killerbee99 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Also, I find it funny again that now it's a east coast, west coast issue and the rest of the country needs to move on..... Same parallels with the opiod crises.. When it was hitting the urban areas, that's was their problem and they needed to be more responsible.. As soon as it hits the Midwest,.. Oh no it's the opiod crisis, we need to invest billions of dollars in tackling this situation bcos its finally hitting Joe schmoe in bum**** Nebraska.... When this virus hits the Midwest hard it isn't going to be pretty. Edited March 26, 2020 by killerbee99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrFan Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Confined ... to work: in a Tunisian factory, 150 people, mostly workers, have locked themselves up with enough to live in near self-sufficiency, in order to continue to make masks and protections for caregivers fighting against the new coronavirus Edited March 26, 2020 by FrFan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I knew I was right about those masks. People were running around trying to say they didnt work. Fauci told Steph Curry they were 50% effective. Now, he made up that number as a very rough estimate, but he didnt say they were useless. Call me crazy, but 50% seems worthwhile to me. The issue was the hoarding and the priority of who needed them, not that they were a waste of time, which is what you heard when this first started and folks were buying them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) This is stupid and dangerous. There's no way to know right now, and places that look safe could be a lot worse in a week or two. Edited March 26, 2020 by visionary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit-driven over-prescribing was the foundation for the opioid crisis. And profit-driven under-preparation is the foundation for the COVID crisis.

Problem is people aren't differentiating between normal scrub masks versus industrial N95 masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there lots of cases, but the vast majority weren't hooked on pain killers before trying heroin. It was just something their friends said "try this, youll like it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heroin epidemic is shock and awe with the media...a white girl straight a student dies ...that's a story. This coronavirus **** is simply where it is. Its going to pass through new York and cali they will get back to normal.....then Midwest will blow up and they will go on lockdown, till they get back to normal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up through my teens and early 20s with everyone doing it. I don't feel sorry for them. Its a choice Edited March 26, 2020 by Gibbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
