Coronavirus

[Womaniser]

I wouldn't want you to work as mechanical or electrical engineer either, however, I would think that as a civil engineer, you would be qualified to oversee an engineering firm in general. Visionary leaders can succeed and serve as agents of change without necessarily having industry-specific experience. At times, this even helps to get an organization (or in this case a government) out of a rut. Perhaps this is the intent with Atlas. Leaders without specific industry experience can be surrounded by experts who can fill any gaps.

Remember, scientists are usually kept locked away in basements to develop their trade, at which point it handed over to company CEO's to decide how to move forward with it. The main reason, they have vision for the WHOLE picture, that scientists generally lack.

Fauci, like many here, dismiss the considerable and widespread tragedy that has become the biproduct of the current narrow minded approach to this pandemic.

I am watching a documentary on Trump presidency.
Particularly the press conference in April when he suggested disinfecting lungs with Lysol or other equivalent product.
If only americans would have followed his expert advice, there would not have been 235000 deaths as of now.

Trump said today that the death number is greatly inflated by doctors who are paid more if they declare deaths by Covid.
What a dishonnest crazy man !

Donald Trump jr. Said on Fox yesterday that Covid deaths have dwindled to almost nothing because we've gotten control of this thing.
About 1000 deaths reported that day.
As we say : the apple never fall far from the tree.
He is perhaps crazier than his father !

And here I thought we were talking about Atlas, but sure, why don't you use this opportunity to digress and whine about Trump again.

You and your brethren need to toughen up, thicken your skin and deal with the world around you. You can start by voting Nov 3. Outside of a few, I'm sure no one believes he actually meant to drink the stuff. It will help if you stop taking him so literally.

For example, if I took your moniker literally, You and Trump would be indistinguishable to the point that I'm surprised you don't idolize him.

Urban Dictionary: WOMANIZER

Men who are emotionally unavailable, due to patterns of dysfunctional love. Unpredictable, dishonest, high ego, charming, full of charisma, completely irresistible, extremely seductive. They hold your attention like nobody else, all out of an unconscious desire to prove constantly that they are...

Little clip I found that makes sense, some may get it.


SPEAKING OF WEARING MASKS ME AT RESTAURANT: Hostess: ok, I can seat you at this table right here (4 feet away), but I will need you to wear a mask to the table. Me : what happens when I get to the table? Hostess: you can take off the mask. Me : then it is safe over there? Hostess: yes. Me : are those fans blowing above the table? Is that the air-conditioning I feel? Is the air circulating in here? Hostess: no words. Confused look. ME AT GROCERY STORE: Why is there plastic on the payment keypad? Cashier: to protect people from Covid. Me : but isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad? Cashier: no words. Confused look. ME AT DRIVE-THRU Server: (holds a tray out the window with a bag of food for logical friend to grab) ME : why is my bag of food on a tray? Server: so I don’t touch your food because of Covid. Me : didn’t the cook touch my food? Didn’t the person wrapping my food touch it and then touch it again when placing it in my bag? Didn’t you touch the bag and put it on the tray? Didn’t you touch the tray? Server: no words. Confused look. Life is hard for logical people right now. We are being raised without the ability to process and execute logic.

UK announces second lockdown as COVID-19 cases surge

About 25,000 new cases of the disease are being reported each day in the U.K. Daily hospital admissions are nearing 2,000, and deaths have reached about 200 daily.

UK on lockdown:

Like all varieties of Corona virus. like cold and flu bugs, the covid19 virus is mutating. A new variety first appeared in Spain and now is rampant in Europe. It seems to spread easier than the older version and is causing a second more deadly wave. As far as we know it hasn`t landed on American shores yet but its only matter of time. A vaccine will have a tough time controlling a virus that mutates as often as a cold virus.

Incorrect, Coronavirus is nothing like cold and flu bugs, also known as Influenza H1N1. Influenza H1N1 and Coronavirus COVID-19 are completely different. The last influenza pandemic (Spanish Flu of 1917) isn't even close to the current Covid-19 pandemic. 500 million died in the Spanish Flu as it mutated quickly into 2nd and 3rd waves. When compared to the common flu, Influenza, the corona virus is slow to change. COVID-19 is very serious, but is nothing like the cold or flu bugs, not even close.

Looo its time you got educated about the common cold. While the majority of colds are caused by the rhinovirus, several other viruses like coronaviruses, cause colds too. Most types of viruses, if around long enough, will mutate.
They are more similar than different.
There are different strains of coronavirus that have been around for years. Covid19 is new and its definitely mutating as it spreads .

Coronavirus Testing Site Opens at Logan Airport

Boston Logan International Airport on Wednesday opened a new coronavirus testing site, becoming the latest airport to offer the service to travelers amid an ongoing swoon in air travel. XpresCheck, a health and wellness firm, began building the testing facility earlier this month at the...

Wednesday (October 28th) marks the official opening for airport and airline employees to get tested for coronavirus at Logan.

This Article quotes $200 for a Rapid Test.

Coronavirus Testing Starts At Boston Logan Airport

Those who are tested using the PCR test or blood antibody test can expect results in 1-3 days and a cost of $75. Results for the rapid molecular test, which costs $200 upfront, would come back within 15 minutes, Satzman said. Travelers can schedule a test ahead of time online or walk up and get a test.



^^Seems a little pricey for the $200 Rapid Test.
Hopefully this price will come down.

That’s a lot of $$. U pay like $250 RT getting from pt a to b, and then pay another $75 worse $200 on top of that?

Some people really don't believe in Covid, they even elected at the congress M. David Andahl who died of Covid in early October.

Damn, new record

Britain records 492 Covid-19 deaths in highest daily toll since May

Figures show the number of lab-confirmed victims today is the most since 500 were announced on May 19. More than 1,000 Brits succumbed to the disease each day during the peak of the first wave.

[The Nature Boy]

Yup, yup. But the link also does mention

“Britain today recorded another 492 Covid-19victims in the highest daily death toll since May — but infections are no longer spiralling.”

Just mentioning that for completeness sake

So again, damn, that’s a lot

Covid-19: Virus is out of control, White House admits

Although if you wear a mask, practice social distancing, wash your hands, u can come out safely from the inside of the closet to the outside. Especially if there’s low virus circulating in your community

 

[fromtheoutside]

The article also says: " Revellers packed out pubs this afternoon as they get the last rounds in before England nosedives into a second lockdown. Britons today also stocked up on clothes and homeware, getting ready for their last night out and squeezing in a final gym session for what is the 'last hurrah' for millions."

Yup, yup, that will help the count. Oh well, not a bright bunch those brits. Must be the uneducated working class. I hear from another thread that that group doesn't make good decisions.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Sounds like UK actually acknowledging presence of an airborne highly transmitted pathogen that may kill lol

LET ER RIP!!

 

[The Nature Boy]

Wasn’t there a study that recently showed secondary to a planes filtration system its highly unlikely to get transmission on plane?
I think if your gonna be tested before you get on, after you get off and you will be in relative isolation like on a beach in Turks and Caicos for 10 days, why not?
