    I’m not against this if social distancing is put in place.  Let them take the risk. As long as they don’t pack the pews.  My friends and family are taking enough precautions that we would likely not be affected by the risk taking Nazarenes.

    CDC now reports 35% of Covid-19 cases are asymptomatic and .4% of those who show signs of being sick will die.  The deaths from this disease are horrific, but .4% is a number that is far below what was being estimated just a short while ago (5 - 10 times less deadly).  That said, this is the same CDC that has been mixing viral test results with antibody test results, so interpret this estimate how you wish.





    Certain segments of the world population have been releasing studies that the actual case fatality rate (CFR) is less than half a percent, with the Streeck study being most infamous. That study was in March so this “short while ago” has actually been ongoing since the US has been reporting deaths.

    Six weeks ago, the US actual CFR was 4.8% and a certain political community told us not to worry because testing capacity is limited to “only those being sick” and the real rate is well under 1% and similar to the common flu bug.

    Six weeks later, any guess the actual CFR today? 

    5.9%

    as testing capacity went up and potentially included more than just the very ill, the actual death rate went up.

    If that is truly the CDCs position, they are playing a deadly game of chance. Yesterday was one of the worst days for US deaths and new cases outside NY and it’s almost June. 

    Just going off the CDC data.  I posted the link for reference.  Not saying it is right or wrong as I think most data being reported is skewed, but not just by the CDC.  I take all data with a large grain of salt.

    I hear ya. I’m getting nervous trump has taken control of the CDC. First their originally detailed 70 page book on how to reopen by business type was cut down to a few pages, then they told us wiping packages with sanitizers was a waste of time and now they tell us there is a magically low CFR, as low as the flu.

    All this could be true, but the problem is we don’t know for sure, especially the CFR rate. Having the CDC move over to team trump in a pandemic buy legitimizing political guesswork  does not provide much comfort

    Sadly, too many won't.   A lot of the reports I've read give me the impression that many of these people are also non-COVID believers.  God help them (maybe).

    Yes, the CDC has been taken over by monetary concerns, just like the FDA has been driven by dollars forever.

    My wife is a small business owner (hair stylist) and will be back up and running June 1.  The owner of the building has put all necessary precautionary measures in place with the stylists, who all operate their own business in their own salon suite space.  Stylists and customers must wear masks 100% of the time.  Disinfect chair, sink, equipment, etc. in between every customer.  Only one person at a time in each suite.  You obviously cannot be 6 feet apart, but with both parties wearing masks, it reduces the potential for transmission significantly.  There's some level of risk, but hopefully things go well with the proper precautions being taken.
    Good news I hope all goes well 👍

    Alright, so had anybody here had a CV19 test?

    Holy crap I thought the woman was trying to massage my brain for 20 seconds. Then in midst of it she asks me, are you a Red Sox fan? I'm like you REALLY want me to answer that while you're raping my nostrils.

    I'm glad that's over with, now I wait 3-6 days for the results.

    Do you have symptoms or just curious? If I did anything,  I'd take the antibody test to see if I had it

    Nope no symptoms at all. I just live across the street from the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches where the testing is done. If there's no difficulty in getting tested, why not. I'd just wanted to know and if it's not any trials or tribulations everybody should go get tested.

    Btw, what's the antibody test is that different than what I went through this morning?

    Antibody test is meant to show if you have had it and recovered

    Don't think there is much point in getting it, personally, unless they show there is a benefit of knowing you have had it.  (Hopefully, that you have immunity)

    Yeah blood drawn test at work they offered it everyone in my office did it out of 8 of us only 5 us opted to get it done , we had one positive result my manager, I tested negative..

    Cuomo tried to sell the nasal swab test to us last week and it seemed that thing went 2 feet into his brain. No way I will get the swab unless forced. Even then I  may quit my job if they don’t offer the blood test instead.

    Cuomo's brother then mentioned it was no problem for the gov because he has such a giant nose:



    I mean, look at the size of that thing.

    47.77% of the people who voted would beg to differ. In a state with 29 million people, trump received 4,685,047 votes (16%). New York by comparison has 19.5 million people and trump received 2,819,534 votes (14.5%). It’s cool though, I understand some people just can’t help but stereotype. By your logic, trump is a New Yorker so therefore you are a trump. Is that how this works?

    Howdy fellow Texan.  It is clear that there are a lot of people that haven’t seen or refuse to see some of the great things our state has to offer.
