Covid19 is now running rampant through much of America, Europe and Asia.
jimmy2shoes,

When you look at the increase of stupidity in the above places then COVID-19 is merely keeping up the pace !

Have some of you not heard of the saying; "playing the long game".
As much as some of you may not want to hear it, it is entirely possible that this was a worthwhile plan, because in the end the same people will die, only it happened quicker and the economy and the rest of the population did not suffer unnecessarily.
You can do all the numbers and quote all the facts you want, ultimately it will all end up where it was going to end up at, unless a vaccine becomes available sooner than later.
Do you emotional jelly-brains understand what IS ACTUALLY going on here yet? or are you still living in a land far away in the annals of your mind.
Get it through your heads; those people who are susceptible to the virus, WILL DIE!
Your stupid emotional bleating about isolating, is NOT going to do anything except seriously compromise the healthy ones left without jobs, houses, families and futures.
Now who are the smart countries?
I'll say it again, with all our lockdowns/shutdowns and isolating, we have done NOTHING, only prolonged the inevitable.
Don't believe me?
Just follow the news reports, this will go on, even after some brainiac decides we have had no more cases/deaths after so many days/weeks.
We will end up with high, maybe not dissimilar numbers as the other countries, but if we keep up this isolation policy, it will be years instead of months.
Just accept that some things may be hard to take at first glance, but if one stops and actually considers ALL the alternatives, the hardest and least palatable ones often turn out to be the best ones.

Al;trav,

So you've made plans for how and when you die ? That when the virus strikes you, you will slowly die basically of suffocation even if they put you on a ventilator ?

That's okay, your family will be crowding around since they too accept the inevitability of imminent and suffocating death. Some may soon develop symptoms even before you are in the ground, so they'll follow you in a week or two. Pity you can't be at their funeral too. Oh well, it's all inevitable.

As long as people can socialise before they die, shop, work, etc., make money - THEN they can die, is that it ?

And if there is no such thing as herd immunity, then we're all going to die from this virus eventually - long, suffocating deaths ? All of us ? If you have any loved ones, all of them too ?

Yeah, bugger social distancing and masks - masks are for wusses. Bring it on ! If Pussy Man isn't afraid, why should you be ?

The news coming out of the People's Republic of Victoria indicates that the resurgence of the China virus has a lot to do with good old multiculturalism. So many of the disparate tribes can't read or write the lingo they speak, so even with translations into their various lingos - at our expense - they don't understand.

ALTRAV

you may well be right and I think no one really knows. However I am sceptical as previously coronavirus have not wiped out everyone vulnerable. This one seems very contagious however in the past we have not had millions tested like this one. Stats will be simply used for political purposes with no real meaning. I agree the lockdown for any thinking person will be shown to be the biggest mistake if not fraud by Governments in history. The 'experts' and those using the virus to exploit have a lot to answer for. Personally though I will be called a nutjob (be called worse) I am extremely sceptical of the upcoming vaccine being heralded by Fauci, Gates and other population control freaks.

Loudmouth2, I can understand and empathise, and I do mean that, BUT, would you not give a little thought to the fact that, without a vaccine this virus has no end in sight.
I'm not saying social distancing and masks are for wusses, I am saying that those of us who are vulnerable, are only putting off the inevitable.
Cannot you see that even with all the precautions, eventually when all the social distancing restrictions and masks are removed, the vulnerable are going to come into contact with a carrier, albeit, a week, a month, a year, after they come out into the general population once more.
If you don't think they will be susceptible to the virus, please tell us why, so we can look to some, even small, kind of hope.
I nor anyone else with a modicum of maturity and sanity looks forward to death, so let us not speak in such terms again please.
Unfortunately, I am driven to consider ALL options and possibilities.
As to whether others agree with me or find my speculations and reasoning, offensive or confronting, I cannot allow myself to be affected or swayed, in the interest of attaining, and in search of, an answer or the truth.
