There's never been a time in the history of mankind when so much misinformation is so readily available.


Social media platforms have a lot to answer for. Almost everything we read in the "news" or on the internet is the opinion of an idiot.


Ask 100 different people 100 questions about Trumpvirus . . . how it started, how it can be fought, how it's different from other flu strains, whether herd mentality is a viable option and what impact it had on the most anticipated election in history . . . and you'll get 100 different answers, few of them valid or interesting, all of them very certain.


It's at times like these that common sense should prevail.


The virus is seasonal. Northern hemisphere spikes coincide with southern hemisphere flattening of the curve and vice versa. Based on the stats that anyone can see for themselves, I'm amazed this is still being debated. We should be living 6 months of the year in each hemisphere . . . except we're not going to have airlines soon.


Basic common sense measures like washing hands, wearing a mask and keeping social distance do work. It's not a hoax. Mask do actually help . . . a lot . . . once it ever dawns on you that masks prohibit the range of the virus transmission, they don't protect the wearer to any significant degree.


Bungling, corrupt, deceitful, self-serving and fundamentally stupid clowns like Bozo can shout out that the virus is under control or that we've turned a corner, but you don't have to have much more intelligence than a Trumpanzee to know that we haven't turned a corner and the virus is less under control than it's ever been before.


Trumpvirus is winning.


What are you going to do about it?

Oh and before the Trumpanzees start banging on about herd immunity (which Trumpnzees often confuse with herd mentality . . . and which in theory is the common sense solution to ridding mankind of this terrible virus) . . . go take a look at Sweden's recent numbers.

Yes, scientists predicted the winter would be worse, as is the case with other respiratory diseases. 

Wales are doing a quick 2-week lockdown which could be a good idea given it is just about to hit winter. This reset would bring the numbers down sharply, and then allow time for people to go back to work before Christmas and companies to be open after 2 weeks. 

This will buy some more time for the vaccine to be ready- which could be any day now. 

More and more cases are being reported of people having had the Coronavirus twice, so herd immunity itself may not even be possible without a vaccine.

Hardly seasonal ...case rates were highest in California, Texas and Florida in summer. More likely is correlates with social patterns eg beach attendance in Florida.
You  have to enjoy Coward’s logic....it has fooled all the medical experts, but it’s Trump’s fault.
