Coronavirus II

Talking about masks ... Is anyone here wearing them when they have to go out to pick up a few supplies such as krogers or walmart?

Yep. Mask and gloves. Put them on in the car and throw them out just before I get back in the car to go home. Touch nothing with bare hands except my own stuff.

I was expecting more checkpoints....

 

[actaeon277]

Exactly. And ask any business owner and they’ll claim their business is essential

I'm trying to catch up on 20 pages.
So maybe this has already been said.
But DHS already has a generic "essential" list.
I was looking through it yesterday to see if my company was blowing smoke.
It doesn't list companies. More like "fields".

 

[actaeon277]

Welp, the government says I am essential after all. Too bad, I was hoping for an excuse to stay home.

metoo.

my house looks like an episode of hoarders. Everytime I take a step forward, I seem to take 2 steps back.

Saw an interesting program a long time ago. You have probably breathed at least one of the molecules of air that Julius Caesar, Jesus, Genghis Khan, etc., breathed in their lifetime.

The **** mixes.

And drank what they have previously "passed".

 

[actaeon277]

It really isn't rocket surgery. Watch a YouTube video or two on how to properly put on *and* remove masks. Practice it a couple of times.

RadCon classes helped me.
Also, gloves, booties, and anti-Cs.

 

[actaeon277]

I'm on the phone at this exact moment to cancel my regular check up with my Doc that was scheduled for Friday. Hell no!

Also... I've been taking my hair down to 1/8" with clippers for 15 years now. Best hair cut I've ever had and the price is right!

Hmmm. I need to call my doc.
I can probably miss a couple vitamin shots. But when they checked me in the hospital, they had to check twice it was so low.

More case/clinical studies posted on the CDC website.

Link to Indiana list of business that can stay open - hint - its most of them seems to me.

Stop subsidizing the manufacturing base of our largest global enemy would be a good start...

Or, apply the rules equally.

I have to comply with OSHA, IOSHA, EPA, IDEM, and other requirements.
But a company overseas, less burden for them.
Maybe they should have that "added" on to make it more competitivie.

 

[actaeon277]

I don't know.. classifying us as awesome is just as unrealistic as classifying us as A-holes. We're just doing our thing. Every generation was given a different set of tools.

I kinda cringe when people say all active duty, and veterans are "heroes".

 

[ditcherman]

Trump's presser tonight was a very different tone. Light at the end of the tunnel type tone.

I have a hard time buying that with nearly 10k new cases in the US just today. Statistically that’s 150 deaths in 2 weeks.
Promoting false hope won’t end well.

I knew some real **** bags!

AG Barr now talking about a "crackdown on hoarders"

new Executive Order to criminalize the hoarding of essential products such as ventilators and face masks for the purpose of manipulating the market and price gouging. Says "it's a crime" that will be investigated by DOJ.

If we're going to go with this, then maybe a penalty for NOT being prepared.
You don't have to be rich to have some cans of food and water in the house.

Oh, that number will still go up dramatically. Testing is simply revealing what we couldn't see before. You have a hard time fighting what you can't see.

That said, light at the end of the tunnel means improvement in the future, not right now. That is not false hope at all.

The key to better understanding this situation is that so many people are looking backwards rather than looking forwards. If you looked forward two months ago, you would have seen that this disease had the possibility to become a nasty pandemic. If you look forward now, you will see that we are actively getting better at fighting this disease and will get past it.

An Arizona man died after he and his wife ingested a chemical in an attempt to prevent a coronavirus infection

During a press conference on Thursday, President Donald Trump touted chloroquine as showing "very, very encouraging early results" in treating COVID-19 and falsely stated that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was working "to be able to make that drug available almost immediately." The drug has been used to treat malaria.

Why are you posting fake news? That is true. If the trials under way, expected to run 6 days, are successful they are planning to expedite availability.

The FDA has been working closely with other government agencies and academic centers that are investigating the use of the drug chloroquine, which is already approved for treating malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, to determine whether it can be used to treat patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 to potentially reduce the duration of symptoms, as well as viral shedding, which can help prevent the spread of disease. Studies are underway to determine the efficacy in using chloroquine to treat COVID-19.

Never Trumpers gonna never Trump, look at Pelosi &Co.

 

[actaeon277]

For ****’s sake, I’m now convinced the Dems are flat giddy over this. ALL of Congress HAS to go! This is going to end worse than the Great Depression. There will be bread lines at the end of this. Hopefully Trump decides to go AMA and restart the ****ing country if those *******s in D.C. can’t get their pettiness over with.

I posted a video in the Gen Politics thread.
The woman that posted about going to a Trump rally and warning the Dems they were out of touch, posted another one about the stuff they were trying to add, and how mad she was.

Personal accountability? Not in this country, mister!
