Coronavirus, how are you preparing for it and how it is affecting you so far?

Latest news report that most people that have the virus (and have had) don't even know they got it:

I brought up before that odds are this virus will probably make its way through the population anyway and the lockdown prove to be a needless expensive waste of time. Our Mobers rubbished that idea at the time but it is increasingly looking to being the case.

If figures from northern Italy are anything to go by half of the population will have had it by now. So just the other half left to get it if that. The best we might have done is delay some people catching it, but at great cost to the economy. The global recession/depression that could now ensue could be far worse than the virus on people's lives.

Only good news may be that once this virus has worked its way through the population it may eventually fizzle out as weaker strains evolve and anti-bodies develop.

Coronavirus: Majority testing positive have no symptoms

[Trenchcoat]

Now, now Mobers, let's put this silliness behind us. No point in only being able to see a part of someone's discussion. I'll agree to not requote CB's posts if you agree to unblock me, what do you say old chum?

Recent report from Black Sea resorts in Russia and Ukraine of people defying the social distancing measures there. Packed out on the beaches:

http://www.euronews.com/2020/07/07/coronavirus-few-masks-and-little-distancing-as-thousands-pack-black-sea-beaches-in-russia

Likely to really push up cases out there I would have thought. Even still at present either FSU countries aren't reporting correctly or the present and to date relatively low numbers may point to some natural resistance in Slavic people perhaps.

[msmob]

SC can walk to the beach, from home, but is driving THEN walking to keep away from the holiday makers ...not taking walks along the front in the evenings ..

She's always pleased when she has the beach to herself ...her diving platform ..

Ahh, to be a Keyboard Romeo

How it affected the most well known FSU traveller

Mr Bald and Bankrupt got COVID-19 in his forties, watched people die alone and describes the effects on his body.. one somewhat alarming ..Anyone dismissive of this virus needs to watch this..

Never thought we would have mutual interests but I was just about to post the same video.  I have watched many of his adventure videos and enjoyed them.   Agree, this is something people need to watch.

In addition, I have been binge watching about a dozen sailboat cruiser videos over the past couple of months.  I have not known anyone that has caught Covid-19 but this link is to a series that I have followed from beginning to end.  Unfortunately, this very popular sailing blogger got Covid-19 and his wife tells the story about how quickly it all came about.  It was a shock to watch his last video a week before and then find this end to their story.

BTW. after watching this video I went to a CVS pharmacy and bought one of those oxygen monitoring devices you clip on your finger and it was only $50.  Both videos mentioned that the oxygen % in the blood is a critical indicator of your condition.  The last video indicated that is when the hospital decides to put you on a ventilator.

[msmob]

Wow!

I follow 10 plus bluewater cruisers, but not this family and watched the vid... Powerful stuff.

I will watch Patrick's last vid, later ..


Another member was first to post Mr Bald's vid in another thread ( JohnDearGreen) - although I only realised, after.

Thank you, for sharing Rebecca's video.

[2tallbill]

well, Rice University had it's first case yesterday from a traveler,
I told my daughter if cases develop from no known contact source to come home
and be quarantined...

I signed up as a volunteer at Rice to test a lab grown covid-19 anti-body as a potential treatment and got the injection today
i'm not sure if I get the placebo or not, I didn't have much of any reaction yet...
i'm supposed to take my pulse and temp twice per day for the next two weeks and get 4 blood tests

next flu season is when this will rage like an Australian wildfire here in Texas

we are in deep doo doo here folks

and beyond survival.....
poverty always trails closely behind his ole pal plague
expect USA GDP to drop 10% next year
hospitals way past overflowing
a rising number of unemployed people fearing over their lack of health insurance
every market has crashed everywhere with huge losses
all schools, restaurants, public places shut down
global travel severely restricted
and that's just next year....
it's gonna get worse the year after that
and worse the year after that
and worse...

here in the USA...
if this strain of SARS, which was completely unknown ANYWHERE in the world less than a year ago
gets to the same level of infection as the flu
it will infect millions and kill hundreds of thousands
EVERY YEAR

at that point the USA is completely shutdown like Wuhan
and everyone is locked in their house

get the picture now folks?

