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

[defiantdog]

I hear you but you also need to understand that a lot of people don't have symptoms as bad as you did. Probably the majority don't.

Based on what?

Look did I say people wouldn't get sick? No! Have you had the flue ever??? Have you know people that have recovered from a viral infection?? What about people that died due to an infection? My mother died as a result of a viral infection. My father has underlying health issues. So yes I have a decent experience with both viral infection as well as a loved one with health issues. But I'm not going to live in fear
You and dan the man keep keep bringing fear porn over here and the reality of the situation isn't as bad as you and other want it to be.
BTW. Thanks for insulting my intelligence. I'm sure your a young buck and resort to this childish insults.

The fact that you say hacker is bringing fear porn shows you're not actually reading his posts. Dude has been consistent about the numbers. I'm not going to insult your intelligence and say you can't read. I'm just gonna point out the obvious, you aren't reading. You've decided everything that I say is "fear porn."

Newsflash, I'm just being a fair critic of President Pinocchio. This dude is about to try to get sports to make people want to "reopen the economy." It's sickening to keep seeing this mindset as that is the only solution to help the poor man who can't work. It's pathetically selfish to believe that if someone can't work then they don't deserve shelter and food. That's the root of the UBI argument and we have so many in this country that believe that they'd be rewarding laziness or whatever like that matters. Newsflash... UBI would be enough to cover the necessities. Doing activities would require extra income. As we can tell right now, no one likes this quarantine crap. Living like this SUCKS. Do you think people would be content with this life?

It's crazy to me that we're willing to bailout all these businesses with taxpayer $$ on a whim because we can't have them failing; however, we refuse to create a minimum for people to survive on. Can't let businesses fail because then people will fail. But we can't prevent people from failing because that's socialism. ...

Where do you work? And I'm not saying this is killing millions of people, but I am saying it doesn't go away like the flu does. It lingers. I have an admin assistant whose 27 and a health nut and she's going on 2 weeks now out of work.

You are making this up.

Defiant had a mild case. i.e., he did not get hospitalized.

Open back up too soon, and we wasted everything done until now...

BTW, are you willing to sign a DNR to go back to work? For your whole family?

You can not take from one and give to another and expect everyone's hardships to be solved. UBI is not a solution to the problem.

I can guarantee you that you won't see unemployment drop until September at the earliest, regardless of how quickly the economy rebounds. The reason is because the coronavirus stimulus package pays people a weekly payment equal to one-half of the state average unemployment benefit plus $600. You really think people are going to give that up to go back to work to earn less money????

I don't have the answers and no one on here has the answers. Our country is hurting, from the virus, families and businesses from the loss of income, the fear of getting sick, the fear of losing everything. It's just awful to see what's happening. This is one of the hardest things I've ever watched our country go through. I feel blessed that I don't live in fear because of my faith, but I understand and hurt for those that are suffering. I have 4 children. My oldest son was supposed to graduate from USM this spring, my oldest daughter is a junior at USM, my youngest son is a senior at West Jones and was scheduled to take a several recruiting visits during the week of spring break to decide which college to commit to, as well as missing out on all hs senior memories, my youngest daughter has juvenile arthritis and is on biologics so she has a compromised immune system, so we have to be extremely careful with her.. All their lives have been turned upside down so I certainly understand what's happening to most families around the country. Though all of us don't have the same views on how this is going, I hope and pray for the best for each of you. Americans have always pulled together through times of crisis and I'm seeing and hearing acts of sacrifice and kindness each day. I hope the leadership of our country can put aside their own partisan views and help our country recover from this, in the same way I'm watching everyday Americancs pull together. After the storms ripped through Jones county this past sunday, I saw people drop whatever they were doing and immediatley rush to the aid of their neighbors. It's gonna take time for things to return to some semblance of normalcy and for our country to heal. I pray that day is sooner rather than later. I hope and pray each of you come through on the other side of this with your lives, both physically and temporally intact.

You apparently don't realize why we shut down. We didn't shut down to stop this. Are you willing to lose your job and your wife lose her job and go to section 8 housing and live like a 3rd world country and not be able to feed your kids? Because I'm a lot more scared of that then I am having the shits and a cough and shortness of breath and a fever for a few days or weeks.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Today in Mississippi, we have 273 new cases and 11 deaths. Any talk about ?re-opening ? Mississippi in the near future is a pipe dream. Accept that fact and drive on.

A major hospital.

Some people do have worse symptoms than others. No question about that. But based on what I'm seeing at work plus other people I know that have it that haven't been hospitalized I think you had a case more on the worse end.

LOL.

And hell yes. Of course I'm working anyway.

Thing is we really haven't shut down. Drive through your town. How much is open compared to how much closed. If we had truly done a much more substantial shutdown a month ago for 2-3 weeks we might have gotten on top of this by now. Those 2-3 weeks would have hurt but we would probably be starting to return to normal now. But this piece meal half assed approach is doing nothing but causing economic pain and the illness pain to be drug out.

I think the monstrous spike in unemployment numbers disagrees with this statement.

Here is a good rundown of what all is going on in regards to Covid-19 clinical trials and treatment options for those interested. This is a digital magazine we receive at our lab about once a week. Reliable source, referenced material.

Our peak was projected for April 21 a few weeks ago, so I don't see us opening back up right now.
