Coronavirus
- Thread starter gteeitup
- Start date
There's a new variant in the making. It's called Mu. Plus 2 FDA officials have resigned due to the gubment pressing the booster without FDA approval. That's all I got.
That's not really enough to set my hair on fire. You got any other grim news regarding COVID you can feed me? I want it. I need it.
Not covid related but I did hear some old fart near Elkin broke his hip yesterday mixing up some Metamucil.
I didn't say I would just let it naturally run its course. I indicated I wouldn't go completely apeshit over it, understanding that 1) death is part of life, and 2) our life as a country also needs to be nurtured and protected.
For someone that doesn’t care you sure care a lot. Do you need affirmation or something to help you deal with your guilt?
While someone finds some more numbers to feed @gunslingerdick ’s ego if they come across the statement by the director of the cdc that @bleeduncblue keeps referring to that says vaxxed people transmit covid at the same rate as unvaxxed please share that as well.
Don’t be hatin’.
I know I’m late and you were in on the ground floor, but I have seen the error of my ways and I want to do right by my masters. I have a lot of freaking out to catch up on. I doubt I can pull even with you but I’m going to try. So please, don’t forget to include me in future hysteria sessions with the rest of your flock.
Pretty funny that calling out someone for lying about cdc statements is considered “freaking out”. Wouldn’t the person lying and anyone defending him be the ones “freaking out”? Seems so to me. And if you want hysteria just consider the fact that delusional psychopaths claim the virus was planned to defeat trump. Now THATS hysteria.
After the election, you won't hear anything about it.
I'm proud of you. You managed to write a whole poast without using your abbreviated version of the f word.
As for your comment, Scott (@bleeduncblue) poast here a couple times per week and usually in a light-hearted way. He might throw a shot at the sheeple here every now and then but typically doesn't go off the rails. It would be hard to argue that Bleed's infrequent poasting and mostly noncombative comments are characterized as "freaking out" while your comments read like they were written by an angry teen with red face and steam coming out of his ears are sound and rational.
I would not have hamstrung the economy so badly with such highly restrictive mandatory closures and stay-at-home edicts, and I would not have de-incentivized the work force so strongly to the tune of how many trillions of dollars now? And still counting?
I ran my service company from the inception of this deal with the only nod to Covid being that my people were required to wear masks while inside a customer's home. One employee got the bug and he breezed through it and was back at work in little more than a week.
I am compromised and an employee in the office was compromised, and we didn't wear masks in each other's presence, although I asked my field employees to wear a mask when they were around him; and I only wore a mask in public when I was forced to. The office employee eventually started working from home voluntarily, but came back. We had no problems but I was prepared to face the worst, and I realize that without the restrictions there would have been more consequences. So be it.
Bahahaha that’s fuking….oh i’m fuking sorry for saying it again….fuking hilarious considering how many times you’ve totally shit the bed and threatened people in here. Something I’ve never done. We’re talking Total melt downs with rage posting where you can just about literally hear you pounding your keyboard while fighting back tears. We can revisit them any time you like and see what “freaking out” really looks like. Here’s a hint, most were in the weeks after the election. You remember…the one you guaranteed a landslide victory for what’s his name. Then when it didn’t happen whined about cheating like a ky fan. Oh but you were sound and rational doing it I’m sure. (Cough).
As for @bleeduncblue he still hasn’t provided proof to back up his absurd claim. I guess he was lightheartedly non combatively full of shit.

What are you still going on about? That beef we had this morning? Geeze dude, let it fuking go. That was so 5 hours ago.
But yeah, I would kind of like to see the poasts of mine you're referring to regarding the meltdown after the election. Or just direct me to where I could find that.
A sleeping giant? Uh oh!
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny! She's a winner! And, by winner, I mean a quack.
How a prolific anti-vax doctor, known for endorsing claims that COVID-19 shots could make you magnetic, oversees a lucrative empire of junk science
Sherri Tenpenny burst into view when she falsely claimed the COVID-19 vaccine may make people magnetic. But her influence goes far beyond that.

You know, in a Darwinistic kind of way, there is a depopulation mechanism happenng.
Several reports have said this variant may be vaccine resistance. Wait until the pro-vaxxers hear about that piece of information.
There is one brewing in South Africa, and other countries. C.1.2, I think it's called. Sounds like a lot of fun.
This source says "No big deal":
C.1.2 variant has concerning mutations, experts say, but Americans shouldn't panic: 'I wouldn't lose any sleep'
Researchers in South Africa flagged the variant for monitoring, but health experts say C.1.2 poses no real threat to the US at this time.

