Tired of Covid crap

I’m about fed up with the news media over blowing this Covid stuff.
Today, it’s how bad the Iowa outbreak is. Run for the hills. The sky is falling.
The tested infection rate is 100 in 100,000. Not the death rate. Not even the hospital rate. Not even the “I’m home sick rate”.
They’re telling the truth, per say, there is a spike. But if you crunch the numbers it’s so small it’s time to crawl from under the bed get back to living. If there was one case last week and this week there are two, the media reports there are twice as many cases, 100% increase. While this is factual it’s still just 2.

How about we just get a grip, stop being a nation of whiners, and get back to living and working.

Just my opinion. Your mileage my vary. Just an “I’m fed up” rant.

The virus cops gotta do their thing to oppress "free" citizens.

And do they really think they are accomplishing something useful? If anyone was sick at the party with a contagion, by the time they got there it was already spread.

For crying outloud, just let people and their immune systems function the way they are supposed to. Is this police state tactic going to become the norm for every flu season?

Gov. Newsome needs to get recalled, before or after the tar and feathering.

So what do y'all think about corona being already planted in the masks? If this truly was an attempted bioweapon, it means nothing without a delivery system. Sure, the classic delivery system is a device, or gas bottle, or artillery shell. But when you have an illegal group like the communists whose primary MO is to operate through clandestine and subversive means, them trying to perfect such a delivery system is quite reasonable to expect. There was an episode of CSI a long time back that did something with that MO. I don't remember much of the episode, but I remember that at a funeral, this crazy bomber set off a smaller bomb to scare the crowd in one direction, where a bigger bomb was waiting. This is that scenario, the communists create a virus scare (fake or otherwise) that causes people to scarf up masks, then they contaminate the masks to spread it even more. The real question, and scary thing, is what happens when the next virus isn't a cold? What if they have the capability to do this with ebola? What if this really was just a test of the delivery system?

I am a DoD civil service employee and they sent us an email yesterday asking who would want to volunteer for receiving the vaccine. they are prioritizing by job criticality and health risk conditions.

I put my name in the bucket. don't know if I will be selected though.
Got a call yesterday from the medical group. Asked if i still wanted to get the vaccine. I got it this morning. Everything went fine. I was actually surprised they called.

Virus viability drops significantly with time, heat, and dehydration. Maybe don't put on a damp mask you bought out of a freezer on the back of some guy's pickup truck.

If they're reusable fabric masks, wash first. If they're disposable only get them if they're in a sealed pack and hit them with UV if paranoid?

I'm talking more about the boxed "surgical" masks that a lot of people still use, and stores and governments hand out. Yes, virus viability drops when just put on a surface, but can they be protected? Surrounded by a water soluble material of some kind? The NCIS tv show showed something like this early on. While I think the evil lady would have needed more than a moisture strip and lead-based ink to get the bacteria through the postal system, if a bunch of silly tv writers can dream it up, so can a well-funded communist terrorist organization, but they could actually make a delivery system work. That's been one of the problems with bio weapons, delivery systems [till now?] have never been very viable. They're either too risky to the deliverer, or too easily detected. If the communist thugs have truly surmounted those issues, then we're screwed. We could have solved this in 1949, but Harry Truman's spine was about as rigid as Kemp's is.

I don't know if I could find it again, but basically he said that those really at risk (comorbidity, age) should get the Moderna vaccine due to its higher protection against serious disease and that his was more appropriate for those younger and at lesser risk.

So either he was admitting Moderna was better or he saw it as a marketing strategy to reach out to the "young and hip." :D

New Slogan! :
"Pfizer: It's what all the cool kids are getting."

If I were an evil Communist dictator who for some reason wanted to attack a nation whose bonds I was heavily invested in, and I wanted to use something as arcane as face masks as my delivery vehicle, I would use it as part of a two-step process.

I would treat the masks with human pathogenic fungi spores, like Coccidioides. It's pretty awesome: environmentally available, stable to variable humidity and temperature, effective at low inoculi, dispersible, etc. The wearer breathes the spores in, gets sick and - here's the best part - it impairs his immune system.

THEN I hit them with a respiratory virus simply introduced into the population with unwitting sleeper agents. They mask up, and - spores now deployed - it turbocharges the pandemic!

(I would also have a lair in an inert volcano and a tank full of pet sharks, but that's for another time.)

But a mask contaminated with a virus? Not effective. Not too many of God's creatures(-ish) are as delicate as a virus.

Just saw this today, Georgia setting another record...Kemp s/b proud.

States that have fallen behind
Among the nation's most populous states, Georgia, Virginia and California are the furthest behind in distributing the vaccine to residents. According to the most recent CDC data, Georgia has administered less than 20% of the vaccine doses delivered to the state - the lowest percentage of any state in America.

There were more than a few individuals involved in that with degrees of higher learning. A lawyer friend of mine from South Georgia was inside.
They may actually realize where this once great Nation is headed