Coronavirus, the previous Doomsday plot

[krimster2]

wait...I thought you said, TRANSEXUALS were the REAL doomsday plot....
not some ole virus that ONLY killed 1.2 million+ Americans and did $Trillions in economic damage and still manages to kill over 30 Americans each and every day-

which means that even the VERY day you made this post, we will lose more Americans DAILY to Covid, than we did at the peak of the Vietnam war
so NOT A BIG DEAL TO YOU comapred to the danger of rainbow flags and spanish speakin immigrants
Trump's first term as President just happened to coincide with the largest mass death in US History, and ya don't think there's some kinda "causal relationship," in that?

whattabout transexuals and their rainbow flags, SO WHAT?
why are you so fixated on this!!!!
are you worried they gonna look at yur little pee pee and laugh at ya?
how scary...
look if yur worried somebody from the LGBTQIA+ community is gonna catch a glimpse of yur willy at the urinal
just use a stall instead...problem solved!

OTOH, I love the French pissoirs...and if my wife's not nearby to scold me, I do all kindsa comical stuff to amuse random pedestrians passing by

so BEEL
ONCE AGAIN....thank you for showing the world what ya really are
a COMPLETE and TOTAL right wing Archie Bunker type of COMPLETELY UNEDUCATED moron who "thinks" Covid was no big deal, cuz it didn't kill anyone in HIS family
and that Trump is the Orange Jesus who must be worshipped as the Great White Hope for a savior

musta taken ya awhile to comb through every post, looking for Ammo to shoot at me. and ya found a hyperbolic BB I fired from my Red Ryder BB gun 5 years ago
also, thank you for letting me live rent free in your head
BTW, can you fix the hole in the back? bugs come in...


PS
I wish otherwise, but yur not really a worthy opponent for me to clash swords with and yur even worse at clashing with words
due to yur being completely oblivious to yur own deeply rooted ignorance
becuz of a lack of either formal or informal education...and yur GED and Wikipedia just can't fill that big of a void

keep trying though...I find yur efforts amusing....
cuz you ALWAYS end up skewering yurself after you shout "en garde!"
so this post of yurs is in effect you saying "touché"
gee..if only you ever read a book once in awhile...

PS
why is Trump failing in the Ukrainian Peace Crisis?
it's the SAME reason he failed the Covid Crisis
cuz Trump's focus is ALWAYS on Trump
like this
http://www.huffpost.com/entry/jb-pritzker-donald-trump-covid-19-equipment_n_67dbe785e4b07481408d6bea

every crisis is an opportunity for Trump to exploit for his own gain
Covd, Ukraine, Biden's age
Trump the Kleptocrat, is always Trump's priority

I can't wait until you find out, what voting for Trump is going to cost ya in the future
checked yur retirement fund lately? LOL!!!

wait...I thought you said, TRANSEXUALS were the REAL doomsday plot....

It's about kids, you mischaracterize the argument even though you have daughters.

Illinois School Staff Watched To Ensure Girls Changed In Front Of Trans-Identifying Boy, Mom Says
The mother has filed a civil rights complaint with the Justice Department
The mother of a girl attending an Illinois middle school said that after her
daughter refused to change her clothes in front of a biological boy who
identified as a transgender girl, school officials stepped in and forced
her to do so.

Nicole Georgas told the story of what she said happened to her
13-year-old daughter and other girls at Shepard Middle School while speaking at a
Deerfield School District 109 School Board meeting on Thursday,
National Review reported. Deerfield is a suburb of Chicago.
Georgas said her daughter came home upset on
February 5, saying a boy was using the girl’s
bathroom.

According to Georgas, the girl was then told by school administrators that
the boy was allowed to use the girl’s locker room and bathroom because
he identified as a girl, and the school’s “inclusive” bathroom policy
allowed him to use whichever locker room he wanted. Georgas
said she spoke to school administrators and told them they
were violating President Donald Trump’s executive order that
prohibited males from using female locker rooms and participating
in girls’ sports. The school stood its ground, citing the district’s legal counsel.

UCLA student sues California doctors, says she was 'fast-tracked'
into transgender surgery
The lawsuit alleges Kaya Clementine Breen, 20, was misdiagnosed with
gender dysphoria and rushed into “irreversibly damaging” transition-related treatment and surgery.

http://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/ucla-student-sues-california-doctors-says-was-fast-tracked-transgender-rcna183815


More on Clementine Breen
Before she was old enough to drive a car, get a tattoo, or buy a ticket to an R-rated movie, doctors rushed Clementine Breen into highly invasive life altering “gender affirming care.” Doctors put Clementine on puberty blockers when she was 12 years old, cross-sex hormones when she was 13 years old, and performed a double mastectomy on her when she was just 14 years old.

http://libertycenter.org/cases/clementine/


Even more on Clementine Breen
Quote "I’ve been going off testosterone since 17 because it gave me psychosis. […] I don’t know how a child could consent to the loss of their fertility.

