Yup, the whole world has fabricated this event, just to hurt Trump.

Look up H1-N1. I rest my case.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

Yup, H1-N1 was also fabricated to hurt Trump.

Last post to you. 300K hospitalizations, about 16K deaths, millions affected just in the US. Obama was president the media praise him for calling an emergency after 1000 deaths. Not much news coverage. No panic, not much change. No gearing up for the next pandemic, Right now there’s 200 cases of new cases every year. It probably gets lumped in to the other 19-30K flu deaths a year. So yea probably has nothing to do with the mostly liberal news media or Trump being president. Silly me.

Honestly, a 2٪ death rate to mostly the already weak and sick is a really shitty bioweapon. You could show the same general stats for flu every year for a news headline (why dont they?). Dallas mayor just closed everything and stated that they were now the most aggresive city in TX vs covid19. LOL! This is 100٪ political...

Ops, couple of decimal off. OMG I made a mistake. :) 10 in 100. Yep that's worse. You do know that antibiotics are ineffective against viruses I'm sure. 

 

My Grandfather (maternal) was in the service in 1919. They stacked bodies like cord wood where he was stationed. He was one of those bodies on the stack. Month of November. About 30 minutes later he walks back in the barracks fevered out of his mind butt naked asking where his clothes were. Nurses dropped. He stuck around till 1957. 

 

 

 

I do know that It is not the virus that kills you, it is the complications that can develop from the viral infection.... especially in the older crowd ....and antibiotics are excellent for treating bacterial infections like pneumonia. If you development a lingering viral infection and unchecked congestion ..... antibiotics will be prescribed, otherwise unchecked you'll drown in your own juices and/or from congestive heart failure.

Thank God,we have come along way,ain't nobody putting leeches on me,so,I just got back from the store,no shortage of t.p. here,so I'm good to go,pun intended

Come a long way?.....not so when it comes to leeches! Leeches are considered a medical device and as such regulated by the FDA.  Actually specially bred for use in some post op surgeries and injuries to remove infected blood and promote wound drainage.  Also good if you have a really bad black eye.

 

Crazy medicine? Well so is Crazy Glue which is frequently used to seal off brain aneurysms by neurosurgeons.

And yet, just today Trump is saying this problem can last until July or August, and that gatherings should be limited to under 10 people.

 

I guess he's in on the plot to destroy himself too...

He has no choice. Imagine the media if he did exactly as Obama did. Same media, same democratic leaders in congress. Exactly the same.

It’s easy to look up. The H1-N1 global deaths were close to 600K.

Yup, cuz if there is anything we've learned over the last 3 years, is that Trump follows along with mainstream media and does what they want.

 

Or he just realized a large part of his base is old people.

This obviously different. When he closed the border to China they screamed. Same old same old. But you can’t be convinced otherwise anyhow. As you can see most people can see it. Wait a week. People are going to say BS on this. I rather take a risk and be free. This is not freedom. I know how to wash my hands.

This is from the CDC website on H1N1 https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html.  There are no concrete numbers only estimates.  The National Security Counsel had a Pandemic division but it was eliminated by this administration.  I won't make excuses for either political party since they're both equally annoying.  But what made H1N1 different from COVID-19 is that it was a form of flu.  The flu is dangerous because when severe it can cause bacterial pneumonia.  This however, is treatable with antibiotics.  COVID-19 is dangerous because it attacks the lower respiratory tract and is viral, meaning that antibiotics will not work against it.  So anyone with damaged lungs are in severe danger if they contract COVID-19.  This is why it's being treated differently.  

 

I hope for everyone's sake that they get this under control and that we were overcautious as opposed to what could happen.  I wish my family could treat this as passively as some, but my wife's doctors have told us how bad it would be if she caught COVID-19 with her Cystic Fibrosis.  And I'm not trying to be a single dad anytime soon.

