In early February I went to the store and bought a ton of canned food and extra toilet paper ( not an excessive amount, just double what I usually have ). I bought rubbing alcohol and pure aloe vera... and extra razor blades, etc. I told a friend of mine in Europe to do that same.
I was basically locked in my house (no masks and few hand wipes could be found anywhere) until April.
I knew Kelleyanne was lying her ass off... I knew they were all lying their asses off.
Now they have decided to not fight the virus anymore... they are going for "herd immunity"...
Even assuming that that the infection rate is 5 x the reported number... and the CFR is down now to maybe .5%...
320,000,000 - 30,000,000 (already infected) X .7 (herd immunity) X .005 (new CFR given the various treatments we have)... is still 1,000,000 people will die and they will likely do so in the next 400 days or less.
I'm at high risk factors to be one of those that die. So I stay isolated almost completely.
Friend of mine called wanted me to come over for Labor day backyard cookout. 25 people expected. They all claim to wear masks and be outdoors...but there will be food and alcohol... just nuts! I politely excused myself. Told my friend that he should not attend either (but it's his son's party).
In 37 years of HIV/AIDs that virus has caused the deaths of approximately 700,000 people in the US.
SARS-Cov-2 may kill more in less than 2 years. It is already 28% of the way there in under 8 months.
That should be a sobering thought .
