Why is toilet paper being bought for a respiratory virus? Are people expecting to cough so much they need a change of underwear?
Now if we could figure out how to mutate the virus to only target the dumb people, all our problems would be solved.
According to the American medical journal between 22000 to 55000 people die of the flue each year. Get it and get over it.
Storm, ya our local walmarts is the same. As with the rest of the stores around here. I have 18 rolls of TP in the house. That'll last me till mid May. No clue as to why people think they need 100+ rolls. Hoping Walmarts quads the price. Let em pay four times as much for being morons.
China's decrease in death toll and new cases continues
From CNN’s Shanshan Wang in Beijing
China confirmed 20 new cases and 10 deaths today -- a slight uptick from the previous few days, but still consistent with a general downward trend this week.
The new numbers bring the country's total to 80,844 cases and 3,199 deaths, according to the National Health Commission.
Of these total cases, 66,911 patients have recovered and been discharged from hospital, said the NHC.
The past few days have seen falling numbers of daily new cases -- down to a dozen or so, compared to just a few weeks ago, when country reported thousands of new cases a day.
Courthouses might be next. My second job got shutdown since it's a non-essential business.Sucks but luckily my other job doesn't plan on shutting down anytime soon
I'm not worried about the virus my immune system is too strong
^ What? :o Yeah, I hear a lot of people saying that.......until they end up sick at home, or have been tested for coronavirus, or in a hospital on a ventilator. :P Nobody is 100% immune to anything. We all get sick from something.
....but I fear humanity more than anything. But I also see this as a good study on human behavior.
If a zombie Apocalypse happens dad and I will know what to go for first then go for everything else then get the hell out dodge as my mom puts it.
^ What zombie apocolypse? That only happens in the movies. There's no such thing as zombies. :P
And yes we'ere having trouble stocking up on TP because the stores are having trouble, no hand soap either. Good thing we got napkins if we run out of tp.
You can't and shouldn't use napkins as TP. They have about the same consistency as paper towels and are not flushable down the toilet. You might have to resort to using kleenex if you don't have enough TP. You're going to have to look everywhere you can for TP. Walmart, Target, Convenience stores, gas stations, Shop online, Aldi, Dollar Stores, etc. You may even have to travel further distances from your home to find what you need and/or travel to stores at various times of the day. As for soap, soap is soap. Doesn't matter if it's bar soap or the liquid hand soap. Find and buy whatever you have to to wash your hands.
I'm not worried about the virus my immune system is too strong
Great... it's able to be spread by just breathing... coughing not needed... just great.
I'm more worried about stupid Americans. President Trump just said injecting sanitizer is a cure. Once injected the agent will do damage for hours before it even starts to be expelled from the body. That's only if the kidneys haven't already been shut down. It's a very long and painful death. The best an injector could hope for is to pass out and die in their sleep. Survivors will spend the rest of their lives dealing with internal damage. This is no joke.
Well, it's not sanitizer really. It was more bleach and other disinfectants. But........I don't doubt some people will try sanitizer. :P
There is no difference between killing someone and telling someone to do something that will kill them. In the end it's still murder.
Good luck to anybody who tries to make murder stick to Trump. Trump would just spin doctor it so many ways and say he was just joking or being sarcastic. :P
Being a gray muzzle this is a real concern of mine. As of now I haven't heard of any. Wondering if anyone who attended Furry Fiesta got it. Holding that con was about as dumb as most things they do in Texas.
It was held at the end of February, so I don't think we'd quite gotten a grasp on what we were dealing with yet.Being a gray muzzle this is a real concern of mine. As of now I haven't heard of any.

