The Coronavirus thread

To the Lockdown Lovers (who kept working and got paid) - time to acknowledge you were wrong and caused devastating unintended though well-prognosticated consequences.

The pandemic has exacerbated a troublesome trend. Hospital admissions and emergency room visits for suicide attempts doubled at children's hospitals from 2008 to 2015. This past summer, as the pandemic raged and social isolation limited access to school, friends and other support systems, hospitalizations at children's hospitals significantly increased. These included an increase of nearly 20% increase in suicide attempts and more than 40% in disruptive behavior disorders.

"Almost a year into the pandemic, what began as a public health emergency is turning into a mental health crisis among our nation's children and adolescents," added Dr. Lee Beers, president of the AAP, medical director of Community Health and Advocacy at Children's National Hospital and founding director of the DC Mental Health Access in Pediatrics Program. "The duration of the pandemic, isolation from friends and family, effects of parental stress and economic hardship, and loss of loved ones are all taking their toll on children's mental health. Now is the time for us to step up and invest in a broad-scale, comprehensive approach to prevention, early intervention and treatment."

Mental and Behavioral Health in Children: A Crisis Made Worse by the Pandemic

www.childrenshospitals.org www.childrenshospitals.org

At the start of the pandemic last year, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti chose “safer at home” as the motto for his lockdown policies. If the past year has shown us anything, it’s how misguided that notion is. Lockdowns have created not just economic devastation for America’s small businesses, restaurants, museums, and zoos. They have also taken a significant toll on the mental and physical health of everyone from small children to the elderly (while doing little to contain the virus itself). To get a sense of this, compare two states that took opposite approaches: New York and Florida.

Despite the hysteria about how bad things were in Florida and the Biden administration’s recent threat to restrict travel to the state, statistics suggest that you’re better off in the Sunshine State. Currently, Florida has 224 people per 1 million in hospitals for Covid-19; New York State has 338 per million, or 50 percent more. In New York, blacks are 2.3 times more likely than whites to die of Covid; in Florida, blacks are equally as likely as whites to die. Governor Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous policies have resulted in much higher mortality rates in New York’s nursing homes than in Florida’s.

The lockdowns themselves have also been deeply destructive. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Florida saw a 4.6 percent drop in employment from December 2019 to December 2020. New York’s drop was more than twice that, at 10.4 percent. To judge by recent news coverage of businesses fleeing New York for Florida, it’s possible that a number of those jobs simply went from one state to the other.

Speaking of Flogged, he sure has been on a long 'business trip' to a place where there's no service to make a post.

He probably lost consciousness due to the 4th mask, nobody noticed because of social distancing (at least that's what people were telling him), and was later found wandering naked and multi-masked on some lonely stretch of interstate and arrested. He wasted his one call to Decaf, who of course refused the collect call because it would have cost him about 575 Hungarian Forints ($2), and is wasting away in solitary confinement as a potential "insurrectionist."

It wouldn't be prudent to immediately rule this out.

I could never be as funny as a liberal trying to be serious. Examples:
  • A dimwitted former part-time bartender who has never owned real property and did not know what a garbage disposal does until age 29 telling me she knows how to judiciously spend trillions of tax dollars.
  • A refugee from Somalia, the ******* of the planet, marrying her brother in a patently fraudulent scenario to scam the system, telling me how crappy my country is and how to behave morally.

So how are all you "I trust science" folks doing these days? Now that you know Fauci has been full of **** pretty much from day 1.

Fauci full of ****.
WHO full of ****.
CDC either incompetent of full of ****. (Practically controlled by the teachers unions)

Where is all this 'good science' coming from? Because it sure as **** isn't coming from any of those sources.

You're as demented as the rest of the lot. ANF doesn't think he's tall, Ark believes he's clean, Ogre believes he's human, and you believe you're funny.

Libs never admit to being wrong about anything because they are too full of themselves. Their "good intentions" absolve them of any failed policy.
We conservatives are devoid of any good intentions. Shameless holier than thou ************* they are.
 
Some of these articles that reference the Wuhan markets have triggered my warped sense of humor. I can picture an old school SNL skit with Martha Stuart meandering around the market with all hell breaking loose around her. She picks through the bats and takes the perfect one home in her crocheted bat basket.

She then prepares the bat with her elitist style and charm as if she were preparing a Thanksgiving turkey. Just before the bat is ready to come out of the oven she exclaims that it smells just about done but to avoid a global pandemic you must cook your bat to 170 degrees internal temperature.

She then takes the meal out to her 100 or.so Chinese guests..

Yeah I'm sick....:)

Why not gather up delicious rat on a stick as well? They have also have a wonderful selection of fresh rotting skinned dogs&cats. The added bonus is no refrigeration, lots of flies and many months/years of blood,rot,hair,guts and maggots.


I'm so hungry right now.

We are pretty much fully opened up here. No one wears a mask anymore except for scared dimocrats.

Same here other than a few businesses still requiring their employees to wear them. I've asked them why, and mostly get shrugs as a response.
 
so i got the jabby jab stabby stab and am fully vaccinated, for what its worth.

flew on Southwest 6/5. Mask required. Any type.
flew on Allegiant 6/13. Mask with ear loops required. "per federal law"
 
Went to the NJ for the weekend. Me and bud went to bar and I’d say there was a couple hundred people in there. Shoulder to shoulder. Only seen one person wearing a mask.

you dead yet?
 
OK, when I see stuff like this, it DOES make me wonder what in the actual living hell IS actually really going on?

Per Dr. Makary, he's not aware of ONE single healthy child in the USA that has died from COVID.

Yet the CDC goes on record and says young children can die from COVID. Why?? To push the vaccination of children. Why?? If they aren't at risk, why? To push the vaccination, again. Why this desire to push the vaccination to those who aren't vulnerable?

Makes you wonder the real reason. To enrich pharma companies? Or some other nefarious reason. If someone doesn't need it, why is the government hell bent on making sure they get it??

Authorities should worry about worsening vaccine hesitancy by pushing low-risk kids to get jabbed, med school professors warn.
