Kenton Co has its first death. A 60 year old. No other information so far.

I’ll ask again, what is the number, either of deaths or cases, that you think what has been done in OH and KY would be justified?

 

You can move to TN, btw. I’m sure you can find a Frisch’s there.

 

Without the media, we wouldn’t have any idea what is going. And while the media may have contributed to some of the panic, I can’t imagine the fear, and panic that would result from us not knowing anything at all. Yes, media is a business. But it’s a much scarier society without the media.

We just lost our first star: Joe Diffie. If you weren’t a country fan in the 1990’s he is the dude who did John Deere Green.

Since Kentucky's first reported case of COVID-19, here's a comparison of how the Kentucky numbers compare to things nationally.

I like the way Tennessee handled it, and dislike the way Ohio and Kentucky are handling it.

 

Per capita, Tennessee has 2-1/2 times the number of cases that Kentucky does.

Hurts me as much as Kobe did...

I’ll ask again, what is the number, either of deaths or cases, that you think what has been done in OH and KY would be justified?

 

I have been pretty intrigued to see the answer to this question.

Have you or your neighbors been tested?

 

We don't have it.

He’s not going to answer because he doesn’t care about anyone other than himself. No number would be appropriate to him.

Rule 2 reads in part:

 

2. No disparaging, taunting, or boastful comments--especially between opponents trying to intimidate each other. This includes, name calling or personal attacks toward any member, username, team, or school. Additionally this includes a pattern of posts that inflames or incites other posters (i.e. trolling or gaslighting).

Why do people buy in on totally unsubstantiated speculation that the virus was here in November and ignore facts? I want some proof. Someone please give me proof the virus was here in November. Facebook posts are not proof.

 

As you read through the below, keep in mind that there were no social distancing restrictions in place anywhere in the US in November-February. The virus would have free reign in the populace to multiply.

 

If it was here in November or December, why didn't it spread? We all have been watching the rapid spread and the deaths that follow within a month or so. Do you think if even just 2 or 3 people died in a hospital that did not have the flu, had rapid onset of respiratory problems and had an unidentifiable pneumonia that did not respond to treatment that a Dr. or nurse would not notice? Do they just watch people die and not question why or wonder if there is something else they could have done?

 

The CDC notified the medical community to be aware and on the lookout for CV19 in early January. Yet no case was confirmed in the US until late January.

 

If corona was here in the US on December 1 there is no way it would still be undetected on Feb. 1 as the heightened awareness was ramping up.

I'm not choosing one side over another...but wasn't the first test that the CDC sent out faulty? Add that to the fact that many of the results were taking such a long time to come back, I could see where you could move the potential timeline of arrival back a little bit. As to the deaths, I'm assuming that there's somewhat of a "delay" between when you first catch it, and when you may succumb to it (depending on your initial health status).

I saw a couple of things today that indicate there are as many as 21 million cell phone customers in China that are no longer on the grid. There when this all started and poof, gone on the other side. That’s terrifying.

 

Two months ago, I was working with a doctor who had a friend (also an MD) working in China. He said that his friend told him that the CV situation was way worse than China was reporting. We will never know, but I am a believer that many many more died than reported.

 

Makes me angry because had they been open with communication, other countries would have been better prepared much earlier.

And this is why you should never, for any reason, trust China.

 

Ever...

 

Don’t do it, honestly, just assume that China is lying...every time and about everything...
