The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
daz28 replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I haven't reported anyone, and I probably won't unless it's people being really dumb. As for the test, I meant nationwide. On my hockey forum a lot of people with symptoms didn't get a test. I have no idea locally how many tests we have, but that's good news if we do have enough. The bad news is that some areas will not have enough, while others have too many. I have heard Texas has way more tests than they need. This is also a problem: https://www.texastribune.org/2020/04/10/laredo-texas-coronavirus-tests-did-not-work/ -

I don't think temp testing is a good measure, but it is another tool. The more tools the better. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

I'm just trying to protect myself, my friends and family and fellow humans. One of the biggest mistakes made was saying the quarantine was to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed. I can't imagine what would have happened without the quarantine, or how much worse the toll would have been. I don't consider reporting someone who's being reckless as "turning on them". If I reported the Gestapo rounding up Jews, and it stopped it, I'd consider myself a hero, not a snitch. As for DeBlasio and the Democrat's socialist conspiracy, well I don't care about any of that nonsense. There is criterion as to whom gets tested. There currently isn't enough testing to test all with symptoms, but to return to normal we will need to have an abundance of testing. -
Actually, I'd like YOU to provide ME with some data that would make me want to believe you over a panel of NIH infectious disease experts who have advised against using the cocktail. I'm not saying you are wrong, but I'm saying you're pulling your ideas out of your ass pretty much like Trump did, while the experts say different. Stop watching Hannity.

No, it's about you defending his irresponsible remarks after the evidence to the contrary has been supplied to you. He's not a doctor, and he's not real smart, but you ARE a doctor. You should be smarter, and you should have known better.

Reporting someone stealing a car: ok Reporting someone selling heroin: ok Reporting someone playing loud music at midnight: ok Reporting someone fudging their taxes: ok Reporting someone driving drunk who hit a child: ok Reporting someone spreading a deadly virus: SNITCH! -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Pneumonia is hard to treat, and with rona it can go from bad to worse real fast. I'm hoping for testing that will at least take those infected out of the equation as much and as fast as possible. No one knows much right now, so we can only hope to mitigate it as much as possible. Like shoshin said, cold weather could elevate this to another level, so all possible measures had better be in place by then. -
I'm positive he said it couldn't hurt you. Now some people are smart enough to listen to their doctor, but the Trump counter-culture believes him above all others, even when it contradicts fact.

I wouldn't be the first patient you harmed.

Who needs charts when you have Trump: It peaked around Easter : https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-coronavirus-to-peak-around-easter-slams-pelosi-criticism-in-fox-friends-interview We passed the peak on April 15th: https://video.foxnews.com/v/6149725289001#sp=show-clips -
I'm glad you're not my doctor. It is estimated that only 12% of Americans are zinc deficient. There's also stuff like this, but keep grasping at straws: Large doses of zinc prevent your digestive tract from absorbing copper from your diet, so regularly taking too much zinc depletes your body's copper levels. Copper deficiency can lower your white blood cell count, putting you at increased risk of an infection, since white blood cells make up a part of your immune system. Low copper levels also negatively affect your red blood cells, preventing proper oxygen transport and causing anemia. Zinc has been shown to interact with various prescription medicines. For example, take it with tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro and generic) and you’ll reduce the amount of both the zinc and the antibiotic that your body absorbs. It can also interfere with the absorption of penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen), a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Wilson’s disease (a rare genetic disorder).

Fox's new shtick is find one person to interview who agrees with their ridiculous narrative. -

People are killing themselves, because they're laid off, or people are not returning to work, because they make more on unemployment. Peddle whichever narrative fits your unfounded arguments. Classic have it both ways tactic. -

You call me a dumbass, because you think that illegal immigration, the wall, and overstaying a visa are as connected as potholes and hot fudge sundaes?? You might want to look up the definition of dumbass again, and how it may relate to yourself. To quote the great Ed Bassmasters, "would ya just look at that": NIH recommends against combining hydroxychloroquine with Z-Pak to treat COVID-19 https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/494012-nih-recommends-against-combining-hydroxychloroquine-with-z-pak-to-treat COVID-19 treatment hydroxychloroquine showed no benefit, more deaths in VA virus study https://www.foxnews.com/science/covid-19-hydroxychloroquine-showed-no-benefit-more-deaths-va-virus-study -
Owning a gun to protect your family is not irrational, BUT from a statistical standpoint one should fear diabetes, heart disease, etc FAR more. It would be far more rational to protect you and your family from those things, but I guess that proves people just aren't rational at all. To think people are loading up on guns, yet protesting social distancing is kinda proof of that dichotomy.

How does a wall address a visa overstay, and using a baited word like "free" is no way to begin any legitimate discussion. Just so you know I'm not "on the left" either. You'd do well to try to debate from neutral ground at the start. A really important question I'd like asked at the next press conference is, "who told you the 15 cases would got to 0". He's not out leader, he's our president, so he has a duty to answer these questions. You can hate the media, but surely everyone wants important questions answered. The government reports to us. We ARE the absolute authority. They report to us, especially during a pandemic. -
If they want to dump his salary for a 6th rounder that's great, and we should do it(or sign a veteran back). We need a #1b or #2 back. Singletary has 180 career touches. TJ Yeldon had 20 touches last year, and I would certainly not rely on him to be an effective runner, especially with an injury to Singletary. I like them drafting a rookie, but he's just that, a rookie. You don't go out and trade for a #1WR, and leave a huge question mark like that at RB.

You don't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed. HOW can a doctor give consent when there's no testing?? In this case 'consent' would be "have you ever played darts, well it's kind of like that". The doctor may as well be giving consent on Let's Make a Deal about why you should pick door number two by saying, "well most times I watch the show door number two has been pretty good". I think most people(including the president) who have no clue about medicine or how it works probably ought to just leave giving advice about this virus well alone. I'm sorry I left out the most important part. It's INFORMED consent. I took it as a given anyone discussing this would already know that.
