DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Covid-19: Again

I sure bless those rain down there, though.

Glad to hear that, Pastor. Nice to see you are taking the proper precautions and that everyone is healthy thus far.

Ignore those that think that because it is raining in their part of the country that it is raining in every single location across the globe. Especially ignore those who think this is some sort of contest and mock others because more people are getting Covid.

They are the same people who want people of a certain age group to all die and support those who want all people who disagree w/them politically to also die. It's best to steer clear of that particular group of people.

Nope, not yet.

They still have fewer cases per day than Ohio, like almost by half, so I'm thinking they're still doing just fine.

Man what?

If we tried herdimmunity here in this country, we’re talking millions dying.

Just so everyone is aware, the state of Ohio has about a million more people than all of Sweden.

And yet purp is here acting like the COUNTRY will have comparable numbers to Sweden if we tried herd immunity.

Which to re-emphasize, ISNT working over there. They tried it and have way more deaths than the surrounding countries.

I mean Damn purp. Millions would die trying that, and all you would do is *shoulder shrug*

I mean he thinks there’s no lasting effects of covid despite the research by scientists and doctors, and he also buys into nonsense that it escaped from a lab in Wuhan.

Doubt he’ll ever come to reality.

Pfizer will seek FDA approval for COVID-19 vaccine in DAYS as final trial analysis shows it is 95% effective... days after Moderna's breakthrough

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...n.html#comments

The problem with the Pfizer vaccine is that it needs to be stored at negative 100 degrees Fahrenheit. You won't be able to get this at your local pharmacy like you do with the flu shot. You won't be able to get it at your primary care doctor's office. You won't be able to get it at the hospital either. Charlotte is home to the 3rd largest hospital system in the nation and even they do not have a refrigerator capable of storing this vaccine. I haven't heard of any plans on how this vaccine can be distributed throughout the country.

The Moderna vaccine only needs to be stored at negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why Does Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine Need To Be Kept Colder Than Antarctica?

Well there are a lot of whining and the government has told us to go screw ourselves...

It can't be "perfect" if I can "think of" better. That was a very nice set up line you used, the punch is obvious, but insulting, and it's not subject matter to continue a discussion on.

In other covid news, I'm having a sad solemn attitude toward the severe spike in spread.

I'm not changing my mind. We must continue on, when we have done all that we can, then stand.

If the economy ends in one day, it is the mystery, biblical fall of Babylon, if anyone is keeping notes.

Wan Chung lyrics anyone? "the whole world is Babylon", what year did they write that song? 1981?

Make sure you're stocked up on food and staples. We could well see runs on stuff like TP, hand soap, and similar items.

Already are seeing some of that.
We went out in March and bought a full size freezer to go along with our other 2 freezer/fridges and they are stocked full.
along with the other stuff like tp, tissues, hand soap, sanitizer and the dry staples we are ready for the long haul

CDC advises Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving

The CDC issued new guidance on Thursday advising Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving, warning doing so may increase the chance of getting and spreading COVID-19.

Why it matters: The U.S. has seen over 1 million new coronavirus case in just this past week — and indoor household gatherings nationwide could make the situation even worse.

The state of play: The agency said that Thanksgiving celebrations should only include current household members when possible.

It also redefined its definition of "household" to people currently living in one's home for the past 14 days — which could exclude college students and older relatives.
What they're saying: "Postponing travel and staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others this year," the guidance says.

"We're alarmed with the exponential increase in cases, rising hospitalizations and deaths, Henry Walke, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, said on a call with reporters.

From Dewine's briefing today.

DeWine said the 24-hour case change of 7,787 is probably not accurate and lower than the actual number. The Department of Health has been double-checking the results of antigen tests for COVID-19, and a backlog has developed since Monday. DeWine said 12,000 such tests are being double-checked, with most of them expected to be confirmed. DeWine said he should have an update Friday.

OMG

RIGHT?

It’s gonna be ridiculous, entertaining, and frustrating AF.

Just noticed today that our 2 year old Five Guys went out of business and our 5 year old Golden Corral Buffet that has been closed since covid began is now gone with the building up for sale or lease. Chain franchises are going under now, tons of mom and pops have closed around here too.

Ruby Tuesday filed for bankrupcy.

That stresses me out just looking at it.

Covid is the enemy, the main combatant in a war America never gave enough attention, and enough respect.

WW2 was unifying, every American stepped up, and did their job. We didn’t give this war enough respect. It’s remorseful, when every American can’t even wear a mask. Yes, this is the wish of every health care worker in tusa.

The enemy is our own brain dead neighbors. I spent more time this morning being attacked by a friend and 25 of his friends. WHy???? because I believe in wearing a mask. This guy and many of his friends laugh and bitch about masks. They are still going into stores maskless, not social distancing, and calling folks everything under the sun for those who care about others and themselves.

They get away with it why???? Because there are so many others just like them. I went to get groceries today. I counted 5 people not wearing masks in walmart. Another 30 wearing their mask under their nose including 5 freaking employees. We will never get covid under control until we start locking these idiots up. It's just fine for them to spread covid everywhere and nobody does a damn thing about it. But I bet you 100 bucks if I lit up a cigarette and blew smoke in their faces in the store the po po would treat me like MR Floyd.

Back in July, we didn't have too much spread, I saw a hospital employee at the local grocery store wearing a surgical facemask below his chin.

GM, we'd be millionaries for every person we saw breaking these rules. Maybe one day people will understand?

Cleveland coronavirus cases up 1,200 percent since early October

The Cleveland area has seen its number of coronavirus cases skyrocket by 1,259 percent in the past seven weeks according to the Ohio Department of Health, as cases across the country continue to climb.

On Oct. 1, when Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) released an advisory alert map, the Cleveland/Akron area was reporting an average of 83 cases a day, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Now, the area is averaging 1,134 cases a day.

The Buckeye State, like many states in recent weeks, on Friday broke its record for new cases in a single day, reporting 8,808 cases. So far, 343,286 coronavirus cases and 5,984 deaths have been reported in Ohio.

Last week Franklin County, where the state’s capital of Columbus is located, was elevated to the highest public emergency level, indicating a risk of “severe exposure and spread.” The recommendation for residents in a county at this level is to “only leave home for supplies and services.”

Last week, Columbus health officials announced a month-long health advisory, urging residents to only leave the home for essential needs, work and school.

“I'm not going to mince words: We have entered a dangerous time in our fight against COVID-19. This surge is much scarier than we saw in the spring or again in the summer," Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther (D) said after the advisory was announced.

When the advisory system was first released on Oct. 1, 11 counties were classified as Level 3. Now, of Ohio's 88 counties, 15 are at Level 2, one is at Level 4 and the rest are Level 3.

In a tweet last week, DeWine warned that “Other counties may not yet be seeing continuous, uninterrupted increases in the same way that is causing Franklin to move to purple, but make no mistake—almost all counties are seeing more cases and more healthcare use that could threaten the medical system if they continue.”

Wife was at 3 stores Sunday, no TP in any of them. WTH is wrong with people.

I don't get it either. Of all the things I would need if the world shut down, TP is not all that high on the list. Mankind lived a long time without TP.

Just get a bidet attachment if their so worried about wiping ability.

Oh sure a bidet? Watch my water bill triple

Sounds like you have something to talk about with your doctor.

Well in all fairness, if you are using that much water you are not practicing hygiene, you are pleasuring yourself.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Moving to the country; I'll have a well soon enough. No more water bill

Maybe both
