Who here has had Covid?

You made it up. Admit it. That is being dishonest.

 

Made what up, be specific... that Dems will do anything to unseat Trump?

 

You refuse to post any data to support your claim. Without support it's opinion. Opinion is made up.

 

Ah, I see. You’re one of these fellas that require proof that sun will rise up in the morning in the East.

Look, the Democrats are all beating themselves in the chest promising to do anything and everything to remove Trump from the White House, been doing it from before the elections. What other evidence do you need?

 

Yes the Democrats will do anything to win. I hear they are even trying to get out the black vote. Fortunately the Republicans will never stand for that.

 

Yes, the Democrats will do anything to win, even if it means putting ole racist Joe Bite_me on life support and mechanize his mouth so it opens in unison with whoever does the talking from behind him

 

You know, if people would just do the things, it would have been over weeks ago.

No shirt? fine
No shoes? fine
No mask? MU FREEDOM **** MY FELLOW CITIZENS 'MURICA

Just. Do. The. Things.

Sigh

 

Sorry. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. In order to convince me that scientists around the world are conspiring against you, you'll have to show me data. I'm a data nerd.

Once two people are in on a secret, it's no longer a secret. Add 10, it's a high risk. Add 100, it's a foregone conclusion. Add a few million? LOL... it would be easier to get all the cats in Egypt into one place.

I'm an EMT/Firefighter for our fire department in Idaho. For the better part of April, my county had the highest infection rate in the nation. At one point, we completely shut down our hospital ER and brought in privately contracted ambulances to help us transport C-19 patients out of our county because 90 of the 400 people who worked at the hospital were sick or quarantined. As a basic EMTs it was our lot to ride in the back with the COVID patients the 1.5 hours to the larger facility. At my department alone, my chief and his whole family were positive and nearly 40% of our duty staff was positive with varying degrees of severity. Our chief of public safety nearly died though he is now recovering. One transfer who did not survive had an 02 sat of 40%. 40%. Typically for us, if someone is satting in the 80's it's a rapid transport. This person was satting at 40 with 6 liters per minute on a rebreather. I've never seen anything like that, among tons of other crazy things. Our county locked down super hard and saw our numbers improve a lot. May was made of hope and we let our guard down. The numbers have since climbed and now the surrounding counties' hospitals are becoming saturated just as is happening in CA, FL, and AZ.

People don't have the attention span for this. They are frustrated, bored, and confused, and it's going to get worse.

Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Make a shopping list. Give people a little space. We could be DONE with this.

No one has EVER been asked to do less.
With Liberty and Freedom come personal responsibility and a little sacrifice.

HOLD THE LINE. This isn't hard.

 

Thanks for admitting you are just blabbing words without meaning. Whatever makes your party seem perfect, I guess.

 

Wow, Dems trying to beat Trump in November = 1000s of doctors and hospital administrators forging data to over-count covid deaths.

That's some serious analysis you are presenting.

 

They are running out of ways to say, "I know he screwed up but I still need to pretend, mkay?" Every time I hear nonsense, all I can hear is, "no, you're the poopy head."

 

I had a convulsive sort of a cough around that time. I was later told that it may have been whooping cough that was circulating then.

 

With fabulous peas!

 

I finally had an employee get it then he didn't have it. He was sick sick last Wednesday and was taken to the ER admitted and tested positive for Covid. His hospital symptoms weren't matching the Covid symptoms but tested again Thursday and was positive again but was rapidly doing worse but not really covid symptoms. Finally a DR Friday ordered a full body examine and they found a tick bite, tested and sure enough had RM spotted fever. They tested him for Covid on Friday, Sat and Sunday, all negative. What the hell? All his coworkers and family members tested negative as well, I just can't understand how these tests can be positive then negative when the real issue is found.

The county I live in is a suburban county with 200,000 people, we have 200 active cases right now. Our positivity rate is right around 6%, so we've done well with little to know shut down but limited seating restaurants, bars etc. What baffles me is why the testing is leading to different results with multiple tests. How can someone sick test positive two days then when its found to be another problem magically test negative three straight days? Have the local college football team tested positive a month a go and no one ever had any symptoms, not one. Paying for positive tests seem to be a bad idea, is it part of the problem? On the PGA tour every week someone tests positive on day then get three straight negative tests and are allowed to play. I'm not a Covid denier but really questions the mean and methods of the local testing.

 

When dealing with a brand new virus, there are always a lot of unknowns. These things take time. That the tests are not completely accurate is not a secret. The medical community is under an incredible amount of pressure to do something now! Prelim trials, test cases, all of the controls that are normally put in place to get these things right, are so expedited, that things can and will get missed.

It's a nature of the beast. We have what we have.

The numbers are not, nor will they ever be, 100% accurate. We've never had a single year where our flu numbers were 100% accurate. They are always an extrapolation based on known data.

All the numbers really tell us is where we are in terms of controlling (or losing control) of the disease. That Florida is on fire, going off the charts nutz with new cases, is not in dispute. Exactly, to the person, how many? Completely unknowable.

 

I live in NYC.

I know two people who died, 7 people in total who had it.

I havent asked them about lingering symptoms but I have to imagine a few do.

 

Back in March, I had a slight fever, a headache, and a sore throat for about three days, then just the sniffles for another several days. When I was finally able to get an anti-body test, it showed as positive. But a couple of months later, another anti-body test showed negative. So even if you've had the virus, it seems you're not safe.

 

It’s thought that the antibodies don’t last long, according to some sources.

 

Does this really look like it's "been blown way out of proportion" to you?

Or do you think they're just making those numbers up?

 

Conservatives said 4 months ago that a death toll of 150,000 in the USA by summer, was a lie by crazy Liberals.

look where we are now.

 

Heh heh ... you do know that the avatar is actually an actress called Clarice Van Houten, right? As seen in Game of Thrones? Of course the character she played was much older than she looked, thanks to a magical necklace. I sure would love to have one of those! Such an interesting character.

 

Do you restrict your reading to only American sources? Wow, interesting. Proof of the saying that in the Age of Information, ignorance is a choice.

 

LOL! I, too, have a cupboard full of chicken soup. I only seem to crave the stuff during winter, though.
