I think it was a mistake to say initially that masks did not help. It was a blatant lie. I understand why at the time but it led to skepticism later and doubt that they know what they are talking about. It didn't help that later Trump was a jackass about masks.

I had to go back a few pages to find the original TB reference to respond to the post. I caught TB while I was a senior in college. I found out when I went to the public health department for an antibody skin test, which I had to have before I could get a job as a substitute teacher.RYME said:

Scroll down and read a little from the CDC.
Nobody wore masks until covid19.
Now out of respect I wear a mask at the grocery store, hardware store whatever getting a haircut. Or in a place where there's a condensed group of people.
But Dr. Anthony Fauci said this back in March.

There is a happy medium between overhyping and downplaying this stuff.
You know what happened? Within ONE DAY of my testing positive, a contact tracer arrived at my house at dinner time, asked me to provide the names and phone numbers of every person I had been in close contact with for the past six months, requested every member of my close circle to also be tested (they all complied). Then for six months while I was in treatment, I had to submit a spit sample on a regular basis to my doctor, so he could report to the health department that I was not a contagious threat to the public. Almost 30 years later, I STILL have to submit a negative chest X-ray anytime I accept employment in a different school division, which I had to do again last summer. That's what we do with TB, a disease that's hardly a threat here in America, then or now -- because we fight to keep case numbers at an insignificant low.
Now let's jump to CoVid. I'm pretty sure that my locality is doing next to nothing with contact tracing with CoVid, though the CDC declared my zip code a hot spot on June 20 with a significant portion of the cases made up of Latinx people. About 20-25% (!!!!!) of the people tested in my locality's three zip codes are positive. The news report indicated the CDC would be going door to door trying to find cases and to assess local needs. And yet, I haven't seen anybody in my neighborhood, haven't received any phone calls, haven't received any mail from public officials, and it's been almost a month since this CDC announcement was made. I only found the announcement yesterday because I Googled "hot spot" with my city name, just trying to get a feel for things around here because the silence from my local officials on case numbers has been disconcerting.
If we were doing with CoVid what we do with TB, we would all be so very blessed right now.0 -

X amount die from TB regardless.
So how about getting info @ CDC for Covid19?
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html
Cases/day (July rising)
Deaths/day (July slowing)
Younger less vulnerable population getting infection on a large scale is what most epidemiologists look forward to = herd immunity. Which usually occurs befour vaccines are achieved.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
Excess deaths is an interesting piece of the pie.
Your point being? Please enlighten us.
Wowie kazowie!! A big thumbs up to that one.
It's generally accepted on this forum to quote someone when asking a question about their post. Thank you for the kudos, though.
There are quite a few articles about this, but I'm not going to waste my time searching and pasting.
*So the total corona virus death toll in the US is updated and posted on the CDC website for all to see daily. State-by-state county by county.
As the CDC combs through all of te covid19 deaths, they are finding that a sizeable percentage of covid19 blamed deaths are actually caused by other things like accidents, or entirely unrelated health issues,
For example a 40 year old man is on his roof cleaning the gutters out. Stumbles and falls off his roof to the ground and dies on impact.
The man died from neck injuries, but also was found to be positive for Coronavirus in his system, didnt even know he had it. A-Symptomatic they are and have been adding deaths like that to the coronavirus death toll. Drunk driving crashes car rolls 3 times dead driver. Tests possitive for Coronavirus add to coronavirus death toll. And a whole host of other health problems that cause fatalities.
I saw one estimate, nearly 30 percent of Corona virus deaths are due to other unfortunate events. Overtime CDC will revise their numbers.
Having said all that, I don't pretend that it isn't a problem,
I believe that the coronavirus is nothing to sneeze at.
The (30% overstated estimate) I heard about was at the top or bottom of the hour news cast a few weeks ago. I heard that on Newstalk 1130 WISN Milwaukee.
Falling off of roof, and car accident were examples given. The cdc didn't say that. But those types of things is what the excess deaths @ the cdc take into account.
And if that's not good enough for you fuck it.Talk radio....The reason 40% remain willfully ignorant.

An interesting aspect of that interview is, at the end, the reporter acknowledging that all religious organizations were eligible for PPP loans but, even though the data is available, he chose only to highlight the Catholic church.brianlux said:Wait a minute... WHAT???Reporter On Catholic Church Getting Over $1 Billion In Coronavirus Aid
"...today we are learning, courtesy of The Associated Press, that the U.S. Roman Catholic Church managed to secure billions of dollars in loans from that rescue package through the Paycheck Protection Program. Reporter Michael Rezendes has been reporting on the Catholic Church for a long time. He is one of the reporters who has been crunching these numbers and trying to track where that money is going.""... we were able to identify between $1.4 billion and as much as $3.5 billion."
I'm not Catholic and have an issue with the religious exemption he references, but the framing is pretty lame.0 -

And yet, I haven't seen anybody in my neighborhood, haven't received any phone calls, haven't received any mail from public officials, and it's been almost a month since this CDC announcement was made. I only found the announcement yesterday because I Googled "hot spot" with my city name, just trying to get a feel for things around here because the silence from my local officials on case numbers has been disconcerting.
If we were doing with CoVid what we do with TB, we would all be so very blessed right now.

I had to go back a few pages to find the original TB reference to respond to the post. I caught TB while I was a senior in college. I found out when I went to the public health department for an antibody skin test, which I had to have before I could get a job as a substitute teacher.RYME said:

Scroll down and read a little from the CDC.
Nobody wore masks until covid19.
Now out of respect I wear a mask at the grocery store, hardware store whatever getting a haircut. Or in a place where there's a condensed group of people.
But Dr. Anthony Fauci said this back in March.https://youtu.be/PRa6t_e7dgI
There is a happy medium between overhyping and downplaying this stuff.
You know what happened? Within ONE DAY of my testing positive, a contact tracer arrived at my house at dinner time, asked me to provide the names and phone numbers of every person I had been in close contact with for the past six months, requested every member of my close circle to also be tested (they all complied). Then for six months while I was in treatment, I had to submit a spit sample on a regular basis to my doctor, so he could report to the health department that I was not a contagious threat to the public. Almost 30 years later, I STILL have to submit a negative chest X-ray anytime I accept employment in a different school division, which I had to do again last summer. That's what we do with TB, a disease that's hardly a threat here in America, then or now -- because we fight to keep case numbers at an insignificant low.
Now let's jump to CoVid.

Sorry about the trouble you've been through.
Society has never shut down for anything (sports, concerts, bars, beaches, restaurants or anything else before this. Im no expert, I'm a truck driver. Why now?
Consider that even with these highly oppressive lockdowns, we've still seen 3.3 million cases and 137,000 deaths here in the U.S.
In my lifetime I've never seen anything spread like this. SARS...H1N1...not even close.0 -

This virus is here to stay and this administration is going to just let it play out! I guess the deaths will just keep happening, before we know it flu season will be here.jesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -
AC that does not bring outside air seems to be a major factor with why covid his specifically targeting CA TX AZ FL.
Starting to think this is a much bigger factor than masks and six feet.0 -
For sure. Check out this study and especially the diagram. They followed how diners who were specifically downwind wound up getting infected.Lerxst1992 said:

No reason man!! It’s all a hoax and a conspiracy to take down the best president who has ever presidented. Join a revolution so crazy that only billionaires and the party that supports them were smart enough to reveal it.RYME said:what dreams said:
