Why The U.S. Will Drown In Covid-19 Cases

Here are examples for some of the reasons why the U.S. will now experience a gigantic epidemic wave.

The reasons include ill discipline, ignorance and incompetence, nutty religiousness and racism.

Two weeks ago, amid the coronavirus pandemic, about 70 students from the University of Texas at Austin partied in Mexico on spring break. The students, all in their 20s, flew on a chartered plane to Cabo San Lucas, and some returned on separate commercial flights to Texas.Now, 44 of them have tested positive for the virus and are self-isolating. More students were monitored and tested on Wednesday, university officials said, after 28 initial positive tests.

What matters is NOT the number of cases, but the number of cases needing critical medical care and/or resulting in death.

If these students, as the vast majority of young people, get over their bouts with the Wuhan Flu without burdening the medical establishment AND without passing it on to vulnerable folks, then they will actually create herd immunity and that will be a good thing.

By now, NO ONE, especially not those most vulnerable to a bad outcome from WuFlu, should be having contact with strangers. Family and friends, knowing that the students had traveled, should have given them a wide berth. I saw that one dad followed through on his promise to his college son and his roommates that if they traveled for spring break they would not be allowed back in his house.

These clowns should have been prevented from spreading the virus much by the precautions reasonable people have long ago put in place to protect themselves.
