Huh,how'd we miss that?Oh ya hiding in the closet from Covid

I don't know of anyone who is hiding in a closet.
Wearing a mask and maintaining social distance is not the same thing as hiding in a closet.

You need to fly here and show me then all of the other folks also who have pemanantly lost positions and they can't seem to find this satanic plague.People are repeating bullshit with distressing frequency.I'm using my eyes and ears and asking everyone every day.We are not polluted rubes throwing caution to the wind.Must suck to be the rest of the world.Again tune in the riots because that's what's coming

I know 5 people confirmed to have it. Two of our health firefighters died from it. I live in the NE. Maybe you should fly to NYC or Italy and ask them how bad it can be.

I'm 65 and I'm a teacher. I was already planning on retiring in a couple of years. If this coming school year is nothing but "distant-learning" I might retire sooner.
But if we're back "in school," I'll be back at work. I like my job and the kids I teach. Even the ones who think that there has been a Second Coming of the Messiah.

You’re one of the good ones CW.

It's called a joke. Ever heard of those?

Understood. When you write things that read as over the top I will take them as jokes from now on.

I think that the cases of NYC and Italy are illustrations of how bad it could get--or could have gotten--when few if any restrictions were imposed early on.

If the whole country had just "let 'er rip," we'd likely be looking at the same experience NYC went through taking place in many of our major cities.

Maybe not the major cities in Texas--because, Texas--but big cities on both coasts and in the Midwest and Southeast.

Ok. For the record I am completely against violence or war and never wish someone be killed. It's just a dark joke that is borne out of complete disgust of most politicians. I wish for once in my lifetime there would be a good one that actually was for the people and got shit done for the people. Just once.

When we keep electing people we know are liars and scoundrels because they promise to take from "them" and give to "us," we get what we deserve.

And I know 4 people who had it, and 3 got better on their own at home. Those 3 were all 55 or under (one was 55, the other two were in their 30's) and relatively healthy- not obese, not smokers, no diabetes, no heart disease. For the most part healthy.

And the 1 that I know that had to go to the hospital to get put on an oxygen machine- he was in his early 60's and has diabetes and is at least 50 pounds over-weight. He spent 2 nights in a hospital and then he was sent home with an oxygen mask and was in bed for another 4-5 days and then made a full recovery.

It can be bad. Sure. But for 99.5 to 99.74% of people that contract it- it doesn't result in death.

Hyperbole much? The black death killed 40-60 million people in Europe and had a fatality rate of 60-70%.

Get back to me when this thing kills 60 million people and has a fatality rate of 70%.

Which is what my entire f&&&king point was. You lock down the world for something like that. For something like this? How about no. You quarantine the old and sick and call it a day and move on.

Correct. That is hyperbole. There will likely never be something quite like the Black Death again due to advances in hygiene and medical treatment.

Considering how many people have been highly skeptical and quick to jump on anything fringe-y that supports it, I’m unconvinced there’s some magic tipping point that makes believers.

Not sure this is accurate. NYC and Italy both have extenuating circumstances that made it worse.

Italy has like the oldest population in the entire world. And also one of the highest % of cigarette smokers in the world. Have you ever met an Italian from Europe? They smoke like a freaking chimney. Old + Smoker = more at risk. They are also more social and around the younger folk in both private at home and public- unlike other older populations like the Japanese.

NYC is the most densely populated area in the entire US. Look at LA- LA was hit nowhere near as hard and it has 13 million people in it's metro area- but that population is so spread out. NYC population is densely populated and packed into a tight area of land. Manhattan alone is a tiny little island that has close to 2 million residents and another 2+ million a day visiting for work/pleasure. At any given time you've got 4 million+ people packed into a piece of land just 2 miles wide and 13 miles long.

True. People keep electing these dummies. I don't get it. I guess these politicians are just very good at marketing and lying. They hire great PR firms and spend shit loads of money on ads.
