The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[Commercecomet24]

The coroner validates each death. If they tested positive, it's COVID. If not, it's COVID if they "believe" it's COVID. Was covered in the governors presser today.

Yep, this.

[State82]

Do any of you know anyone who got covid after wearing a mask religiously for at least two weeks prior to showing symptoms? Bc I don't.

I don't know anyone who even contracted it, period.

[Liverpooldawg]

The hospital numbers aren't moving up yet, at least not substantially. A net 4 increase in hospitalizations from the day before is I think .6 percent. Not as good as a decrease but probably in the noise.

I thought it was up over 40 today. I must have misread it.

[Liverpooldawg]

I know several, including some who have died. Hard not to here.

Do you know if they were they religious mask wearers at least 14 days prior to showing symptoms?

Defiantdog and myself contracted it. See previous posts for more information.

My doc said it could be in your system up to 20 days before you show any symptoms. We determined that I most likely got it on a flight coming back from Louisville in early March. So no..... I wasn't wearing a mask at all at that point.

I realize that. I said I didn't KNOW anyone personally that had contracted the virus. And I do not KNOW anyone that has had it. Sincerely hope and pray that anyone that has had it recovers fully, but that was not the statement I made.

[Jack Lambert]

I'm sure you do. You just don't know anyone who tested positive for it. I truly believe a whole lot of people has or has had it and just don't know it.

[DownwardDawg]

A friend of mine has a cousin that has it. Him and his wife both have it. I don’t know them personally though.

Again we don't know the death rate because numbers are inflated due to hospitals coding deaths as covid regardless of they are or not. Currently hospitals are not overwhelmed and other than NY at first their have been very few hospitals that are overwhelmed. Also, vents are in sufficient supply mainly due to three things. One less patients going on vents, two some dr. are now saying vents dint help , and three treatments are working and keeping them off vents. Over 4400 MS people have recovered already
As far as more cases. More testing =more cases. Some symptomatic some asymptomatic. Look it's here and we have to understand that and it sucks but their is not going to be a cure. We have to start moving on.

We should be mass producing tests. Protest that, not just that you miss being whipped by daddy capitalism. The only reason they are pushing to stop having to pay unemployment and such. Follow the money. It's funny, we're a month in and how many people are really going starving because of this? Almost like we do have the capability to not force workers into multiple shitty jobs just to survive. Really makes you think (or in a lot on this thread's case, put your head in the sand.)

We are 2 months in. Scott county has an positive for over 1% of the county. So let's assume they means 10%. So to keep the curve "flat" we are suppose to stay locked up for another 18 months. Sure. It's not possible. There would be nothing to come out to. But maybe socialism will pay for it.... smdh...

You're arguing like it's an extreme measure that I said I want. I simply gave you a reason why you were wrong about social distancing and you took it somewhere else. The reason for social distancing was always to slow spread and prevent the hospitals from being overrun. In the beginning we could have prevented a lot of deaths by being out front of this, but our glorious leader lead us down this path instead, praise be.

And why exactly can't they go to the hospital to get treated?

What part of "If it spreads to much then it overwhelms the hospital" didn't make sense to you? The part where you had to read, the part where you had to open your eyes, or the part where you had to pull your head out of your ass?

I mean really what a ****ing stupid post. I really don't care about your feelings anymore. That was stupid.

And isn't there spare capacity in the hospitals now - according to previous (recent) post in this thread?

And tweedle dee right behind him. Can read the bible but can't be bothered to understand 3 sentences on a message board though. But by Yahweh he'll give his Holy Opinion (trademarked).

It evident how selfish some of you are that you can't think past your own face. Here's something to put it in perspective for you twats.

We've lost more people to corona than Korea. We've lost more people to corona than Nam. WW1, WW2, and Civil War are the only wars with a higher death count. And we're knocking on the door of WW1.

I want you to go tell everyone of the 70,000+ people's family that the virus isn't that bad, just a cough. Or alternatively, go tell an Iraqi/Afghan War veteran that the war wasn't that bad its only 1/10 as deadly as a mild cough, they should get over acting like they are some hero. They died to something that was 10% of a mild cough. Weaklings.

That's how ignorant you sound. If my post makes you mad, it should. It should make you mad you sound that stupid.

You have an issue expecting others to provide your safety to keep you safe? What do you expect from many who have to provide to you to keep you safe and others? Their lives expendable? See the problem is we have a major health crisis but we have a large amount of the population who will be ok if they become sick. We also have an economy that must continue to keep this country strong. So again who should die for you and who shouldn?t?

[Dawgcap]

Should garbage trucks stop? Grocery and convince stores close?

Dan is comparing a global pandemic to a war y'all. Damn.

Speaking of wars, 625k in the U.S. died from the Spanish flu 100 years ago (equivalent of 2 million today) and we still managed to fight world war 1 then and, gasp, attend football games. Geez we are soft today.

Yeah. Shelter in place then meant get down in your trench.

Now we have people shaming people for going to the grocery store.

muh economy must continue to be strong. we must keep producing. we must hit our target or it goes tits up.

i'm an "essential" employee too. Don't know where your rant was going. My beef is with the elite rich brainwashing people to be against each other. protest them, not me.

Also it's amazing how far reaching you idiots are. Garbage trucks? where the **** did I say stop anything more? Seriously, you people are why Mississippi has the reputation it does. You're showing we have earned the reputation of being people who can't read. Plenty of you keep making that self evident.

So we're gonna play a game:

Dawgcap - I said nothing about shutting more essential workers down. You're completely off topic. Your post is bad. F-
Confucius - Good job. Yes I did compare those. But calling people soft because they don't want millions to die is kinda my point of how stupid some of you sound. "Back in my day we didn't give a damn if a kid died, we still kept shooting that arrow into the sky and beating up the ***** who ducked out first." D-
Todd-" Boomers were tougher" No Todd, they were stupider. F-

Or garbage pick up and disposal, sewer, water electricity. No need to mention fuel cause he stays home. Don?t get me started on farmers, loggers and every other bad ass that goes to work everyday and struggles to make ends meet.
Then he should laugh at the poor fools who invested in restaurants, flooring, clothing stores. What idiots and to think we should have our hair cut or God forbid someone going to the baseball field with their kids. Nails, tattoos. Screw them. They don?t matter either. I can go on.
I love this country, I love the opportunities and no one deserves what is going on right now but I can honestly say I?ll never judge or look down at anyone being essential. We all are essential but Dan can only justify who should die based on his basic needs
