It’s been a little over two weeks since Harris County issued a stay-at-home order. And one model shows that we still have two weeks to go before our area’s COVID-19 cases peak.
Houstonians are wondering: How will we get our lives back?
To discuss that, we called Gerald Parker at Texas A&M, where he directs the Bush School’s biosecurity and pandemic public policy program and is associate dean of Global One Health. He’s also served for decades in federal government. In the U.S. Department of Defense, he was deputy assistant for chemical and biological defense. And at the Department of Health and Human Services
Another 18 months? Seriously? I frankly cannot believe this is true. I don't trust this "expert" any more than the others who have fed their models with bogus data to come up with hysterical predictions than keep needing tweaking as new bogus numbers emerge.

When I lived in Texas as a teenager, Aggies were the butt of jokes. Seeing that this clown is pushing the 18 month nonsense (and if you're echoing Zeke Emanuel, you are definitely a clown), I see that 40 years down the road nothing has changed.

With all the upgrade to technology why do we keep hearing 12 to 18 months for a vaccine. Let’s use these super computers and get this done in 3 to 6 months.

"Experts say..." is right up there with "Studies have shown..." on the BS Scale.

C'mon, Professor Parker. Let's get specific about this. Call out NY Gov Cuomo for auctioning off respirators. Call out California because they sold their respirators for something like 7M dollars because of a shortfall in a ~ $129B budget.
Who was the Federal Official who should have called President Trump's attention to the lack of preparedness that you said that we had achieved at times in the previous decade? In the "Trump Corporation" in the private sector, that job would have gotten done before this happened. That bureaucrat failed the American people.
Why don't you call out the lack of urgency in getting a COVID vaccine to market? We had one for H1N1 2009 in 5 months.

1. It is in the Houston Chronicle
2. A Deep State employee is involved
3. Models are ineffective predictors
4. Who came up with the academic discipline of Global One Health?! The Bullshiite Club, probably.

My two bits say this “expert” is bucking for a job as head of that global pandemic commission or whatever that Romney and his RINO pals are promoting:

You forgot Phase 6, the deadliest of all phases. The one where sociaety breaks down into tribal choas brought about by mass unemployment, shortages and total lack of concern for goobernment. People will be starving and it will truly be a dog eat dog world. The death and destruction for desperate people trying to live will make the virus look like a bad runny nose. All thanks to goobernment and the experts the goobernment trained.

More experts on a virus that physicians who have treated it agree, does not look or act like anything else in the corona virus family they have ever seen. Add to that the fact that most of us have probably been exposed to it prior to the lockdown, and what is happening is a competition to be right. They’ve been wrong so far on almost every point. The people most at risk are the same people who are most at risk for every epidemic, viral or bacterial, the doctors, nurses, and others that have direct, high-risk contact with highly contagious people.

Sounds about right, unfortunately.
He is only pointing out what is available in any textbook on epidemiology, whether we like the message or not.

Demonrat 5 stages:
1) Deny there's a health problem and everything Trump does to mitigate it is racist.
2) Whine and scream that Trump has to pony up all the supplies because demonrats failed to do their jobs but rather preferred to give out freebees to their demonrat voters, and of course, he's racist.
3) Have their drive-by propaganda media instill fear in the population by downplaying any medicine that could mitigate the virus, because Orange Man is racist.
4) Continue to trash the economy and get more people on welfare while plusing up the benefits because Trump is racist and the Murder Inc party needs stupid people to vote for them.
5) Repeat steps 1-4.

And not one word about Hydroxychloroquine (Common brand name: Plaquenil) / Z-pak / Zinc specific, just "trials, trials, trials"; not a word about "right to try" Hydroxychloroquine (Common brand name: Plaquenil) / Z-pak / Zinc.
To hell with this Texas A&M pandemic Soros sucking expert.

This man is directly associated with WHO. The Bushes, and the Bush School are globalists.
