On a more positive note, my wife's Cystic Fibrosis doctors have told her that based upon data from infected CF patients, COVID-19 isn't as life threatening as they anticipated. I wonder if it may have something to do with a medication that the patients were taking. Hopefully, they'll look to see if there are any commonalities with those infected patients' medications and test them on the virus. Considering that CF attacks the lungs, this data was quite the surprise.

That's good news!!

All seriousness aside, how do we get out of this mess?

(I knew you really didn't have an answer.)

We go back to work and distance ourselves from the Chicoms; Nixon was wrong. The sick and infirm should keep an eye out in their locales based on the numbers. The government ought to trust the people that put them into office or the people will ignore them and go back to the way it was and vote them out at the earliest opportunity.

While not a vaccine, we have a three med cocktail that costs about $20 that kills this thing and the earlier you take it, the less damage to your lungs.

I'm one of the infirm people and am not afraid to get it, don't want it of course, but if I do, we have the meds to fight it.

You're on the beach and the tide goes out a mile. Tsunami!! Your business, your home and all you know of life is all within a block of the beach. What is your priority?

1.) Getting to the bank for a Federal Bail out?

2.) Filing for unemployment?

3.) Locking the front door to protect your valuables from thieves?

4.) Cleaning and oiling your Glock? Got to protect my 'things'.

5.) Making sure you have enough toilet paper?

6.) Getting to the market to stock up on grocery?

7.) Changing your underwear? (mother said to have clean in an emergency).

8.) Calling your broker to make sure your 401-K is safely positioned?

9.) Calling in to work to let them know you will be late?

10.) Stacking old people as a barrier before you?

11.) Arguing with everyone about how high the wave will be and being optimistic it won't affect you?

12.) Complaining that your government didn't do enough to foresee 9.1 earthquake 50 miles from you coast and putting you candy behind in a shatter proof bubble.

OR

Getting to the top of the mountain as fast as your little legs will carry you!!

Man...that's a tough one.

Right?

So they just let 250,000 people die?

Who knew....?

Dr Birx has been reported as saying she’s lost faith in the CDC. Their numbers are inflated by 25 percent. In the same article. There’s people saying New York is under counted. Something for everyone.

Yep and some people say it's just a bad flu.

Not the 286,00 dead (-25%)

But yea, some people say that.

All eyes are on Georgia. Remember they did a hard opening. Even the president was saying it was too much. Their numbers are going down.

OK OK

I will jump in again.

The so called experts and all the other wind bags you see and here from are just giving an opinion right?

They are all guessing.

Can we agree that no one knows how this will play out.

So to me it's all talk, just like talk radio-------TALK!

I have friends and family that I trust. The rest of the world is full of B.S.

I live rural and I'm somewhat of a home body.

My biggest complaint is I can't go play poker in a casino and I can't have our weekly dinner with our friends.

No biggie.

I'll go tinker in the garage now that it has warmed up or ?????

I know this statistic is long outdated, but it is still funny.

I keep hearing on Rush, the guy that has 45 million listeners about a 69 pandemic. He claims worse than this one. No shut down. I’ll look it up now.[emoji3166]

Senator Paul brought up the Sweden model in the hearing with Fauci and others. In the context of one size doesn’t fit all in the regards to the US shut down. Out side of the New England states. The rest of the US could have stayed open, or at least a modified shut down.

Some of them, yes, for political reasons. Even doctors and hospital staff suffer from TDS. This next comment is directed to everyone Marty. Never forget, liberals are liberals first. A liberal doctor will put his ideology first over his profession. A liberal scientist will put politics over science. A liberal preacher will put his political ideology over God's Word.
