1.6% is the % of Americans in Nursing homes. But yeah shut everything down. The largest over reaction since well people laughed at Noah for building his ship.

Nursing Homes & Other Assisted Living Facilities Account for 40% of COVID-19 Deaths
A startling statistic has profound implications for the way we’ve managed the coronavirus pandemic.



According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 5.1 million people live in nursing homes or residential care facilities, representing 1.6% of the U.S. population. And yet residents in such facilities account for 40 percent of all deaths from COVID-19, for states that report such statistics.

And Fauci was talking about social distancing at football games and the snot bubble threat to football players LOL.

And NY is cheating
Estimate 3 (51.0%): This estimate excludes New York State, which is an outlier in terms of its reported share of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. A number of policymakers in New York have alleged that nursing home facilities in that state have been underreporting their COVID-19 fatality figures, possibly because New York State counts as hospital deaths those of nursing home residents who die in a hospital.

It's insanity.

I think the issue is that the politicians feel helpless in addressing the problem, so instead, they have to make it look like they are doing something, so they shut down the beaches and playgrounds and pat themselves on the back.

Why don't we focus our energy and resources on the most vulnerable populations, while the rest of us try to rebuild the economy the politicians decided to destroy?

Horowitz: Ohio officials discover six coronavirus cases from January
Daniel Horowitz · May 12, 2020

Other states have already identified more cases from much earlier than previously thought, but Ohio’s case in January 7 would be the earliest known case in the country so far. It makes sense that now that antibody testing is becoming more widespread, we are discovering that many more people had this virus earlier and didn’t even realize it. This is why those pushing swab tests and contact tracing don’t seem to be in a rush for antibody tests, and many are even panning them.

We also know that many more people who have contracted this virus have never developed symptoms. The fact that this has spread so much for so long demonstrates the folly in the entire premise of a lockdown.

The CDC has already written years ago regarding mitigating the spread of flu that “the effectiveness of pandemic mitigation strategies will erode rapidly as the cumulative illness rate prior to implementation climbs above 1 percent of the population in an affected area.” The massive asymptomatic spread for months ensured we reached that threshold before we knew what hit us.

In February, the Dayton Daily News reported, “Nearly 1,200 Ohioans were hospitalized from complications to the flu from Feb. 8 to Feb. 15” and that “some doctors said it has been the worst year they have seen in a decade.” One doctor said that the Miami valley was “particularly hard-hit in February. This is one area where we now know there were cases percolating in January. Other news outlets noted a 36% increase in “flu” hospitalizations during the last week of January.

Thus, the entire premise of flattening a curve and stopping a spread on a highly transmissible and often asymptomatic virus was always a lie, given the timing of our government’s response. Yet, time and again, Dr. Fauci and the Republican and Democrat senators at today’s hearing spoke as if they have the ability to mitigate this virus and that somehow we need to do more to shut down our lives for the remainder of this year than we did while it was spreading in January and February. At some point we must ask: Is anyone in government really interested in getting to the bottom of the science about this virus, or is the lockdown an end in itself?

Because there an election to win in November. They're goal is to crash the economy. It's the only way they can win.

Agree with both of these 100%

Assuming WE the People allow this to drag on until then, this entire debacle will disappear faster than a Roy Moore accuser after Nov. 3.

As I've stated prior, we all know where this thing is really a threat and that map bears it out.

Stay out the nursing homes. Do that one little trick and it's overwhelming odds you not only won't die, you likely won't even get sick.

Yeah, if you get infected with it, you only have a 98.5% chance of surviving.

I believe that fact means we need to stay shut down.

stoopid mf politicians

Actually, if you are under 70 you have a 99.8% chance of survival. With no comorbidity you have a 99.98% chance of survival.
