We better hope heat has an impact, I'm old enough to know there is nothing worse than a summertime bug.  If this mutates faster than science, we won't be able to keep up.

Lots of those "we just want to get back to our lives, we'll follow rules so we can do that" people out there...

 

Michigan: Person shoots guard in the head when he won't let them into store without a mask.

Beaches/Parks: Everywhere, not a lot of social distancing, bazillion warning given out.

Oklahoma: officials had to remove regulations for wearing masks because workers in multiple stores and restaurants were being threatened by people not wearing masks

Texas: A  park ranger telling people to disperse into a park to maintain social distancing, is made fun of, and pushed into a lake.

 

Truly special people.  You have zero guesses who their god is.

There is confusion when citizens and local gov interpret the Proposed federal Guidelines for restarting the economy any way they want.  The Guidelines should have been a hard document to be interpreted only by the federal gov.  The Guidelines allow the federal gov to back protestors or local gov.  The answer to restarting the economy is not coming from the federal gov, everyone should know by now that unless a majority of the citizens get on the same page locally, a consumer like me will not have the confidence to go out and spend.

Sorry Zip. Mostly cut and paste from the CDC site to correct misinformation.

Not you man, it's me. Over 4 decades of a military environment made me a to the point person.  My wife continues to work on that.

"Truth, you can't handle the truth"!

 

Don't know why that popped into my head

[Grumpy Bear]

Ya know people, once the  gets just ankle deep you can't see the floor anymore. It's kind of the point of  isn't it?

 

The real experts tell us 'I don't know'. The 'other' experts agree on nothing. The 'news' experts are paid. Anyone with an axe to grind has an expert. There's even experts to discredit experts.

 

Dad use to say, "An expert is a drip under pressure".

Don't change, that's a nice quality to have.

Arkansas did not have a state lockdown.

80 deaths.

 

Oklahoma has a state lockdown.

230 deaths, only 25% more population than AR(50% less related (it's a regional joke)

 

with the correction(which isn't being reported, go figured), the death countbhas been lowered by 30k.

17-18 flu was worse

In my opinion, nothing should have been on lockdown, Arkansas has a low death rate.  Sweden didn’t lockdown, they did herd immunity,  of course the immune compromised folks were protected.  Why couldn’t we have done something like this?   So many ppl were sick in dec-feb including myself, never in my life was i ever That sick before.  I’ve like many that were so sick probably already had this.

I agree with that statement, had something at the end of March that I could not shake.

 

Missed more time from work that I have in the last 25 years combined, could not see a doctor in person, so did a virtual visit, which was a waste of time.

Then finally was able to do a Zoom meeting with my real doctor, she ending up prescribing a powerful antibiotic which finally cleared most of it out of my system.

 

But my question has been all along, how many types of the virus (mutations) we will see, and how many will our bodies build an immunity too?

In this country there were as many decisions as you have states, what states did was not the issue.  In an emergency and you don't receive clear guidance such as a  "Proposal", senior leaders had no choice but to make a decision.  This situation could have been worse, states had the option to do nothing.

This is what I was given, need another 5 days work (at least I think so), but it only comes in a 5 day supply.

azithromycin 250 MG tablet

Commonly known as: ZITHROMAX

You are correct, it will get worse, the media will lull us away from it, as they always do, and they will have big news again in the fall when the S### hits the fan again, that is whay I am going to hold onto my pants instead of my shirt

I wanna share a little something with those following this thread, my other half has cancer, diagnosed last summer in July, we were all sick over the winter 6wks just about. I feel like I’ve already had this, never in my life was i so Sick, sick to the point i was home for a little over a week from work.  Those that know me, i never miss work unless one of my kids is sick, they rarely get sick.  My daughter and i had something that she missed almost 2wks of school.   I am not by any means a germaphobe but am very mindful because of my other half’s condition.  He is on his way to getting much better, he was told in July when diagnosed that he probably wouldn’t see sept/October of 2019.  By me telling everyone this, because of his issue, i freak out and don’t let him go out to stores to do normal everyday living stuff.  I go out and do it all. I’m pretty sure if i wasnt As sick as i was Over the winter, i would Have caught this by now when I’m out and about

I admire the attitude, and that is how I have been treating things, tired of living in fear.

 

Hopefully, you had the bad strain and your body will fight off lesser versions of it.
