Given the current election distractions, will Democrat governors and their Never Trump Republican counterparts be emboldened to go full lock down over Covid-19?

In other words: BOHICA ?

[fireman15]

This is the biggest pile of bullcrap ever. We are coming into flu and cold season and everyone is getting tested for coronavirus with tests that have an ourageous rate of false positives. Can we give it a rest?

[rhubarbk]

I’m surprised to see COVID back in the news . . . I thought it had been cured.

[JudyinCanada]

If the scent they’re smelling is a stinking, rotten rat or weasel, it’s not phantom. They’re just standing too close to a dem.

[tinyowl]

Some COVID-19 patients report parosmia, an often temporary and unpleasant odor distortion

No, that's real, we all smell it.

[jonose]

We are seeing this jump because:
a. Most people are continuing with life, birthday parties, going out to eat, and so forth
b. Halloween was a big party weekend
c. Masks and ‘face coverings’ as implemented are not working
d. This virus is spread mostly by ‘super spreaders’ not 1 to n.

[LurkedLongEnough]

theoretically — a connection between these and all the former reports from outside the country of strange smells in southeast Asian embassies and on lots of airplanes? were embassies and airplanes responsible for the spread of some chemical agent that sickens people of a certain blood type or race? call me crazy but failure of imagination was the intelligence fault in 9/11

[fuzzylogic]

We should all just move to Sweden. They had 2 COVID deaths yesterday. No masks, no massive lock downs, ...

[null and void]

some patients smell phantom scents

New symptom, new strain?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.

“some patients smell phantom scents”

“My farts smell like roses!”

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Report to disintegration chamber 3! Report to disintegration chamber 3!

I smell dead people!

AAAaaaaahhhhhh!

Are You A Hypochrondiac???
https://www.informationnigeria.com/2013/12/health-are-you-a-hypochrondiac.html

they heap more trouble on themselves by heading to the doctor and demanding tests, medicine, anything that will “cure” them.

The hypochondriac is quick to think that no one understands just how sick they really truly are

HYPOCHONDRIACS ARE PROS AT SELF-DIAGNOSIS

Hypochondriacs are usually focused on more common sicknesses like cancer and AIDS, or diseases-of-the-week like swine flu.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Oh for f#^ks sake.

I get that smell in my nose every time I have a sinus infection.

[robel]

Phantom scents? That’s swamp gas, it’s been growing rapidly the past few days.

[bgill]

Previously, patients lost their sense of smell. Now, they’re smelling phantom scents. This virus is all over the charts.

Here, we’re having another spike with more active cases than ever and the numbers have been going up for two weeks so not expecting a decrease anytime soon.

TX schools are shutting down left and right due to CV. Here, the number of cases have been on a rapid rise for two weeks. After the vote, there will be more. Then Thanksgiving and after that Christmas. Expect more when a large percent comes back after the New Year from visiting grandma in Mexico and bring back who know what diseases. Then the regular flu season hits.

[robel]

You can count on one thing, if Trump remains in the White House, there will be a massive spike. If Biden, the cases will gloriously disappear, and a victory parade will happen, North Korean style.

[vigilante2]

This BS is designed to lock us down

[CharlesWayneCT]

Why would they? They want the economy to go up with Biden, and to be able to credit Biden, so they will now work hard not to damage the economy. If Trump was winning, they’d be locking back down to make him look like he was to blame.

[cp124]

Shut it down for 24 months. Any bets on who survives.

[Jim Noble]

There are many ramifications to the incoming team.

Fauci: Head of HHS

Birx: Homeland Security

Comey: Attorney General

You can be sure, 100% certain sure, that a European style confinement is coming. Don’t use the word “lockdown”, because what we have done up until now is nothing like what is coming.

[DouglasKC]

Nobody dying in the street. IF Biden ends up cheating his way in then you can bet COVID is going to disappear from the news pronto.
