COVID-19 Stuff

[Daren Todd]

Ive never gotten a flu shot, ever and have never had the flu. I get a mild cold every couple years thats it.
I must have a strong immune system. I think ill wait for the vaccine also unless it turns into a REAL pandemic.

I've had the flu twice. This year in february, and back at Christmas 2003. Both years I caught it, are the two times I actually had the flu shot

Picked it up from my dentist's office the first time. This year I had a temp employee coughing and hacking in my work truck for 2 days. Come to find out he had it. I ended up giving it to my wife as well.

I actually developed a hyperactive immune system after I quit smoking. It was always strong, and I rarely got sick. Apparently the cigarettes were holding it back some. I ended up having to go on an immunosuppressant a little over a year ago.

This virus will go away the minute the media stops sensationalizing it. It won't actually go away, we will just carry on like we always have. In some circles you will hear "did you hear about the flu going around?". The same goes for the mask.

If Trump wins the election, the democrats and MSM will continue to milk it for all it is worth. If Trump loses, the Chinese Flu will go away Nov. 8th.

Here you go, now you guys want to go out in public and be safe this is just what you need to wear. It will keep you 99% germ free and you wont have to worry about people like me breathing on you. Oh and it leaves your sidearm still accessible.

LOL - This ISN'T about being safe. This is about FEELING safe.
Totally different problem/solution.

Here's an article on the florida numbers. Looks like a bunch of discrepancies.

Florida reported 100% positive COVID-19 tests from some labs. That's wrong, hospital system says.

The Lee Health hospital system says that its lab testing of potential COVID-19 cases has shown an overall positivity rate of about 18%.

Sounds like some folks got their signals crossed. Someone was faxing all the positives immediately so contact tracing could start asap, and then putting all test results on an electronic form.

I got that as well and can understand the contact tracing. But were they counting the positive tests twice

Seems that if it was happening in one area, it probably was happening in other areas as well. Especially with the work load the labs are under.

I also wonder how many other states this is happening in, under the radar where it isn't so obvious.

I dunno Daren, it's like wondering how often someone typed in 32 instead of 23. Some labs have people that will double check their work, and others not. I am not real impressed with that piece of journalism. Two of their examples of 100% were "total of 5 cases" or some other small number. I would like to see the whole thing checked out, with error as a fraction of the total. It is good to uncover errors but their headline doesn't match what they found very well. No surprise. I have seen the same paper described by two different outfits in almost the exactly opposite ways. Now if you want to see a cluster f$%k wait until you see what happens with the Trump order to have all the numbers reported to his hand picked contingent instead of the CDC. If nothing else they will have some other electronic form that will confuse the underpaid typists lead ing to even more errors. Ducky.

Just like the gun argument . I knew this insanity all felt very familiar.

The CDC has been making it up as they go on this one. They have been VERY wrong with their numbers so far. Maybe Trumps people will take the spin out? Did you ever think of that. For some reason you can explain away all the garbage numbers like it is ok.

You have seen bad numbers in almost every direction there is, and you have no problem with that? Now, it will be Trumps fault so I would think you would like that. Lets see how critical you are of bad numbers going forward. So far you have excused every mention of them.

Evidence for your statements?

Which evidence? The double counts? The people like my father being admitted as a covid patient with his broken hip? The added "recovered" numbers to the current? etc. etc. etc.

Or evidence of your spinning all the bad numbers into something else? I am pretty sure I have mentioned the elephants tap dancing around.

There are 82 pages right here as a body of evidence.

My point is the numbers have been WRONG from the hospitals to the states to the CDC. All wrong in the same direction, which is how you know it is an agenda. Like changing what a "fever" temperature is to generate more BAD numbers.

You come in and say "Just wait until Trump....." like he has something to do with it. You have had no issue with all the bad data to this point, why worry about the fed collecting the data? THEY MIGHT GET IT RIGHT? Is that the real fear? I don't see how they could get it more wrong than what we have currently.

The CDC has been all over the place. Where a mask, dont wear a mask. Same with Asymptomatic people spreading the disease, not spreading it. Constantly contradicting themselves on what to do.

They are accounting antibody tests as well as regular tests as positive cases.

Again, as a rule I don't read that stuff. My wife and I do what we feel is prudent to keep from contracting it.

Just turned 70 yesterday. I'd like to get a few more years before the inevitable dirt nap so it is what it is with us.

So far, so good with us. I'm not one to play with fire. Learned long ago that playing with fire, chances are you'll get burned.

My view is none of them have a clue so I don't bother reading it.

Yep, fingers in ears, head in the sand. We get it flip. What makes this so funny is in January you were saying "I'm not changing for some Chinese flu bla bla bla". What changed?

 

[NHSleddog]

Unfortunately MOST people are really bad at math so they are very easy to scare.

Also bear in mind, over 80,000 of the "deaths" happened in Hospice and long term care facilities (hardly Covid deaths). There are also thousands in the prisons where they let it go.

It is too bad that people are so mathematically challenged.
