Besides those deaths are mostly elderly people with already compromised respiratory issues ( btw Im not implying you Rusty as one of them) your beyond the age qualification fyi. Lol

The ebola, swine and h1N1 have killed dozen millions combined in America.

Honestly Im more concerned about the growing population of men having erectile disfunction ( and yes Rusty here you might qualify) and that is why I drive a Corvette! Hint!

Zington tell your sister 9/10 of Urologist have this disfunction and most of them wears adult diapers.

A Proctologist ! man...I swear they know all the nerves inside that can tickle your goose bumps.

Just saying . Back to topic.

Yes someone out there are making a killing in making money out of this scare.
Keep yourself hydrated, wash your hands, wear mask if your sick. Drink lots of Vitmain C. Take elderberry to boost your immune system.

Be vigilant.

We got an e-mail yesterday says that if we want out, we can at anytime.

Plus we been getting e-mails for cruises that only go to Canada and the US. No Caribbean or overseas.

According to the cdc, 26 million in the us have gotten the flu during the the current 19/20 flu season. Of that number, 250,000 have been hospitalized and 14,000 have died. Again, thats just in the states.

Oh, in full disclosure as some have required when posting on this thread: my uncle is a Dr, another is a Dentist and my sister dated a Pharmacist once in the past. So....

The MSM can go and suck it!

Updated: 18,000 deaths this year so far from the "pedestrian" flu. And 80,000 deaths during the 2018 flu season. Apparently the first set of data was dated. Still, however, per the cdc.

And yes, the msm can continue sucking.

I saw some research that said only stupid people die from Coronavirus. Here's hoping!

And how many get the flu every year? Millions. This virus is still an unknown. It will be next fall before we know the full scope of this virus. Once they have a better understanding of it. Hopefully next year won't be so bad. Fear is driving the whole thing. It's the perfect weapon. Cripple from within.

No need for the mocking.

The difference here is the potential long term impact it has to the lungs (permanent scar tissues) and that one can get reinfected, which are different than flu. This is for people that got infected but didn’t die.

That’s why this is not our “normal” flu

Fyi: My disclosure is 100% accurate.

Obviously some people feel the need to add their assumed 'credentials' as a way to make their point appear more valid than the prior, or next. I personally think to do so denegrates one's point or opinion.

cv129 · 03-09-2020, 12:29 PM

Don’t forget this:

No symptoms DOES NOT mean you are not a carrier. One can potentially start spreading unknowingly.

It takes time for the virus to get to your lungs, then multiply and develop symptoms. Between first contracting the virus and symptoms showing, one can look and feel healthy but in fact just asymptomatic.

Why does that matter? Because for the younger, independent (single or not many directly depend on his/her care), while one may not worry about dying yourself, one can still spread it to those that are more susceptible to the mortality rate.

Not what I was trying to do, but I know it seems that way. You can direct it at me, that’s ok.

I agree authority shouldn’t be in an objective argument.

Then please attack my argument.

The mask & hand sanitizer shortages I can sort of understand, but what's baffling me is the damn run on toilet paper.......

WTF..... tp ain't gonna stop no virus.... fvcking morons....

Rusty · 03-09-2020, 11:59 PM

At Home Depot. You can't order the N95 masks online. We can't order them for the store either. We caught people stealing them this past weekend. One guy was trying to walk out the door with 2 full face respirators with cartilages.

We have no more at the store. Have no idea if and when we will be getting more. Contractors are pissed.
