Exactly! Some people just keep wanting to move the goalposts back.

If they don’t charge those officers, that city is going to burn IMO.

Based on some of his mentor’s quotes on a radio station out of Memphis, probably a good thing we “missed” on Williams...

The chrome and black was last year. I think they’re only doing the chrome and blue this year. I love the blue , but the chrome is slick too!

Crittenden has updated theirs.

Has Gronk said he’ll come out of retirement? Or is this just his rights in case he does want to?

I think 5-10% of those infected needing medical care is realistic. And while it may bog down medical staff, it may be the most realistic path while we wait on a vaccine.

That’s doesn’t mean that 25-50% require hospitalization or medical treatment though. IMO a large part of the influx in people flooding Dr’s offices is in part attributed to the media freaking people out and people automatically assuming the worst and they’re going to die, when in fact 90% or more of them will be fine with rest and lots of fluids and OTC stuff to treat the symptoms.

The current mortality rate is anything but accurate. Current estimates at this time are that anywhere from 50-75% who “get it” show no symptoms and do not even know they have it. Then factor in the higher death rate areas stretching the definition of Covid related deaths, which basically means you’re just guessing like the rest of us. So what is your suggestion to fix it? Maintain this current approach till a vaccine is possibly developed? There’s ZERO chance the current approach makes it anywhere close to a year.

What do you think everyone should do? Stay in place till there’s a vaccine? The flu vaccine has clearly shown that you can still get it the flu, even after getting it. The country’s economy will not survive with this particular shut down approach. And there’s more to the economy than just the US debt. There are a lot of retired or near retirement people that are losing so much money in their retirement funds.

But is it not those people’s individual choice to go out in public?

You’re selective listening/reading then. I didn’t say it was “over” then. I said the big phrase was to flatten the curve, once that started happening, the angle has switched to shelter in place, wait for a vaccine, etc. I have read on this site folks saying they’ll still not go back to normal lives until there is a vaccine. Listening to sports radio and they’ve quoted news outlet polls about a very high amount of people saying they’ll not attend any sporting event, concert, etc until there’s a vaccine. Pay attention, there are people advocating keeping these guidelines in place until there is a vaccine.

It’s interesting the strategy was “flatten the curve”, until the curve was flattening, now it’s shelter in place till we have a vaccine. I don’t have that option and I wouldn’t take that route if I did. Can’t live in fear over a virus that’s not killing 99.9% of the population. If it wasn’t corona trying to kill us, it’d be something else. For the immune compromised, shelter in place, I get it. But at this point no one is visiting those folks anyways so why if you’re healthy, use that as your reason for wanting stay locked in your house for a year, when you’re not seeing them regardless.

Simply put, they were not testing for it. I do not believe for a split second that the first positive test, was the first case in KY. It’s just the first documented case.

I’m not saying it was rampant, but I’m saying I think it’s been here and they’re are experts out there who think so as well and that China didn’t disclose what they knew when they knew it.

Once again, you’re just assuming they would’ve thought it was something unique. That’s just not likely if they did not know this illness was here. People are sick and die on vents everyday. Most of your deaths are elderly and elderly having the flu and dying is not rare. Also, as I stated before, people were testing negative but still being diagnosed with the flu, myself included. The quote from the Dr. To me was, “you tested negative for the flu, but the test is only 50% accurate but you’re showing all symptoms and signs of the flu.”

There’s no way to know what the numbers were because they were calling it all the flu. The number who are requiring vents isn’t a high number, and the ones who were could’ve been presumed to have pneumonia or the flu. We didn’t know it existed in the US then, much less western Kentucky. To put it bluntly, you have no idea what treatment people were receiving here. There were A LOT of people assumed to have the flu down here but were testing negative. I know this for a fact. Western Kentucky doesn’t have the dense population that Wuhan has. Simply putting it, people are spread out due to the rural nature of West KY.

In Kentucky, specifically, I’d say since December IMO. Which would explain our lower numbers on this end of the state. We had so many people in December/January with the flu, that were testing negative, that schools were closing. I have very little doubt this didn’t run through my house 2 weeks before it became big news. I spent 2 hours with a coworker the first day my symptoms were present (before they made a big deal about it in the US), and Less than 2 weeks later, his mother was hospitalized with it. It could all be coincidental but, my symptoms lined up with the rona and I tested negative for the flu.

The economy would not survive or bounce back at 18 months.

Just a matter of time before people start snapping. Domestics, suicides, homicides, depression. Can’t keep people confined forever before something gives... and it’ll be the police having to clean the mess up.

My silver lab Annie.

That’s because they aren’t testing everyone or anywhere close to it. I know of several who have been in contact with someone who’s tested positive, are showing symptoms and have been told to assume they have it and self quarantine for 2 weeks which do not get counted towards the number of cases numbers. And I’m certain this is the common practice at this time, which is what makes me question how serious this is at times.

Hagans is better than several we’ve had leave before they were ready, I guess.

Anyone else find themselves bouncing back and forth from “this isn’t as bad as it’s being made out to be because they are cherry picking the ones they test”, to “we’re all going to die!”?

Well it seems they’re only testing the worst of the worst, so it stands to reason that it only makes sense that the death rate high compared to those tested.
