Devil Said:

The longer we continue to hole up and backlog due to Covid, the worse the economy will get. Yes it is real, yes it is serious, but we cannot continue to hunker down and operate at less than half capacity. Ky's Uncle Andy would disagree, but there it is.

I wanted to respond to this by itself. What do you think we should do to control covid and get the economy back going?

The Chinese locked down and entire city of 11 million people to get rid of Covid in Wuhan where it all started. They did that for a month and then were able to open the city back up. I don't know if that worked or not but it was one way to do in in a dictatorship communist country.

Now my idea and what I propose it to use the defense authorization act to make new vaccines that work with the new variants. The Army is doing that research right now. They are testing a vaccine for covid that works with all the different variants. I don't knows how they are doing that but it's a good start. We need to get a vaccine that prevents infection and use it on everybody fast. Thanks to the stupid Supreme Court 6 conservatives that won't happen so we will continue to have covid spreading unless everyone starts getting fully vaccinated.

Then we need to make billions of N95 type masks and start using them. Again, Biden could use the defense authorization act to force more companies to make these types of masks. They were not pushed before because the health care workers needed them. But we should have enough of them now for everyone to use. Other than a PAPR or a full-face respirator they are the next best type of mask. But even wearing paper and cloth masks is better than wearing nothing at all.

We need to keep people farther away from each other so the virus can't spread from one person to another. I read that they did some new testing with omicron and found that if the aerosols dry out the virus dies and can't replicate itself. Lower humidity helps dry out the virus and kill it. The viability of a virus goes down 50% in 20 minutes in a dry humidity environment. The study suspended the virus in a chamber with magnetic forces and then controlled the amount of uv light, humidity and temperature in the chamber and then grabbed samples of the virus out of the air and tested it in a lab to find out if it was still viable. They found that after 20 minutes its viability dropped by over 50%. So if we separate from each other and keep our distance the virus will not be as transmissible.

Then we need to clean up and disinfect.

Now these are reasonable and could be done but certain people don't think that they will follow these simple rules. And that is why the virus continues to spread and mutate. If we don't all follow these simple rules then the virus wins.

Reasonable? What? 6 Stupid Conservatives SCOTUS members? Because they disagree with you they are stupid? Because they chose to stop and put the feds in check for a little while and not agree to abuse people they are stupid? You are a salty old man that's for sure. Getting vaccinated does not stop the spread of covid....period. its proven over and over again with people getting covid even after they have had all their shots. The actual data is starting to come out and fear mongering like your doing isn't the best way. Aside from that.....

You honestly believe we can contain this virus? Have we eradicated the flu? How long have they worked on containing that? We will just add this virus to the list of others that people get. Eventually it will weaken or our bodies will build immunity the best it can. As far as getting a vaccine that works with any variant? Nope! Not possible. Who can predict the future? The interaction this virus has with other diseases and how it may mutate is unknown.

At what point will you realize that regardless of political beliefs people will do what they want. Who can regulate keeping men and women apart? Children? Friends? Families? Add decision altering drugs alcohol or other substances that already have some people not following laws and now they have to stay apart? Nope! Never going to work. Same with everyone wearing masks and for the same reasons people will not comply 100% and it has nothing to do with politics.

The virus is here to stay and humans will have to adapt....period.
Vaccines will help some and improve as they get better at studying this but we are years away from some real solid data on what we have done to people with this shotgun approach of this initial vaccine. So far the target changes all the time and no one has been right on what to do. A bunch of ideas from politicians and so called sound science that we cant question? That's not science that's abuse.
