If that is true you should not support President Trump for re-election. President Trump gets on TV daily and says the Cornavirus is dangerous.

Maybe President Trump wants people to be scared so they re-elect him /s

If that bacteria is the problem, adding something as simple as amoxicillin to to the malaria juice should take care of it.

Amoxicillin doesn't work for this organism due to having a beta lactamase. Chloramphenicol works well as a stasis agent. Azithromycin works as well.

The wife will need to go back to the store soon. That buggy is only half full.

The Cowells are at two different store. Maybe the stores are limiting items.

Oh, I forgot a step, I took off my mask before I took off my gloves, using the back elastics, not touching the mask. That and gloves went into my car trash can which I will empty in a week or so.

We know you can read. I think they was asking for a link to a reference. Anybody can make numbers up, you really should post a reference when stating facts if you want to be taken serious.

USA Deaths- 11,013

Georgia Girl 2, I come to this thread to get as much information as I can to keep myself and my loved ones alive through this event.

I would appreciate it very much if you kept your out of date information and BS opinion to other less important threads around here.

Thanks.

Sounds great. Make sure to give the pup a good bath to wash off any viruses that were out on him by the vet.

I was telling my daughter that goes on walks with her dog to keep him on a leash and not let people talk to him close or pet him. The virus could get on the dog, then onto you.

She said “Oh - he’s always on a leash!”. Kids. I know they take him to the off-leash area and let him run around and other people think he’s cute.....”

One of the reasons we haven’t had her over in a few weeks.

This morning, reports are Boris is doing fine, awake and getting oxygen but not on a ventilator.

Have a feeling the news isn’t going to be so good in a few hours but hoping he improves. Prayers for him and England.

Save your mask. We hang ours out in a spare room for 3 to 4 days as per the inventor of N95 masks. The “disposable” gloves can be washed in soap and water and hung out to dry as well.

It is easy to get the steps out of order. We went out to the store the other day I was messing the steps all up when dealing with groceries.

I can’t wash him because if the neutering, but I might wipe him down a damp cloth. I might put a touch of Dawn on the cloth. But he will be sleepy most of today and maybe tomorrow, and will be crated in the bathroom so not too much interaction for him for the next few days.

Nice touch with the raincoat!

Just so I get you straight. You are saying this is crazy based on the low number of death.

According to what I understand, this virus kills elderly people quite quickly and can easily overwhelm a medical system and if you need the hospital, it won’t be there for you. Italy is a good example.

I also think the numbers are quite low because of the public health measures we have taken and the anti malaria drugs now being used. I believe the CDC estimates take the worst case scenario without the preventative measures. Something you failed to mention (kinda like how the press treated Trump yesterday with the IG report by failing to mention the dude was appointed by a Rat and did his Rat study in mid March instead of April to skew his Rat conclusions!)

I also understand there was no real treatment until learning about the anti malaria drug and I think there are a couple more.

I am just not sure what we could have done except for public health measures to get us to a stage where we can come up with drugs to fight this.

It seems to me that you would rather have us not take all these measures and allow millions just die just to keep things rolling along?

I don’t think that was a feasible option in this case.

What is feasible, I think is Trump’s plan to use medications, quicker turnaround testing and antibody testing to open us back up sooner.

My husband set a little clothes line up outside.

Also we live in PHX so the sun gets baking starting very, very soon.

There is a basic rule of logic:

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

The burden of proof is on you to explain why every government in the world has gone bats&^% insane over nothing.

It is not enough to argue they made an innocent mistake—you must demonstrate they plotted together to lie to their populations—and did so as part of a concerted effort aka a conspiracy.

Go for it!

My son is in his 20s and I have to remind him all the time about being safe. He thinks nothing about running into Lowe’s, or running to the grocery store on a whim. I bet he doesn’t wipe down anything. But at work he has to wear a Tyvek suit and full face respirator (starting this week). Like you said, kids 🙄

“CDC estimates from Oct 2019 to March 28th that 38-55 million people have contracted the seasonal flu and 24,000-63,000 have died. Thats with an available vaccine. In 2018 80,000 people died from the seasonal flu. Hardly got a mention in the news.”

So again you disregarded the data I posted to you regarding why this is not the flu and what would happen if the US, never mind the rest of the world, followed the FluBro doctrine. But the reason the flu doesn’t make the news (it did, actually, but in your tiny self-absorbed universe it wouldn’t have impinged on your awareness) is because it is endemic and can’t be avoided except by following many of the same rules we are asked to follow now.

“Now 7300 people have died from a flu virus and the whole country has shut down. Its the most insane thing I have witnessed in my adult life. And even scarier is observing how easily an entire population can be persuaded to hysterically huddle in their homes and blindly believe all the crap coming from the news stations they routinely scorn as fake news.”

You also ignored the updated number of deaths I posted. Now it’s over 11,000. That’s in 6 weeks since the first death in the US was reported. Mostly in the last 2. Is that number “too scary” for you?

How many people have to die before you stop being an idiot about this and take it seriously? Or do you have to catch it yourself? Are you out working or are you sheltering?

We are now at 0.89 H1N1s.
