I dont know. He's been working this whole time, too. We each have to do what we feel is best. I understand why yall are giving him the business about it, though

Potentially infecting others or having others potentially infect him?

Was he forced to work?

Hey MAGAnistas, here's your chance to show us all that it's just an overhyped flu. Sign up and we'll check in when you make landfall at the end of the cruise.

I'm all for the cruiselines opening up and the customers can have the option of booking with them. What I don't want is for you or Big Brother (the government) to force them to not sail. Big difference

There lies the dilemma.

Why is it a dilemma? I was making fun of people who were whining when businesses were closed. They have opened up again and I had dinner at one.

Reponse 13. My business did not close.

I guess I missed the humor. What were you making fun of exactly? I want a good laugh.

Your Obsession. Response #14. I think I may need an order of protection from you.

I'd buy it.

I think I sense an attempted backpedal

I saw you did get some hits. Well done! I still haven’t gotten totally caught up but so far the responses are fairly tame.

I don't his specifics. In fact he didn't make much ado about his diabetes and working...except to say he was using precaution.

It is perceived you're on the other side of the debate on opening the country up for business.

Also, you made fun of them so now the get their revenge.

Lol so we need to lock down longer because the lock down didn't change anything and now they're saying we're going to have 200K cases per day? I don't think so, I'm not buying it


From the article:
The numbers underscore a sobering reality: While the United States has been hunkered down for the past seven weeks, not much has changed. And the reopening to the economy will make matters worse.

Where Do We Go to Get Our Economy Back After This HOAX?! CDC Now Admits Chi-Com Virus ‘Hospitalization Rates are Much Lower Than Influenza Hospitalization Rates During Recent Influenza Seasons’

The CDC cumulative hospitalization rate statistic must be one of the most misleading I've seen because of how deeply you have to dive into the data to understand it.

It does not measure likelihood of being hospitalized if infected, but rather it is only a measure of total hospitalizations divided by population of the demographic of interest in the flunet regions where the rate is calculated.

Also it is cumulative, so it represents total hospitalizations since some start date. For there recent study, the CDC set that threshold as the date with 10% of the collected specimens tested positive for flu or CV. That became week 1. Then they measured total hospitalizations from that point forward and compared week 1, week 2, etc. progression between the two. That's fine. It's a reasonable approach.

But the factor you have to add on top of this is that the US was under significant lockdown/quarantine during the period of measure for CV. So, yes, hospitalizations are mimicking a bad flu season - but with the effects of the quarantine (and no such quarantine for flu).

It isn't that there study is wrong, but if I hadn't researched how they do this I would read that headline and think that "oh, my chances of having to be admitted to the hospital if I get CV aren't that much different than if I get flu". However, that can't be concluded from the CDC cumulative hospitalization rate data. Rather it is just a measure of total hospital burden to-date.

We slowed it down. And we are going to re-open. Some areas might not be able to stay open as systems become overburdened - but hopefully that is rare. The key is we slowed it down and bought some time. My hope is that we restocked medical supply chains, learned more effective treatments, etc. during this period.

More proof this isn’t as deadly, to the general population, as we thought

I get that but the article was written for purposes of spreading fear

DARPA has a 'game-changer' coronavirus test that's awaiting emergency approval, report says

I was hoping this would be an antigen test....anything that relies on PCR is going to remain severely limited in ability to widely scale....though I will say since our early errors, we have done an amazing job of scaling up.

 

[LouderVol]

There’s no real way to answer this, imo. If everyone stays home and does nothing then nothing happens but by doing nothing lives are being saved.

Say a hospital has 20 ventilators and nothing is done to stop the spread, and 25 people need ventilators those five lives that could’ve been saved by people staying at home and flattening the curve.

Yes but to say we would have needed 25 is a huge assumption. And it stems from articles saying NY was testing the plausibility of two people on a single ventilator to mean they needed 2 people on a ventilator.

Places hard hit, like NYC. are just going to see the spikes sooner imo. But that doesnt mean the rest of the nation, even other cities, are going to see similar spikes.

So assuming we are going to have nationwide shortages seems like a false premise. And a bad reason to shut down the country.

There is a such rush to reopen businesses like the salons and barbershops that the lives of people who work there are given little regard.

That's a one on one sitting. Restaurants are allowing 6 to a table.


I have a professional mullet going that will be cut Wednesday when my lady that cuts mine opens.
