The Coronavirus thread

Then take that graph, and yours, and one more. Hospitalization and deaths then vs now.

I'd love to see both of those graphs as well. % of tests done, % of hospitalizations and deaths. Because the medical experts know so much more now than they did several months ago and with the FDA giving emergency use auth for Remdesivir and with the other therapeutics/treatments out there, you've got to think the mortality rate is dropping.

Thing is, who's going to report that? It's not fear porn to hurt Orange Man Bad.

Mrs. Fan and I have decided that if we are mandated to get the vacine to keep our jobs, we will quit on the spot. Our boss (we have the same one) already knows this.

I'd like the "common sense" crowd to watch this video: The crowd saying "it's not a big deal to wear a mask, it's common sense to wear one - if it saves just one life - just wear one"

Use your common sense filter (no pun intended) when watching this video.

Now let's use that same common sense...after watching that do you really still believe masks work given we know that COVID spreads in aerosols smaller than vape smoke? Basic common sense shows masks do little to absolutely nothing regarding COVID spread.

Good for you. Nobody should be mandated to get **** for a virus with a 99% survival rate. They don't mandate a flu vaccine.

Our hospitals are almost maxed out. One is at 80%, one at 99% (2 beds available), and one is actually over capacity. There is no room in the ER people are having to wait outside in their car. The one needed an 17 ER beds.

Your hospital is an outlier on a statistical chart then.

The running rate nationwide is somewhere between 70-80% utilization, which is standard, all the time for any year.

It is 3 different hospitals, but i am just saying this area is an extreme hotspot right now. My assistant tested positive last night so I'm sure my time is coming

We are starting to see the normal Flu cases rise here. Could that be contributing to the rise in your area?

I'm not sure i would guess its a combo of both. I have not heard of flu cases yet, but definitely possible. Covid cases have been spiking we had been down to 20-25 every 3 days now we are close to triple digits daily. In not sure what positivity number out corp lady used, but we went from 70 to 337 in the area. Also a part of the problem is most nursing homes in the area are not taking patients so they have no where to go.

I hope you don't get it Jitter, but it really isn't that big of a thing for many. My sister and her husband had it, as did my middle son and his wife. All of them were back kicking in about a week, with no big residual impact.

Keep the faith.

Some jobs mandate it. Military are required to get the flu vaccine. GS jobs are as well. Some school districts require it too. No way in hell am I working somewhere that requires it.

We work for the department of corrections. I may end up going back into trucking.

I've been researching it some. It looks like, based on some of the ingredients, that we may be able to use the religious exemptions available. We'll see.

Yeah I'm not really too worried about it, but my gf has asthma which is my main concern. She also works in a home with covid though

Yeah, sure. So what ******* flu virus has ever been eradicated in the history of the planet?

******* government ****s. Love shutting down the economy because they keep soaking up tax dollars, never miss a check, and DAMN! Traffic is sooo much better.

We have friends that are nurses and can’t get a full shift in, because of cut backs, I’m in South Carolina.

That's true, wasn't thinking about that, good point. Wait, the military are required to take flu vaccine?

Our company has already started a vaccination team. Smart. One of the biggest Qs is about mandate. The response is we don’t know yet, states may require it(hmmm? Ready to get your Covid ID card to go places), even if not what do we do? Flu is required but if not you are required to mask up (pre chinesevirus)....get ready folks. Get ready to have your mandated ID card to go anywhere. It’s just a mask, it’s just a shot. It’s just a star on your jacket.

From my brother and uncles. You sign that paper. They own your ***, take what you told too. Correct me other vets

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Sorry. I’m fuming today about this ****. I have gone to the gym every day since it opened, mid June I think. Everyday minus the rest days. I wear my mask (the sleeve thing proven that is worse bc it splits large droplet into small) into and when leaving. I do not when working out. Hmm been fine. But masks.

So today, my little click of weightlifting folks (men and women) who do not mask started talking. Apparently this guy early am told on us. This dude(not judging ) is a flaming Gay man. Overweight, wears a wife beater 3x to small and booty shorts where if he had junk it would come out. What ever I mind my biz. This *** told on us. Then.....later on this other grown man did the same. They did an announcement and did rounds and we’re going to toss people.

I’m like your grown ******* men and your acting like my ******* kid. Taddleing! For real!?! So the one chick is going tomorrow with others to voice a complaint about the gay mans inappropriate attire. Lmfao. The stupid drama is unreal. How bout you do you and we’ll do us.

How long has Supe been a member of your gym?

Univ of Wisconsin cancelled their game this weekend and are trying to scare people not to vote in person.

The people who will be too scared to vote in person most likely are the ones we would prefer not vote, so there is that. If you are not scared to go out and vote in person you are more likely to be a conservative.

Our resident ampalampse chaser is near legally blind. I guarantee you that man-thing you speak of is Ark. As sure as an Ogre ***** in a swamp, it's Ark.
