    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Thanks Nostradamus. Of course, without a vaccine herd immunity isn't possible, and there is no vaccine, so ya that fancy graph is ... ? And where are the fancy graphs outlining exactly how many people have died due to the economy?

        • Sweden's prime minister orders an inquiry into the failure of the country's no-lockdown coronavirus strategy

          https://www.businessinsider.com/swed...ockdown-2020-7

          "In the autumn there will be a second wave," Tegnell told the Financial Times. "Sweden will have a high level of immunity and the number of cases will probably be quite low.

          However, the strategy appears to have failed, with recent data suggesting the virus has spread faster in Sweden since Tegnell's remarks two months ago, while failing to stimulate sufficient antibodies in the community to prevent a second wave.

          A study published in May suggested that a small number of people in Stockholm, 7.3%, had developed coronavirus antibodies, casting doubt over whether Sweden could achieve herd immunity in the near future."

              But we love panic porn! Ask MBN.

              Mainstream media goes all in with 'panic porn' over COVID-19
              Coverage is relentless and often fact-free

                • 209 deaths today. That’s incredibly low even for a weekend.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    And yet in the same breath he says that if Trump wins a second term "there will be no hope left" so he's also doling out the panic pr0n.

                      Exactly. He gets paid to trigger people with his own panic porn.

                      The word "devastating" in a headline is not the problem.

                      But he's gotta create content as well.

                        Yep and he loves to say we all need to be preparing for Trump’s refusal to leave office.

                        We should all be wearing masks and distancing as much as possible but otherwise not freaking out.

                            • This ongoing story from the beginning of the infection finds a sad ending.

                              I don't understand why it takes some like this, and yet other who fit the vulnerable profile more closely are spared. I saw a report yesterday of a 102-year-old woman who has now survived bouts with the Spanish Flu and COVID.

                              Nick Cordero, Tony-nominated Broadway star, dies at 41 of coronavirus

                              • As Coronavirus Surges in U.S., Some Countries Have Just About Halted It

                                Some European nations are closing in on a milestone that to the U.S. seems distant: virtually stopping the new coronavirus from spreading within their territories.

                                Echoing the achievement of Asia-Pacific countries such as New Zealand, Vietnam and Taiwan, a handful of places in Europe are reporting only a smattering of new daily infections. Their success in containing the pandemic has allowed them to reopen their economies earlier, at a faster clip and with greater confidence than the stop-start efforts of U.S. states and hard-hit neighbors such as the U.K.

                                . . . . . . .

                                Governments are in a bind: Move toward a more open society and hope to stay on top of new flare-ups? Or keep the pressure up to push case numbers as close to zero as possible?

                                For some public-health experts, the question is a no-brainer. “The human toll is too great. The countries that can and have the capacity and the resources should eliminate it,” said Devi Sridhar, professor of global public health at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, who advocates countries maintain social-distancing and other restrictions until internal transmission of the virus is effectively halted.

                                Countries can then switch their focus to screening travelers and quarantining them if necessary to ensure incomers don’t seed new outbreaks, she said. That is a better strategy economically than easing restrictions too soon because, as some U.S. states have already discovered, an uptick in cases might lead to lockdowns being reimposed, she said.
