I guess everyone here realized COVID is real

9 of the 10 countries with the highest number of covid deaths per 1M people have nationalized healthcare.

Nationalized healthcare is the best because everyone has access to really shitty healthcare.

Nationalized healthcare is a terrible idea. Why? Because we can't trust government officials to keep citizens at the forefront of their decision making. As I stated in another thread, we are way down the hierarchy after their donors lobbyists, themselves, each other...

However, if the government would give significant grants to businesses that offer incredible health insurance to their employees, I would be down for that! Reward the businesses that do this.

Of course, this wouldn't be perfect either as politicians would figure out a way to fill their accounts anyway.

I totally agree,...

but I bet SJWs would be quick to call that racist.

I dont believe any numbers that are put out there on either the cases or the deaths. The only thing I look at is the hospitalizations. That number has risen , no doubt.

I have seen these clinics where folks are lined up out side to be tested....honest to God, some of the Technicians have handed out the swabs and let the folks swab themselves.....what in hell good is that?....except $200.00 a pop from the govt. This is gonna make Medicare fraud look like a nursery rhyme.

Well that and eventually all medical care decision are made by unionized government employees.

You know, the ones that get paid based on a scale without bonuses and no incentive to work overtime or try. The decide how much money doctors and hospitals should recieve for different procedures. Therefore doctors will not be nearly as well compensated for the 12-16 years of grind they have to go though to actually start seeing the fruit of their labor. Once that gets rolling, the best and brightest will figure out that the cost outweighs the benefits and you will see the quality of medical care deteriorate.

California needs their own CSPAN. I would love to watch the meeting where they debated what should be on that list.


California Subcommittee on What is a Meal Chair:
"The representative from Los Angeles moves to add soup to the list of items not considered a meal"

Rep1:
"Does that mean salads are also not considered a meal?"

Rep2:
"It depends. Does the salad have some sort of protein?"

Chair:
"Some soups have protein."

Rep 2:
"By God, you're right?"

Rep 3:
"Should the quantity of soup be considered?"

Rep 1:
"I believe so. A bowl of soup is a substantial amount of soup."

Rep:3
"What about a cup of soup? That surely can't be a meal."

Chair:
"By show of hands, does everyone agree with the addition of cup of soup to the Not a Meal list?"
"For the record, cup of soup has been added to the Not a Meal list"

Narrator:
"Please tune in next week for the debate on Solutions to Rolling Brownouts that will not Impact the Natural Habitat of the Orange Spotted Double Breasted Warbler"
 
In Austin and San Antonio, the last 6 days have seen a drop in new cases and in deaths. Also, as of this year, our Country is now below the average deaths per month in a normal year. The CDC should have taken off the Pandemic listing for the virus already according to their Stats but they still have not done so. On Nov 5th, they will remove the Pandemic listing.
 
So I have a poker group that hasn’t played since pandemic started. Someone has offered to host a game tonight. 8 ppl.

What say ye? Yea or nea to attend?
Just make sure to sanitize the chips and cards after each play.

YES, I am no doctor, but I would guess all the alcohol consumed would mitigate any risk of transmission.

In case anyone was curious--- Google how many people under the age of 20 that have died in Travis County due to Covid.

seriously....I wouldnt do it as all of em are likely old farts. If everyone wore a mask then , sure, go ahead....but the odds of that happening are about the same as me getting a date with Taylor Swift in the next 30 min.
 
There you are! Scared ya caught the Corno...
Not at all. In point of fact, I've had two blood tests thus far and both have come back as "inconclusive anomalies" insofar as the virus doesn't appear to have taken hold in my body because there are such small amounts of anti-virus present. My third blood draws were sent to Boston Heart and the CDC for further evaluation.
I've had zero symptoms this entire time and aside from a case of the runs that I'm sure o got from eating spice Thai food one night, I have had zero problems. Two separate doctors offices (one in SA and the other in Austin) have done my blood draws and evals at separate testing labs. Both came back with the same results-- they don't know what to make of it nor have they seen results like it yet.

Sooo--- on Thursday I did another blood draw of six vials. Three are being sent to some specialists in Boston and three to Atlanta to the CDC. When I get my results back I will post them here.
 
And by the way--- just so everyone knows--- there have been ZERO deaths of anyone 20 and under in Travis County due to Covid.

Zip
Zero
Nein

But some slap nut doctor hired by the district predicted that if kids went back to school there would be "between 40 and 1700" deaths. Where did he get those numbers from?

Oh I know---- fvcktardsville.

How's your girlfriend?
 
I'm going to a wedding in South Texas in a few weeks. Yeah, I'm concerned about the corona, but more concerned about driving from the Dallas area down I35.
You ought to be concerned about both.

Wear a mask when in public, people. Better yet, wear two. At work (print shop), 3 people have caught it. About 45YO, 55, 60.

When a new sickness comes, I don't do statistics and say how unlikely it is (so far). I don't pretend it's a political issue (it shouldn't be). I protect my family and try to help my community.
