I see we have another mouth breathing duplicate account. 

Gary, Warren and Peaceout appreciate your perception in this matter. Next, one of those guys will be claiming DR is here under an alias.

Much ado is being made over President Trump wearing a mask while visiting wounded soldiers and veterans at Walter Reed hospital earlier today.

 

It seems a little silly to build a media narrative around taking precautions in the #1 place you would take prudent precautions, but whatever.

 

 

Meanwhile........................back at the thread.

 

 

 

A CORONAVIRUS CHART THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE.

 

“Does Axios consider the United States to have lost the war on H1N1? I’m asking for a friend.”

 

Read the whole thing.

FL 15,000 cases reported today. New record by a lot. Could easily be cracking 100K well before when Fauci predicted if TX and CA follow FL into numbers like that. I've got to think CA is destined to spike way higher since right now only SoCal is putting up big numbers.

I wonder how many of those screaming for those to wear masks had unprotected sex during the height of the AIDS epidemic.  ?

 

Why? The height of the AIDS epidemic was about 35 years ago and nothing like this.

WTF does when it happened have anything to do with it?  And nothing like this?  Maybe but tell that to the gay community.  I worked in restaurants in West Hollywood 35 years ago.   They were crossing friends off their address books every day.  It was a horrible way to go.  
 

Just pointing our the hypocrisy. 
 

And how many have died of AIDS in the US?

What they have in common: They are viruses that can kill someone. 

 

In 40 years, about 675K have died from AIDS. In 5 months, we're at 130K. 

 

Anyone can get Covid. People engaging in certain behaviors can get AIDS.

 

AIDS for a long time was 100% fatal. Covid is not even close to that. 

 

I don't know what population of non-condom folks in the  AIDS epidemic overlaps with mask-wearers. You can do a study I guess but I'm not sure what valuable point you think it would make. People having sex in 1981 are pretty old today.

Yeah, because treating the flu is just like treating covid in the hospital. 

 

Do people think before they write these stories? I guess the headline got its clickbait. 

 

 

I like most of your posts, but this was incredibly dismissive.

 

I worked with seniors the last 20 years of my career, and I can't tell you how many died of "the flu"

 

It still fills a hospital bed................takes nursing treatment.

 

The point of the article (beyond just reading the headline) is that hospitals CAN be strained by other things, and the "FLU" has certainly done that..........often.

And if we develop a vaccine for Covid the number of deaths here in the US may in fact pale in comparison to AIDS. I was just wondering aloud how many screaming for masks today couldn’t be bothered to put on a condom in the  80’s. 
 

I have no idea what you’re getting at with your last sentence other than you’re young.

...have NO interest in asking a smart azz question......what in your purview/assessment accounts for the Florida case explosion?......it can't be increased testing unless EVERY new positive immediately heads to ICU which is not realistic....sure Florida as well as other states have banned incoming travelers, immediately subjected to 14 day quarantine, but certainly many slip through.....is the Florida explosion because of the defiant, cooped up societal segment throwing "ALL caution to the wind"?.....what is your assessment?....

I have a friend who works in ER. She dreads every flu season. If we’re not required to wear masks and social distance ever flu season this whole COVID thing has been a media fueled kabuki dance.
