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.

69 percent of 2,394 registered U.S. voters polled said it is “necessary” to develop a coronavirus vaccine “before we reopen the economy.”

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?

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!

My doctor is part of a medical group with the local big hospital. He has been furloughed along with all the other PCPs. This means that if I want to get normal care for my annual bout of bronchitis I have to go to urgent care and sit several hours with all the sick people rather then being able to call him, tell him what I have and have him call my usual prescription into the local pharmacy.

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.

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.

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?

This cracks me up.

There has never been a successful CoV vaccine, for a variety of reasons.

I think the probability of durable immunity from a SARS CoV 2 vaccine is <10%, yet people ask me every day, "how long until the vaccine is ready?"

What are they supposed to do with the correct answer, which is, "never"?

My answer to the questions are to quit using seniors as scapegoats. Life is not without risks. Let the population free.
