Unless something drastic changes, lockdowns are likely to continue until the summer. So-called social distancing will probably be here to stay on a long-term basis. Until our bodies have gotten used to this thing, and have developed a more effective defense against it. That could take years. The ramifications of what is happening now will still be unfolding long after Trump leaves office.

Rush mentioned a "study" yesterday about California. Over 40 million people, thousands of homeless and some areas with dense population centers yet they've only had around 140 deaths from CV related illnesses?? Some doctors and disease specialists speculate it may be due to CA having already been exposed to the virus and have thus developed a herd immunity. Either way, something isn't adding up out there and if herd immunity is a factor, it supports the argument that maybe the entire country might be better off letting the virus work its way through the healthy population and quarantine the "at-risk" popluation for a few months.

wonder if the heat in CA is helping too

Maybe, but it's been way hotter out here in TX and we have quite a few more cases.

That's what we should have been doing from the start. Bill Whittle talked about this when it was still just heating up.

The doctors talked about that at yesterday's presser. That would lead to many more deaths with this virus. Looking at millions instead of a 100,000 to 200,000 which is still just an estimate worst case scenario.

And keeping the economy shut down until summer, and practicing social distancing until the fall - of next year - will without question lead to total economic ruin.

We're already going to have to rebuild all the progress we made over the last three years. If this goes on for month after month after month, we're going to have to rebuild what had been built up over the last 244 years.

We're far past the point where, even if some miracle made the virus completely disappear off the face of the earth, we can just resume our lives as if nothing happened. Worst case economic scenarios are unfolding.

I hope the medical information of people that died, especially those that succumbed suddenly, is being collected and analyzed.

I want to know if there is anything to race and ACE2 receptor density and some blood types being more resistant than others.

I'm afraid the data will be corrupted by "race is a social construct" wokeness and a desire to classify as many deaths as possible to the virus.

The reason for the wide-spread immunity theory is that CA has major shipping ports from Asia along with international airports that go directly to and from Asia. NY and the east coast doesn't get the flow of Asian travel and shipping like CA does. They just don't know yet. But what we do know is that 140 deaths out of 40 million with the virus first being introduced to the US well over 2.5 months ago, they should be seeing the same kind of medical crisis that NY is seeing but they're not.

Also, Washington State was reportedly GROUND ZERO with the first cases, and first deaths from covid 19. That was 6 weeks ago. Where’s the pandemic warzone disaster there that we were all told to brace for? We were told Washington would be the example and test case for the country. Crickets, nothing even coming out of Seattle- a major congested city and international port. The press is not covering Washington at all because it doesn’t fit their apocalyptic scenario narrative.

There is a lot not adding up

no it wont. The only ramification that we will have to deal with is people going out of business or going broke.
