Quoted from PantherCityPins:To get a nasopharyngeal sample the swab has to to into the nose about 4 inches or so and reach the back of the throat. This is uncomfortable and I think a lot of people aren’t going to get a good sample and you will see false negatives.
Cripes, I gag and cringe just thinking about that, agree, most would be ineffective testing themselves.

Window Cleaners are an essential business. Gotta have that crystal clear view as the world burns.
Wow, funny what is "essential". I shared a link from a local news outfit here that listed what was essential, would have been MUCH shorter to list was is NOT essential!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:So how does this work exactly?

What kind of ramp up time is involved in this, I would imagine it is months at best?

Mind boggling to think of the lasting effects of this.
NOT a political post, and if covered earlier, my apologies.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/31/politics/trump-coronavirus/index.html
So now the President is being 'honest' by 'leveling' with America about the pending severity... questions:
1) why NOW?
2) this late in the game, might sound like the boy who cried wolf?
I mean I for one feel it is going to be bad so why was there such sugar coating?
Quoted from wrb1977:We are slowly being “heated” and brought up to the boiling point in a pot of water instead of just being thrown into a pot of boiling water...if that makes sense?
Yes, good point. I figured something like that, just have to wonder (hindsight) would we have taken things more seriously from that start and perhaps lessened the impact.
Nice little short read, if it wasn't posted yesterday. Numbers are for the UK but some interesting numbers:
Quoted from PantherCityPins:it doesn’t mean there is a 50% chance of rain in your area, it means they project 50% of the viewing area of their station will get some sort of rain that day.
I have actually heard one of our local guys use that exact terminology, sure helped not get sooo mad when my specific area did or did not get what was forecast. After all the Houston AREA is rather large!
Quoted from o-din:I'm thinking it's another great day not to go into work.
I think I've asked you this before, but did you even work when you went into work?
Quoted from KerryImming:That statement by Trump was SO disingenuous. You can't even hide under a rock these days without hearing about testing issues.
You have to get out your decoder ring to translate such exaggerations, clearly he meant in the past 5 minutes.
Quoted from phil-lee:A lot of "Empty Hospital" videos popping up, just wondered if anyone in these areas could explain or verify if they are real or bogus. The big Hospital in New York was featured by several people, they all looked like ghost towns.
Could be things similar to this one where the landlord says NO:
Just can't believe some people! Special seats in hell for some folks I hope.
Quoted from wrb1977:China won a long time ago...they just don’t want the trophy.
Right, if you think of it statistically speaking, with over a BILLION more in population, how could they NOT win?
Amazing the impact we have on our planet:

Thanks to the mods for keeping open a necessary topic!
Quoted from o-din:She is on a ventilator suffering multiple organ failure and the prognosis is not good. They are not expecting her to make it. The have her on dialysis as well hoping for the best.
Well shit, sorry to hear that o-din. Hope they can make her comfortable at least.
My 'OPINIONs' on China:
1) much higher population density that U.S.
2) larger population living in poverty (i.e. difficult to isolate)
3) media even more biased (being state run) that in the U.S.
I don't believe for one moment our numbers are higher than theirs. Like was said a moment ago, statistical improbability.
Quoted from Daditude:Anyone else's car getting 3 weeks to the gallon right now?
I'm not saving on my fuel consumption but tolls around here have been waived, I'm saving time and funds on my commute these days however!
Quoted from PantherCityPins:Will we see sub $1 gas soon?
I know I'm in the minority, but god I hope not.
My incentives are directly proportionate to the cost of a barrel of crude thus I'm ok paying more. And since my incentive is exponentially greater than the fuel cost I incur, it's a no brainer. But I do feel for the balance of the country when we are at $2.50 and some are a buck more / gallon.
The refinery coast, we have been / are spoiled.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Well, you know what they call the person that graduates last in their class at Med School?

