I sit back and watch as people contradict their own statements. "Its going to be here like this for years" "tests are growing, as is the number" "it's been here longer than we think" "it hasn't peaked because muh testing" "it's going to be worse in fall" "mitigation has had a major impact" The best is regarding the medication mien fuehrer liked. "Its only anecdotal" "a tiny group had a negative outcome, thisnis the gold standard and this drug must be banned"
I live in a state where our governor is in a pissing contest with the White House, but doing pretty much what the White House recommends, with the exception of looking at things by region. We only have two regions, chicago, and people who voted for the current president at 1600. So the whole of downstate will be punished for not voting the right way. When asked about the data, for the "science" behind this, we were told the state doesnt own the data, so we cant see it. I'm part of a foster parent group. One of the fosters is utterly destroyed right now. Her prior ward, that she stayed in contact with died 3 days ago at 15. He had returned home, but went back into the system during this (our state, in its infinite wisdom has effectively shut down the foster support system, non essential and all) he couldn't come back to her because she is at capacity. He had cancer and was in a drug trial. He had been thriving. The governors orders didnt allow for him to get access to the trial resources, so he lost his trial spot, as is the nature of trials. There were no resources available to get him into a linear treatment. 3 days ago he succumbed to the complication. While anecdotal, this is exactly what the cure being worse than the disease looks like. Granted, the speed at which he declined from thriving to dead indicates underlying issues, the chicago emperors orders made certain there were no resources. Right now, thanks to the emperors orders, there are approximately zero resources available to the foster families. Anticipate a whole lot of negative outcomes. Point is, everybody is more concerned about proving how wrong their political enemy is, that nobody is even actually looking for what is right. Thankfully mother nature doesnt care and this will, like all ailments of proximity, diminish in the next week or so.
