State Reports Two More Coronavirus Deaths in McHenry County — 14 Comments

  1. OMG! A 105 year old woman died!!!!!!

    The nation must lock down for 8 mos!!!

    Have we become nation of morons and sheep.?

  2. We don’t think it only kills the elderly. We think that statistically it kills them at a much greater rate.

    It is NOT science to point out the exceptions in an attempt to scare people.

    I’d be willing to bet that the science says this –

    If YOU stay home and isolate yourself from others, use instacart and just don’t go out, you have almost a zero chance of getting covid regardless of what anyone else does.

    So there is no reason to infringe on everyone’s rights.

    There is a perfectly reasonable, science based method of making sure that you do not get covid.

    You can hide out, while others live their lives the way they see fit.

    You are protected from covid and they are willing taking a small risk like we do every day. Why is that a problem Mr Science?

  3. @Neal The latest strain from South Africa may affect younger people and is more transmissible.

  4. “Covid” is a pretext for social control.

    “Oh look a convenient new strain that might affect children right as the vaccine rolled out and there was hope of re-opening. Go back to locking down.”

    How do you know it’s more transmissible? How do you measure it?

    How does it differ on a molecular level from other strains of COVID?

    Who is the scientist that isolated this strain?

    Who isolated the other strains?

    How many strains of COVID are there and how do they differ in affecting people?

    How do you know it’s more transmissable than regular COVID?

    How do you know anything about its infection rate or fatality rate if you just discovered it?

    When did you discover it?

    How many cases of the “new” strain are there?

    This is baloney and we see right through it.

    Your lies have no power here, BecauseScience.

  5. “@Neal The latest strain from South Africa may affect younger people and is more transmissible.”

    So Mr Science, we are now making claims that MAY be true and calling it science. I call that scare tactics. Even if true, it just shows trying to stop a virus is a fools errand.

  6. @ Neil.

    No, it’s not a fools errand at the moment.

    If we can get the vaccines distributed we can outrace it.

    Howvever, that is not happening because Trump stopped trying to deal with it and just dumped the vaccines on the states and is letting them sink or swim while he tries to reverse the election results and golf.

    At the rate we are going it would take years rather than months to get to everyone.

    Some states will do better than others, thereby creating a disparity between states.

    We will probably need to be re vaccinated periodically like we do for the flu as more mutations arise.

    However, the method of immunizing is different from the past where we used dead or partial versions of a virus to stimulate immunity.

    This time we are synthesizing a template for the protein spike that the virus uses to attach itself to cells so that may be more durable against potential mutations.

    With the nursing homes being in the first wave of vacinations, we should be seeing a dramatic decline in deaths in a few weeks. That will make it more obvious to the public to what extent it is affecting the general population and how new mutations are affecting us.

    I would have to say that I do agree with Mitch McConnell that we need more targeted approach to stimulus funds so they go to the people who most need them rather than just throwing money at everyone.

    However, I am not sure if the bill just passed does this.

  7. Neal? Don’t answer that moron. They are clearly deranged and opposition to truth. Just look at the screen name for proof that they are an idiot.

  8. Join the lemming rush off the cliff.

    Bill Gates orders you to jump.