Trump has been right from the get go, Lessons learned, we as a nation need to separate ourselves, becoming independent from China, we are the most powerful and richest country on the planet and don’t need our resources globalized by China.

The flu needs nothing else to kill you. This and flu - in rare cases - fill alveoli with fluid causing hypoxia needing mechanical ventilation or ECMO. You can catch the flu when you have coronavirus. You can catch hiv when you have bacterial pneumonia. You certainly can catch bacterial pneumonia with coronavirus. There is no sickness that fends off another sickness. In fact, having any infection opens you to other infections, and deaths most often occur with multiple infections - its the straw that breaks the camels back...

Just wash your hands - better than any sanitizer...

 

Washing your hands is preferred.  Hand sanitizer is a good second best when you don't have access to soap and water.

      Gas Prices

      By txab · Posted

      Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off. I thought it was interesting

      Disable AFM for $0: The M5 Method for 6-Speed Trucks

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      Disclosure: BlueV8 is a Supporting Vendor and sells plug-in AFM/DFM disablers.   Before you spend a dime with us — or with anyone — try the AFM disabler GM already built into your truck. It's the shifter, and it's free. ⏱ The 10-second version 🚫 Skip the M5 method if: Most of your miles are highway — M5 locks out 6th gear, so you cruise at higher RPM and burn more fuel You already know you'll forget — it only works if you do it every single drive Your lifters are already ticking — nothing that switches AFM off repairs existing damage You already run a tune or disabler — this would be doing the same job twice ✅ Worth trying if: You want AFM off today, for exactly $0 You want to test-drive V8-only life before buying anything Your driving is mostly town and short trips, where 6th gear barely matters Your truck is leased or under warranty and you won't touch the ECM — this is zero hardware, zero software 💡 The whole trick, in one paragraph Owners across GM forums keep reporting the same pattern: put the transmission in manual / range-select mode, pick M5 or lower, and AFM never activates — the truck stays in V8 the whole drive. Bump it up to M6 and V4 mode comes right back. Two of the cleaner threads on it are here and here. GM has never documented this behavior, so file it under "strong owner consensus," not gospel. The good news: it takes exactly one drive to verify on your own truck. Steps below. What "free" actually costs Effort, every drive. It's a routine, not a setting. Shift to M, tap up to 5, every time you get in. There is no set-and-forget here. 6th gear. When GM shipped trucks with AFM/DFM switched off during the 2021 chip shortage, its own estimate of the penalty was about 1 MPG — and those trucks kept every gear. In M5 you're also giving up overdrive, so expect the highway hit to be bigger than that. Patience. One Tahoe owner ran the L5 routine for two months, then got tired of it and bought a plug-in disabler — he had an extended warranty, so flashing a tune was off the table. That's not a knock on the method. That's just what month two feels like.   I put together the full instructions, limitations, and links to the original owner discussions here: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/how-to-disable-afm-for-free-the-m5-method

      Half of you don't need an AFM disabler. Take 30 seconds to find out which half you're in

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      Disclosure: BlueV8 is a Supporting Vendor and we sell AFM/DFM disablers. We wrote this because not every GM owner actually needs one. In some cases, regular maintenance, towing use, an existing tune, or simply using M5 makes another device unnecessary.   ⏱ The 10-second version 🚫 Skip it if… You keep the oil full and change it every ~5,000 miles. Your risk is already low. You're happy shifting into M5 every drive. That disables AFM for free. Your truck tows heavy most days. AFM barely runs under load. You already run a tune or delete kit. Done is done. It's already ticking or misfiring. You need a mechanic, not a plug-in. ✅ Worth it if… You bought it used and the oil history is a mystery. Checking the dipstick is… not your hobby. (No judgment.) You're a long-term keeper with lots of easy highway miles — exactly when AFM runs most. The V4 drone and shudder drive you nuts. You're under warranty, so a tune is off the table.   The full article includes the supporting GM bulletins and owner reports: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler
