It’s just the flu, bro.

See above - there are lockdown skeptics everywhere. Although we Flubros aren’t really skeptics, we are more in the denier category.

Everyday the MSM is calling it a Corona doomsday. Although we Freepers and Flubros prefer an echo chamber of likeminded people, does anybody know someone who had the mindset of Kodak and then recently came over to the Flubro side?

Link above says Fauci believes no normal until 2022. Anyone care to predict what will happen with Fauci after Trump wins? I hope for immediate termination after the election but even Trump would agree the optics of firing him then would be bad. So I am thinking we will see a mid-January termination.

I am no epidemiologist but I have discussed herd immunity. Anyone think it is possible that Coronavirus symptoms are so mild that they may fail to trigger sufficient antibodies to prevent someone from getting multiple asymptomatic “cases” over a person’s lifetime. This is the ideal scenario for the media as the casedemic will never end due to herd immunity (much like the common cold). The media just has to ignore the fact that people aren’t getting very sick. Twenty years from now there will be media freaking out about a disease 1/5th as deadly as the common cold and still calling for quarantines.
powers that be learned that using the fake news to perpetuate hysteria is an easy peasy way to control the masses
Colorado?
I thought COVID was beaten-down with that miracle medicinal herb we hear about.
Now that you don’t need a script for it.
Just sayin’
Get woke, go broke.
Test positive, smoke dope.
Isht all güd, no?
unless you are trying to hire. Many companies have done away with mandatory drug testing because they can’t find anyone to pass the drug test. Legalization is wonderful /s
It’s not about you! It’s about my grandma! /s
Sounds about like my county.
:: Only thing I can figure is that I am immune to hoaxdemics ::
Pretty good interpretation of what Trump has been saying at his rallies.
“Now, they say I’m immune.”
Immune to hoaxes: Stormy, Russia Collusion, international extortion, COVID.
GEOTUS is winning
Open up the damn country...ALL of it...let the chips fall where they may. Masks are making some people sick. Fortify and use the immune system GOD gave you.
So? People have to die from SOMETHING. If you believe in and TRUST Jesus Christ; you have NOTHING to worry about.
The closer the election; the more the media ramps up the COVID hysteria. Interesting, eh?
Local TV does the same here in East TN...I wonder if local media is doing this EVERYWHERE?
If it isn't one thing...
staffing is a chronic problem. It’s not new to hospitals
In Arizona, cases and hospitalizations are rising. Have been for 6 weeks. I like watching hospitalizations because they seem to be reported more promptly and more accurately than cases. Deaths? They aren’t accurate within the last two weeks. My best guess is that deaths have leveled off. The graph shows them going down but I think as numbers come in - based on watching daily since May - the numbers will level off or SLIGHTLY rise. Rise at a rate much lower than the rate of increase in cases.
That reflects, IMHO, both younger people catching it AND better treatment options. If someone is overweight, this would be a GREAT time to diet seriously. I had great success with Keto. A friend has had excellent success with Vegan. Whatever it takes.
It also looks to me like anything that tends to thin the blood - low dose aspirin, Quercetin, etc - may improve odds, as may mild vitamin D supplements. Worst case, it doesn’t cost much (aspirin & D costs under 5 cents/day) and won’t hurt anything.
Beyond that, until a vaccine is developed (and it may not)...wash hands frequently, avoid crowded and confined spaces if possible, don’t touch near your eyes and GET ON WITH LIFE. Most of my friends are late 60s/70s. We don’t want to spend the next 10 years hiding behind masks and avoiding all human contact. We KNOW we are likely to die in the next 10-15 years and don’t want to waste them watching TV in the basement!
Caution? Yes. Fear? No thanks! The wife and I went to a Trump rally a few weeks ago. Lots of people. Few masks. And no sign of any harm. Going for a short vacation today, to a town and area of AZ that doesn’t give a rat’s rear about wearing masks. Let’s get on with LIFE, knowing any of us could die today! Our bodies belong to this world. Our souls belong to Jesus. Caution, not fear!
Don’t shoot the messenger here...this is what is being reported by the MEDIA. You know it’s manipulated BS; I know it’s manipulated BS, but the public at large..?
Amen. The only thing i have to add to that is while hospitalizations are rising the death rate is decreasing fairly dramatically. This is here to stay we need to live with it
sorry did not mean to give the impression I was shooting the messenger. I was not
Source for the chart is the CDC, and it ignores the notes at the bottom of the CDC chart that the “70+” group is actually 70-79. 80+ is ~82% survival rate last I checked.
Overall population IFR remains at 0.65% from sources I’ve seen, meaning overall 99.35% survival rate, heavily weighted in favor of younger, healthier people. Can’t control your age, but you can certainly control your weight and the bulk of your overall health through diet and exercise. Living clean leads to longer living, same as ever.
Close to half of all COVID-19 deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities, with up to 70% of deaths occurring in nursing homes [https://apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/investigations/spotlight/2020/09/last-words/part2-forgotten-elderly/index.html?p1=AMPArticle_Recirculation] Which means that the 99.4 percent of the country that does not reside in those facilities are far less likely to die of COVID-19,[26] even to the fatality rate of COVID-19 probably being 0.13 percent for people outside nursing homes.

Over 40% of Americans are obese, and(along with hypertension) this condition - which the shutdown fosters - is a primary factor relative to serious and fatal COVID-19 infections. Research shows that people with obesity were more than twice as likely to end up in the hospital and nearly 50 percent more likely to die of COVID-19.[97] Another study finds that more than 77 percent of 17,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States had excess weight or obesity [https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/health/coronavirus-obesity-higher-risk.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/health/coronavirus-obesity-higher-risk.htmlhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/obr.13128]

And related to "its not just your body," while we seek to save lives, 7,000 Americans die every day in the US from a wide range of causes [https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm] - besides over 2,000 a day being slain in the “quarantine” of their mother’s womb [https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states] - my prayer is that all sinners will come to repentance and faith in the risen Lord Jesus and be baptized and follow Him.
