It’s just the flu, bro.
A few things:
1. Some study in the Bay Area showed antibodies are widespread and there could be 85 people who have it for every one person who was tested - good news as it shows that its lethality is about the same as the flu.
2. Texas didn’t go far enough with their announcement on reopening.
3. Healthcare workers are getting laid off or are on reduced hours - checked two clinics yesterday and one was closed and one was half hours due to reduced number of patients during Corona. They flattened the curve so much that healthcare workers are getting laid off.
I was being facetious.
:)
I was completely prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse and this has left me underwhelmed.
Sorry for the TMI, but years ago a quack doctor prescribed me a med I should have NOT been given and the side effect was OCD.
For a couple years, I was a compulsive hand washer...the scrub til you bleed kind.
Thankfully, it worked itself out of my system and I went back to my half-ass yeah, maybe I’ll rinse my paws a little after dirt gets on them....or not.
And look at me now...being told I MUST go back to that crazy OMG There are things on my hands that will kill me! place.
Yeah.
No.
I had to wait 9 days and 23 hours to *finally* be approved for the rabies vax series after tangling with rabid raccoons in my yard.
This does not scare me.
Perspective.
Rock and a hard place and optics...complicated by the lurking Dem vultures just waiting to pounce upon any bit of morbid news.
The man has been through hell.
I see what you did there.
I have never once engaged you in a conversation, rather it's you who feels the need to post to me.
It’s an ancient chinese art .
Many people got Guillen-Barre from the government’s swine flu shots in the 70’s.

You summarized it all very well in your comment!
Well I can conclude you are able to either read an immunology book and copy parts of the immune system or have some experience. In either event you are presenting red herring data.
Nice.
Better look out there Jon. Cletus pinged Bagster.
Which is just as well. There is hardly any difference between a Flubro thread and a Q thread.
Bunch of old hens sitting around a knitting circle yapping about things they don’t know about.
It is amazing that we have to keep saying that over and over.
My point is and has that this virus is not worse than other flu...
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The regular flu disappears on it’s own with the arrival of warm weather.
Do you see evidence that this virus will disappear?
Are you concerned that the number of new cases and deaths doesn’t seem to be dropping even with mitigation?
Those questions are asked with no agenda. I am concerned and hope you convince me otherwise.
Same here in our county, which seems larger than yours. We only get the zip code of those who have it. My zip code has five. Most around me are zero or one. The large population zip code area has all the cases.
Why do you keep beating that drum? Day after day after day...
Not true. Read up on 2009 Obamao flu.
Specifically what is not true?
Too much of FR is like a WWE tag team event these days.
It went on until August.
