Democrats are focusing on mass testing for the Wuhan Virus which will take entirely too long. We need to test the way we always have and as we do for polling, that is, take random samples over several days. We also need to do more than wait until the virus flatlines.
It isn’t what many of our politicians want. They want to keep this going and spend lavishly.
TESTING
No, we don’t need to test everyone in the country before we open for business. We can save our economy if we act quickly. Unfortunately, our imperious leaders are slowing things down over politics.
Renowned Dr. David Katz, the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Research Center, addresses the testing needs required to open up:
HERD IMMUNITY
If we look at Sweden and Brazil, they didn’t shut down and are doing better than many of their counterparts. They are relying on herd immunity.
In addition to herd immunity, this illness is mostly affecting very select groups of people: elderly, pre-diabetics, obese, people with serious underlying illnesses like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and so on. We need to focus on isolating them, not everyone.
A renowned physician, Dr. David Katz, was on ‘Life, Liberty, and Levin,’ an intellectual show that hosts prominent societal influencers as guests. Dr. Katz had a piece in the NY Times months ago that has turned out to be accurate today.
Titled, “Is our fight against Coronavirus worse than the disease,” it outlined the dangers of not balancing precautions with economic considerations.
Here are two screenshots from the article:
Last night on Levin’s Sunday night Fox show, he described herd immunity and why it is necessary:
BLUE STATES ARE IN THE MOST TROUBLE NOT RED
CNN is trying to shame red states that did not shut down with a recent article. Ironically, it is the blue cities and states with Democrat governors that are suffering the most.
LaCorte News reports: Currently, New York has 933 deaths per million people. Oklahoma – one of the states in the CNN report – has 36. South Dakota, another state “shamed” for not issuing stay-at-home orders, has 8 deaths per million. Steve Krakauer, a media analyst, and critic, notes in his Twitter feed that South Dakota and several other states mentioned in the report, already peaked.”
The eight red states with Republican governors that did not shut down are rural and they social distance by nature of their populations being spread out.
The big cities, with mostly Democratic governors, are suffering the most.
In the end, flyover country will fare the best as they slowly develop herd immunity.
In the end, this entire plan to shut down endlessly was a leftist boondoggle and still is. The leftists won’t open until the disease flatlines. Thus, we need to protest.

Did they try a corona virus free zone sign or a hashtag?
We could grouphug and sing Kumbaya because it takes a village to build the utopia.
War has been declared on a micro organism?
That worked out so well with poverty, drugs, crime, as all of those things are gone thanks to the best government that money can buy.
At this time, I’ve heard Rush Limbaugh speak about the oil collapse. This is big. This is serious. I don’t want to hear about ventilators, I want solutions to get people back to work. If you’re in the vulnerable population, by all means, stay home. I’m waiting for treatment. They can keep their vaccine.
Not Enough. Not enough. Not enough. More Testing. More Testing. More Testing. At What Point Is Testing Enough. Are we expecting 300 million tests per day. At this damn rate we will be in this situation for years to come. If we don’t stop this country will see the Great Depression as the “good ol days” of disasters. There are TOO many Damn doctors giving extreme positions that nothing can be done without this Wide Testing. Doctors are well-known to suggest the extreme. How many times have studies said one thing and later say the opposite. Wine bad, wine good.. Coffee bad, coffee good. If you do this, you will die. If you do this, you will live.
Right now crude is around SIX dollars a barrel, and crashing down.It’s dropped 50% in MINUTES and continuing. This Will Not Be Good for the country. But not ONE politician gives a damn. Keep the country shut down. This is only ONE commodity and has repercussions in other industries and then effects other industries. Right now Oil is down 70%. But let’s just keep up listening to Little Fauci and the Scarf Queen, because Fauci is Now an economist.

The numbers do not justify what is happening, not even in NYC. Open it all NOW! If one wants to be a “bubble boy” then that’s their business. Leave the rest of us alone! This is akin to being forced to take an pain reliever for somebody else’s headache.
There’s just no end to the push for massive testing and the only discussion is “how” to implement it. It sure seems like everything done is predicated on the hopes for a vaccine within months. You hear the words “promising” and in “clinical trials”. Have them tell me ONE thing, How Many clinical trials are there that weren’t successful. What are the polls of the percentage of people who believe And expect a viable vaccine within a short time. Everyone I’ve seen who promotes these Great Depression policies are confident such a vaccine is inevitable. How about a little logic. If the Flu vaccine is only 20-30% effective, and this virus is of magnitudes greater lethally, then what are the odds a vaccine is wishful thinking. Are we then reduced to quarantine for an extended period of time. At what point do those who will be “working” begin to “resent” those getting “paid” for Not working, especially those in the “essential” businesses. In our state, once they get the 40+ yr. old computers working, the unemployed will receive over 50,000 a year. That’s more than some who Are currently working. We are creating an UN-Mitigated disaster. “Mitigation” will create Unmitigation. .
One has to ask why Dr. Katz suggestion was and has not been attempted or even spoken about. The two main proponents of the current situation are Fauci and Birx, who were involved with the AIDS epidemic. Their suggestions follow a method suitable for AIDS, a participant virus, whereas this virus doesn’t have the same transmission methods. Would these two doctors apply the policies of a flu epidemic the same as this virus. Unlikely. Dr. Katz has suggested what is done under normal circumstances. Contact tracing would work in an AIDS epidemic but is nearly impossible in a virus outbreak. We knew enough early on to conclude that demographic and geospatial analysis would tell the most, but it seems not to have been pursued. Random testing would have provided the parameters for that type of analysis and given us a much better picture of where we were and where we are at.
Once it was revealed the models were based on Italy that alone should have caused concern. Italy’s hospital system certainly isn’t renowned. They were unable to meet the need in a flu epidemic a few years ago. Why would we base the economy of an entire country on such a comparison. There are other factors from Italy that complicated their problems, like putting everyone together with no isolation for virus patients. Along with that was the Chinese hug-a-thon. It’s no surprise their death rates are one of the highest. This is the precise reason the comparison to the Spanish Flu epidemic has been made. In the end it certainly appears This epidemic will be less than the Asian Flu epidemic of the 50’s. At some point in the future THAT will be understood to be the case. But for now the media and politicians have fear-mongering on their plates and are serve it hot and spicy.
