Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

Um, ok.



In the beginning I thought it was a bit of a tempest in a teapot. “Shelter-in-place”? Are you serious?? I mean, come on. It’s going to be like the flu for the vast majority of people so why the panic? Why completely destroy our economy? That‘s how I felt until the virus hit several people in my close knit circle. These were all people in the supposed “low risk” group. Under 40, healthy (one a marathon runner), no pre-existing conditions. 2 had to go to the ER, one went into ICU. All survived but said they had never been so sick in their lives. Nothing like the flu...far far worse.

So I came full circle in a very short amount of time. If the simple act of wearing a mask can help slow this spread, it’s truly a no brainer.

In the beginning I didn't think it was a bit of a tempest in a teapot. I had no data to support that thought. That‘s how I felt until the virus hit absolutely no one in my close knit galaxy. And most Hawaiians that I know are in the high risk group. Not only did they survive, they continue to thrive. Just like the flu. Not nearly as deadly as we've been told.

Do you understand what the word “subsequently“ means? Just curious.

Yes I do know what it means. That's why while you thought COVID was a bit of a tempest in a teapot, I did not feel the same way. I subsequently was able to experience the exact opposite outcomes with the subsequent CDC data to support...

The poor stupid Trumpie without the mask. What is with those idiots? What happened to America?
Thank God the country is sick of that nutbag President. I see he and Barr are already setting up his loss as “rigged,” like he did last time.

I wouldn't worry about it. You guys will probably get it right this time.

Ah, I see. So you do know what the word means but chose to apply it selectively (when it suits you). Got it.

Well, all I can say is that my own personal experience with COVID-19 has completely changed the way I view this virus.

In the beginning I thought it was a bit of a tempest in a teapot. “Shelter-in-place”? Are you serious?? I mean, come on. It’s going to be like the flu for the vast majority of people so why the panic? Why completely destroy our economy? That‘s how I felt until the virus hit several people in my close knit circle.

But the simple act of wearing a mask does not slow the virus...

You've been lied to and you want more....
 
What happened to Peter Navarro? I used to think he was such a smart guy. I would have been pleased if he had won his attempt at SD Mayor.
