Here’s a thought.
Make your peace with God now through Jesus Christ, and then leave the future up to Him, because when you know where you’re going, death is not the worst thing that could ever happen to you.
You won’t die one minute before He decides and when your time is up, you have no say in it anyways.
In the meantime, the peace that passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Well, if 69% truly believe that nonsense, and are going to hide until they think their safety is insured, then it's all over.
These are all.excellent questions. I question whether we can have intelligent discussion of these wihtin our political system, since the liberal view is that Trump has made everything worse, Trump is incompetnt etc.
Bottom line for those hoping to end the lockdown and return to normal: 30-40% of the previously productive population is too frightened to end their isolation regardless of what the politicians or “experts” say. What’s more they are now a strong political constituency that will demand continual government subsidies during the “emergency”. It will be a very long time before things return to “normal”.
I notice the article appears to write Medicaid when it means Medicare. Sloppy writing?
Do they realize a vaccine takes 12-18 months minimum to develop and test and that we’ve never been able to create a vaccine for a coronavirus as of yet so it could be many years away?
Maybe the msm forgot to mention that to them while they induced fear and panic.
It’s past time to open up the economy. So far there have been 1.2M cases out of a population of about 350M. And of the people who have gotten the virus only 6% of them die from it. That’s a pretty low percentage.
Compare that against small business owners who are being locked out of their business, who have a 100% chance of being severely damaged by the lockdown.
It’s time to take the calculated risk and open up!
RE: And of the people who have gotten the virus only 6% of them die from it.
That’s a pretty exaggeratedly HIGH number, 6% !
Oh and they can not give me a prescription for the cough syrup that actually works either. It is considered a class something or other narcotic and so is on the list of things they can not write a prescription for.
Just lovely.
RE: My doctor is part of a medical group with the local big hospital.
Is he NOT allowed to have a private practice? Why can’t you go to his home office like many people used to do?
They only think that because they are led to believe they will be getting free money till the end of time. Cut off the BS stimulus funds and they will have a different opinion.
I am so absolutely SICK of all the hand-wringing over this stupid virus. Endless articles pontificating the decisions and life changes... blah blah.
My mother just passed away - not from COVID-19, but from botulism. No home-canned goods and no source we could find. it took two weeks before any doctors even thought about it because it has become so rare (around 1400 cases per year WORLDWIDE). The CDC was involved and even sent the anti-toxin (but it was too late). She didn’t get this (as far as we can figure) out in the world... and who could have ever planned or guessed?
If we live life afraid of the world - we will die alone and broke.
He is not allowed to see patients privately.
Why can’t you go to his home office like many people used to do?
See above.
With very few exceptions all doctors in the area are part of one physician group or another. Because of Obama(don't)care the paperwork has become so onerous that the days of a doctor's office with a couple of doctors and nurses and a receptionist that does the office work are over.
That’s’ actually an extremely incorrect number. The actual death rate for those who are SYMPTOMATIC is now less than 1%. When you factor in the asymptomatic numbers (which we will never really knwo the full number) is less than 0.02%. And when figured as a death rate vs. total population- you are statistically FAR more likely to die in an auto accicent driving to work than catching and dying from COVID-19.
You are statistically more likely to contract a flu virus and die than COVID-19.
You are statistically more likely to die from violent crime...
60 questions is about 55 more than most attention spans will accept.
Really there is only 1 question beyond our salvation. Do you want to live your life in fear and reliance on government; or do you want to live free?
Well, maybe. I've been keeping a spreadsheet with numbers from the Johns Hopkins site. As of last night they report 1,228,603 US cases and 73,431 deaths, which works out to about 6%. However, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the Johns Hopkins numbers.
What do you think is the right number?
