CoronaVirus

Just read an article. In it, it said that people who have recovered from this virus have reduced lung capacity of 20% to 30%. But it's still too soon to know how long this reduction will last or if it's permanent.

Symptoms.

Cough that's wet. Feels like something came up from the lungs.

Fever. Most say this is the worse part of it.

Shortness of breath. Even after being recovered.

Everything is in the lungs. Nothing in the sinus like a head cold.

This just pissed me off.

Using the virus to bypass the 2nd Amen.

Today, an ordinance has passed in Champaign, IL, to empower the mayor to “[o]rder the discontinuance of selling, distributing, dispensing or giving away of … firearms or ammunition of any character whatsoever.”

Is this legal? A mayor can override the constitution?

No, it is not. The 2nd Amendment gives the right to keep and bear to the People - not to the States and certainly not to cities. As with the 1st Amendment, the States can regulate the misuse of speech and guns (eg, shouting fire in a crowded place, shooting someone without justification, etc) but they can not regulate their possession or normal use. I am very disappointed that the NRA or other similar group has not pressed the matter and taken a case to the Supreme Court.

That was in Louisiana, which is not part of America but rather a third-world country.

Yes they did. They went door to door.

They should have been handing out guns instead.

The NRA is taking it to court.

I haven't seen anything on this. Do you have a link handy?

Edit:
Found this: https://www.wandtv.com/news/executiv...a7f3b3aee.html

tl;dr: The town has only declared an emergency. They haven't actually put any measures into effect. Their ordinance does allow them to stop firearm sales but they're not doing it.

Interesting take on the virus.

I bought a 12 pack of large rolls (between the smallest and biggest sizes). Been over a year since I bought the pack. Barely half gone now - I should be good through Christmas at least. No females in the house though. Makes an enormous difference.

the picture doesn't do it any justice - it's almost like a large pizza when looking at it. when putting it on the stand that it comes with, which is surprisingly nice and sturdy, it sticks out like a sore thumb and wifey said it had to go bye-bye

so out of sight and out of mind again I guess.

and wtf lol I sh!t twice a day and tend to go through TP like crazy, so i'm used to loading up. I actually get panic attacks when we're low on TP lol

LMAO! and back to skid marks and strippers!

…..really? stealing TP out of the bathrooms? lol

or maybe I can use them to pay for lap dances and motorboats at the strip club - apparently, it's gold now. i'll make it rain TP, and a few spitwads!

The latter part of this post regarding the symptoms actually made me feel a lot better. I think I'm coming down with a head cold (tingling of the throat and a headache), and was starting to get worried that maybe I got this Wuhan sh!t.

I'm still jogging roughly 3 to 4 miles a day and have no problem doing it breathing-wise, so I guess that's a home-made coronavirus test? lol
