Coronavirus...post your thoughts here...

I don't understand why a second wave of the virus would kill more people when it has to deal with people who already had it with antibodies?

Coronavirus: Second COVID-19 wave twice as big as the first without effective test, trace, isolating strategy, says new modelling study

Report also suggests that with effective track and trace "an epidemic rebound might be prevented".

the antibodies are often wearing off in 2-3 months

I know, however, even if that is the case, WHY would it be worse the second time around?

Because it's already more widespread in the community than it was originally so it's a larger chunk of the population to spread it. I think I saw an article that said they'd identified around 1500 carriers that started the first wave in Britain. There are now thousands more cases so if the second wave starts then its starting with many more carriers to spread it.

Well how are they defining the word wave?
A second wave at the beach won't make the original sand the first one hit any wetter just the drier sand further in..

Well like I said a month ago when I was walking to a nearby garage to get my car in for its annual road worthy test, I saw a lot of disposable gloves thrown out on the street... The numbers of dispoable items in the cming months are going to be in the billions in addition to the plastic waste already out there.

Coronavirus: Disposable face masks creating new plastic pollution crisis, experts warn

UK volunteers have seen a "massive" rise in the amount of single use masks discarded on beaches, high streets, canals and rivers.

I work at a truck stop, in a state where masks are mandatory in a store unless you have a medical condition (or just say you do). My boss ordered $3000 in disposable masks, for us to give to people for free. Then they can not use the excuse of leaving it in the truck or not having one. Then we won't get a hefty fine for not enforcing the mandate.

We now have to sweep the parking lot after every shift in order to pick up the masks people have thrown on the ground. It's not like we don't have garage cans EVERYWHERE. Just put them in the trash!

I've tried to stay out of this discussion, but something has irked me since all this started:

I don't believe the numbers one bit. They are artificially inflated and outright lied about. I keep hearing about case after case of people dying with the cause of death being listed as coronavirus, yet the person had a heart attack or was in a motor vehicle accident. Or how they include probable, but unconfirmed, cases in their numbers. You have a headache and the sniffles? CORONAVIRUS! It's actually allergies or the common cold, but it's counted as another case of coronavirus. Plus the tests are very inaccurate. Our own governor, Mike DeWine tested positive recently only to have multiple other tests come back negative. Yet he'll be counted in those number of positive cases regardless. No, I believe this is overhyped and is being used as a test bed for many things, such as moving on to digital currency where they can control every aspect of your finances. And you can't tell me this isn't going to be exploited to try and sway the elections this fall.

I still wear my mask in public and use my sanitizer like a good monkey even tough I think it's by and large a farce.

I do agree. Right now Socialism is being pushed. Next, it will be Marshall Law. This is a lot of hype to control us. Yes, we have a virus but who really started it? Is there really a vaccine being held back? Our Government has become as crooked as they can get. If you read Revelations, these are all signs of of what prophets predicted 2,000 years ago. We are very close to the end, IMO.

I think the Earth is a gonna, humans have messed it up too much. Nobody wants to take the tough decisions in government to help it because that would be too unpopular.

A micronation gone belly up due to the Rona.

Never heard of these before now,

Strange phenomina..

Australia's oldest micronation, Hutt River is no more thanks to Covid-19

Australia's oldest micronation, Hutt River is no more thanks to Covid-19

The 50-year reign of an Australia-based micronation has come to an end. Hutt River, a self-declared principality and popular tourism attraction, is surrendering to Australia due to the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with a giant tax bill.

Hutt River sounds very much like Jonestown here in the US.
