The Coronavirus thread

Maybe we should learn from the past. You cant really compare AIDS as it is is much much harder to contract. I think the rate at which COVID spread is the concerning part. Its better to be proactive than reactive

There aren’t any options that will stop this coronavirus from spreading worldwide like tge flu at this point... so you pull the bandaid off asap so the brunt of the next wave hits in summertime, when this kind of viral spread is minimized by the weather and not compounded by the flu season...

Thats the best option... not cowering for a year like germaphobic idiots... aids you can contain, so if you are interested in wiping it out with draconian and unconstitutional methods, great... this you cannot and its not even a blip on the radar... compared to that virus
 
Yeah the girls dumb parents failed to tell my stepdaughter that the grandparents and their son back from college was just tested for it. Their daughter she had a sleepover with had all of the symptoms as well. If I had known she would not have been coming over.

They just got back from it. Strep was negative, and flu negative. Doc said she had all the symptoms and more than likely had it. Oh well. Not a damn thing I can do about it now. The wife and I will go get tested monday or Tuesday when that 45 min results test hits here. I suppose I'm screwed going to work now.

Damn!

Hope it still comes back negative

good luck!
 
By the way, the next time a Liberal tries to tell you that Trump said this was contained, it's going to go away, it's no big deal, remember what their new current God Fauci had to say on January 21:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I yield to no one in admiration of Dr. Fauci. But this comment from January 21 should be kept in mind by those accusing anyone in the U.S. of failing to act in time against Covid 19. Watch it all the way through: <a href="https://t.co/wCBHT1wfdr">pic.twitter.com/wCBHT1wfdr</a></p>— Brit Hume (@brithume) <a href="https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1246156119938080776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 3, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Question: "Bottom line, we don't have to worry about this one, right?"

Fauci; "Well obviously you need to take it seriously and do the kind of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing but this is not a major threat for the people in the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States should be worried about."

This was the same take every new york newspaper had in late February... business as usual... you have no chance of getting it here
 
Meh i enjoy being on the opposite side of your takes right now... keep it up!!!

OK, if you insist, lol



2020 College Football Season Reportedly Could Be Played in Spring 2021


The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a stop to major sports with increasing concerns for whether or not the 2020 college football season will start on time.

As coaches and college administrators continue to navigate their way through an unprecedented time, there is reportedly talk about moving the upcoming season into 2021.

According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, one possibility being discussed around the NCAA is playing the season in spring 2021. The idea, which has reportedly been talked about by coaches and administrators, would allow teams more time to prepare for a potential season.

The University of Oklahoma announced Friday that it is suspending in-person activities through July 31.

The decision comes at a time when states throughout the country are extending their stay-at-home orders with the COVID-19 pandemic worsening.

Oklahoma’s decision casts further doubt on the college football season starting on time.

January 21st? Please! Trump was in denial and downplaying the seriousness of it well into March.

Where does Trump take his healthcare direction from? CDC? HHS? DHS? All of them?

Or you expect he is also a doctor?

Your side has done everything in its power to crucify Trump and make this his Katrina. Facts from Fauci's horse's mouth - the TOP health care Doctor in the country told us all, it's no big deal we have nothing to worry about.

And yet everyone still runs around quoting this guy and my confidence in him is waning fast. He has been all over the map with his predictions from we have nothing to worry about to hundreds of thousands will die to varying death rates and data.

But TRUMP is evil.

Got it.

Then you end up decimating our health care workers as they have by far the highest rate of contracting this disease. You can’t let this particular virus spike. You want our doctors and nurses having to decide who live and dies simply based on whether they have the equipment to treat the severe cases all at once. If it wasn’t for that component I would agree but not in this case.

I don't blame Fauci as much for that as the total clusterfuck that has been the WHO and the CDC. I have given up using them for anything factually based as they are just both another militant political lobby. I don't blame Trump or Obama for trying to cut funding to that bunch worthless hacks.
 
Cuomo saying NY may be at the apex of its cases. He fear mongered that he would need 110,000 beds. Currently they are using 16,000. Hospitalization rates nationwide are 15-20% of what the models predicted. I'm beginning to think they used the climate change scientists to build these CV19 models.
 
Dr. Birx saying she's optimistic the virus levels off this week. Meanwhile FEMA sending 1,700 ventilators to hot spots. Praying they aren't needed.

Hopefully it’s negative or mild
 
My 92 year old mother is in a nursing home that just recorded their first positive CV. She has a host of underlying conditions, and if she is infected, her survival will be in terms of hours. She is on total lockdown, except for her caregiver visits. I spoke to her today, and she seems fine.

My mom is in decline. It is what it is. By biggest fear, is that, because of this quarentine, she will die alone. That would be heartbreaking to me.

Dr. Drew Apologizes, Was 'Wrong' About Coronavirus Threat


Dr. Drew Pinsky is issuing a mea culpa after continually downplaying the danger of coronavirus for months and claiming it was "press-induced panic."

He once said you're more likely to die after being "hit by an asteroid" than the highly-contagious virus. He drastically changed his tune.

"My early comments about equating coronavirus with influenza were wrong. They were incorrect," Dr. Drew said, referring to his consistent comments from February and March. "I was part of a chorus that was saying that, and we were wrong. And I want to apologize for that."

I don't care to be an award winner here, but I said long ago, there's something demented about the glee he's taken in all of this.
 
You have no idea what Im saying, yur all wrapped up in your conspiracy theories, lol
 
Here's some reality

Stay the **** home!

It's not just curves on a graph or percentage points


 
I hope all this was over blown bullshit and it is over way before the experts predicted

if this country is not able to get back to work soon the **** is absolutely going to hit the fan

oh and please, someone go blow up a bunch of **** in Saudi Arabia or Russia to get the oil prices back up where they need to be
 
So just a week ago we were all going to die because we couldn't get tested, but now they have enough to ******* test zoo animals?

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo tests positive for coronavirus
By Alaa Elassar, CNN
Updated 10:03 PM ET, Sun April 5, 2020

(CNN)Nadia, a tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York, has become the first of her kind to test positive for the coronavirus.

The 4-year-old female Malayan tiger tested positive after developing a dry cough and is expected to recover, the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo said in a news release.
Samples from Nadia were taken and tested after the tiger -- and five other tigers and lions at the zoo -- began showing symptoms of respiratory illness, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). No other animals at the zoo are showing symptoms....
 
Damn!

Hope it still comes back negative

good luck!

Me too. It's irritating that I'm going to be stuck at home until we find out. ugh. I was just going to go to work and wear a mask ,but my conscience took over and I'm going to sit my *** at home until we get her test results in 5-7 days, which is just way too damn long.

They should just test everyone! This would take all of the guess work out,people could self quarantine..poof virus gone a lot faster.

They won't even test us unless we have symptoms. That's a dumbass approach. I'd much rather know . I'm going to see if i can get my antibodies checked over at Mayo Clinic. I'm generally asymptomatic to viruses,but the common cold still gets me. Go figure.

Praying that won't happen.
