WHO warned that the reported number of cases and deaths do not reflect the true numbers. Read more at straitstimes.com.

    Why are you not addressing my points?

    Take out profit completely, and just address these with no need to explain profit.

    Where are the resources to make the HVAC systems coming from?

    Who is making the HVAC systems?

    Who is installing the HVAC systems?

    In literally billions of homes, who is doing all this?

    Who is making the hazmat suits?

    Who is training people on and distributing the hazmat suits?

    You need hundreds of millions of hazmat suits in order to have armed guards and food delivery people in every town and city in the world.

    What time frame will all this take to implement?

    Please, logistically how are you going to achieve your vision of a lockdown that would actually work to end covid, no money required?

    Because right now, your ideas are impossible and could not work.

      Why are you not addressing my points?

      Seems pointless when you ignore mine. Kind of like you seem to ignore all the ongoing death.

      You just want to stay convinced all the ongoing death is a good thing and I don’t see why I should put effort into speaking with someone who doesn’t even read links.

      I’ll keep smacking you down, but you aren’t actually engaging so I won’t be putting as much effort into it any more.

        I am engaging, I took your points and asked you to clarify things about them. You’re the one not engaging.

        Please explain how your HVAC system upgrade is going to be implemented, and using what resources? Just a start, explain that part of your plan.

          You jumped into “we could have handled this better” complaining about how it is impossible to control disease.

          When told “Regardless if we can wipe it out” (which we can) “we’d have been better off with mandatory vaccinations and quarantine than with what we did do” you stuck on if it is theoretically possible to wipe out airborne disease (which, again, it is).

          When you slipped up and admitted we yes absolutely could have wiped this out in as little as a few months ( as you and I could be hashing this out over a beer right now) you switched over to “We don’t have enoug hhazmat suits!”

          as if

          1. That is even true (hint: it isn’t)
          2. It’s impossible to build more.

          I give very simple answers (“National Guard”) and you either move to different points or misunderstand how manufacturing works.

          You aren’t interested in this debate, you just have to justify to yourself all the death you’ve been ok with.

          …all while ignoring your schoolwork.
          I have to tell you, if I was your professor and you were in my “Shut The Fuck Up” class, I’d have long since failed you.
          You’ll never get your doctorate at this rate.

            This started because you said if we had just locked down for two weeks we wouldn’t be in this mess, heavily implying we could have eliminated covid. No explanation of how that would have worked.

            (which we can)

            How, with proper details and logistical support? How do we actually wipe it out, because so far I’ve disproven what you’ve said because it’s literally impossible at the scale needed to actually eliminate a disease.

            theoretically possible to wipe out airborne disease (which, again, it is).

            Which diseases have we managed to wipe out?

            And of course it’s theoretically possible to eliminate disease, kill everyone and you no longer have disease. My point is it’s not realistically possible in any way to eliminate an airborne disease.

            could have wiped this out in as little as a few months

            Not what I said, I said it would take several months for spread to stop in a closed locked down condo building. You still have wild vectors to deal with, and spread from all your guards.

            It’s impossible to build more

            I didn’t say that, I asked you to tell me who is making them? And how are you preventing covid spread where they are being made? Where are you getting the materials to make them, and who is getting those materials to the factories? And again, how are you stopping spread in this system?

            I give very simple answers (“National Guard”)

            Simple because you fail to even consider any of the logistics behind it. Where are all the national guardsmen going to get their hazmat suits? How are you going to keep them perfectly in line? How are you going to deal with asymptomatic cases amongst them?

            or misunderstand how manufacturing works.

            No, that’s you. You seem to think hazmat suits and HVAC systems just magically appear out of nowhere. Explain to me, how in a few weeks of a new pandemic you’re going to get billions of these things manufactured and installed?

            You aren’t interested in this debate

            I am, you have yet to actually expand on the actual logistics of your imaginary full lockdown. Not simply, “oh the national guard will do it” but actual concrete logistics of how they will do it. Please, elaborate on how exactly this all works in your fantasy land.

            And I already have my doctorate, in bioanalytical chemistry, as I told you. What’s your educational background?

              This started

              …because you jumped into my notifications defending mass death

              heavily implying

              You’ve been being a jackass this entire time based on what you assumed I meant?

              Christ, dude.

                …because you jumped into my notifications defending mass death

                Because you said something stupid and incorrect. Don’t want people in your notifications, don’t post on social media.

                You made a false statement. Two weeks would not have stopped us being in “this mess”

                And in order to actually eliminate covid and get rid of “this mess,” you would need an incredible amount of mass death, killing anyone and anything that might have it in order to stop it.

                I’m not defending mass death, I’m defending reality.

                You keep saying it’s easy to eliminate an airborne illness, so why haven’t we ever managed to do it?

                I want you to expand on the logistics of what you’ve suggested. How do we actually eliminate a disease like covid and get out of “this mess”? With actual logistics, not just hand wavy “national guard…” What is actually needed, and how do we do it? It’s apparently easy according to you, just two weeks and it’s done. So how do we do it?

                  I didn’t even read what you typed here.

                  Guessing it’s more of you going on about how things are “impossible” when really they’re just things capitalists don’t want to do.

                  You are tiring.

                    Explain the logistics of your solution. How could we have stopped covid, with real world logistics?