I was sexually abused as a child, and that was totally ignored. I started having a lot of negative feelings about my body around puberty. I was egged on by some guidance counselors that I might be transgender, and I later decided I was really a boy and my life would be so much easier because of all of this abuse I had experienced because of being a woman, and I totally just rejected womanhood because I thought that all that it meant for me was pain.

Getting out of it was a really difficult process for me. Mostly it was just getting the right therapy, and we never discussed my gender. We only discussed my sexual abuse. And after I dealt with that, I realized I didn’t want to do this anymore. The loss of my fertility really started to sink in, and I thought, “Oh my God, I built this entire persona around misogyny.”

This is a 90% 10% debate that the left keeps defending. Leave them kids alone.

Wait a minute. Krimster said it was because I was afraid some tranny would see my pee-pee.

The argument is about teenage girls like Clementine Breen

[krimster2]

"The argument is about teenage girls..."
which I'm sure that someone with yur vast education and knowledge would consider themselves to be a true unbiased expert
whose credentials speak for themselves...
and therefor, in yur case, they are completely silent

and becuz the right wing media doesn't wanna talk about failing economics or a failing democracy
they talk about winning the 'culture war' instead

you are 'transfixed'
by completely irrelevant right wing BS they spoon feed ya
becuz you are UNABLE to think past it
and deal with any of the REAL issues that are gonna effect ya
which are exacerbated by the candidate you chose to vote for

you are more the problem, than the solution to this country's ills
J'Accuse you of being a fake Christian who worships the anti-christ while breaking the 'commandments'
who has shown us the TRUE REASON why he NEVER has anything intelligent to say

[2tallbill]

and I do this once per week

then,
I go to the hardware store
and buy wire, nails, motion sensing lights, more rechargable battery’s, lights
and also go to the closest sporting good store once per week
and buy the maximum limits of ammo
and keep stockpiling 9mm, 22 LR, 38 special/357

debating whether or not I should do things
like buy 10,000 high quality BIC lighters
and put them in long term sealed storage for two years
and then sell them for a HUGE profit or trade

I’ve made a few good silver deals lately!
when will precious metal refinery’s open again?

15 KW Generac on its own concrete pad
gives me two freezers and one full refrigerator with 100 % guaranteed power with HVAC and lighting, internet and TV and 24/7 Security Monitoring!!
automatic switch to power from natural gas during extended blackouts
takes a couple of seconds to boot on/off
almost maintenance-free

fire-proof roof, tile with with underlying insulation/retardant material
next up is shatter-proof armored windows
and then new reinforced door frames
and new steel doors

followed by a multi-floor fire protection system

this is called being at least semi-prepared
will have a minimum of 6 months of food, but probably closer to a year's worth, six months from now
a LOT of supply chains are gonna snap

I'm expecting huge riots over things like food, massive looting and fires
it will be dangerous to leave your house during this period

last week, when I was driving in downtown Houston
I saw a huge group of protestors
and I decided to drive around them!!
but it was a crowd of thousands!

imagine this many people coming at you at once
and they're armed with baseball bats, knives, guns
and molotov cocktails

but that could never happen...

The king of credibility with doomsday bunker tips, lectures others about
"deal with any of the REAL issues that are gonna effect ya"

Please, tell us more about your next doomsday prediction, while insulting
those who don't buy into your trope.

wait...I thought you said, TRANSEXUALS were the REAL doomsday plot....
not some ole virus that ONLY killed 1.2 million+ Americans and did $Trillions in economic damage and still manages to kill over 30 Americans each and every day-

You can't defend the indefensible, so you either mischaracterize the argument or deflect along with an
ad hominem attack.

You are the one who brought up the trans argument because you thought you were smart enough
to defend mutilating kids or forcing middle school girls to change their clothes in from of boys. You
didn't do so well did you?

[2tallbill]

wait...I thought you said, TRANSEXUALS were the REAL doomsday plot....
not some ole virus that ONLY killed 1.2 million+ Americans and did $Trillions in economic damage and still manages to kill over 30 Americans each and every day-

Fentanyl, brought to the USA by team Biden for which the CDC estimates 79,815 deaths between September
2022 and August 2023.

