COVID-19: Chapter 5 - BACK TO SCHOOL

It’s a lock that the massively republican congress and senate (due to the 2018 midterms swinging hard their way) would impeach her. Possibly convict her.

Though I do peak on my weather channel app when I go somewhere.

Let’s see about 350,000 people. Let’s say 200/day for 14 days is 2800. So that’s 0.8/1000. Given testing I’d say you are probably really at 3-4/1000

And of course the trend is horrible.

Ok ty. Maybe it was goofy that offered counties by request. Ty for the work nonetheless.

Lol I get what you are saying but I didn’t have the common cold. I had the worst cough in my life. So bad that I was like WTF? Had this happened 2 weeks later I would have gone to ER and gotten tested.

Ty 200 is about right. That was our lowest day in quite sometime. We had a 385 last week.

I’m not an expert on that, but my guess is that we may have to take the vaccine twice a year or something.

I would assume the weather channel online would have the same info if you don’t use that app.

A mass grave might be bad for tourism.

100% if I had my November cough I would go get tested today.

Some day maybe we will find out what that was. I think it is most likely unrelated. I have talked to a ton of people that went through it.

Sorry to repeat myself but it was:

1 How much robitussin do I take?
2 When can I take more robitussin?
3 How much robitussin is safe to take?
4 how much robitussin will kill me?
5 Fuck it, I’m taking all the robitussin I have.

Only codeine from urgent care in the AM made it slow down.

So I was reading the covid causing brain damage thing (which I did know of course) [that reuters article about a day ago that I’m sure got linked in here]

“Whether we will see an epidemic on a large scale of brain damage linked to the pandemic – perhaps similar to the encephalitis lethargica outbreak in the 1920s and 1930s after the 1918 influenza pandemic – remains to be seen,” said Michael Zandi, from UCL’s Institute of Neurology, who co-led the study.

I got another thing on this shit to read?!??! (me every time something new on this shit to read comes out) That one I didn’t remember.

That reminded me to re look up for lack of a better google term to find it, hong kong flu in 68

shit

The death rate from the Hong Kong flu was lower than for other 20th century pandemics.[8] The disease was allowed to spread through the population without restrictions on economic activity, until a vaccine became available four months after it started.

The H3N2 virus returned during the following 1969/1970 flu season, resulting in a second, deadlier wave of deaths. (so much for that vaccine, shit)

It remains in circulation today as a strain of seasonal flu

(this was my best guess, no vaccine, doesn’t go away because lol us, still hoping for the not it got worse part of things)

they didn’t shut down shit for that of course

I won’t post about it here anymore except to say that this is what we always do, the new thread almost always gets less traffic, and we essentially let most people avoid thinking about the problem.

It’s the Internet forum version of moving protesters out of a street they’re blocking so that nobody has to be inconvenienced. We’re like 99% men, a large percentage don’t care about it, and we’re never going to fix this problem if we just excise the posts to a containment thread that 75% of the forum then ignores.

I’ll leave it out of this thread for now, but I think we should all think about that.

None of that is a shot at goofy, who’s just doing the normal thing a mod is supposed to do, nor am I trying to equate sexist posts here with cops killing black people.

Hopefully this post stays put.

I wonder what the partisan breakdown of this will be and if on repub gets really sick, will he come to his senses or continue towing the party line?

What does a successful vaccine look like. My guess is that some people who get the vaccine will contract covid and die. But a lot more will have a.much milder case that causes minimal disruption to every day life.

I don’t think for a minute that a vaccine will eridacte covid. I could be wrong though. I am just basing it off other respiratory virus that are just a part of the human experience.

The real fun with the herd immunity concept will be when some who was a confirmed positive has a mild case the first time around the 9 months later contracts it again and dies. This will likely happen. I don’t think it will be common but maybe enough cases to make some evening news headlines.

I believe none of the leading candidates use live attenuated virus. I’m not even sure if there are any in the top tier that are dead/inactivated virus.

The chance of contracting the actual virus like the old days with the polio vaccine incident should be nil.

From some point in January to around the end of April I read every COVID post on this forum.

During May, I only read about 30% of COVID posts and it was incredible for my psyche. During that time I read fiction instead.

Since June I’m back up to reading 100% COVID posts it is truly a horrible experience. The only reason I’m back in full force is because I, like many of you, will soon be placed into a situation of being ‘forced’ to re-enter the working world (or, decide whether I have enough appetite and leverage to resist). Since decision makers seem universally clueless on COVID, it feels necessary to know every single daily painstaking detail and development.

How great it would be to unplug again. Considering all possible outcomes of where the US goes from here, I am having a hard time even conceptualizing a favorable runner-runner to pull for.

Hey, it is a small solace sharing such a miserable experience with this community at least.

No one thinks that was covid. Try actually reading the thread.
