    My point was, most of the same mistakes are being made all over again. There was a model to learn things from early on---New York. If not New York, then pick another country. Obviously no one would be stupid enough to copy anything that didn't work. It's almost as if we have learned nothing in the last few months.

    Found out yesterday, by way of Facebook, that one of my 1968 high school graduation classmates is now in the hospital with the virus. Don't know when he went in, but another classmate said "yesterday, David got worse in the hospital".

    I'm so sorry about your friend.

    I guess knowing someone who has been struck hard by this takes it from the "concept" realm and brings it into hard reality.

    Yesterday in the Rose Garden (Full speech) Donald Trump said his policies concerning the pandemic, specifically travel bans on China and Europe, may have saved up to 2 or 3 million lives (15:03).

    "When I started seeing what was going on in Italy and Spain and France and other countries in Europe I did a ban on people coming in from Europe. That would have been disastrous for our country also. And we saved tens of thousands of lives, but we actually saved millions of lives. By closing up, we saved millions, potentially, millions of lives. Could be, a number that we’re actually working on, but it could be 2 to 3 million lives. "

    But he said just earlier this week, and several times in the past, that the whole thing is a hoax.

    He didn't say the virus was a hoax. He said that panic response was a hoax.

    Maybe the U.S. should just go for herd immunity and get it over with. We can't go on like we have been, which seems like forever, and be a normal country.

    If you listen to the doctor it is more politico than scientific about getting studies to proof their success

    It was announced yesterday that the Rose Bowl Parade, in Pasadena, Calif., is canceled for January 1st. The Rose Bowl Game is still on. Pasadena is going to lose tons of money due to this cancellation, but.

    It is sad to say that all these cities that are all having problems and losing money. The people voted for it. If a chance would they take their vote back? If not enjoy it.

    This is the world turned upside down. Although there's been a massive movement against allegedly ineffective and potentially fatal vaccines against Corona, some people don't seem to buy into that. They want to get the vaccine whatever it takes even if it's hacking institutions working on a vaccine.

    UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: "It is completely unacceptable that the Russian intelligence services are targeting those working to combat the coronavirus pandemic." "While others pursue their selfish interests with reckless behaviour, the UK and its allies are getting on with the hard work of finding a vaccine and protecting global health."

    I kind of relate to the real world, where are all these quite healthy wild animals getting their vaccines from. Why is it only humans and domesticated animals need vaccines? Humans have been on this planet thousands of years before vaccine were invented and they multiplied.

    Well yeah but.....from the get go, they said that when warm weather (summer) gets here that it would take a serious down tick but yet they are still reporting (falsely for the most part) a rise in positive tests.

    If I was a cursing kind of a guy I’d cuss out somebody but who the heck is that somebody?