They actually held that con? :o *shakes head* Stupid. Just stupid. :P

Per sources I've spoken to revolving around the con organizing space, we shouldn't realistically expect any cons to return until Spring of next year. They're pretty much the antithesis of social distancing, and I don't think I'd want to go to one that was designed with that in mind anyway.
I'm not worried about the virus my immune system is too strong
Not to bust your bubble there friend but a strong immune system can also kill you because it overreacts to threats. You don't want your system to go crazy over the virus and start attacking even healthy cells because that's even worse for you than the virus.
I'm with Kobuk, no one is fully immune and you shouldn't believe yourself untouchable because you think your immune system can handle it and you certainly shouldn't believe in your system to the degree that you recklessly go out in public needlessly. That's just crazy plus that kind of mindset can give you tunnel vision where you think mostly of your own self and safety and it doesn't enter into your mind that you could potentially be carrying the virus on you and exposing others to it.
I guess what I'm saying is, even if you think you're going ot be fine because you believe in your immune system, it's no reason or excuse to disregard the procedures.
Your immune system only works on what it recognizes as a foreign object in your body. Unfortunately your body will not recognize this virus as a foreign body. This is why this virus spreads so quickly. We has 0 immunity to it. You have as much immunity to this as you do AIDS. ZERO.
Some people get it and die. Some go through weeks of fighting and live with damage for the rest of their lives. Some people get it, get really sick and get over it. Some people get it and don't even know they had it. But EVERYONE gets it.
I I actually get the flu almost or some other COV virus every year. I'm not sure if thats normal but it's never too bad and I never get implications. I think I might have got COVID earlier this year.I remember getting full blown flu when I was 15. I hurt so bad all over the pain was unbearable. I had to take codeine +Tylenol just to get sleep. At times I was hallucinating and moaning. My joints were all swollen and had a high fever of 103. Since then I have had arthritis symptoms. Now I just plain have arthritis all over my body and can't sleep well and I'm not really old enough for how bad it is. That year I got the flu, was a year we couldn't get shots because of money and my dad's healthcare through work was very lame. So I'm always a little worried about the flu.
I guess I still worry about the virus. I know it's killed people in the town where my parents live.
I will keep wearing masks and washing hands etc till a vaccine is out.I I actually get the flu almost or some other COV virus every year.

I don't know how stone can get it and be ok, and others die.
If someone does that to my parents, and I am there, if I can react, I will get cell phone video and send it to employer and maybe police?Yes, do this. Intentionally trying to spread corona by coughing on people has lead to people being arrested and can be considered an assault, endangerment, or a terroist threat.
"If you cannot live because you are afraid of death, then you have already died."
Perhaps I have a different point of view because I have been forced to accept that I will die one day
I have evaluated that risk for myself, and I find it more than acceptable to face.
The more I hear about how more people are getting infected and how people are advising not to get together for Thanksgiving, the more I am thinking of possibly not visiting my mother for T-Day. :( I really don't want to, but it keeps knawing at the back of my mind.
I just got off the phone with a friend I used to work with for 15 years. Him and his wife both came down with Covid. Possibly their children too. Neither of them are in the hospital yet from what my friend told me. I hope and pray they will all recover.
And then an earlier conversation with another best friend from high school and he told me his brother in law and his wife both have Covid. How bad, I don't know.
*screaming* YOU KNOW, THIS NATION WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN MESS IF THAT DUMBTARD TRUMP AND THE REST OF HIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF THEIR BUTTS AND DID MORE SUBSTANTIAL WORK IN PREPARING FOR THIS PANDEMIC INSTEAD OF PLAYING IT DOWN. AND LET'S NOT FORGET ALL THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS AND CONSPIRACY THEORISTS DOWNPLAYING IT TOO, NOT WEARING MASKS, ETC. BUNCH OF FOOLS, IDIOTS, JERKS, AND EVERY OTHER DEROGATORY TERM i CAN THROW AT THEM.
:goldpissed: :goldpissed: :goldpissed:
Also if China wasn't messing around with Pangolins. I heard that's what started it. (Although that's kinda what they get for believing that Pangolin scales can heal/cure you of something, they can't) But Trump def didn't help.

