Its just the flu, bro.
Gyms should be open in Texas on Monday. Cases have actually been climbing slightly in Texas (but still a low number) so I am glad Abbott is ignoring that and opening things up.
Is one good outcome that we will have from this CV fiasco that people will be more aware of vitamin D deficiency? I have heard from our family doctor for years that just a majority of the US is deficient in Vitamin D. All of this talk has inspired me to get sun everyday and to be thankful that I live in Texas where you dont freeze to death when you go outside.
Thank you for at least posting a polite, well written and respectful dissent from my opinion. That makes you very much unlike most Fearbros.
You’re entitled to your opinion and I have absolutely no issue with you personally.

All the best McFrog. We have to save this Republic and we can’t have enough FRiends.
LoJack is one hit wondering on another thread where there is a well vetted discussion as to the over counting of cadres and deaths. He is violating his oath elsewhere. Im sure he will be by soon
Please read the well vetted article on the cross over counting of deaths. Please see that Cuomo on April 3 chances how SNF deaths we handled (essentially shifting to hospital deaths and ignoring they were Nh)
If you cant se that the data are overinflated and mischaracterized for maximum panic, then you continue to promote your own moronic thought processes. The mark is wisdom is admitting you are wrong. The mark or adult is open mindedness
Therefore you remain a dumbass child.
My wife and I went for a checkup a couple of months ago. We were both found to be severely vitamin D deficient, even though she spends a lot of time outdoors with her horses. Our doc prescribed 50,000 IU a week for eight weeks, then 5,000 IU a day forever to both of us. We are in the mid-Atlantic area.
It seems to me a post describing folks holding a differing opinion as morons is not particularly polite or respectful.
Over counting won’t remove tens of thousands of deaths due to the ChiCom Virus.
No way look in the mirror and ask, “How could I walk right into it like such a dumbass.”
Wonder if the prevalent vitamin D deficiency in the USA has anything to do with continual use of sunscreen every time people go outside.
Its your chronic accusations of it. It being the flu and your petulance about it. Since there is little doubt the data are flawed and overinflated you and LoJack cannot continually pimp data that conflates the actual clinical picture. Your main premise is that flubros are ignoramuses because the will not accept the tyranny based on bad data.
Since it is now reasonable to accept that true death numbers are more like 48,000 - 52,000 it is definitely on par with an influenza season.
As numbers of testing increase and we find the norm is asymptomatic then we can only assume that there is other issues at play to stoke fear. Its the difference between a clinical and political analysis
Your response to buckey is not unreasonable. We can do agree. I will dial back my rhetoric because I agree with you fully on one point. We must save this republic now at all costs. We are teetering. I am baffled on who we can be teetering on what I will call dubious data.
Be well
That makes sense, though my wife hardly ever puts it on.
In working class areas of New York City, subways have never stopped being crowded over the last 2 months, especially since they cut service, especially during rush hour, and especially as more and more people are ignoring the shelter in place recommendations..... It’s funny how members of the “lockdowns work” cult are convinced that allowing stores, restaurants, and hair salons to open in Georgia before some arbitrary benchmark was met, is going to lead to a death spike, yet riding crowded subways in New York City has got to be at least as risky as getting your hair cut in Savannah.... meanwhile, the death rate in New York has been steadily declining for the last month, and would probably be a lot less by now if Cuomo had protected people in nursing homes
Sunshine = Vitamin D and UV. I’ve gotten a good dose of sun, and will continue to do so. Possibly even too good, but what the heck. Outside is where it’s at!
Also taking a multivitamin now with a higher level of Vitamin D and Zinc, just in case. One of those “don’t necessarily need it, but it won’t hurt”. And given my eating habits sometimes, there are undoubtedly gaps that need filling at times.
If he were wise, he'd build well outside of the city limits, outside of the reach of crooked local politicians to the greatest extent possible.
So the stats about flu mortality were always made up, but with Covid-19 the same people who gave us those bogus flu stats are right on the money?
Just a little something I learned in kindergarten. If you really want FRiends stop calling them morons. Ideas presented without the invective has more impact than those presented with vulgarities and name calling. I have been called so many names by fearpers i have started automatically skipping the posts of the worst ones. I have better things to do with my time
Interesting. I’ve been taking 5k a day for years on my own. I get outside a lot too.
Interesting - my multivitamin provides 2000 IU of D3.
I've been reading a lot of labels lately - seems like a lot of foods do NOT have much Vitamin D in them. Milk does, but I don't drink it in great quantities like I used to.
I got a fever and the only thing that will help is more panic porn!
And overcounted Wuhan Cooties numbers.
