It must have been some of those vaccinated sophisticated folks that were at Barry’s super spreader party that are now contracting the Covid hoax again. What a shit show this all is. They keep stepping on their toes because they can’t remember where one lie ends and the other beginsWhat say you @outhereincali?

Yet the common flu was 5% of normal rates last year due to masks and social distancing.I don’t believe that masks are nearly as effective. Just my opinion.
Dan--
I discussed all of this with my doctor and he thinks this is BS. The reason for the miniscule flu numbers last year is due to inaccurate coding by medical providers. There are higher insurance reimbursement rates from insurance companies with a Covid diagnosis. So anything that closely resembles Covid will be coded as Covid even with a negative test. The doc makes the final call since Covid tests are not 100% reliable. Did you know that the common cold is a form of the coronavirus?Yet the common flu was 5% of normal rates last year due to masks and social distancing.
The original guidance was under the belief that transmission was via contact and fomites. The cruise ship with passengers stuck on it in Japan showed transmission had to be aerosol as there was no way contact and fomite transmission could have happened under the protocols used.
It took months, and a number of mass gathering outbreaks, to convince the medical community of this as everyone was trained from a study that was conducted around 80 years ago that viruses of the size of COVID could not be aerosol transmitted. It was wrong.
So, when the the medical community down played the efficacy of masks at the beginning(they didn’t believe COVID could be aerosol due to virus size) they were working off bad accepted facts that are now known to be false. In other words Bell isn’t wrong that Fauci originally downplayed masks but people are still clinging to that now that it has been proven false.
Once again I urge everyone to discuss these matters , and any other medical issue, with their doctor and not key board warriors with a political agenda.
Flu was 5% of normal worldwide which eliminates US insurance pay models being a factor. Plus a positive COVID test is required by most insurance to code for COVID.I discussed all of this with my doctor and he thinks this is BS.

My medical providers tell me straight up that over 50% of Covid cases last year was the motherfvcking flu, not Covid. In terms of deaths, it is not unusual for there to be hundreds of thousands of deaths from the flu each year. Last years Covid death numbers were very similar to some very bad flu seasons like the one we experienced in 2018.
Both the flu and Covid are highly contagious and result in similar symptoms. The difference is that Covid was manufactured and the flu was not. Either way, we do what we always have done to protect ourselves. Stay clean and don't be around people if you're not feeling well. Masks do nothing to stop the spread of this virus. The droplets are so small it would be like putting up a chain link fence to keep mosquitoes away.
understood..... hard to have true dialogue when you're the minority and a lot (not all) responses end in name calling and outrage just because you have a different opinion than the majority in this thread..... and like we've said, nothing I say will change your outlook on the subject.Dan--
With all due respect old timer, (and I say old timer out of respect) if you're going to continue slumming it down here with us non-9.95ers-- you've got to engage my man.
Posting boobs is cool and all, but changing the world involves dialog.
This is 100% wrong. Go tell this to your doctor and he’ll laugh out loud.Flu was 5% of normal worldwide which eliminates US insurance pay models being a factor. Plus a positive COVID test is required by most insurance to code for COVID.
The flu virus is smaller than the COVID virus
You know where we didn’t see COVID spread? In schools, because of mask wearing. Bars on the other hand were hot spots from no masks.
I believe this is a good thing danhorn. Now you are aware of how most conservatives have felt for at least the last decade. The treatment they’ve received by leftist mass media…the inability to have a discussion on the facts without being labeled racists, bigots, Bible bangers, etc.understood..... hard to have true dialogue when you're the minority and a lot (not all) responses end in name calling and outrage just because you have a different opinion than the majority in this thread..... and like we've said, nothing I say will change your outlook on the subject.
I see this from time to time on tMB. It is usually from those that are not currently aligned with who is in power now. Supposedly the left said something similar during Trump’s presidency. I’ve visited several Presidential Libraries and opposition is nothing new. We are a big country and not homogenous. But, we’ve always been big and never been homogenous. Besides anxiety, the good always outweighs the bad.RoseBowlChamps said:
If you study the history of the US prior to the Civil War, and compare it to today, there are many similarities. The level of acrimony today between the Right and the Left is very similar to the time just before the Civil War. This country is just as divided as it was in 1860. i do not think there is enough common ground for this country to survive.

