Coronavirus Epidemic, Part 2

[toddnjoyce]

Point to ponder. For most of March and April, millions of ‘essential’ workers went about doing there jobs with zero PPE; that included delivering pizzas and other shit people stuff down there gullets. People went to the grocery store, liquor store, and the parks without PPE. They encountered plenty of others. I’ve been out in the community almost every single day, without PPE and interacting with others because I can.

If the bug is as transmissible as believed, I’d estimate 85% of the American population has been exposed. Best guesses say from time of infection to time of death ranges from 3 to 20 days. It’s a known fact the virus has been spreading in the community since February.

If the bug is as deadly as advertised, 85% of us are the walking dead, and have been so for the last four to six weeks. Meanwhile, Bexar county (with a population of 1.9M) has suffered ~45 deaths since the beginning of time that meet the CDC proven or assumptive CV-19 death criteria.

I don’t do math in public, but if you think all that adds up to more than the damage to the economy and liberty that local and state leaders have turned off, well I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona.

I expect it will decrease with summer.
Just like the flu, so many are getting it in places where people congregate when it is cold out. One reason many of the old get the flu is the fact they are largely in confined areas a lot of the time. Plus they are the most susceptible to them. The same with all age groups during the winter. As spring comes people get out and away from others more and the numbers drop. The heat doesn't kill it, it never goes away. People just spread out.
Covid spreads the same. People crammed into close contact are spreading it to each other just like the flu.
I think the most we will be able to do for a long time is to mitigate losses just like with the flu. Not kill it or stop it. After all, except for masks and lock downs, everything they say to do to keep from getting it is the same as precautions for the flu and the common cold. Nothing more.

While a powerful message, I think 43 should’ve kept his whore mouth shut on the subject. Former presidents, like children, should be seen and not heard.

My gf is responsibly for staffing at a hospital. A few weeks ago a rn left for nyc to take advantage of the $$$. He messaged her today asking if she had a spot for him because he thought they would no longer have a need for him in NYC in a couple weeks because things are trending down. I don't know the hospital where he is working

So a state that is broke, is borrowing more money to pay people that are unemployed. Of course the state “makes” money by collecting taxes from purchases people make. Now if many of those people are now unemployed, or making less money, how does the state make money to pay back the fed loan? (Not sure if I should put /s/ or rhetorical at the end of that.)

The same creeks and streams our ancestors drank from will make us sick, or kill us today. I figure it's not so much our doing ( pollution) as it is our undoing ( decreased immunity ).
We've followed industry and technology and abandoned nature.
Nature didn't change much over time, we did.

I've not researched or searched, but I wonder.
What's the illness or death numbers in the undeveloped areas of our world? Sure, they're remote and isolated anyway, but I bet they ain't sick from Rona either.

Just an aside. I stopped at the local Goodwill store today since they are open to just see what has showed up as the intake side never closed. A lady was at the door wearing a mask, I wasn't she asked if I had a mask and I said no. I was then informed I could not enter w/o a mask. I iformed her to look closely because neither she or Goodwill will ever see me or my donations again.

There's an epidemic??? Seriously though, I know a lot of places have been locked down pretty good, but in my neck of the woods, it has been business as usual. The only real issue here, is being able to buy stuff we need. Our local stores are not big enough to keep stuff in stock, the stores in the bigger cities can't keep stuff in stock cause of the number of folk shopping there. This has gotten better in the last week, the local Brookshires has most items in stock and the Walmart neighborhood market is mostly stocked. Other than that, my life has been the same as usual.

Same as @kenboyles72 ^^^^^^^^

Doctors' mistakes kill anywhere from 250,000 to 350,000 each year. Do we avoid all surgeries and treatments?

Keep this in perspective.

Speaking of perspective, that statistic was brought to you by the same people saying every death is a coronavirus death.

Can you name any president who has kept a lower profile out of office than W?

No, I did not think so.

These masks are to protect other people from you should you cough or sneeze while you are infected whether you have symptoms or not.

No. They will protect other people from you if you are breathing and speaking normally. A cough or sneeze will blow right a round a surgical mask.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

The virus is going right through your mask (assuming it is not a medical mask) along with your breath.

I use a filter that is moisture resistant. It’s called OlyFun fabric. Wouldn’t that stop droplets?

William Henry Harrison.....best President the USA ever had.

For those wondering about mask effectiveness. Think of mask fitting this way. Can you smell the perfume/cologne/bo of the person walking by? Can you smell the food you're waiting in line to pick up? Can you smell the pine trees you're walking by? Can you smell the pot your neighbor is smoking? Etc..... Smells aren't the only thing making it's way past your mask.

They test proper n95 mask fitting by placing a hood over your head then introducing a odor. If you smell the odor your mask is not fitted properly.

If you have it...even think you may have it........stay the F home....mask or not...........
