So much science

Just in case anyone was wondering what a real expert thinks:

...and today (Friday), 70 Americans a minute were diagnosed with Covid.

More than one each second.

Lol. They force people with a sniffle to be admitted? These people with a very mild case would tell the hospital to get ****ed. And the patient's insurance company might have something to say about it, too.

You are full of shit on this one.

Please quote anywhere I mentioned ‘force’.

Good God you are dumb. Most people don't have fevers. Fever checks are a very very last resort. People spread the virus before they have symptoms (pre-symptomatic) and there is likely asymptomatic spread as well.

If pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic didn't exist, it would be easy to stop the spread. Isolate the sick and boom, we crush the virus. Unfortunately it's not that easy.

Good God you’re ignorant. According to the director of the NIH (and I’ve posted the video previously), in the history of viral respiratory diseases there has NEVER been one that has been spread by pre/asymptomatic people; it’s ALWAYS symptomatic ones responsible for pandemic spread. Oh wait, this one’s ‘novel’!!

Fear porn.

Plan #1. Mask Mandate

Plan #2 Trust local officials for advice

Plan #3 Utilize specialists like those at UIHC

I have more, but you get the idea. I wouldn't rely solely on what the WH tells me to do.

You forgot to say shut everything down for 10 years.

Another day in Iowa, another record for LTC outbreaks and hospitalizations.

I don't have all the answers, but clearly what Kimmy is doing is not working. The mask mandate is LONG overdue.
