“$500/wk on top of unemployment check!”
If people think that it’s now hard to find food and other items, just wait until the masses start getting this kind of money.
I sure hope everyone (who’s not a FluBro) is FULLY PREPPED by now - it’s going to get rough.
For those of us that dont sew..i wonder if those masks would be a goid augmentation for surgical and dust particle masks
And the point of that comment is what?
I'm looking for a bright side to this and with more immune because they were asymptomatic, that would indicate greater progress in the herd immunity than we currently are aware of.
That would be encouraging.
“The other surprise was that high blood pressure was one of the biggest factors...I had not heard that one before.”
They actually mentioned that from the outset, along with diabetes. ...and my question remains, is it the high blood pressure, or the meds people are taking for that blood pressure? Same for diabetes.
“Honestly, I dont care about them.”
Yeah, but it’s putting increasing social pressure on me to get back out there and work.
Then, when I get out there, they are putting me unnecessarily in harms way because they are not taking proper precautions.
I would mostly worry about the abrasion.
Gas 1.08/gal in one location here. Amazon reporting several locations employees test positive.
Considering that many European countries are so suicidal when it comes to the muslim invasion of their countries, while the answer should be obvious, I'm not so sure it is.
“Cook County Medical Examiner prepares for possibility of increasing COVID-19 deaths”
They are going to put bodies in refrigerated trailers usually used to carry food. 30 bodies per trailer they estimate. I’m sure they could get more if they stack them.
We all have choices to make.
Not trying to sound like a *rick, but its all going to come down to our personal choices.
Everyone needs to decide if you trust your employer enough to protect you. My guess is most people dont.
I dont envy your decision.
Can you grow some?
Container gardening can be very successful.

“Tucker made some great CV points, on his show, tonight...
One that really stood out....Were not getting any good, actual data (like detailed info about cases) to be able to determine where this thing is going, and for how long...Like its a moving target that you can know too much info about...
Same with the immunity question. And, the surface longevity...and the shedding/infection capability timeframe.”
As I noted before, the data is virtually useless, the hospital reports are far more indicative of what’s going on.
But, if you want, have a look at my home page - I’ve drawn my own conclusions based on a number of factors, a key one is that every person on this planet has now breathed the virus, and the vast majority don’t get sick from it. That tells me that there is some level of exposure that gets people sick, and so we can allow some exposure (since we get it anyway)...but we still have to stay away from higher concentrations.
As far as the ‘medical community’, I think the main reason they don’t address your questions is due to their arrogance - why study something (like whether a few virons sitting on a piece of mail) can infect someone, when they already have all the answers (in their arrogant brains)? So they don’t study it...they just repeat stuff that likely goes back to Roman times.
“new zealand going police state”
I suspect that their billionaire class figured out that if the entire country is infected, they will starve, since they likely don’t know how to cook dinner.
My viewpoint is that they cant lift the stay at home order until you can get the health care industry AND POLICE adequately supplied with protective gear
Those are two front line areas we must have and they cant be easily replaced.
It wasn’t sarcasm. I amended it for monetary reasons to young people, but a force of volunteers is a good idea.
The Brits already took me up on it.
Prince Charles has CV.
Good thing they moved Liz away to Windsor when they did.
If Just Harry is messed up in the head now, he sure will be stuck over in Canada. His (and MEghan’s choice) choice to dump his family. Of course, it wouldn’t matter how locked down any country might be if something did happen, he’d fly over for a funeral. Where there’s cameras, so will be MEghan but Archie will be left behind with the help again.
“and my question remains, is it the high blood pressure, or the meds people are taking for that blood pressure? Same for diabetes.”
Yes. Same with cancer. Whether it was the disease or chemo
combo used to treat seems to be an unanswered question.
Most people I know wouldn’t go to Florida if their life depended on it. I only know one person who got it, and he got it at work or the subway getting there or possibly church, as I remember him saying he was going to keep going to church.
I would guess they are middle class. The upper class went to Long Island.
or it could be this”
