I was so depressed last night thinking of the Virus, economy, jobs, Social Security, my savings, etc, I called the Suicide Hot Line.   I got a Call Center in Afghanistan, and when I told them I was su

It’s all a matter of what your goal is. If it’s saving lives, then LumRaiderFan’s point is well-made. I guess it comes down to what is an “acceptable” mortality rate? Moreover, Who decides what is acc

How about this: We can all agree that masks either work or they don’t, right? If they work, why did businesses have to close? If they don’t, why are we wearing them?

Okay, let me blow off a little “Stay at Home” steam.   First, it aggravates the 💩 out of me that the Media is waiting with bated breath for the news that you can catch Covid 19(84) again.   And they love the fortune tellers that say, “It’ll be worse next winter”.   Basically, I’m sick of them getting orgasmic over every potential bit of bad News.

My solution - tell everyone of them their paychecks stop at the end of July if the Pandemic is not over.   Them halfwits would scour the world for potential good news.  As long as they’re working, shut’er down.  Equivalent of humans searching for carrion.  Freaking boil on the buttocks of humanity.   

Thanks for sharing my frustration & pain.

Well hello, hello.  Here’s a start.  Doubt it’s enough, but it’s starting to affect the Media.

Things are bad and I’m afraid they’re about to get worse. 
 

The only light that I can see is if the mortality rate stays relatively low. We’ve seen a crush of new infections, but there hasn’t been an increase in deaths.... yet. 
 

Too many people pretending that things are all back to normal a little too early. I know of two kids getting tested mid-week last week... they’d been sharing a vape pen over the weekend with somebody who came down with it on Monday. 
 

I also have some extended family that all loaded up and went on vacay to Tennessee. Families from Jasper, Cypress, and Lum all went and stayed together. Some of them are awaiting test results right now. You just can’t do that right now. 
 

I was at a SMALL weddin(<40 people) last week and people kept encouraging me to “go meet all of his family.” Nope. Maybe when this plays out.  I don’t even want to be around the people that I know right now.

I agree, some people making bad decisions.

But sharing a vape pen? Were they in a circle? Lol. Puff, puff, hold. New normal.

My question, again, would be:  Are they counting "actual" cases are counting anyone that "may" have been exposed?

There’s so much garbage info floating around these days from all angles. 
 

I know that there’s been a lot more testing lately, and I’m hearing of more and more people that are infected. I can think of five that I know right now and several awaiting results. That wasn’t the case a month ago.

Are any of these folks hospitalized or in danger from covid 19 that don’t have any other health issues?

Does it really matter? Believe what you want, you have that right. It's all crazy right now. But my coworker's brother in moss bluff does have it. So it's not a complete lie.

Yes it matters, very much.  If we are going to simply go off of numbers, we will shut this country down every flu season.

Anyone remember H1N1, those were actual numbers, not skewed for more funding or to make Trump look bad, and did we shut down the country?

The reporting of numbers, either actual or falsified, will not change the virus. I haven't seen anything about new mutations. It's still spreads as it did on day 1. Probably just as deadly too. Although I do think we were lied to about the projections by these so called experts.

First understand what I'm saying.   They are saying rapid rise in cases.   What they are doing is if one has it then they ask how many have they been in contact with.  If they say 40 then they are counting it as 41 cases NOT 1 like they should.   Now you see my point?   So, yes, it does matter if one wants the truth.

Yes I understand the count is being inflated. We want the truth. But with so many people spewing facts/fiction, who do we believe? If we believe the lies, and stay as safe as possible, we should survive this. If we fail to heed the warnings and continue to think that we are invincible, our time in this world may be shorter than expected. Life moves pretty fast. Don't blink, you just might miss it.

The local health departments are counting confirmed tests results, not contacts. I don’t know what’s happening elsewhere.

My own feeling is this:  Whenever you reopen the country, be it last month, next month, October, or whenever, you are going to have a flurry of cases.  The virus will not disappear just because we have less contact with one another.

I think you've got a good point here. If anyone thought it was just going to disappear they were delusional.

      Republicans don't deserve...

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