Respectfully Dan, the sentence I highlighted is false. Attempting to leave in a peaceful manner is just that--- peace-- the most mature thing out there is conflict avoidance. Let us go, quietly, peacefully, with no blood shed.from an Abe Lincoln thread on the Inside Scoop forum..... @longhornfaithful

However, this is the first time with the internet. So those that have always yelled can now yell louder. And now people are profiting over division, which makes it more than philosophical differences in search of the best management in any situation.
The confederacy has been vilified for dissolving the union. The same states are fermenting discord again. The question will be what the response is to any that try to make a peaceful argument for succession because there is no reason for the federal government to allow anyone to go peacefully on a whim. The best argument against suicide I’ve seen is it’s a permanent solution to a temporary set of problems. Any attempt to leave is immaturity and counter to everything that has been done in the great experiment to date. I sincerely hope those that are on the fringe never do more than influence the middle
First off, I’m not a doctor. The DR in my handle is meant to reflect something else. As for steps to prevent the spread of Covid, the most effective in my opinion are maintaining personal hygiene and social distancing. Staying home if you don’t feel well also works. Same basic steps we’ve all taken for as long as we’ve all lived. I don’t believe that masks are nearly as effective. Just my opinion.
That sounds reasonable and respectful towards others unlike some others on this channel who are in denial and/or threaten to host super spreader events.
You mean like Obama did for his birthday?

Best wishes Robo. Hope it all works out ok.I know everyone goes back and forth with this mask thing. But let me tell you my story of how I got this covid thing. My wife works in the ER and around covid all the time and for over a year she has not got it. She also works at a school and around kids and has not once got covid either even when they had shut down schools. We have traveled to Georgia, Florida, Bama, Mississippi, Odessa, TX, San Antonio, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Louisiana and even out of the country to Mexico and Jamaica. And not once have we got covid in any of these places. I was getting a haircut at my cousins barber shop on a Saturday and she had told me her little one was sick at home. My cousin definitely thought it was just something else and ignored it and said let it run its course. So she cleans up my beard so no I can't wear a mask for that part and that day she was not wearing one either. She texts me on Monday morning saying she tested positive. Tuesday I start to feel ill and the rest is history. That is all that it took for me to get covid and to pass it to my pregnant wife that is high risk at the moment. If anything happens or worsens for her we have to rush her to the hospital and baby would have to come out early and hope that I don't have to choose who's life to save. Another horrible thing is I wouldn't be able to go in with her and they would kick me out and she would have to be in there alone.
Don’t forget Lollapalooza in Chicago attended by Lori Lightfoot and 385,000 people over 4 days. No masks.You mean like Obama did for his birthday?
Did you really ask that to this group? 😂Can you believe this idiot?

Psaki claims no Americans 'stranded' in Afghanistan in heated exchange
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was visibly annoyed during the press briefing Monday when she was asked whether President Biden was aware most of the criticism against the Afghanistan withdrawal was about Americans being “stranded” in Kabul.www.foxnews.com
Yeah, good point.Did you really ask that to this group? 😂
They are fvcking up.Did you really ask that to this group? 😂

Just messin my man!Yeah, good point.
I know, just beatin that dead horse (sleepy, kamala, fauci, psaki and sullivan). They just keep on with their drivel. On and on and on we go with this bunch and their excuses and blame on the other party. Another note on this withdrawal, who agreed with the taliban on a withdrawal date? Who negotiates with them in the first place on anything? All we're getting from sleepy is choreographed press conferences from him and his crew. Sleepy and his incompetent sidekicks are the absolute embarrassment this nation has ever experienced imo on par with hillary's role in the egyptian embassy fiasco. This shit is gonna get worse real fast.Just messin my man!
Just about everything that has come out of Biden, Harris (when she’s not hiding) Psaki, Pelosi mouths as of late hasnt been anything less than a lie or spin from the truth. Left, Right, and Independent alike with common sense knows this is the case. I sincerely doubt any red blooded American wants their country groveling and begging china, russia, and now the Tallywhackers for anything. As previously mentioned by another poster here, we vote for programs and policies. I guess this is our new policy. Simply indefensible.
There are few red blooded Americans left. The Dems that voted for Biden still have faith in him. Even then, I doubt they’d mind if we were remade in China’s image. We’re close but the left would welcome it. After all, “it’s for our own good.”Just messin my man!
