Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Look at this dangerous criminal, clearly spreading that Coronavirus around ...

Paddleboarder arrested for ignoring California’s stay-at-home order
Kim Prather, who works at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, said the beach could be one of the most dangerous places in California amid the outbreak. She said she fears the virus is being washed into the ocean and transferred back into the air along the coast.

“I wouldn’t go in the water if you paid me $1 million right now,” Prather said.

Is there even a slight amount of evidence to support this? I Googled it and found a bunch of stories, but they were all just this same lady.

The virus is supposedly hydrophobic. I highly doubt it is living in the ocean, and I highly doubt an "oceanography" expert is qualified to speak on the virus at all.
 
I like your optomism.
Not sure I would call it optimism because if the numbers don't correlate with the narrative, they will just take a page from Rush Limbaugh's playbook and claim the stats have been inflated in order to advance an agenda and hurt Trump's reelection efforts. This is the modern day Republican Party. It is the party of conspiracy theorists and disinformation campaigns.
 
I admire your optimism.

Just sitting in the middle of the road. It's a new virus for us, so many unknowns. But, doesn't appear to be any better or worse than N1H1. IMHO as not a doctor of course. But, I'm in a fairly unaffected area, and have a stellar immune system. I just go about my business. The primary difference is who was president when each one broke out. Which naturally dictated the politicizing of American fear. I would say neither president gets an A for handling it. Neither gets an F. One did react sooner, but still gets ostracized.

There is a systemic response to what the body considers "other". The body recognizes something as "not me" it starts a cascade of responses. Acquired immunity (vaccines) come packaged with some handy little extras called adjuvants. Those adjuvants are also
"not me" the natural cascade of defenses kick in. Some settle in the brain, like aluminum.
Wherever the body that response takes place there is inflammation. Brain and lungs.
Oh I want to hear this one. Explain this.

Thanks, I guess. Now I have to wonder about all of those vaccines I was given in the Army.

There wont be a playbook needed. These idiots were predicting millions dead. With the numbers looking like they are now and if we can get the economy resuscitated, he will stroll to reelection.

Lol. The post itself would be funny. Combined with the name, it's concerning.

More of a reaction to trump being ostracized by the media and the left. Of all things to be concerned about right now, Pelosi announced her intent to investigate Trumps reaction to the virus. It never stops. She is a primary breeder of what has been coming from the right for several years on now. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The best way to quell the BS is to quell the BS.

Do you even know what they were for? I remember going to Germany in the mid 60's and having to go to the hospital for three straight days and getting something like 6 to 7 shots a day. They may have done me a favor because I never get sick. I might a Jason Bourne and don't know it.

Your crazies made us crazy? Am I following you correctly?
 
I'm not going to argue with you or debate the subject. There are 95% of the people that vaccinate their children and 5% that don't. The 5% are going to kill far more people than the 95% will.
I dont doubt that.

For the record 3.6% of the population is immunocompromised. And most are cancer or transplant patients. Couldnt find hard numbers on those born with it. But even half is less than 2%, and I find that a bad number to base policy on.

There are options for them. They arent ignored, this isnt the only option. As we have seen the government is willing to take our rights for far less than 2%.

No. It was an assembly line of shots before I went to Korea and more when I got there. Even more shots before we went to Panama. Then even more shots before every deployment. I still have my shot record, I might pull it out just to see.
 
I'm a nurse but I'm also very much a naturalist. I have seen our profession go from supportive to short term conditions that are survivable to throwing everything and the kitchen sink at people who are trying to die and we just won't let them.
Sounds like dollar reasons to me.

I haven't seen any estimates of "millions dead". The estimates I have seen from Dr. Fauci were between 100,000 and 200,000. The numbers are definitely not in line with the common cold... which is what your own idiot Rush Limbaugh called it.
 
My guess is the body count will be far under those ridiculous numbers they've been giving us. I think it started at 2.2 million predicted. Then it was 240K. I think the most recent number was 100K.
several years ago my wife was always amazed how accurately I could predict how long it would take us to get to Knoxville. Sometimes 9 hours sometimes 10.5. Since I controlled the gas pedal and how often and long we stopped I was pretty good. I hope our leaders don’t take the same approach to meet their estimates 😬

I would be more inclined to say the majority of each were already crazy and just feed off each other. But, it is like a playground fight. So and so started it, and they just keep on and on and on looking for anything to blame the other for..
