Coronavirus

[The Nature Boy]

That quarantine is the stupidest f’ing Thing. Even Cuomo couldn’t properly explain it and just continued on with his comical little sparring with his brother. I’ll still take Andrew over the knitwitt who is running Texas, now he decides to tell people to stay home. Who will drink @ the bars and live music venues in Austin and Houston?

Desantis in Florida just got dropped on his head many, many times

...Tristate area, which was initially the hardest hit area in the USA, but is now showing the most improvement.

There is an obvious connection of course. In order to do better you should go through the worst first… i.e. build a substantial layer of immune people.

 

[The Nature Boy]

There is still not a substantial amount of immune people enough to account for the tristate’s success, it’s not a ton of immune people, which accounts for their low #’s

I am lazy to look for the exact reference, but I read that 20% of immune people slows spread dramatically because this 20% usually include the most mobile people. There is now data that 10 times more people show signs of the past infection than tested positive. Multiply positive tests in NYC by ten and you will have more than 20%

I don’t understand all those #’s u put up? If people in that tri state area of NY/NJ/CT stop wearing masks and start caring less about social distancing the #’s shouldn’t go up then?

I noticed that we are almost the only ones who don't respect the government directives?

I believe that 38-40% of the deaths in the tri state area were senior citizens in nursing homes and they really didn’t need to die that way. Nursing home patients that tested Positive for Covid 19 were sent back from The hospitals to their nursing homes and the nursing homes just weren’t prepared to isolate them correctly. Then the disease spread like crazy.

I just had the Covid Test done at a drive through Covid Specimen Collection Station in CT. Apparently they are no longer doing the deep nasopharyngeal swab. The Covid technician told me the new test was easy and "I was in luck." She took a cotton swab and stuck it into each nostril about a half inch and then swirled it around the walls of the nostrils as if she was mixing a drink. Kind of tickled actually. Not painful and not even uncomfortable. Ticklish. I will get results tomorrow. This is a mandatory test as I am having a minor medical procedure done on Monday.

Quebec health minister goes back to sharing daily Covid19 numbers again after a huge backlash:

Quebec Is Going To Share Daily COVID-19 Numbers Again After Huge Backlash

They pick back up on Monday.

Can you imagine how great it would be if a daily dose of cannibis was the cure by preventing entry of the virus.

Therapeutics are coming along nicely, but there is obviously a lot if risk once someone gets the virus, and vaccines are still a ways off, obviously.

The goddamn hilarity that would ensue if daily cannabis saved the world and the police/military had to guard and protect the valuable marijuana and hemp crops that were put into emergency production would be priceless. Trump and Fauci smoking pot during the press conference as encouragement while Pence looks on and deeply frowns would be the kick-off.

Two researchers hope to use cannabis to 'temporarily close the doors' on coronavirus

Two Canadian researchers have been developing and testing novel cannabis strains for years, and have now turned their focus to COVID-19.

i (unknowingly) have been part of the phase 3 trials for this treatment. will let you know how it works out.

^^^^^^ Up2 . About the news reporting. Not sure how it is reported in Quebec but all we get in Alberta with their daily snapshot is new cases and deaths. What is not mentioned ( unless you dig on your own ) is the age group of the positive cases, if the positive cases had symptoms, how many if any required hospitalization, how mant tests were done to find 50 new cases.
The medias still run with fear, they post articles with doom and gloom and rarely highlight a positive be it with the virus, climate change, now we have the BLM rearing its head in Canada. The BLM had a rally in Innisfail Alberta FFS, a very small town. An article today about the possible mutation had a picture of a bus full of people all on full BIO PPE gear.. Really!

I have smoked for 40 + years and virus free, case closed. ( joke )

I have nothing against cannabis, except for the smell, especially the one that smells of skunk.
I live in a condo complex. We voted against the consumption of cannabis, unless it's used therapeutically (capsules, oil whatever but no unpleasant odors).

Yes I imagine Trump and Fauci smoking cannabis. They who aren't on the same page about the coronavirus, and there with the pot, Trump wanting to hug Fauci in his arms, and Fauci with a relaxed face, answer him "Donald yes, if you have a mask"

I suspect many Covid-19 survivors, especially those who were on ventilators, might be prescribed cannabis for pain management and other conditions. Heck, I'd smoke weed if doing so would help immunize me against SARS-CoV-2

With the arrival of the coronavirus, the phenomenon of disinformation has come into force. There always have been.
But today more than ever groups have formed that believe the pandemic has been planned and exaggerated by the media.
There are a lot of fake news out there.

Conspiracy is everywhere.

What scares me the most is, paradoxically, the arrival of the vaccine. Even with the progress of research, the vaccine is still making headlines.
Anti-vaccines appear, having been in this area, I can guarantee that these people would probably have died from one of these diseases which no longer exist thanks to vaccines.

 

[The Nature Boy]

It’s very scary when real facts and science, even if it is reported by CNN is called made up bullshit and when people you know who are quite intelligent believe that conspiracy/liberal media/fake news bullshit spin

During a surge of new COVID 19 Cases in California the politicians chose to focus on renaming an airport:

California Democrats pass resolution calling for John Wayne Airport to be renamed — Fox News

California Democrats in Orange County are demanding that the county's John Wayne Airport be renamed and all likenesses of Wayne be removed from the airport, over "racist and bigoted statements" made by the American icon decades ago.

Greatwalooo you do not get it at all. What lead to this chaos?

If Trump was a great president he would have calm things down instead of infuriating everyone a little more.

Ho by the way Sene is absolutely rigth such manifestation will lead to a lot of spread of the virus yes. We know now such grouping of people is the worst for contagion.

Jalimon COVID trump est juste une manifestation d’un autre épidémie encore plus dévastatrice : celle de la stupidité.

For the virus I am not into the conspiracy thing, I do believe that it was not handled well by the officials though. In Canada they treated all the areas the same as Montreal/Laval, did not matter if you had 700 cases or 20,000 cases. Drummondville had 250ish cases and zero deaths and still total lockdown bankrupting businesses.
I also noticed that a few states has around 1,000 cases but still total shutdown.
IMO, once a month was up they should have altered policies to fit the area as long as hospitals were not overcrowded, that would have saved the countries billions of dollars.
From what I am hearing is that the state governors run their states, they decide what steps to take, why are some Americans blaming Trump for the numbers instead of people like Como who was clueless for all of this, he caused thousands of deaths.
Anyways, not a single person I know has had the virus or even knows someone who had the virus, weird.
My daughter worked through all of this seeing anout 350 customers during the shift, no mask, plexiglass or gloves, same with the girl at the liquor store I seen once a week, always there and working, again, weird.

My Covid test results just came back, NEGATIVE. Had to text all my coworkers that they are off the hook.
