When will the covid-19 pandemic end?

[bigrebnc1775]

Like the Iraq war daily mainstream media body count when Bush was president stopped happening when obama was president COVID 19 body count will silently slip away when it can no longer be used for political purposes

It'll be with us forever, like flesh eating disease, or the Trump family.

Man, you guys are paranoid and delusional.

is that anything like the Steele dossier delusion the Schiff Sham delusion?
The Mueller report delusion? All things RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA?
Trump is Putin's ***** delusion?
3 years of TDS Conspiracy theories? You leftists have the delusion base

So you're going to say that you're not smart enough to have figured out what Trump was trying to do with the Ukrainians?

I can say you're ironically delusional
Dumbass the same people who fed you the delusions I mentioned also fed you the Ukrainian delusion and you expect me to eat the same pile of shit you started on? No thank you

Likely this is endemic at this point, so I went with never. Maybe we'll develop a treatment. Maybe we'll develop a vaccine.

And maybe not. Going to have to learn to live with it one way or the other.....

N-95 Mask, ear and eye protection would become a must then. The sports, music concerts, entertainment, and world of night life would never come back. Living life largely isolated compared to before the pandemic would become the norm.

For some people maybe. Some will get it and get over it and, over the course of time it breeds people out through natural selection as well, so 'never' is a long time.

Lots of diseases throughout the history of mankind. This one will be no different in a lot of ways. As much as we'd like to turn the world into a clean room and have everyone running around in postive pressure suits until we adapt as a species it's not realistic.

This is different, and there will be no return to "normal", life pre-2020, until there is an end to the pandemic, either because infections drop off(through testing, contact tracing and isolation) or a successful vaccine is made. No one knows how their body will react to the virus and when the risk is death or being injured in some way for life, no one wants to risk that. In order for there to be a normal return to concerts, sporting events, night clubs, bars, school, movie theaters, Restaurants, church, other forms of social life, the pandemic must end.

This is the first true global pandemic in 100 years. It is very easy to get it, deadly, and even if you don't die, it does extensive damage to the lungs, heart, and other parts of the body. The 1918 global pandemic covered parts of three years in 1918, 1919, and 1920. For something on a global scale like that, you would have to go back to 1347 to 1351 and the black death which killed half of the population in Europe. It would then keep coming back every few decades with regional outbreaks for centuries.

I politely say bullshit. Over half of the new cases here in in Florida are people under 40. Most do not even know they have Covid. The hype is mostly just that, hype. Flu kills the very old and the very sick. Unsurprisingly, Covid kills the very old and the very sick.

Go figure, right?

Even the young and healthy can suffer medical complications from the virus.

And you can be struck by lightening or drown in your bathtub. So what? Both are exceeding remote.

Its not remote at all for people of all ages to have their health seriously impacted by covid-19 even if they don't die. Its a myth that its simply something for just "old people" to worry about. I doubt you would fly on a plane that had a 1 in 25 chance of crashing instead of the usual 1 in 30,000. You should look at this virus the same way.

It didn't come here, so it ain't leavin- it got thrown into better places than this

China is a co-signator to Agenda21

Tired of not knowing EXACTLY what's going on today? Take the time....you will not have any doubts after watching this video.
I don't often suggest videos....but this one is a must.

Long before people decide enough is enough, ALL Americans will be disarmed so a Civil War is highly unlikely.
Agenda21 is a UN directive, to be completed by 2050. China signed the agreement (hence covid19)
Are you familiar with Agenda21? It really explains EVERYTHING going on today. EVERYTHING.

When your city council meets, they are probably discussing 'Sustainable" or 'Green" topics.
These are all linked to Agenda21. AOC secretly pushes Agenda21

If you believe America is going the wrong way....you really should watch this informative video.

When will the covid-19 pandemic end?

I say, and HOPE, that it ends in September 2021 thanks to the introduction of a vaccine. Its sad that the United States is going to have to wait for a vaccine when countries like TAIWAN and New Zealand have largely contained the outbreak among their populations. Taiwan is a country of 25 million people, and only 7 people have died from covid-19 and only 451 have been infected. Right now they only have 7 active cases compared to nearly 2 million active cases in the United States.

