I can think of many causes for those circumstances, but it’s difficult to say much about it without an example. Perhaps the holodomor in Ukraine. At any rate I don’t think it would be reasonable to blame it on free markets.

Yep, and there was the good ole New York Times lead reporter Walter Duranty assuring Americans it wasn't happening and that Stalin was a real stand up guy.

Also, Covid hit close to home this week. My friends wife tested positive this week, and they were at our pool last week. Only reason they got tested was bc they were at a bbq the eve before for a friend that was leaving for deployment. He tested positive upon arriving in Texas, but felt fine, no symptoms.
Back to my friends wife, she’s positive, but they’re 2 kids and he tested negative?!?
Our friend on deployment that tested positive, the rest of his family tested negative.
If this “virus” is spread so easily...how can a husband and wife doing adult things not spread it to one another?!?! Serious question, I’d like to know.

Extra freaky sex where they don’t kiss, just make intense eye contact.

Thinking of purchasing a pellet grill/smoker. Since I've never gotten one before I don't want to dump a lot of money on a Traeger. Any other advice or recommendations on a middle of the road, newbie grill/smoker?

I bought a Pit Boss at Lowe’s and really like it. I was the same as you. Just couldn’t drop the money on a Traeger.

Similar thing happened on the cruise ship that was trapped when all this started. They were confined to quarters and breathing recycled air. Husband was positive but wife was not. Exposure doesn't always equal infection. This happens with every contagious disease even ones that are more contagious than this one. That said, it could also be the cycle of the illness. It may be too early in the illnesses cycle for a positive to show up on a test.

At any rate, hopefully they continue to test negative and anyone who is positive cruises through the illness with the least amount of symptoms possible.

All they had to do is have all the big time football coaches make a video saying

DO YOU WANT COLLEGE FOOTBALL THIS YEAR? IT WON'T HAPPEN UNLESS YOU WEAR A MASK!

I bet that would've convinced a lot of people

I've come to the conclusion that the industry that is college football is too greedy to not have a football season.

I also believe all big time teams need to pick up one or two local smaller schools to help them keep going.

I’ve been doing COVID testing for about three months now, and obviously I have to wear a mask at all times at work. It starts to suck at the end of the day. I feel for anyone with impaired breathing.

My left lung is about 15% scarred, it is all in the lower part of the lobe. My right lung has a spot right in the middle of the lobe...approximately 5% according to my doctor..

Makes for a fun day.

I've had a hell of a scare the last couple of days. Yesterday, I was doing some stuff around the house, started getting out of breath way more than typical and sweating profusely. This morning I woke up and couldn't seem to get enough air and wheezing. The only thing that kept me from going and getting tested was that my fever stayed around 97.6. I finally ended up taking some antihistamines and I finally could breathe like normal.

I came to the conclusion that when i was out working a few days back that I trigured my asthma which I haven't had issues with in over 10 years.

It's scary how it is now and having to worry about every cough and sneeze.
