Corona Virus Update

ROFL

We had a 20 lb. Manx (not fat!) when I was a kid. My mother put a huge rolled roast on the draining board to thaw. When we got back, the cat had eaten almost half of it. I can't begin to imagine how it ate that much.

Indeed.

 

They mask up in consideration of others, which is the key difference.

Asians in general, have a cultural bias towards community/social obligations and conformity .. while Westerners tend the opposite.

 

Perched behind the counter of his cramped memorabilia shop in downtown Placerville, co-owner Lorenzo Smith isn’t about to tell his customers they have to put on a mask.
It's a matter of principle, he isn't convinced it's necessary, and he doesn't particularly care that Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered Californians to wear them.
"Most people up here do not like the governor," said Smith, whose shop is called Hangtown Originals. "The deal is, you have no right to tell me I have to wear a mask. I'm an American. ... I refuse to bow to anybody."
Newsom issued his order June 18 in an effort to halt a recent statewide surge in COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations since he began relaxing restrictions and reopening the economy more than a month ago.
But Californians aren't listening — not all of them, anyway. And there seems to be a distinct split between urban California and the rest of the state. In big cities like Sacramento, compliance appears to be fairly high. In suburbs and small towns, Newsom's edict is more likely to be ignored.
Why the split? Some of it's cultural; as a rule, rural Californians are more suspicious of what they see as government intrusion into their lives. Some it's political; rural areas tend to vote Republican, and some residents are taking their lead from President Donald Trump, who has been disdainful of wearing masks. Polls show Democrats are more likely to wear masks than Republicans.

Where's the proof?

 

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday ordered bars that have opened in seven California counties, including Los Angeles, to immediately close and urged bars in eight other counties to do the same, saying the coronavirus was rapidly spreading in those parts of the state and that bar settings create a higher risk of transmission.

Los Angeles is the most populous county affected by the mandatory bar closure order. The other counties are: Fresno, San Joaquin, Kings, Kern, Imperial and Tulare.

State officials asked eight other counties — Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Sacramento, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Stanislaus — to issue local health orders closing bars.

“Californians must remain vigilant against this virus,” Newsom said in statement. “COVID-19 is still circulating in California, and in some parts of the state, growing stronger. That’s why it is critical we take this step to limit the spread of the virus in the counties that are seeing the biggest increases."

On Saturday, the state reported a rise of nearly 6,000 confirmed virus cases from the day before. Nearly 5,900 people have died from coronavirus

 

Officials are announcing more beaches will be closing again in Florida to avoid further spread of the new coronavirus as they try to tamp down on large gatherings amid a spike in confirmed COVID-19 cases.

 

Are you serious? They're only JUST closing beaches?

O.M.G

 

Actually very few of Florida's beaches are being closed.

Most of the closures are in Democrat run counties.

 

They have their reasons. The Coronavirus is just getting out of hand.

 

The death rate, at least here in Florida, doesn't support the theory.

 

The United States cannot count on the availability of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, the government's top infectious diseases expert said on Tuesday, and he warned that the daily surge in cases could more than double if Americans fail to take steps to get the virus under control.

Why not?

 

California, Texas and many other states have reported record increases in new cases of the sometimes deadly illness caused by the novel coronavirus, leading to a sobering reassessment of U.S. efforts to contain the pandemic.
"It's extremely important to have safe and effective vaccines available for everyone in this country," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a U.S. Senate committee.

Scores of vaccine candidates using a variety of approaches are being developed and tested at unprecedented speed.

Fauci, however, cautioned that "there is no guarantee ... we'll have a safe and effective vaccine," and he urged Americans to come together to contain the virus.

 

Because while the infection rate is being pumped by testing the death rate demonstrates the virus is not affecting a lot of people in a very negative manner.

CV-19 like with any Flu, results in a lot of people becoming infected, the majority of them, like with the the annual Flu the virus has no serious effect on them, because their immune system disables the virus before it can multiply to the point of where have any serious symptoms, maybe a day or two felling worn out or hungover, and then it passes.

And I am quite sure if we tested people for the Flu every year as aggressively as we are testing for CV-19, the infection rate for the Flu would match what we are seeing with CV-19, but we don't do a lot of Flu testing unless some feels really bad and seeks medical help.

So what really counts is the number of recoveries, which doesn't seem to be widely reported and lacking that the number of deaths caused by CV-19.

Add to that the method of reporting, with the Flu deaths are often classified as respiratory or some other issue caused, with CV-19, in many areas, any death is classified as CV-19 death regardless of the actual cause of death, if the person died and tested positive for CV-19, the death is classified as a CV-19 caused death.

The numbers are being skewed for some reason, why I don't know.

 

He should be bright enough to understand by the time we come up with a vaccine, CV-19 will have mutated into a virus that the current vaccine will not be effective against, and I believe he does, but he has an agenda, and a financial interest in developing vaccines.

CV-19, like all Flu virus's will require a new vaccine to be developed for each new Flu season, based on the past history of mutation, in the meantime it's not possible to keep the country locked down for a few years, he has stated economics is not his specialty, all he can push out is his theories which are absent of the economic damage they will do.

He's not stupid, but he considers that damage to not be his problem to worry about.

 

It will be awhile before we can get CV19 under control and we must do our part to prevent CV-19.

Well Fauci probably thinks We'll have the Coronavirus under control eventually.

 

The government’s top infectious disease expert said on Tuesday that the rate of new coronavirus infections could more than double to 100,000 a day if current outbreaks were not contained, warning that the virus’s march across the South and the West “puts the entire country at risk.”
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, offered the grim prediction while testifying on Capitol Hill, telling senators that no region of the country is safe from the virus’s resurgence. The number of new cases in the United States has shot up by 80 percent in the past two weeks, according to a New York Times database, with new hot spots flaring far from the Sun Belt epicenters.

“I can’t make an accurate prediction, but it is going to be very disturbing, I will guarantee you that,” Dr. Fauci said, “because when you have an outbreak in one part of the country, even though in other parts of the country they are doing well, they are vulnerable.”

 

Sounds like a repeat of what he already claimed and didn't happen.

What is it they say about repeating something over and over hoping for a different result?

True all he can make is false predictions.

 

Anything to avoid the obvious, eh?


Only 129,000 dead, on our way to 200,000 in the Fall, when the pace picks up...

Say, how many dead does it take to stop being not a lot of people??

 

Fauci's a doctor he knows what is going on. I hope you're not going along with what Trump says or thinks.

 

What is your point and do you have a better plan?

 

And that means what?

So do you think the country should be under a lock up until then.

 

How many dead does it take for it to be a lot of people??? A million?

Of course.

One of the countries top math guy came up with a plan that would shut the disease down. You need to do a few million tests a WEEK. You'd catch millions of the infected early, and get R way below zero.

 

I had a mutt of a cat, huge boy, I had my girlfriend over and cooked two very nice Cornish Hens, while they where cooling down to a temperature to be served, we took a shower.

Came back out and one of the hens was missing, we looked everywhere and could not find it, so I cut the one remaining one in half and we had that, not quite what I planned because each had a serving of wild rice in it.

I asked if he knew anything about it and while licking his lips he failed to answer my question.

Later after going to bed my girlfriend screamed and jumped about of bed, she went to move her pillow and touched something cold and greasy under it, guess what it was.

 

Why would I do that? I don't trust either one they both have a agenda.

 

Because it's going down while test based cases are pushing he numbers higher providing the Chicken Little's ammo to push their narrative, even if it is false by using lying by omission.

 

Waiting for the deaths to go up I see. Not very scientific of you.
