Dont be cheeky.

You can tell when someone talks sense because Tecumseh's Boner starts abusing them.

I take it he hasn't started abusing you yet!

CNN Obsesses Over Few Masks, No Distancing at Barrett Announcement

Everyone, clutch yer pearls. Where's my fainting couch.

 

[petros]

COVID is up to 30 times more deadly than the common flu.

What about uncommon flu?

 

[Walter]

thnaaa

Prog shit.

 

[petros]

Dont qoute him.

 

[petros]

Yay! Even if CDC says only 6% are directly from COVID19?

 

[Hoid]

1,200 new cases in Ontario/Quebec worst number since May.

The second wave is going to be worse than the first because the deplorables

 

[petros]

You version of non-threatening pre-existing conditions is pretty loose.

Fact remains, only 6% have died directly from COVID19.

 

[taxslave]

You must mean pre-existing conditions, which include asthma, obesity, diabetes, or other non-life threatening illnesses. I read that 60% of Canadians have a pre-existing condition, so it should not be a shock that the vast majority of people who die from COVID have a pre-existing condition. It's not like perfectly healthy 21 year olds with no health problems are dying in droves.

ALso lots of life threatening conditions that have compromised the immune system like failed liver or cancer. Even not necessarily the disease/condition itself but the treatment involved often destroys the immune system. So yes these people will likely die from Covid, but is it really covid19 that killed them?
As an example of sorts, my last uncle died in a nursing home from pneumonia. He was 93. So was it the pneumonia that killed him or was it just the last nail in the coffin?

So we should just ignore health officials, and pretend that nothing is wrong.

No, but we should take what they say with a grain of salt. Remember most of these people are germophobes.
Maybe the single best thing to come out of this is people are paying more attention to cleanlyness.

Quite agree I've never seen transit vehicles so shiny clean on the inside-at least they were when this first started.

Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do drugs? Overweight?

You've been pretending for decades.

 

[petros]

Then dont visit.

I'm not going to visit him.

Does he let strangers wander through his kitchen?

Is he diminished in mental capacity?

There are too many whiners in this world.

 

[JLM]

With drinking, drugs, and being overweight, we are just hurting ourselves.

If I have a drink in front of my 79 year old Uncle with heart disease, it will not affect him. If I have have COVID, and hang out with him for an hour, and he catches it, there is a good chance he could die from it.

There are far too many selfish people in the World.

And/or thoughtless!

 

[petros]

I wait 2-3 days to get my and his test results back.

 

[petros]

D3 specifically. It's an anticoagulant.

I've mentioned anticoagulants quite often in this thread.
