Covid-19 appears to be weakening

Someone should tell the families of the people who are currently fighting a losing battle against the virus. I'm sure that they'd love to know that they'll be fine.

Erm... how in the world did you get the idea that I was suggesting that?

 

All I said was that some things pointed to as counter-evidence to the theory that the virus is weakening were not, in fact, counter-evidence.

 

And I mentioned something that is counter-evidence (the average age of people testing positive has gone down by a lot, which would reduce the death rates significantly even given no other changes).

Hmmm no. 

 

We take advice from the head of the country’s infectious disease Centre with 50 years of infectious disease experience and that’s Dr. Fauci and his team. 

Dr. Fauci is extremely well respected in his field and has served under 6 different presidents right from Reagan before anyone claims there’s a political angle to this. 
 

Dr. Fauci is very well know in my area of research and it’s disappointing to see these attacks on him and his family from people who have no foundational understanding in the sciences. 

 

 

Fauci has been wrong about this virus and the pandemic multiple times.  

 

He may be well respected, but his track record of credibility in THIS pandemic is pretty bad.

When this is finally over one of the principle things that we can take away is the horrid responses of the Media.  They have created more problems than has the Virus.

There is no truer statement than this right here.

 

The media has been absolutely horrible in all of this and has caused so much un-necessary heartache.

The unnecessary heartache to families has been caused by a bungled response to this virus at pretty much every level of government. We had our chance to lock things down long enough to put in a robust tracing system, encourage social distancing/mask wearing when we did need to venture out, expand PPE/ICU capacity, etc. but nope. We blew it.

I'm pretty sure that the non-existent federal government response is worse though. You know, the reason people are dying. The fight against mask mandates by local politicians isn't helpful either. But sure, the media is what causes unnecessary heartache, not the ridiculous and tragic amount of deaths and infections.