If people would distance and wear masks we could put an end fast. Unfortunately, we have Republicans that think they are above the virus.

This is a disease of the very old or the very sick. The rest of us are overwhelmingly okay based on the science. But to answer your question: As soon as the election is over the problem goes away, unless Trump wins.

Actually, the median age for getting the infection is 40. Even if you don't die from the disease, you can sustain heart and lung damage as well as damage to other parts of your body that could later lead to premature death. The virus can make a non-smoker look like a person who had smoked two packs a day for decades, after just a few weeks of being sick with it.

Don't fool yourself. Everyone is at risk. This is the worst global pandemic in 100 years.

Go figure, right?

Unfortunately you continue to spread the myth that there are only two things that happen when you get sick with the virus. You think its A. you die, or B. you recover. Your forgetting C, the damage it can do to your body in just a few short weeks.

Then there is the fact that an average of 40,000 people die from season flu every year. But there are already 140,000 dead Americans after 3.5 months. That's right. The United States did not hit 1,000 deaths until March 26, 2020. Plus, most of the 40,000 people with season flu that die every year would have survived if they had just received the seasonal flu shot. With covid-19, there is no vaccine yet.

There are people in every age group that have died, been injured, or hospitalized from this virus. It has been proven to be far more deadly than the flue, far more infectious, plus there is no vaccine to offer protection like we have with the seasonal flu every year.

We could start to move in the right direction that is true. But it would take much more time now given how much further it has spread among the population. Lockdown, isolation, mask wearing, contact tracing, testing is key, but we have YET to make a prolonged national effort in any of those areas. This has to be BIDEN's #1 mission when he becomes President, ending the covid-19 pandemic in the United States.

You have no idea what your talking about. I have worked in the health care field for 30 years. In my ER we are mandated to get the flu shot every year. At least half the time I get the flu anyway.

Covid kills the very old and the very sick. The science could not be any clearer. If you choose to live your life like a ******* chicken little so be it.

The stories that Covid devastates younger healthy people is bullshit. Hype. Garbage. 1 in 100,000 cases? WTF?

So stay afraid. Whatever floats your boat.

If Joe Biden wins the 2020 election, the Kung Flu pandemic would end immediately. Blue states would miraculously reopen, and all the sick would be cured, even those that have died. This is the propaganda of the left....

You guys in Florida only had 11,466 new COVID-19 cases yesterday. BANG-UP JOB!!!! (sarcasm)

I don't care if you claim to be the Surgeon General. You clearly don't understand the level of damage that has been done to the United States by this virus. There are other multiple serious outcomes from getting this virus besides simply dying.

Luckily, Trump, and the rest of the Republicans(can't even call them Republicans after what they have done with Trump) will be kicked out of power on November 3, 2020. Then in January the United States can start to rebuild itself and get out of the hole its in because of this virus. No longer will we have to tolerate crap that the virus is "hype" or "bullshit". The people who want to pretend its not problem will be pushed out of the way, and the country will finally start doing what it needs to do to destroy the virus and protect the population. After that, the economy can be rebuilt.

You would think people would have learned the lessons from 100 years ago with the 1918 pandemic, but unfortunately, we still have people that like to pretend it would be safe to visit the site of a nuclear blast or watch a battle from a lawn chair.

I don't know of ANY different standard for counting infections

OMG, then you're not doing any actual reading on this AT ALL other than just milking the DNC for talking points

Sure. What is there a test, that says your only HALF infected? 3/4 infected? There are some countries, very few, that are alleged to have hid the number of infections they have. Then there are also a lot of people who may have been infected but their infection was never confirmed with a test.

There is undercounting of infections as well as undercounting of deaths from covid-19. But no one out there is fabricating positive infection numbers and positive deaths from covid-19. If you think that, you belong with the people who think the United States government brought down the World Trade Center on 9/11 in a controlled demolition.