Quoted from Kiwipinhead:If you have Covid-19 in the U.S who pays for the test,medical or hospital stay? Insurance, you or government ?
Quoted from bwill:You, unless you have insurance. The insurance will pay all, part, or none of the cost depending on your coverage type.
Remember, in the USA, EVERYTHING is a for profit business!
Quoted from Mr68:I made the same post that day on my Facebook page and my friend Tony Clark posted this. Mac and cheese from 1991.
Am I the only one that wants to see what it looks like inside?
That's awesome!

Quoted from JodyG:Now that we have brought that to light, can we also discuss this:
And that means something VERY different in the 'pokey' !
Quoted from toastbot:Let's see, waiting for a check with the president's name on it
Right, how very egocentric of him!
I can almost hear it, WAIT hold the presses, the people need this money so let's delay it a few more days to figure out how my name can be on the checks!!! I'm sure he is pissed he can't 'sign' all the direct deposit money.
Quoted from Jaybird815:What is a check?
When a hockey player pushes an opponent into the glass?
Quoted from PantherCityPins:That statement was never true and still isn’t true today.
I think it was a quote from someone who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, same person who referred to the tests as "beautiful".
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Can we all agree that he is the ultimate optimist?
I don't recall if it was this thread, but I mentioned somewhere when I hear his 'updates' I'm reminded of Damone from Fast Times and his 5 point plan.
3. Act like wherever you are - that’s the place to be ... "isn't this great"...
So yes, the ultimate! Ain't it beautiful.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:2. Masks are useless, but maybe you have to wear one, it can save you, it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well.
Screen shot from a live 'update' in Houston. Masks are optional I guess.

Viscosity discussion?
Quoted from o-din:And please excuse me if I don't seem as worried as many are.
I really tied one on last night.
Greater than 120 proof? You're likely going to be fine (health-wise, well aside from the drinking).
Let's talk conspiracy theory, for a moment. If this has been discussed already, my apologies, hard to keep up with 223 pages of 'stuff'.
Trump gets elected with MAGA, going to bring manufacturing etc, back to the USA...
late 2019, China 'mysteriously' gets a new virus strain that eventually makes its way to the USA...
The USA begins to run out on supplies that are critical to care (among other things) and should be made here but are currently made in China...
2020 is an election year...
I leaving a few steps out but think you get the idea?
I'm just thinking out loud, because of the unfreezing process, I have no inner monologue.

Quoted from twoplays25c:Interestingly, the Legislature is out of session. So they've gathered to scream, honk horns, and endanger themselves and others, in front of an empty building.
nobody home, cross won't burn...
My goodness, some poor gullible people out there, and some despicable ones to try and capitalize on this stuff too.
Quoted from Mr68:my friend considered anything within 5 feet as a gimmie and pick up. Sorry, I mean my ex-friend.
Yea, everyone knows its 6 feet! DUH
Quoted from gweempose:It's hard to even fathom the stress that the people on the front lines are under. Very tragic indeed.
Right, and we "general population" get frustrated when our Amazon package is a day late. We know not what stress and frustration really is!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Whatever happened with last month’s game changing miracle drug hydro what’s its name?
Is that thing over?
For now the focus is on injecting Lysol I thought?
Quoted from ForceFlow:Some napkin math on sending out these letters,
Quoted from ForceFlow:Total cost to send out all these letters: $150,180,000
At a guesstimated discount postage price of $0.40: $125,150,000
Ouch.
Cost of perhaps the ultimate ego stroke... priceless
^^
I took my youngest to Sonic last night, and he literally did that as they are still building new houses on our road and he remarked at how many new ones since he left the house last.
Was quite humorous.
Quoted from gweempose:So have any of you guys been able to get hand sanitizer where you live?
We have been fortunate enough to have sourced over 30,000 gallons so far, and currently sitting on over 20,000 gallons. Our company 'acquired' all that could be produced from a local distillery through the end of May.
We've been shipping it everywhere under the sun. It's just pure denatured 80% Ethanol, but it works. Primarily going to automotive, facilities and food and beverage producers and chemical plants.
I'm actually getting worried we might have too much as I'm starting to get SPAM from competitors advertising they too have sanitizer. All be it about 2X what we are sourcing it for. I've heard Specs' is selling it, Lowes has gotten supplies.
Thus it's making it's way around.
Keep in mind we are working with just ONE local distillery, and there must be thousands of them in this country likely doing the very same thing.
How many gallons can I put you down for?
sani pallet (resized).jpgQuoted from CrazyLevi:Anybody in the mood for more bad news?
Second shutdown coming July?
Quoted from BeachPickle:I went to the local hardware this weekend. It was busy,
Stopped in the grocery store yesterday for one item. I think of all the people I saw, only TWO of us had masks. I kept wondering if they knew something I did not. I'm not a dooms dayer or anything but sheesh, going back to 'normal' maybe a little too quick?
Quoted from gweempose:Perhaps the CDC purposely gives inflated flu death estimates in order to encourage more people to get a flu shot each year.
If big pharma makes their 'donation' every year?
Quoted from ForceFlow:there were a handful of people roaming around without masks on, going the wrong way down aisles, and not following distancing rules
Quoted from gweempose:I was shocked to see two moms that I know walking together side by side with no masks
And will be the first ones crying on social media upon contraction of Covid, "oh woe is me, why me, please help me..."
Here you go in regards to the deceased getting checks:

