    And come winter it could shift yet again, we just dont know. This is all conjecture. We simply dont have the data.

    Very much agree. Sadly, politics has been inserted into everything now days. Is Dr. Carol Baker still at the CDC? Her quotes about "getting rid of a certain color of vaccine refusers" were very Germany 1939. Don't recall who appointed her, think it was the previous guy.

    Did someone say COVID vaccine?

    Gallup Poll: 1 in 3 Americans would not get a COVID vaccine if it was available

    Full Disclosure: I am a Gallup Poll member, but they didn't send me this question.

    Dr. Baker was appointed Chair of the National CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization practices in 2009. Committee member appointment is a common practice to get doctors to lend their expertise to certain issues and she had alot of practice in Houston, but no she isn't affiliated with the CDC anymore. Her comments were in reference to the vast majority of anti-vaxxers being caucasian and was inappropriate even with the mic off.

    Sounds like common steroid drugs can help some of the worst covid patients survive the disease. So basically the doctors are figuring it out. Slowly but surely. This is like the flu x10 with spreading like x10 of the flu, and the common cold. Weird how it's the corona virus from looking like a crown.

    Flu x 10? Not even close. The big difference is this virus is being pumped up incessantly by the media and others. The flu also is not incentivized like this corona flu is. Hospitals are paid handsomely for covid deaths. Anytime that is happening, you can bet your bottom dollar there will be fraud, rampant fraud.
    The flu is actually worse for people under 18. It actually kills young people. Why no school closures, masks or 24/7 media coverage?

    Paid handsomely and also gets to charge patients that can't afford insurance a massive bill. What a great system we have!

    Perhaps, but don't forget to take into account how easily this virus is spread. An infected individual can spread the disease for three days (or more!) without showing symptoms.

    The media didn't create it, and we all have to deal with it.
