COVID-19 Stuff

.....I am constantly amazed at the number of people who are either dumb, mean, or just plain inconsiderate...

If you thought either rightly or wrongly that someone was scared, would you go out of your way to make them more scared? Throw spiders at them? Snakes?

Boo, I am not scared because of a political scam. I am a very well educated biologist, and I can't see how folks like you can be taken in by the drivel you would appear to hear. How would you account for all the other countries in the world that are trying a variety of strategies to reduce the numbers of deaths occurring in their countries? They can't all be suffering from scams.

Freedom is exercised and protected in this country UNLESS it is used to hurt other people.

And before this turns into a flame war, please switch to Sleddogs thread or offline so as not to spoil Bearbaits thread. Mostly I just ignore comments like yours and perhaps should have here.

This sounds like unhelpful political drivel of the liberal persuasion trying to cause division rather than unity.
Your side is smart, our side is dumb.
Your side has a right to this thread, our side does not.
Your side has a right to this forum , our side does not.
Your side has the correct information, our side does not.
Your side is protecting people, our side is hurting people.

The only thing you left out is how racist we are. and you forgot to call us The Deplorables

Hard to tell exactly what course of action would be best for America during this crisis.

Cant trust government to get it right, thats been proven time and time again.

Cant trust "smart" people because they seem to lack common sense and are almost always driven by emotion despite facts and logic.

Cant trust media, its all spun in one direction or another.

Cant trust data, its easily manipulated depending on who and how collected.

Talked to a fire captain (who is also a paramedic) this weekend and asked him about what happened to the regular flu this year. He said the CDC guidelines allow and suggest that ALL patients with respiratory symptoms that die be listed as Covid19 deaths, REGARDLESS of actual cause of death. He sees this as a purposeful attempt to skew the data.
I, for one, will continue to err on the side of caution & wear my mask & practice social distancing, but there is more and more evidence suggesting that this whole mess is is a huge over-reaction at best, and something more sinister at worst.

The problem with the idea that "it is my life, I am going to do as I damn well please" is that what you do indirectly or directly affects me. If I wear a mask it best protects YOU if I cough or speak. If you wear a mask it protects me. My mask, depending on type helps protect me, but is not 100% effective. There are a lot of asymptomatic people spreading the virus around.

I am constantly amazed at the number of people who are either dumb, mean, or just plain inconsiderate. Michigan Covid cases are at least stabilizing but spreading into rural areas. Masks in public places and stores are "required" or can be required by store owner. I went to Farm and Ranch store in a little town nearby to meet a friend in parking lot to buy some fresh eggs. I parked truck way in back of lot with empty space between me and next car. So this guy with open window and truck full of kids all eating pulled in right on top of my truck. Plenty of parking places. So I glared at him and moved my truck as I was putting mask on. My friend's two kids work in the store as cashiers. I asked him if he had been inside, and how many people wore masks. He said the kids thought, maybe 70%. From what I could see in the parking lot more like 70% didn't. The point is wearing a mask in a store is a sign that you respect your neighbors enough to not want to accidentally give the virus to them.

I wanted to shop for a fence charger, but not enough to go in that building. I did sit in the parking lot and ask if I could do curbside pickup for some baled shavings, which they kindly arranged.

When you drive to the grocery store, the exhaust effects me.

You and your "Damn well driving" rig is killing me. You MUST to stop!

Oh! And about that tractor.......

I had a customer in today. I asked him if he knew anyone with the virus ? He said no not personally. But his daughter is a hairdresser in New Hampshire. Her boss who owns the salon was on a ventilator for three weeks he said. But a miracle from God she pulled through and woke up.
I see the skid steer on the news today digging graves and stacking the bodies two deep killed by covid . A Hollywood hoax ? Possibly. I'll wear my mask when I go out and stay to home more and keep living.

Great! One less rig on the road effecting me.

Now about your tractor.....

My wife works at a mail order pharmacy here in Maine. A co-worker tested positive after coming off a cruise ship back in April and was out of work for 4 weeks, back to work now, in her late 50s, only had a cough and fever for a couple days. Nobody else in the pharmacy has come down with symptoms or tested positive even being in close contact with this person. Its about 40 people in an office building.

You have to ask yourself why the news is showing you video of skidsteers stacking bodies like that. Is that the same news that told us Trump was a Russian asset for a couple years?

I think the skid is in Brazil. Reported 350,000 positive cases.

I guess the next 2 weeks will tell the story beyond a doubt. Either the numbers stay where they are or the y will explode. I think I'll keep on wearing my stuff until then, just in case.

Here is another prime example of why the media cant be trusted

This reporter is filming a story about people irresponsibly going about without masks ALL WHILE HIS FILM CREW DOES NOT HAVE MASKS ON.

a NIH study shows asymptomatic people arent passing on the infection. The truth always comes out eventually.

CDC also quietly changed their tune a little as well. They are now saying that the chances of contracting the virus from a surface are slim to none. That just leaves the coughs, sneezes, and spits as ways of contracting the virus.

There are many unexplained circumstances. For example Thailand had a projected infection amount of 350,000 and 7,000 deaths. At this point the total death count is right at 70.

I still wear latex gloves when pumping gas. That nozzle is one of the filthiest things you can ever touch. You don't have a clue where the hand was that the person who pumped gas before you...

Could have been picking his dirty butt hole for all you know. I don't leave that to chance and never have, always wear latex gloves. Covid or no Covid. HF sells them by the box and they are cheap. favorite color is black. They match my mask...lol

Same deal with cash. You have no clue who handled that currency before you, someone could have blown their nose and used that 20 for a kleenex. I bake all my rent money, my renters always pay in cash. Goes in the oven at 200 for 30 minutes before I handle it without gloves on.

In my situation, Covid is a death sentence for me. I'm not taking any chances. I have people I want to agitate yet.

......of course we have Hong Kong where they had it beat and it came right back and bit them hard.

All BS aside, in reality ONE death is too many. No one is expendable in my opinion.

Did you read the article? It is a study done in China by Chinese researchers at a Chinese university that carefully traced the contacts of ONE asymptomatic patient and found that none of them contracted the virus.

No one is expendable. But what have you done to save the life of a diabetic?

Over 80,000 Americans with the disease die EVERY YEAR.

Lifestyle changes just need support.....

I would rather that study had not been in China.

Nothing leaves there without approval.

Actually what happened last week is they reformatted their website, putting surface transmission under another subheading, making it sound like they were de-emphasizing surface contact. In actual fact what they were saying all along is that they have no direct data showing rate of transmission from surfaces. They do know the virus survives on various surfaces for varying lengths of time, and it is possible for someone to touch a surface and then rub their eyes, and get it, but less likely. (Except maybe on a cruise ship. )

Yep I hear you. Data and studies surely get manipulated. But so do they here in the US.
