Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[JCP201]

Common sense is not prevalent in this administration.

Do you think he would want Nancy Pelosi as a stand in President while both of them are incapacitated? (I'm actually not even sure how this works in such a situation)

I'm not digging through the crap there for a peanut, lol. A link to the post would be appreciated.

That's funny, coming from this forum.

When it's justified, the negatives should be tied to Trump; but it's not so much a tingle up my leg but more a spark to my soul.

What soul?

Stupid, mean, bigot, homosexual hating, xenophobes!

WTF happened to the compound that UT had supposedly super computered? We already have anti-viral drugs yet you’ve literally heard NOTHING about using those to treat this. Suspicious? Hell fuggin yes.

What? There were a ton of articles a week ago about using the super computers. University of Tennessee scientists using supercomputer may have found coronavirus cure

For everyone like me who were interested in Doc's perspective, but didn't want to dig through 43 pages, I believe this the actual post in question, to make it easier to find.

Coronavirus

That's just the way it is now. One country sneezes, and the rest catch cold. I don't like authoritarian measures, but perhaps air travel needs some well designed circuit breakers in place similar to the stock market. It would be a great time after things settle down to take a hard look with a "lessons learned" perspective - it works elsewhere so why not consider it for applications such as the spread of disease specifically through international transportation..

More TSA. Yayayayay. What could possibly go wrong?

One of these expert doctors who’s recommending to shut everything down literally said this morning that being happy can help you not get the virus. Maybe everyone making fun of Pence for his beliefs and following these experts blindly should rethink doing so. I didn’t catch the doc’s name but they were on Fox and Friends this morning. If that were true Dems would be screwed.

Fox news and donald are changing their tune....I think he's tested positive, if he did indeed take the test. U h8 2 c it....

Lol it was just a matter of time before people started with this crap. For the dems to be so worried about this pandemic, it’s sad the amount of people I have seen hoping the president to get this virus.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Not all jobs provide health insurance. Trump and the GOP have systematically dismantled paths for people to get affordable health insurance as well.

I insured my employees and then Obama care happened and made that impossible for me.

I don't think you can help the Right wing's collective understanding of this virus in this forum.

never happened before.

how so? Your employees can still get insurance on the open market. Paying about what they were paying under your plan, unless you were footing the entire bill.

Uh, I mentioned two different things. The super computers and the fact that I've not heard one mention of using tamiflu or other anti-virals to mitigate this contagion. We already have anti viral meds yet I've heard nothing of using the existing ones. Why?

I bet he lives in a state that didn't expand medicare and his private insurer jacked up the price on his high deductible junk insurance.

 

[LouderVol]

I’m sure churches will if they know there is a need

Mine has ramped up some efforts. Asking those who are without work and not at risk to offer to drive. Church providing masks and gloves for drivers, and doing shopping/packaging.

Right now they are wanting to make sure they are taking care of our congregation but hoping to expand care if possible.

I encouraged them to go that route. Told them to bring me the receipts and I would give them a raise equal to approximately 1/2 of their premiums. None took me up on it. All I can tell you is we had blue cross/blue shield. Max out if pocket of $1000 annually, $30 copay at Drs office, prescription drug coverage. All that for about $30/week out of their check. I paid the other half. Obama care happened, blue cross blue shield pulled out. Called everywhere I could and was told we have nothing for you. Since trump has loosened the stuff up, I have companies calling me now so we will probably add it back soon.

Sorry, I read your questions as one.

I asked earlier about other drugs and the response then was there is limited response to normal flu meds. Better to use on flu cases it can treat.

I bet you suck at making projections and I bet you suck in general.

So his gripe should be with the state leadership....but I digress.

Stress makes you more susceptible to illness.

So you’re basing your opinion of what people making fun of Pence believe off of how it’s represented on Fox and Friends...

That explains a lot.

Did you get to keep your doctor?

The research on Covid-19 only started about 2-3 months ago. Scientists are throwing everything at in a lab trying to find an enzyme/protein combination that works.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I wasn't on the plan. I was on my wife's plan. I was covered but after your savior screwed everything up the plan hurt the very people it was supposed to help. All it did was give insurance to the deadbeats paid for by the working man.
