Glad I moved to Fort Bend county.

All of your "facts" are several months old and proven to be wrong.

Where are you getting a death rate of 2-5%?

Got that stupid text last night

That should be criminal

Sorry Ag Hunter 78 that you are getting ganged up on by some of these misfits but you make a really good point. Listen to what the professionals are telling you and don't put to much weight on what some guy on a hunting forum is telling you.



I think I’d listen to the one that is not a complete dumbazz, the first one. BTW, nice way of commenting with no bias…see how there was 'no' sarcasm there?



Another macho man!


Another macho man and a dumbazz.

How do the shutdown supporters get their groceries, mail, deliveries, power, gas, water, sewer, etc...? Oh, someone else puts themselves at risk for them. Thank you to the truck drivers, delivery, public works, LEOs, Firemen, grocery store workers and all for keeping things running.

It's simple, stay home if you are vulnerable or worried about it. Let the rest of us keep things going and do what we do.

I’ve up to I think 5 friends that have tested positive, 4 out of 5 are asymptotic, the other one said flu was worse. With that said all 5 are under 50 and exercise regularly with no underlying issues.

The virus should be a health wake up call. If you need a reason to loose weight and get in better health, no time better then now, the virus isn’t going away, and will continue to be harsh on ones that give it a fragile host

This for sure


If someone is so convinced that masks work, then wear one and quit worrying about whether or not others do

The false narratives around this Covid mess are just mind boggling

Welp...

I would bet your audio/visual, and your music, is much better than our church. Watching on line is nothing but frustration for me. I try to stay in the right spirit, but all I hear is the audio dropping out completely sometimes and, when it's not, the organist/pianist/"Music Director" BANGING and either dragging or rushing incredibly. For some reason it's not as bad in person, probably 'cause I can't rant and rave like I can at the TV.

'Hope things get back to normal very soon.

We pull it up on our Firestick, almost like being be there, but never in place of.

Texag93: I am getting the numbers from the CDC website, which is an agency of the current administration. https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases
Based on their current numbers, 124,325 deaths divided by 2,414,870 confirmed cases gives you about 5.14%. There’s no telling what the exact rate is, so I underestimated with 5% being the top end.

Tin Head: You state that “democratic mayors made it worse by putting the sick in retirement homes.” Seriously? From personal experience, it was the family that decided my grandfather, my father-in-law, and mom would be better off in a rest home because we could not provide the necessary health care 24/7. No mayor or other government official told us we had to do it. Where are you getting this idea?

Hancock: You are assuming I am a shutdown supporter?...huge assumption on your part. All I have said is that we should wear masks and follow medical experts’ advice. I get my own groceries, go to the post office, get lumber from Lowe's, etc. I have nothing delivered to the house except occasional stuff from Amazon, which I can't pick up myself. I pay attention to the science and use common sense. Masks (the good ones) work. It’s to protect others more than just yourself. Why do you think surgeons wear masks when they operate? If I was about to get some type of surgery and I see that none of the nurses or doctors are wearing masks, I think I’d find a different hospital!

I see this kind of like seat belts. It bugged me at first but after a while it just became a habit and no big deal. The science said it was for my own good. Several years ago I totaled my car and the seat belt saved my bacon. I don’t know why this has become a political issue instead of a public health one. I am using common sense and following the medical advice. Just because I wear one at the store, etc. doesn’t mean that I am being controlled by the government. I am following the advice and example of the medical experts, not the example of some yoyo that suggests I should inject myself with disinfectant or shove a light down my throat or up my butt.

Some of you act like wearing a mask is like dragging a 200-pound ball and chain around or that wearing a mask makes you a wimp or sissy. All I know is that when I get home after wearing a mask, I can still bang my wife as well as I could back before all this mess when the only people that wore masks were bank robbers.

Several have stated that they or some family member or friend had it and it was no worse than the flu. That’s great. Well, guess what? You are just confirming the statistics. Most will not be adversely affected. With the lack of testing and other factors, it’s tough to get exact figures like the hospitalization rate. I mentioned 15%, but that might be what it is for the older at-risk folks. Like several have reported, those infected recovered just fine. But don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security. There’s still so much we don’t know. There have been cases where people recovered, but are having issues with blood clots, lung scarring, kidney issues, etc. that could end up being long-term consequences.

I have seen the videos of nurses and doctors who are totally worn out and mentally fatigued from seeing people die from this virus. Wake up. Those videos are real, not staged fake news. I hope those videos don’t start being from Texas doctors and nurses, but at the rate we are going, they probably will be. So I wear a mask in consideration of them to not add to their workload. I am not telling you what to do, but like I said before, I pray that it doesn’t take a family member, relative, or friend ending up in the hospital or morgue for you to take this more seriously.

Next thing you know they will shut down the whore houses again.

I thought it was a place to buy cheap eggs.

Again? Where are the houses you speak of? Asking for a friend.

They made a Broadway play and a movie based on it. Look it up.

And

124,924 is 0.0395401869159% of 321,000,000 people in this country

All the more reason to Open It UP

So...your house?

Bexar county sent the same thing out last night.

The Dr is of the opinion that we will all get it eventually regardless of the precautions taken. The Dr refers to the R1 factor of the virus...or something like that (I'm not a Dr). In laymens terms, it is highly contagious, very much like the common cold. Also, the death rate is more like .02%. I don't feel like looking up the numbers...and besides, depends on who is reporting it, you will get a wide range of numbers. Now, the Dr is not saying don't take precautions. The Dr is suggesting people social distance, suggesting hand washing, hand sanitizer, sick people staying at home, etc. But also understands that forcing the economy to shut down will kill just as many people if not more. You have starvation, depression, suicide, domestic violence, etc. to deal with, and when people are out of work and down on their luck, all of those are exasperated. The Battalion chief firefighter/Paramedic, is following the guidelines set about but the City and state government, and in my opinion is getting thier opinons based on that, and not medical evidence.
