giving me some free time.

 

[DOK]

Don't worry, Joe Biden will save us by winding the clock back to March 2020 and starting from scratch. National mask mandates, national mandatory re-lockdowns and more free stimulus money courtesy of our national debt and the Chinese government.

I heard he was going to wave his magic wand?

But, thank God, we will still be working while everyone else sits home again.

 

[SorryLazyPOS]

I took a nap on my hour lunch, only to be woken up halfway through by a lady looking for a package I didn’t have.

You must have a small one if you couldn’t find it.

I want a turn at sitting at home this time.

A lot of people in my building have a plan to "come in contact" during the holidays for a couple weeks off.

Bunch of yuppies bailing when it gets busy. Shocker

Lockdown's proven to be virtually worthless!

Lockdowns had little or no impact on COVID-19 deaths, new study shows

Lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe had little or no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19, according to a new analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
