Coronavirus

[garagerog]

I haven't taken a stance in this thread on the politics or even the mask vs. non-mask argument in regard to Covid-19, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, I did learn this morning that an elementary and HS classmate of mine passed away earlier this week in a Portland, Or. hospital of Covid-19 complications. How many in my HS graduating class you might ask? 18 as in Eighteen total in the small eastern Washington farming community school that I attended. No I'm not going to draw any kind of statistical analysis from such a small sample, but still it has hit close to home and got my attention and raised my awareness level.

Here's some numbers.

I'm in Minnesota.

We have about 5.75 million population.

Around 5-6 deaths a day for last 6-8 weeks .

That's  1 millionth of the population each day.

We are stopping the world for this?

More people  die from a heart attack each day and people think nothing of it.

They should outlaw big Macs and KFC then too.

Suicide, drugs, mental health of this country is affected much more than and because of covid. How about medical malpractice? I’m ale a look at that. But we are supposed to follow certain “experts” as godly.

So just found out no lights for 9/11 due to covid. Are you f*cking kidding me? This one hits home. What happened to Never Forget? It’s one to “protest” but a small group to handle lights is wayyy to dangerous? The dems in less than six months have done soo much destruction to our country it’s disgusting and disturbing. I’ve had it

Just had this discussion the other day. You can be mask shamed but try shaming someone for their health choices [emoji2361] now you’re the bad guy

I'm sorry for your loss.  No need to take a political stance or argue about masks.  Do what you know will help to reduce the spread of this virus.  The most effective are basic and common sense. Physical distance, protection and frequent hand washing!

I’ve been stopping at truck stops on my trip East. Mostly loves. In Florida we stop at a chick fila. Their lobby was open. What a surprise. Like usual their drive through was way back there. My wife has the app. We walked in and it was ready. Myrtle Beach appears less than half full, amazing. Mostly every where mask wearers. If that the case every where along with the amount of hand sanitizer I’ve seen. The bug should be gone, right? Right!!!

Wrong.  Wearing a mask and washing your hands frequently have not been presented as being a perfect solution.  And then there is the 1/3rd of the population making a point of spitting on other people in the name of freedom...

That requires a echo.

What’s wrong with freedom? You give that up they take more. It’s there choice not yours. You’re free to stay inside or wear a mask and eyeshielding.

So dramatic...spitting on people eh? So for the past 250 years before mask mandates, it was commonplace for everyone here to openly spit on each other? Really? Seems terrible. It’s a wonder anyone is still alive. We should mandate them forever.
