Apparently part 1 of this thread ended badly. Because I had no link to support it. That's a pretty silly rule. Because anybody who watched the news at all knows that what it had to say about the new strain of the coronavirus isn't something I just made up. But I will include a link this time.
Though as I said before, other European countries were shutting down travel to and from England because of this deadlier form of the coronavirus. That it is said to be up to 70% more contagious than the original coronavirus is what makes it more deadly. Because the more people that catch it, the more people will die from it.
But did president Trump follow the lead of the other European countries and stop travel to and from England to keep this more contagious and therefore deadly strain of the coronavirus out of the U.S.? NO! Which governor Cuomo blasted the president for. He wondered of the president, how many times does a certain thing have to happen before you figure out what the appropriate action to task is.
I have no link for this next thing. But if you require one, try asking me for one before closing this thread down to debate. Apparently even Dr Fauci was against stopping travel to and from England. He apparently thought that so much caution wasn't needed. But with what's going on, I think it is best that if you are going to error, you error on the side of caution. There was also talk on the news of what they called a slight possibility that our new vaccines might not be good enough to stop this new strain of the coronavirus. They are apparently in the process of doing tests to make sure the vaccine will still work against this new strain of the coronavirus. I sure hope it does.
Why do you lie? The virus now overrunning the UK is NOT deadlier.
Yeah yeah, I know the story of you righties. That over 326,000 people in the U.S. having died from the coronavirus means nothing. No doubt you feel the same way about any coronavirus deaths in the UK or anyplace else. But the fact remains that the are saying that the new strain of coronavirus is up to 70% more contagious. If true, that in itself makes it deadlier. Because the more people that catch it, the more people will die from it. And if the people that need to be hospitalized because of it can't be treated properly because hospitals are overrun with patients, many will die who otherwise may not have.
They say that in the 1918-1919 flu pandemic, over 600,000 Americans died. And they had half the population that we do today. It would have probably been FAR worse if they were dealing with the coronavirus back then instead of the flu. If our hospitals become overrun, and there simply enough doctors and nurses to go around, you can expect a spike in the number of deaths from the coronavirus. What excuses will you come up with then.