I don't think there's been any concrete evidence that the coronavirus did come from a animal market in China. The WHO (World Health Organization), the CDC, and other organizations are pressuring China to come clean about how the outbreak originally started in China, but Chinese officials haven't exactly been forthcoming with information. There's also been suspicions of the virus possibly originating from a biomedical laboratory, but there's been no concrete proof of that either.
I'm still not worried I don't think I've caught it yet, if anything I'm a carrier that's normally how that goes. But if I have caught it, it was mild and dad thinks he may have gotten it a few times? Not badly though. Then again that might have just been the common cold.
When it comes to the coronavirus and being near people at the store, outside, or somewhere else, treat EVERYBODY as a possible carrier of the virus. Don't assume that because somebody looks and feels healthy that they are immune and don't have the virus. The virus can affect people in many different ways.
Every person you see and/or meet could be a carrier, whether they show symptoms or not. Treat them as suspect. Treat yourself as suspect too.
IF YOU THOUGHT CORONAVIRUS WAS SCARY, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.

Read the book The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. It's a terrifyingly true story.
You do not have the "constitutional right" to refuse the Covid vaccine.

I am sick and getting sicker.
I can't shake what this is, and I was vaccinated.
I hope I have a cold. If I were not in the midst of a pandemic, I would just assume it was a cold.
So yeah, Covid-19 worries me, even if I am pretty sure I do not have it.
It adds more randomness to my day.
Kobuk, wet cough good. Dry cough bad. Still best to get checked. Because only 2/3 or 67% of covid cases have dry coughs.
We have a anti vaccer at work who just went to a family members funeral. Died of covid. Have to wait till Monday to see if he is still spewing out his praising the republican party and anti vaccine rhetoric. Both cases and the death toll keeps rising. According to John Hopkins University there has been over 670.000 US deaths. The good news is more than half of our population has at least one of the two shots. It appears that some major right wing media outlets (fox news) is now telling people to get the shots. Guess their ratings went down. All their viewers are dying off. Hopefully these people will come to terms with the fact that it is the right wing media and republican party who murdered their friends, family members and now children.
And now there is a new Delta variant. AY 4.2 Not much is known about it yet. Mostly in England. But there has been cases of it here in the states.
Just heard a co-workers mother has had a so-called break through case.
She was vaccinated 2 times and healthy. She slipped into a coma within 3 days of symptoms. Her future is in the hands of fate/gods/non-science things now.
Yeah, this virus still bothers me!
There's a new variant. B.1.1. 526. It's significant enough to have been named. Omicron. It has 30 variants in it's protein. This makes it even more contagious. However it's not known if it's deadlier. It is prompting travel bans to South Africa and surrounding countries.

Kobuk No, there are no such message in the Bible. And after studying it for over four years in Hebrew, Cheltic, Latin and Greek I can confidently say this is just another extremist measure to use the Bible to harm. The only connection between scripture and what's happening is this. The mark is placed on the forehead or hand. Those who don't have the mark are refused services like buying food and shelter. So refusing to allow unvaxed people to do things only "proves' it's the mark of the beast. This can only be done by neglecting a few hundred other scriptures. Propaganda is done by taking a small portion of the truth. Then deny the rest. The problem with extremists is self justification. If you hear the virus strikes down the wicked. Then see your fellow followers die. Simply proclaim them as wicked.
moved from elsewhere...
I have been participating in VARES since I got my vaccines. I still get contacted. I have no adverse reports. I am not lying. There are no microchips in me nor am I a GMO now.
So I will not post about covid much if at all after this.I won't if you won't.
It's not done mutating.
That being said, my worry about covid is almost nonexistent at this point.
To prevent this long story from being even long, the conversation I had was that while covid hasn't disappeared and never will in my opinion, I see it as being similar to getting pneumonia now. For some people, pneumonia is a death sentence but in most cases it isn't
