The Hoax is out of hand!

[Chewy65]

What is with this covid hoax? For New Years the wife of my best neighbor announced on FB that she has had the virus for 10 days. A month back the girl across the street had it. Today we learned that the mother of my son's best friend of twenty plus years is in the Kaiser, the one I go to, on 15 L of oxygen, but not incubated. Her son doesn't know much about medicine, but per some that do they do not expect her to survive. Really, people, this China Flu Hoax is getting out of hand and has to stop!

[Garand Hunter]

The bug IS real, but all of the BS screamed at us for almost a year now is out of hand ! Every thing we were TOLD to do to protect ourselves is BS MALARKEY. Obviously wearing a mask is not working, washing hands all of the time ( I do not do it ) and the 6ft BS, NO Thanksgiving, NO Christmas gatherings etc etc etc. So fake news reports etc must be jacked up frequently to keep scare tactics ongoing etc. The folks you refer to in your post, did they keep faith with all of YA GOTTA DO THIS stuff preached at us all of the time ? Or not ?

I don’t think its a hoax but I do think the response to it is way over done. Take reasonable precautions if you are concerned but I’m not fan of Newsom deciding for me what is reasonable.

^^^^^ This. The covid will not stop until it has run through the entire population. Theres no starving it. Vaccinate the old folks, and open up.

[joepamjohn]

Oh no, not again?? How long before this thread also gets overrun with experts and charts and graphs?

[billped]

Nah. We can be mature and keep out the charts. mshill has it spot on.

Okay. He is far from perfect, but someone has to make decisions under law. If they are not made by elected leaders pursuant to laws, laws that my not be perfect, who is to make them? If everyone makes their own up, that isn't a system of law, but anarchy.

[Skip_Dog]

Making laws/rules that affect an otherwise law abiding citizens freedom is just b.s. If your leader says jump you say how high just because he is elected and has to make decisions for you?

[ScottsBad]

OMG OMG OMG! I might get COVID and have only a 98.3% chance of survival.

All you have to do is be smart about hygiene, wash hands or use hand sanitizer after touching things in public. Use sanitizing wipes on surfaces from time to time. Mask on when in close proximity several people. Don't touch face, eyes, or mouth.

My best guess after almost a year of this pandemic is that there has to be a certain genetic component of this that we just don't know about yet- a lot of people are resistant to it, many others will get it and it's no big deal, others will get it bad with lasting effects, and just enough will die from it that it scares a whole lot of the first two groups into doing what we're doing.
It's as if it's a perfect terrorist weapon- kill or harm enough to disrupt your enemies way of life and damage their economy but not kill everybody. Keep it going to create fear and disruption over the long term. Hmm...who could have thought of doing this? I'll give you one guess and I'll spot you a "C".....

Anarchy? Well that’s a bit far fetched ... unfortunately unhealthy and unhappy old people have blown this way out of proportion . Again I will say . No one has the right to live forever .. get over it you are not Peter Pan

[ZirconJohn]

Look ... here's the deal ... ask yourself and answer honestly

Do you know anyone who has or had a cold in the last 6 months?

Do you know anyone who has or had the cough in the last 6 months?

Do you know anyone who has or had a sore throat in the last 6 months?

Do you know anyone who has or had the flu in the last 6 months?

Anyone you know have pneumonia? - The runs ... you know diarrhea?

Just a plain old fashioned simple cough, cold, flue, cold ... that's all just common old normal stuff

Anyone??? - NO ...!!!

Everyone has the COVID HOAX ...!!!

News media and politicians have everyone in masks so we are not people anymore, we are simply subjects, we are at each others wits end. That is what communist government wants is to break it's people. And they are, and we are ... and all you minions are buying the great COVID HOAX !!!

[five.five-six]

I no longer fear catching the Corona virus as of today. I got my very own positive test result.

One of the dads in my kids scout troop, I found out today, is in the hospital with COVID pneumonia.

Scares the crap out of me.

[Oceanbob]

When my close relatives in health care tell me that they are over 100% capacity
at hospitals then for many people the “Hoax” is a death sentence.

I have some health issues already so I avoid “Plague Rats”......

LOL.

You all take care..💚

PS. China really screwed the planet.....

Some are and some aren't, but what popcorn box did you get your law degree from? Forget me, but my wife recently retired from a prestigious law firm in which she was secretary to the last living named partner. When the first stay at home orders were issued I had her inform the firm that she would not be coming in and after they ran things by its labor law specialist the firm didn't hesitate to acknowledge the legality of the order. Now I haven't had to keep up with it, but this is how it works or it worked in regard to those orders. The gov issued an executive order, which the county health officer issued an order providing that the governor's order be followed. If not for the action of the county health officer, you may be correct in that the governor's order lacked the force of law. At least not unless the legislature authorized such and somewhere in the back of my head I believe he is authorized. Did I say that this particular law firm specializes in representing municipal entities? Enjoy your popcorn.

Me too, brother. I really should get in to see my cardiologists since I need a professional EKG and consult, if not a procedure, but the hospital is a scary place to be at this time. I suspect that our family friend in the ICU should be incubated but isn't due to a shortage of equipment and what is politely referred to as triage. Providing scarce resources to patients with a better likelihood of survival. This is the same hospital I was at this morning for imaging and I would have cancelled that appointment had I known of this woman's situation.

