Not to worry, your local Chinese restaurants will still be serving stray cat.

My dad works at fort sanders hospital and he stated all the doctors there have said the same exact thing because it shows the same symptoms as the flu a little bit and that’s what they were writing it off as and the medication wasn’t touching it...so the conversation is definitely out there.

I've heard the same thing from coworkers daughter (who actually is my Nurse Practitioner I normally see) she said they've had tons of people presenting with Flu like symptoms and testing negative for the flu and the medication that they gave didn't help either

Dollar general opens up for a full hour just for the elderly @Bassmaster_Vol not sayin you’re old but it’s a opportunity for you to get what you need.

Pretty much all groceries are offering a 7am-8am slot on different mornings for seniors, although I was at Kroger the other day and no employee was at the door screening and pretty sure not everyone shopping was a senior. Fortunately there was only a handful of people in the store and I wore gloves and an N95 mask.

Why in the world does a lay person need an N95 mask?

Don't fully agree with either extreme but dang, the pattern is redundant.

Post the low infected and mortality rate - response: "but that's with the safety measures, the issue is if unchecked". Someone reposts the low rates without addressing the rebuttal.

Post "it's only these people that are going to die" - response: "but with full hospitals, other groups will die equally from lack of care"
Someone reposts the 'only this group' without addressing the rebuttal.

The rest are checking in for the roller coaster that is VN and getting stuck on a cheap merry-go-round instead
The beauty, nothing we say impacts a single thing anyway, silly to let it cause too much strife.

yep. problem is while nothing anyone says impacts anything, when those beliefs drive actions contrary to what is being asked of people to stop/slow the spread, then it does.....

i think it's a good conversation to have (i'd be a hypocrite if i said otherwise at this point lol) if for no other reason, it may get a few people to at least look at it a bit differently than they had before. i'll be honest, i've "rethunk" it a couple of times over the past month or so.....

and i would hope more people would keep a relatively open mind about it, because there is so much about this that is still in the "learning" stage, that things are, and will, change...what they said yesterday, changes today....some of htat has already happened...lol. so understanding that we don't know what we don't know.....when we do, it's worth a listen....

like today...apparently we all need masks now. that's great. good timing. lol.....bandana sales thru the roof, amazon can't keep 'em on the shelf! lol.

Tennessee may be the worst State in the Union to catch Covid in. You are on your own.

You ain't gettin' any help from Governor slapnuts.

well, apparently they just decided that last night, so there's some new info apparently....

 

[smokeyz1]

I seen trump talking about that yesterday what did they do?

3M is a global company that is based in the US. They were apparently still shipping many Masks outside the US while at the same time trying to increase imports into the US from their Chinese factories. Their normal distribution within the US is to ship to other re-sellers. Some of those re-sellers apparently are selling to highest bidders (including outside the US) instead of selling to Hospitals, 1st responders, etc.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

I seen trump talking about that yesterday what did they do?

I’ve seen two reports, one that they were selling large quantities of N95 masks to highest bidding countries, another that the Chinese president ordered them to NOT export the masks to the US. Either is a very bad look.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

How do you know I am a lay person?

Actually, I keep N95s and respirators in my tool shed because i do woodwork and work with varnishes, sealers, lacquers, creosote, etc, so always wear protective gear when working with those products.

So now you know why.

dude was such a class act.

I think it would work just as well as an N-95 to wear a pair of women's thongs or g-string on your face. That could also be the fashion statement of the era

Don't know if this image will show, but it is 2 guys in China wearing brightly colored women's panties.

Yeah, the hospital overrun is the one almost no one touches when it's brought back up.

Temporary hospitals in Central Park, New Orleans Convention Center.

I guess more people will figure it out if Tennessee starts experiencing it in the next few weeks. They are already prepping Music City Center.

Around we go.

 

[InVOLuntary]

i think we're a lot closer to this, than a vaccine. i saw a video on a test like this the other day...basically it's like a pregnancy test......and if nothing else, if we can screen everyone between now, and the vaccine, we can at least reasonably determine who should be doing what from a qurantining standpoint, and have some reasonable expectations on cotainment, medical resource needs, and ultimately getting closer to normal....

cause really, i don't see the point in getting back to normal if we still have millions of untested folks out there that some % are infectious and don't know it.

If the antibody/plasma treatment turns out to be successful, it would also aid in identifying those that have been cured and can donate blood plasma.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Agree. many any who have symptoms don't get tested. They don't even want you to go to the hospital unless you have shortness of breath. So not only are many asymptomatic and not counted, many who have symptoms don't get identified, tested, and counted.

And those asymptomatic walk around at the same grocery and supply stores as you do...and will never know that they spread it.

If there are 150+ thousand "confirmed" cases fight now...I freaking guarantee you that there 300,000 to a 1 mil real cases at least.

And this is with the semi-aggressive shutdown and a very small number of cases. Image what would happen if exponential growth was allowed without challenge.

Of course it's possible the virus would spontaneously mutate in 1M people simultaneously, and be rendered less lethal than the common cold. Did I do that right?

They are wearing them upside down from what I'm thinking of. I think silk lace ones would be best.

Best player ive seen in my time as a fan. Watching these highlights also reminds one how bad the pussification of football has gotten. EB would’ve been suspended for half his career

hence the stay at home orders, and social distancing measures....there's no guarantees, it's just about mitigation of risk at this point.....

which is why we're seeing more states jump on board with these orders the past couple days.

and why the screening type tests are needed. sounds like we're close on that....so we'll see.

f*** 3M.that should be some kind of violation and a huge fine

I wonder if the SA Company is seeing a run on their face shields during this? I have several, both the thin ones and the thermal ones, for cold weather. The idea of thong-designed face shields might be an idea that appeals to them.

Face Shields

Is it possible to find a grill set in Knoxville with Dallas Cowboys logos on it or that one of them tings you have to order online?

It’s not hit hard enough here I think to where people take it seriously but last week I went to Atlanta and it seemed like everyone had a mask on...it was different for sure it’s still out of the ordinary for me but it is what it is.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If you believe it's that infectious, as do I, then it's just perspective on what each of us consider "outlier".
14% of known cases reach hospitalization stage and that is when varying degrees of damage occurs.

We agree on the "crazy ease of infection".
For me, a disease that can transmit thru the population with that level of ease, 14% of those are at high risk for damage, isn't a negligible number.
I'm not trying to change your opinion, haven't done so with anyone.

Key word in there 14% of KNOWN cases require hospitalization..That number is nowhere close to 14% in true cases...BUT..It is a lot of people either way because of lack of immunity+ ease of infection...those two factors take a "meh" thing and make it a "oh holy crap" thing.

Either way it is scary because it is a mathematical certainty that barring you living in a bunker for a year...you and your family WILL come into contact with this, and probably infected to one degree or another before a vaccine is available.

It sucks, but that is the truth...if anybody here thinks we are stopping it now..we are not, we are just making it take longer.
