• Corona-WTF??

    From HusTler@VERT/HAVENS to All on Saturday, September 12, 2020 08:14:41

    Is anyone else getting sick of hearing about this Corona-shit?? WTF? All we can do is wear a mask. If you don't..fine. I won't go near you, that's all. I'll wear one cause I don't want my mom to get it. I don't give a shit how many cases there are or how many deaths it's caused. People get sick and die. That's life. Now the dems are making it a politcal thing. Oh..yay for the Dems. Their going to save the day. I just wish everyone would just shut the fuck up about it. All anyone can do is wear a mask. That's it. It's a choice. You can't make me wear a mask. You can't make me get injected with a vaccine if there ever is one. So just shutup about it!

    The only people I've seen making it a "political thing" so far has been the right, honestly. The fact that the US government has handled the situation appalingly has nothing to do with my political opinion.

    Also, "people die all the time, so what" is giving me some Hot Topic vibes there, my man.

    Hello Dennisk!

    By the way, the show here in Melbourne the ages of those
    who die, and its almost always 70+ and up, mostly 80's,
    90's and sometimes 100's. Yet when I argue that for those
    who are younger, this virus is not the existential risk
    people make, I get arguments. Yet the VERY FIGURES they
    put out indicate this.

    What they are occassionaly interjecting into the news HERE in
    Canada is that even those who sail through the infection, they
    say that some of the people have permanent lung damage that
    would certainly affect them in later years. And if that isn't
    enough to scare everyone, they say that other organs can be
    affected in ways that are yet unknown.


    Concentrate quarantine on the vulnerable, the old, and on
    those who have it, and ease up on everyone else. Put your
    resources where it matters. Instead, the government is
    focused on compliance rather than risk management.

    I have had at about a dozen people walk into my shop without a
    mask. These people claim that they only realize they don't
    have it on because they "just stepped out of the car" or
    something.


    Truly dispiriting, and I'm sick of it. Yet we will be with
    this for another year at least.

    If the virus won't make us sick, the constant news about it,
    will.

    that's the media for you.

    The most recent actual STUDIES I've seen (I long ago concluded most media are either biased or unwilling to put in the time to unpack nuance or understand anything involving science or medicine, and you're best off trying to find as close to original sources as possible) are somewhere in between. Results in Italy seem to indicate that there's lasting lung and heart damage in nearly all patients, but that pulmonary rehabilitation seems to be able to help mitigate the damage and improve outlook.

    TL;DR: The effects are more severe than previously thought, the ability to recover is better than previously thought but requires intervention, and the media is swinging things both ways depending on the network and agenda.

    I was sick of it back in April.

    All we can do is wear a mask. If you don't..fine.

    The masks are just a fear tactic by the Left. Fear is a good way to control people. The mask mandates are 100% political and have no bearing on "safety".

    I'll wear one cause I don't want my mom to get it.

    Which is about the only case where a mask might do good.

    I don't give a shit how many cases there are

    Cases are not relevant. 98% of the people who get it are asymptomatic. And they've already proven that asymptomatic people
    don't spread it. And 90% of the cases are actually false positives.

    The only numbers that are meaningful are 1) the number hospitalized because (not with) COVID and 2) the number of people who died from (not with) COVID. And now the CDC says that only 6% of the deaths are from COVID.

    People get sick and die. That's life. Now the dems are making it a politcal thing. Oh..yay for the Dems. Their going to save the day.

    The Dems never let a good tragedy go unexploited.

    "Just give up more of your freedom and rights and we'll make you safe." Ya, never works out.

    just wish everyone would just shut the fuck up about it. All anyone can
    do is wear a mask. That's it. It's a choice. You can't make me wear a mask. You can't make me get injected with a vaccine if there ever is
    one. So just shutup about it!

    The good news is that shortly after Nov. 4 COVID will mysteriously be solved and the Leftie Media will be harping about the latest hoax.

    The Federal Gov't did handle it by doing the things it's allowed to do. It's up to the local gov'ts to handle things in their areas.

    You see, we have this thing called a "Constitution" which grants the gov't authority over us. The various gov'ts can only do
    what their rules (i.e. their Constitutions) say that they can do and doing more than that is in violation of the Constitution.

    It seems to affect everyone differently, and your own personal health is a big factor. What the news also mention is that many people are walking around with it, many may not be aware. But they always mention this in the context of people spreading it, and the need for lockdown. If people aren't aware they have it, then obviously the symptoms don't always strike hard and for many, its a non-issue.

    I'm not worried about catching it, I think I would rather have the virus for a couple of weeks, get immune and get on with my life, than continue with this lockdown.

    i think there's something strange about covid where it affects people of color much worse. i have people at work who are hispanics that are probably a native american and mexican mix that got it and got real sick. they were young and strong so they recovered. i also worked with a black man who was strong and in great shape and health and it kicked his ass and put him in a hospital. same with his wife.

    i'm some type of superhuman. i rarely get sick other than eating bad food.

    I don't think its persay the color of your skin that makes covid affect a population worse, or less - but rather the health issues that each person
    has.

    I think across the nation, black communities have way more diabetes, heart issues and other pre-existing conditions that Covid affects worse.

    So I guess our points are tit for tat, but... I don't think Covid affects
    BLACK people worse... it affects pre-existing conditions worse.

    i think there's something strange about covid where it affects people of color >uch worse. i have people at work who are hispanics that are probably a native >merican and mexican mix that got it and got real sick. they were young and stro
    g so they recovered. i also worked with a black man who was strong and in grea
    shape and health and it kicked his ass and put him in a hospital. same with hi
    wife.

    I have wondered if it has more to do with health and lifestyle (and access to/wearing masks) than it does with the actual ethnic background. In the largest city in my state, we've been lead to believe that it is affecting persons of color in poor neighborhoods more than anyone else. When they
    show footage of these areas on the news, not many seem to be wearing masks.

    Both my wife and I had it back in late March along with 4 co-workers. We all recovered but let me tell you, it is no joke. It will kick your ass like no other illness. Think of the common flu, now times that by 10.

    Also personally knew 4 people that got it and passed away from it, all were white, good health, under 50 years old. I do believe that wearing a mask when in public helps, but remember, the mask isn't keeping you from getting it, it's helping prevent you from giving it to others if you happen to have it and are asymtomatic.

    And I do believe that we have't seen the worst of it yet, wait till fall and winter hit. I've got a bad feeling.

    The leftie media is claiming Trump can't win. Biden is too far ahead according to "the polls". Didn't they say the same thing in 2016?

    Yup. But they live in a bubble of unreality and can't (or should I say "are unwilling to") see what's outside of that bubble.