BTW, having positive results does not mean that you cannot be re-infected, which makes me wonder about the value of so-called "herd mentality".

Thought control is working on you I see.

[edgerly779]

I had it in march and it was a mild case. I took hcq and zinc which I had from visit to phillipines and ,malaysia. I renewed script just in case.

[hunterb]

One good thing about Covid is it kills the unhealthy and has been a wake up call for many in regards to their health. Americans are generally terribly unhealthy, obese tubs of lard.

Lose weight fatty or the Kung Flu gonna get ya!

I think thats the general consensus now.

Sure it exists but all the political and TV drama is out of hand. As of now I know over 80 people that have had it at work (company of ~2000 employees). Nobody died. One single person said it was rough but hes fine now. Some of the guys have family members that died but they were old and in fairly rough shape already. One common thing it seems everyone who died was on a ventilator. One guy has bad cancer and got the rona and refused the ventilator and got over it in a few days. He will still die before long but not from covid.

OMG!!! If a dictator doesn't tell me what to do every moment of every day of my life I won't know what to do!!!

You live in a world where millions of people live in a state of constant organized chaos, people work, transact business, travel and a thousand other things just because they want to, each of their own free will with no force or direction from a central planner or such.

Why do you want to be mothered?

Newscum is the Governor whereas the lap dog legislature is supposed to be the law makers, except of course when the legislature does not do its job and the people take on making the law via referendum.

YES! even if he tells you to march to the capital and take it back.

These lock downs are one of the last times the Baby Boomers bend this country over for their benefit. They allowed the destruction of the amazing country that was handed to them...not surprised we’re all being forced to put our lives on hold because of the dangers to their age group. I wish the ghosts of their fathers could come back and give them the spanking they deserve.

[calif 15-22]

I wonder what the Covid 19 sub forum will be like this time next year.

Here is the official Calif 15-22 take on the Covid-19 Virus based on his vast expertise in an unrelated field AND his intellect based on self testing!

Covid 19 (aka Corona or China Virus) is real
Covid 19 by definition is a pandemic (def =world wide or very wide areas)
Covid 19 can be passed in droplets and from surfaces
Covid 19 is not a death sentence
Covid 19 can cause serious health issues to some
Covid 19 has killed many (with and without underlaying conditions)

Lockdown has thrown this country into chaos
Lockdown has not been based on any real scientific study to effectiveness
Lockdown has closed many businesses permanently
Lockdown is arbitrary and not uniform
Lockdown for all when it affects a few seems overreaching to many

Government was slow to react (even Trump)
Government was not concise or consistent in their plan to control
Government was not prepared to deal with this on a WW scale
Government used the pandemic for political motives on both sides
Government has been too slow in rolling out vaccines (whether you believe it will help or not)

Your mileage may vary!

(Full disclosure Calif 15-22 is 58 with 4 underlying co-morbidity who has locked down him self and his family but does condone locking down others)

What BS. Do we need Newsom (or anyone else for that matter) make decisions under law for the flu? No. Gov's role in this should have been to tell us what we're dealing with, give guidelines that could keep us safe and then get the hell out of the way.

I wonder how many States/Cities will lift covid restrictions on or about January 20th.

Well how does it not work, if you dont do it???

If only there was a way to keep bat eating china folk from sharing thier plauge with the rest of us life would be swell.

Meanwhile be safe and do not go bat ****...

How did I know, just from your user name, that whatever you post was gong to be idiotic, non sequitur and partisan?

Thank for for public assistance and Velcro shoes or you’d starve to death barefoot.

It's bad ***** at that point.

Geneva (my very s/o) ended up in the hospital for 12 days. She didn't get better on the "normal" antibiotics. Then they started with Remdesivier, then added Tocilizumab. The latter is still in study. She improved quickly after both drugs were used. She had no "co-morbidities." She had to stay on oxygen at home for about 6 weeks, tapering off.

Important to catch it all early. Buy an oximeter, and if someone has symptoms, use that. If it starts to drop, get treatment. Zinc and vitamin D help also of course.
Hope everyone can stay safe and healthy.

Disagree.
You could blame it on the left. Maybe even "millennials" - as they are the ones glued to the phone and reliant on the gov.
Don't blame it on the "boomer" generation.

Yep. I hear he’s doing better and if they can secure an O2 bottle they are sending him home but still terrifying. I’ve known the guy for years and he is a huge contributor to the boys. Yes he’s a bit big and in his mid 50’s but I’m not much younger, history of smoking and on the high side of normal weight. I tested positive for ChinaVirus yesterday, my worst symptoms were Sunday which were almost as bad as my hay fever today from all the winds. I wouldn’t have even thought to get Wuhan tested if not for my other buddy getting much sicker and testing positive.

Obviously it’s much worse on the elderly and obese people and diabetics.


The hoax part is that the actual danger of the virus is buried in bullSchiff Try and pull up statistics on what a person your age and condition’s likelihood of being hospitalized is and you will get 16 results for whatever the most terrifying and tangentially related statistics are but not what you are looking for.


There is literally a terror campaign being waged on the American people by their own government.

That’s he hoax part.


Also, masks and social distance barely do Schiff to reduce the spread. This virus is contagious AF. I have been exemplary in implementation and methodology of transmission and contagion mitigation and still I caught the ChinaVirus.