The Trillions in economic damage were caused from leftists. My friend Geo had stage 4 lung cancer.
Cause of death was listed as "covid"

[krimster2]

why are Republicans cutting Health, Education (including "special ed"), and child Welfare and child labor laws, if their primary motive is to protect Children, kinda contradictory doncha think?

in that weird place called "REALITY" Republican attacks on the Trans community, have nothing at all to do with 'protecting children'  becuz republicans don't give a damn about protecting ANYONE's children, and neither do you

what Republicans wanna protect is the "status quo"
and to preserve the status quo, the LGQT+ community is a group that must be targeted along with every other democratic party affiliated demographic under the DEI umbrella
so that the oligarchy continues to rule the country without that pesky democracy...maybe they can make a Trans vote to equal 3/5 of a hetero vote for voter districting

so no one really died of Covid, it was all fake to damage Trump's presidency?
what a brilliant idea, you can't blame Trump for something that never happened

isn't THAT EXACTLY what Ted Cruz told us, after Trump accused Ted's father of the kennedy assassination?
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/national-enquirer-ted-cruz-father-rafael-lee-harvey-oswald-rcna149027
Ted Cruz's father, genital mutilation, bleach cures covid
uneducated rednecks believe ALL OF IT

my satirical Bunker Tips, are like pearls cast before Swine
if you don't appreciate my humor, feel free not to laugh and root in right wing garbage instead...

once more you try to engage me in a knife fight, and as usual,  ya stick the blade in yurself
I don't even need to bring my own weapons, I just take yurs

you're dumb enuff to wanna fight me, but no where near educated enuff to even scratch me, homeboy
the worst you can do is to tell stupid lies about me
as I continue to tell the truth about you

that you are the personification of an angry UNEDUCATED white man
whose vote for Trump will phuque over his and his children's future MORE in just the next 6 months,  than all the transexuals, mexiricans, and poofter libruls could do in a million years
to me, that is direct evidence of yur intellectual and educational deficiency
and you can post every single post of mine...and it will only further reinforce this indisputable fact

back in the time period when Vance thought Trump was "America's Hitler" (to me, there's NO Doubt of this being 100% TRUE)
he done wrote one of them thar books that you don't ever read called "Hillbilly Elegy"
where Vance raises questions about the responsibility of the local Appalcian Hillbilly's for their own misfortunes.

which is EXACTLY what I'm tellin ya as well
that yur misfortune is all becuz of yur own deficiencies

but you don't want to accept responsibility for yur lack of education...
you wanna find some underdog to blame instead

how noble and uplifting it must make ya feel
that if it weren't fer librul idealogy "standing in yur way" you'd be another Elon Musk

LOL!!!

[2tallbill]

why are Republicans cutting Health, Education (including "special ed"), and child Welfare and child labor laws, if their primary motive is to protect Children, kinda contradictory doncha think?

LOL!!!

The left is lying, there is no plan yet. They just passed a continuing resolution. Do you know what
that means? It means they are continuing the last budget passed and signed by Joey-Boy-Biden.
Do you believe that a continuing resolution means something different? Or do you just obey what
the left tells you to do, say and think?

[krimster2]

when the resolution which is essentially the third stopgap expires

then it's back to this
http://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-republican-house-budget-resolutions-potential-880-billion-in-medicaid-cuts-by-congressional-district/
and all the other cuts including elimination of the entire Dept of Education so states like Texas can use public funds to teach religion
and cuts to social security and IRS staffing

all the cuts will be combined with tarriffs paid for by the poor and middle class to offset tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans
that's their ONLY purpose

and this is ONLY the beginning of the damage Trump is gonna do to the WHOLE WORLD
wait until April's new tarriffs and counter tarriffs are announced
the EU gets tarriffs for supplying weapons to Ukraine, while eventually Russian sanctions will be removed so Trump can launder Russian money through his crypto and real estate

[krimster2]

"the left is lying, there is no plan yet."

there is MOST definitely a Republican plan, it's pretty well documented...
it just hasn't been passed yet

Trump has a plan about sanctions, how many times has that plan 'shifted'
or his peace plan for ukraine

the only lying here, is you and Trump

I like how you deflect from yur 'lack of education" with a pointless argument
that's another clue that tells me I'm correct about you having a GED as yur highest level of education
and you don't have any intellectual curiosity, so you haven't read anything other than Breibart

you quote right wing propaganda the way Trump quotes Russian propaganda
a mind is a terrible thing to waste white boy

OTOH, getting wasted is the cat's meoooowwww

[2tallbill]

when the resolution which is essentially the third stopgap expires

Exactly, it's back to the left lying about what the Republicans will do. You haven't read the plan, you just
linked a leftist article about what the leftists plans to lie about.

Here is a link to the actual legislative text. So stop repeating the lies written by others. There are NO cuts
that your silly article says. It's a lie, they make stuff up and because the budget is boring to read, the
lazy media take the leftists politicians word for it rather than read the whole thing to figure out what
the truth is for themselves.
