OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

insufficient info

I mean, from that I could say I know of a guy who flew from LA to Billings so he could visit the Buffalo Bill museum.

I'm assuming you had more reasons than just the museum to go to Billings?

 

oh, we visited her dad. Lives on a ranch, 7 horses, etc. I'm not personally comfortable with visiting elder relatives personally, but she is so with her family, so we went.

 

I’m headed to get tested now.

not feeling great

 

Shit, man... keep us updated, hope all is well. What type of symptoms are you experiencing?

 

Only the one's that might have had something other than a test rub the back of their throats.

 

Don't forget to ask for the Regeneron. It's free! There'll just send the bill to China.

 

But But But.... I thought he said the talks were OVER until after he got elected.

This clown wants to tell everyone it was his work that got the stimulus through.

 

I've heard that the saliva test is only 70% accurate.

 

I know what he was aaying. The implication was that we should open up and go back to work thereby killing more of us. Yes,, the alternative is worse than the shutdown and isolation.
Me and my health care team have no choice. If I don't get my treatments, I die. Grocery stores got to sell groceries, gas stations got to sell gas, attention Michigan - gyms don't get to be open, and bars and taverns don't get to be open and ball parks don't have to have an attendance. There's my point.

 

Interesting...

The Great Barrington Declaration

As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.

As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity...... (CONTINUED)

wish you well...hope you test negative

 

This article from Nature shows why that’s a rather dumb approach:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-020-00451-5

 

Either way, I was impressed with the amount/degree of co-signers.

 

A declaration thrown out there by climate deniers. Cool. Cool.

Also...

We shall see...

 

last night I had a headache and vomited some of my dinner. Today I woke up feeling sore and fatigued with a small cough and slight headache

I had to cancel a family dinner tonight and my grandpas 95th birthday is tomorrow so I wanted to make sure I’m okay.


I never know if my cough is due to covid19 or cannibis420

 

Yep.

The jury's still out with me on all this stuff, but as I said, it's interesting...

Where'd you go to get tested? Did you have to make an appointment?

Hope your test is negative and that you're feeling better, A.S.A.P.! I'd probably still skip dinner with Gramps tomorrow night though, just to be safe... even though it would suck to miss such an important birthday for such an important person.

If you're positive, message me and I'll bring you some herbal remedies to help you battle the virus! Like with most illnesses, I think cannabis treatment would be extremely beneficial, when administered using the correct methods of delivery.

 

I’m not at all. For every one of those I can find a thousand that would never sign something like that. In just this country alone let alone England and all of the other countries in Europe.