This one is not as optimistic:
New South African COVID-19 strain is the most mutated one yet: report
The C.1.2 strain has been linked to “increased transmissibility” and is said to have mutated the most from the original virus, which first emerged in Wuhan.

Now just to be clear.. I would NOT be happy to hear it is vaccine resistance. Only saying if it is those that have been all in on the vaccine will be in full fledged panic mode.. in overdrive no less... hyper speed.
Well, that's obviously way off base on that prediction if that was the claim (although I wished it was correct because it would mean that any crisis related to it had actually passed).
And while covid/delta/lamda/mu is still with us, there IS a clearly different approach about what or how we hear about it after the election thanks to the msm. If nothing else, where are the endless scrolls at the bottom of the screen showing the death totals state by state and nationally? Shouldn't there be a scroll showing deaths BB and AB? If the election went the other way, it is hard to believe that this type of info wouldn't still be getting jammed into our eyeballs 24/7/365.
“Only 42% of eligible Georgians are vaccinated, and you have anti-vacc nut jobs swarming/protesting mobile vaccination clinics to the point they pack up and leave. They are also sending harassing emails and flooding the social media accounts of health care workers with with false information about vaccines. Incredible.“https://www.yahoo.com/news/georgia-health-official-details-incidents-130014135.html
There are MORE than TWICE as many people in the hospital with covid this Labor Day than last Labor Day.
Vaccine/ covid shot is the answer.
Last Labor Day no vaccine/covid shot was available.
2 + 2 = 5

It's easily explainable. 46% of the American population still isn't vaxxed. The delta variant is far more contagious than the original strain. It's slicing through the unprotected portion of the population like butter. Also last summer more people were social distancing and far more hesitant to leave their homes.
I think this will be the last major nationwide variant. You combine all the people who've had it and the people who got the shot, it's going to run out of places to go.
I think this thing is going to end up being more like the flu. It will become less deadly than it is now, but eventually you'll end up getting your flu and covid shot every year. Maybe they can figure out a way to combine it into one shot to make it more convenient.
I am of the same opinion. I just wish we could start treating this as something we will have to live with as opposed to freaking out every time someone tests positive.
nope. That's not it. If you're on Twitter, check out a post from PoliMath (@politicalmath) today. Compares states of HI and TX. HI is for all intents and purposes fully vaccinated. 99.9% of 65+ years old vaxxed. Only 13% of anyone over 12 years old unvaxxed.
TX has 31% of those over age 12 unvaxxed.
The infection rate charts look nearly identical for TX and HI over time including up through end of August 2021.
This is not to say people should not get vaxxed, the thread states clearly that getting vaxxed does help prevent / reduce hospitalizations, severity of symptoms, deaths....
but the vaccinations haven't really impacted infections, cases, spread.
Which just supports what you and others have said, that getting vaxxed is a good idea to prevent getting really sick, especially for those who are high risk. But the US / other countries are going to need to recalibrate. Not think that "if we just got 100% vaxx rate (or even 90% vaxx rate - both are not realistic expectations) -we'd have no more infections, cases, hospitalizations, deaths." That has statistically proven to be untrue.
The best path IMO is to encourage vaccinations and to educate society on how to live with the existence of the virus, get on with living life.... not act like its a crippling plague, where we can't move on with normal life until it is eradicated. It never will be, just like the common cold or the flu.
Like you said, it should be treated much like the flu going forward, IMO.
I agree that people were not out and about ike they are now but I would think with the number that has had the shot then it would be at LEAST close to a break even.
Finally a huge, randomized control trial on masks. 340,000 people in Bangladesh. Basically shows cloth masks are pretty weak. Surgical had an effect though, despite how much "outdoors" and ventilated the lifestyle is in Bangladesh.

Largest study of masks yet details their importance in fighting Covid-19
Scientists conducted a randomized trial across 600 villages and more than 340,000 people in Bangladesh and found that even some adoption of surgical masks made a difference.

Death panels have begun in heavily under vaccinated Idaho. Feel bad for those healthcare workers. Treating the stupid must be frustrating.
"getting on with life" via death panels! Nothing to freak out about.
Idaho hospitals begin rationing health care amid COVID surge
By REBECCA BOONE Associated Press BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho public health leaders are letting the state’s northern hospitals ration health care because there are more coronavirus patients than the institutions can handle. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare made the announcement Tuesday...
