LD0506 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I see more people wearing masks in public everyday. I've decided to lean into this Halloween-all-year trend and am probably going to go with plague doctor bird mask myself... 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Rubio conveniently leaves out that man who's ass he continues to kiss is the one pushing bull**** about this situation. They are fully indoctrinated. They will be on their death beds, that the president has made, explaining how its not the presidents fault. The man didnt even get a good price for his dignity Edited March 10, 2020 by StillUnknown 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Video footage of Italy right now is scary. Its completely quiet and empty outside. Looks like one of those post apocalyptic movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say brains but then that would leave out Trump supporters. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually hope mask wearing during cold and flu season becomes a thing, because folks are nasty and inconsiderate out here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Does "pretending to cough violently on Metro" carry the same penalties as yelling fire in a crowded theater? Asking for a friend who would like some additional space. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 There is a cost to ignorance. We should be more worried than other developed nations because we have a chunk of population that takes pride in being dumb and the average American in general has an awful diet and is not physically healthy. This is one of those situations where we are well suited from the standpoint that we have a lot of smart, unselfish and well trained people in this country working in the healthcare provider sector. But they will be dealing with a population that has spent the past 50 years admiring unhealthy habits as virtuous and absorbing a load of nonsense propaganda that has left them ill equipped to be socially responsible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfrankie Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So there's no cure for covid-19, but how are the symptoms treated? I assume you are not simply told to go home, quarantine, and take Tylenol cold & flu tablets with mucinex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 A friend of mine asked what I thought was a good question, "Are the mortality rates linked to percentage of the population that smokes, either currently or for a long time in the past?" Given the known risk factors, it seems a plausible explanation for why some countries have higher mortality rates. I would think smoking would cause one's lungs to be at risk for further respiratory problems, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDaddyShoo Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Potential case in the SEC offices on Cap Hill. They're requiring staff to work from home while they do a 'thorough cleaning.'

I highly doubt the justic department is getting involved with virus prevention posters. It was absolutely true: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article241046076.html Trump administration orders immigration courts to remove coronavirus posters– then takes it back By Monique O. Madan, Miami Herald March 10, 2020 06:00 AM Immigration court staff nationwide were ordered by the Trump administration to take down all coronavirus posters from courtrooms and waiting areas. The Executive Office for Immigration Review, which falls under the Department of Justice, told all judges and staff members in an email Monday that all coronavirus posters, which explain in English and Spanish how to prevent catching and spreading the virus, had to be removed immediately. “This is just a reminder that immigration judges do not have the authority to post, or ask you to post, signage for their individual courtrooms or the waiting areas,” wrote Christopher A. Santoro, the country’s acting chief immigration judge in a mass email to immigration court administrators nationwide. “Per our leadership, the CDC flyer is not authorized for posting in the immigration courts. If you see one (attached), please remove it. Thank you.” However on Tuesday morning— just four hours after the Miami Herald published this story—a Department of Justice spokesman contacted the Herald to say that the “the signs shouldn’t have been removed. It’s now being rectified.” Officials declined to discuss why the email was sent in the first place, and who told the chief immigration judge to issue the directive. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article241046076.html Edited March 10, 2020 by Dan T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been inferred from studies in China where males are impacted more, though females do have slightly better immune systems than men. I'm sure work exposure to chemicals is probably higher in men there as well......accumulative damage over the years increases the odds of severe symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
