Flubros and Flubras! Day 140 ( a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Coronavirus deaths are dropping nationally. It’s all about applying the pressure to politicians now. They often don’t change policies instantly - pressure on them now to end the lockdowns will pay off down the road.

-

Great to see recreational basketball and baseball ramping up where I live in the suburbs of Houston. Swimming, football and water polo are still not competing. Are youth sports competing where you are or are they still too shut down?

-

I know it is not a principled stand that I am taking by doing this but wearing a mask and just keeping it below the nose is tolerable. I breathe through my nose anyway and I have only had one person tell me my mask was on wrong so far (I 100% ignored what that person said). This technique is good enough to get me into church, kids’ sports, and the very rare shopping that I do.

Take your 5m cases and rotate it. you egg heads miss the obvious. ITS EVERYWHERE! everyone has been exposed so take your probable wildly inflated number against the whole population and the death rate is squat.

now take you “ factual” numbers and figure how many people they were in contact with and how many those people were in contact with and so on and its all a joke! you feed on the Marxist tit long enough and you start thinking like one .

WAKE UP!!

Reminds me of Matthew 18 where it discusses how to handle a person who is publicly sinning. People can disagree with the degree to which a pastor has rules but I don’t think they can disagree that a church can set rules on its membership. Those rules can be set by the church membership or a top down structure - but there still can be rules. The Catholic Church is more of a top down hierarchy than most churches - to that I can agree. But the notion that a church can’t impose rules on its members seems not to fit in with the idea of how membership in any group works, religious or not.

If everyone has had it, no one else should be getting diagnosed anymore and nobody else should ever die from it again.

Ask the front-line doctors right here if that’s their experience. The idea that it’s done and over with is pure fantasy. It will not be done and over with until we get a safe and effective vaccine, which President Trump has been pushing hard for a few months. And now we hear (from both the President and the companies working on them) that they’re very close, in record time.

Matthew 18:15-18 is the only Scripture that shows ex-communication.

You: No probably but simple numbers.

LIBERTY FOR SAFETY is what it comes down to.
In today’s terminology, the founding fathers would have
shouted a collective “F__K YOU” to the marxists pushing this agenda.

“But the notion that a church can’t impose rules on its members seems not to fit in with the idea of how membership in any group works, religious or not.”

Our church has rules. Boy! Does our church have rules! It’s just that the pastor isn’t a dictator.

You have more hope in a vaccine than I do. I suspect this will end up
combined with the yearly influenza vaccine and about as effective. No the fatality rate is not trivial people do die from it but so far what I have seen is on par with H1N1. a retaining nothing to inspire mass panic and economic suicide.

yokel, well I will give you simple numbers that even you could understand

You can read this medical white paper

Clinical Course and Molecular Viral Shedding Among Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Community Treatment Center in the Republic of Korea

In this cohort study of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection isolated in a community treatment center in the Republic of Korea, (36.3%) were asymptomatic at the time of isolation and of these (19.1%) developed symptoms during isolation. The cycle threshold values of reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic patients were similar to those in symptomatic patients.

Main outcomes and measures

Epidemiologic, demographic, and laboratory data were collected and analyzed. Attending health care personnel carefully identified patients’ symptoms during isolation. The decision to release an individual from isolation was based on the results of reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay from upper respiratory tract specimens (nasopharynx and oropharynx swab) and lower respiratory tract specimens (sputum) for SARS-CoV-2. This testing was performed on days 8, 9, 15, and 16 of isolation. On days 10, 17, 18, and 19, RT-PCR assays from the upper or lower respiratory tract were performed at physician discretion. Cycle threshold (Ct) values in RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 detection were determined in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients.

The proportions of participants with a negative conversion at day 14 and day 21 from diagnosis were 33.7% and 75.2%, respectively, in asymptomatic patients and 29.6% and 69.9%, respectively, in symptomatic patients (including presymptomatic patients). The median (SE) time from diagnosis to the first negative conversion was 17 (1.07) days for asymptomatic patients and 19.5 (0.63) days for symptomatic (including presymptomatic) patients (P = .07). The Ct values for the envelope (env) gene from lower respiratory tract specimens showed that viral loads in asymptomatic patients from diagnosis to discharge tended to decrease more slowly in the time interaction trend than those in symptomatic (including presymptomatic) patients (β = −0.065 [SE, 0.023]; P = .005).
simple enough fer ye, Cletus?

164K death out of 5000K cases. That’s a death rate of 3.24% — seasonal flu is about 0.1%. So Covid is about 30 times more lethal.

Your post is a demonstrable lie. Does that bother you at all?

It's everywhere - Nah, the USA leads the world in testing thanks to President Trump. And with that, 5 million have been infected, that's not "everywhere"
