The facts are before March there were close to zero cases and no deaths. Almost the end of July there are over 3,800,000 infections and more than 143,000 deaths. I think we as individuals are interpreting the #'s as we feel comfortable with. Some are scared to death, some think what's the problem and others are realistic in what's going on.

Lol im still wondering where its at. It must not be as contagious as they say. I dont wear a mask. I work around people who dont wear masks. I never sheltered in place. I have been out and about through out the whole mess. Larry said I'd get it and kill a family member with it. That one was funny. The expersts actually sent home a covid patient to a cancer patient. And told him to figure it out.
Now im not saying its fake. Obviously its not. What im saying is its been way over hyped is all. Definitely not worth crushing the country and its production over. They could have done what they are doing today. If you are sick stay home. Thats not my idea either. This is plastered on my doctors office door. Its on the door at the job site im on. It has cdc right on it.

Some think this is the end of the world. Others think it's a hoax. Like most things I think it's somewhere in the middle.

And the mask thing lol. I remember someone here saying the mask will prevent people from touching their face. I want everyone to watch others tomorrow. See how often people touch their face trying to adjust that stupid pos. They enter a store by openeng the door that gets touched by at least 10 people every minute. (Wiped down pffff yeah right) Then they grab the freezer door. They stand in line fiddling with their phone then adjust their mask . Then they tap away on the credit card reader. Then they grab the same door to leave. They get in their car start it. Pull off their mask. Most play with their phone or worse grab their vape or even worse start to eat. And they are off. I should video people. But thats what liberals do to condemn people. I just observe and laugh as i think about how they are going to their next stop and will put the contaminated mask back on their face. I often wonder are they even washing the stupid thing? Being they grabbed a filthy door handle then immediately start sucking on their vape. Best guess would be no lol.

Obviously you don't live in New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, or any of the other hot spots. But trust and believe it'll be in your neck of the woods soon because of people like yourself.

One thing to remember is the numbers are what they are right now largely due to major shut downs, not just here in the US but world wide.


Nobody can really speculate on where we would be if nothing had ever shut down, nobody ever social distanced, no masks, majority of population not being extra cautious of hand washing and using hand sanitizer etc.

With all of that being implemented the numbers are still not great.


If we had just done nothing at all and pretended it was just the flu, it's not unreasonable to say the virus likely would be very out of control right now.

Covid isn't the flu and its not the common cold like other Corona virus strains. Many people are surviving, but they are still being hospitalized on a ventilator to survive.

It is showing to also cause long term damage to lungs with many survivors remaining at only 80% oxygen

I have heard people quiting smoking or drinking but started back. I was a smoker, do you know for how many times I have stopped and started again? I stopped smoking for good when I have collapsed one day, that day I could have been dead but I was given another chance. It's been 9 years of smoke free now. But the point is an addiction is as dangerous as anything out there.

Being it was not tried in the opposite way of remaining open and working. There is nothing saying that it would be completely behind us right now. Can only speculate.


The flu too yes like Corona can lead into pneumonia which can but not always leave you with lung damage. And yes if severe you will need to be placed on ventilator.
And im willing to bet if and when they come out with this vaccine. It will be similar in results as the flu shot. Hit or miss.

The media has a saying, if it bleeds it leads. As I said before, I prefer to get my advice form Doctors, not carpet cleaners, conspiracy maniacs, or even the media. My daugther in law is a doctor. I've lost clients to Cover 19 here in LA. I've also had a ton of friends and clients that contracted. It's real
I have NEVER said it was not.

Its very real

And being handled in the worse way possible as the response has become 100% political with very little science and critical thinking being used. We are in group think mode.

Its a bad flu. Right now only as bad as the one we had in 2017. As time progresses it looks like it may not even be as bad as in 2017. The difference. Its an election year. Full stop.

Why no lockdown in 2017

Why no masks to stop the 60000 annual flu deaths...........until now?

Why the breathless reporting on every corona death.....they have NEVER reported flu aka corona of different type


Who and where is the critical analysis of the cost of the response in deaths and shortened life expectancy vs the reward of lives saved



Yall have been fooled on both sides of the issue.............JUST THE WAY THEY PLANED IT> NEVER let a crisis go to waste...........always pretend to fail to achieve the desired outcome as the result of the failure. NOT because of the failure itself.............

This playbook is getting so old, yet most let it continue to divide and conquer.......

Carry on..................the busses will be here shortly to take you to get your free meal and vaccine.

There's a vaccine for the flu. You know when you have it. It seems like you are missing the consequences of this virus. Still waiting for my questions to be answered. Your President now wants you to wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash your filthy hands.

You’re absolutely right, I feel the same way, I will always soldier on too, except....
This thing it’s too unknown, it’s like the flu but it’s different.
Like pneumonia, if a loved one gets sick, it’s still bad either way!
Take as much care as you can mate!
As you said wash your hands etc
But for the sake of looking after yourself and family and all of you for the time being, wear a bandanna or something in those places people can cough on your back etc
When we had virus here I hung my respirator around my neck, was enough to remind me not to touch my face and also kept people away from me.
It’s not you, it’s them...hell when we were kids masks woulda been hilarious...or we would have made them hilarious! That’s how I see it now.
Our state has eliminated the virus completely, luckily!!
The state next door has flared up/second wave and it’s like the virus is out and loose this time/community transmission isn’t traceable.
First they said to us masks weren’t important because we had it under control.
Now it’s loose -community transmission they have made masks mandatory in that state...not nice but it’s still possible for containment.
Protect yourself for you mate

I continue to work as well. But I wear a mask and take commons sense precautions. I don't take stupid risks, and brag about it.

Johnny seriously can a person really quit smoking or drinking?


After over 20 years of smoking I quit. Wasn't easy but after many attempts I succeeded. The drinking part I've failed at miserably. :)

Good for you! I quit smoking 19 years ago myself.

No John there is NOT a vaccine for the flu

You have to go get it every year.

And then the success is marginal at best

Stop you BS
