It's a practical prediction based on human behavior mixed in with CV19 communicability, not a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It is when the MSM turns around and starts screaming "I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN! WHY OH WHY DIDN'T YOU RUBES LISTEN TO OUR BRILLIANT DISCOURSE ON VIROLOGY AND COMMUNICABLE DISEASES???? NOW WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AGAIN!!!!! AND IT'S ALL DRUMP"S FAULT!!!! BBBWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Your mask is beginning to slip. You are full on Fox News trumpette at this point.

See below, FSG. Understand terminology before using it to make a point.

Here's some content for you. Learn you something, as you love to tell me.
On a lighter note, my wife finally tested negative for CV19.
Our best guess is that she contracted it in the few days before she first tested (March 18), as opposed to what we originally thought that she had it in the first week of March. Up until this past week, she'd had some symptoms off & on. However, we'll never know for certain. Regardless, she's going to be donating plasma next week

That’s awesome. Glad you guys are better!
Thanks guys - it just seems more believable, despite all we still don't know about CV19, that she had it for 6 weeks vs. 9-10. But who knows? We feel fortunate nonetheless

I'm so happy that this is behind u guys!
I can't remember if it was linked here or not, but I was reading an article about why some people test positive for longer or even seem to "relapse."

On a political note, I find it annoying that this story isn't gaining more traction, as it is pretty good news. I had to adjust search criteria in Google to find it.

Thanks and same, JJ.
I've said it before to JIB, but things like this make me understand and appreciate that while I may have a different political view/perspective from most of you (and we take turns digging at one another), we're all human, mostly American, and mostly continue to be fans of a football franchise that continuously emotionally abuses us, despite us knowing it's going to happen.

I guessed this was the case, that the PCR was finding old, inactive virus. Thanks for digging up the confirmation!

This news brings joy from me and my procreative mate to yours, fellow earthl...humans.
We are from France.

Terrific, I am happy for you both. Do something quiet and reflective together to cherish this.

Oh please Fox is doing the same thing.
I think we can halve the reported number of COVID deaths and be much closer to the truth.

Or perhaps what that shows is that social distancing works on a lot of diseases, and not just Covid-19.
That graph should only include stuff doctors believe are induced by Covid-19. Remove accidents, homicides, etc, and include the stuff that would play out with or without Covid. To be fair, we also need to discount all frivolous Covid deaths. If someone was already on their death bed when they caught it, it shouldn't count. Same with accidents and other deaths that are unnecessarily being attributed to Covid. There is a hidden gap there, but the above chart doesn't prove it.

Yeah, sure. Social distance yourself out of cancer or a stroke. Geez, why didnt we think of that sooner?

You really don't think All Other Causes is down 50%, right?

Yeah, I knew someone would say that, but there was a whole bunch of stuff lumped together without specifying how much each of those things had declined from one year to the next. Flu and homicide in the same stat? What the heck do homicide and accidents have to do with Covid-19? Did someone get shot and hauled to he hospital where he was pronounced dead from Covid-19? Couldn't one also safely assume that social distancing would result in a decline in flu deaths?
