Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Am thinking about urging my son (late 20s, very fit) to make a Volnation account just so he could let y'all know if and when his ornery ole dad bites the dust. Not worrying about it. But it could well happen. And if if it did, I would want my Vol brothers and sisters to know.

For those who prayed for Jane who had the Coronavirus and pneumonia, she is back home and recovering well.

thanks!
let’s continue to believe for great things

That is the best of news!

You speak in such absolutes that even Dr F refrains from. Fear this Fear that. Geez

Please just ignore the old *art.

I thought about this a week or two ago, but I think they also found that he had a condition that didn’t help fight the “pneumonia.”

An underlying condition makes it harder to beat cv19.

Benjamin Franklin said when you are willing to give up essential freedoms for temporary safety, you deserve neither.

FDR once said during WW11 "if you're going through hell, keep going!" That's what we all have to do. Kinda reminds me of our Class of '77 Motto: Been thru hell, Going to Heaven, We're the class of '77.

This was my project keeping myself occupied this evening, fellas. Out with chrome rear bumpers, in with the flat black plasti dip! Turned out great. Wasn’t expecting it to come out that awesome.

I hate chrome, especially on yotas

 

[InVOLuntary]

Lol... you assume I have money

I don't care what you're charging @Bassmaster_Vol I can promise you that it isn't enough.

Well all these azz clowns that want socialism in America should be in heaven since it resembles what you find in stores of solialist/communist nations.

I just don’t understand this. I’m far from a socialist and not bent of shape over much of this. I’m trying to protect my family, both young kids and parents. I’ve been in spots where I was probably at risk, with what I now know in hindsight. I would prefer others follow this as well so that we can get this behind us sooner than later.

Where is the epidemiological study that supports your conclusion that this "is definitely not any worse than the other big bad bugs for the rest of society?" I haven't seen anything that supports your assertion, but I'm willing to read any legitimate study you've found that supports your conclusion. I did see an article today that says the death rate in southern states is 10 to 20% higher in the 20-50 age range and, with the exception of Louisiana, it's clear that the South is still several weeks away from hitting their peak numbers. (Probably as much due to lifestyle and health insurance numbers as anything but still it's going to affect the numbers.)

Agree that it is much more dangerous to the 60+ age range but I don't think we're ready to draw as wide a conclusion as you do with that statement. We're going to need to see the final horrific numbers before you can truly say it's not any worse.

Plus if the statement coming out of the CDC this morning proves correct, i.e. that this can be transmitted by mere breathing without touch or particle transmission (sneeze or cough) then this is going to be much worse than anything floating around out there.

What scares me is the possibility that this thing may not follow the regular flu which subsides in the summer months. What if it keeps on going?

But I have noticed in prior posts that you support taking all the precautions so I appreciate the fact you're not arguing that this shouldn't be taken seriously.

87% of the dead in Italy were over 70, and that was not counting the other age groups with underlying health issues...

I am not digging up all the freakin numbers that have been posted here over and over.

I did not mean to be snarky...I have just had a veeeerrry stressful day...and I take this deadly seriously,
I have thought 100 times today "screw this I am turning around and going back to Harlan..then Imma stay in my house for the next two months."..but I refuse to be ruled by fear. Just in the last six months I have been nearly killed by other drivers 5-6 times...I would be safer staying at home, but...I am not doing that.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Holy hell. I need out of the house

Move to the philippines.

An underlying condition makes it harder to beat cv19.

Yea, but it wasn’t a “previous condition.” It was something that they found while treating him that prevented them from treating the pneumonia.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

When you are 20, the dying are too far removed from you to be relevant. When you are 50 the people dying are the ones who raised and guided and taught us. Makes it a lot more personal, huh?

It really does...and as I have said over and over again, I myself am in the very high risk group, and it does frighten me...and yet I am out there doing my job.

The post I quoted was referring to grocery store shelves being empty. I haven't given my 2 cents on all the rest of this crap mostly because my 2 cents wouldn't add up to a penny.

Most grocery stores are empty at certain times because of manpower. They can’t keep up with stocking the shelves. People can only go to the grocery store, so more are going at one time and also shopping for longer periods of time (thus, buying more). They can’t just go every couple of days.

 

[JacketVol]

I could explain why that statement was factual and not opinion, but it won't change anyone's opinion.

I'll keep it to myself from now on. Nobody wants to hear it anyway.

SS. they say the models are predictions and not facts. If the doctors say it, why can’t you?

Just because someone questions it doesn’t mean they are not following the guides. I’ve been religiously but still see people in complete fear to the point of crazy.

He will tell you that himself.

So torn about this and have been from the beginning...I still can't really say how I feel about it. If left unchecked the damage would be horrific..but relatively quick. The virus would have quickly run out of people to infect, but slowing it down will save lives, but society may end up coming apart at the seams...people will not stay cooped up indefinitely, and clashes between the law and populace will cost a lot of lives and breed violence and hatred that we may never recover from.


People that think this home self-imprisonment can last more than another 4-6 weeks without mass craziness and unrest taking place are fooling themselves...peoples nerves are already becoming frayed to breaking points.

Exactly. Basically we’re delaying the inevitable by self quarantining in terms of the disease, while harming society at large. I’m right out of college and a few of my friends have lost their jobs because of this. Small businesses are getting killed right now. I’m torn too and I don’t want to come off as cold. But all of this will have been a waste if the country collapses to stop a virus that kills 1% of the population