Non Buffet story. Wife and I were at our local favorite pizza place. To our left a table with 4 moms and about 9 kids.
I notice one of the kids taking the parm shaker and licking the top of it, then passing it around to the others. The funny part was when they licked the red pepper shaker. 
The worst part was when one of the moms caught the kids doing it and just put it back in the middle of the table w/o saying anything!
As soon as they left, I did advise our waitperson whom quickly snatched them up and brought out what I assume were new ones but I'm just saying, it ain't just the buffet that is an issue! Stuff can happen anywhere.

Likely the same subset that feel wearing a mask is an affront to their constitutional rights.

Ok gang, I've resisted posting something like this for fear of being called out as a charlatan or sleazy salesman trying to capitalize on the pandemic, but if you or someone you know absolutely needs some sanitizer (with these new warnings) PM me. Our company is reselling some sanitizer made by a local Houston distillery. It is 70% grain alcohol gel, no methanol. The smallest size is gallon, we can ship anywhere and that is all I will post here about it so as not to make this a sales thread. PM for further details.

Any interviews with people like this AFTER the fact, if they survive? That would be interesting.
Mask debate...
Think about this for a moment, do masks work? Um YES, why do nurses and doctors wear them in hospitals?? They wore them BEFORE the Covid 19 pandemic, they wear them currently, and they will wear them AFTER the pandemic. How else could one explain the fact they are not ALWAYS sick from what the ill drag into the clinics??? If they did not work, wouldn't we have a 100% infection rate among the health care workers. Psst, they also wash their hands a lot too. 
This has probably been said already in the 350 pages of this topic but I figured it was worth repeating, unlike a lot of crap in this topic. Thank you for listening.

I had an interesting conversation with an anti vax guy last week whom had been pretty big to bash the idea. Sent me emails about the "China virus" and how the vaccine is more dangerous than the Covid. So he tells me two of his older golfing buddies died last week from complications of Covid. I flat out asked him, so, you re-thinking that vaccine now? Hell yes, wish I had not missed my opportunity I had last month was his response.

Quoted from Utesichiban:I know many will cry any restrictions violate their rights. I personally, however, have no issue with some possible restrictions being implemented in the short term. People have the right not to be vaccinated but I think business owners and public health officials also have the right to do what they think is best for the safety and welfare of their customers and the general public.
Back when I had a business, each of my locations had signage that stated "We reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE". To my recollection, we never had to refuse service though.
But that was the 90s before all this cancel culture crap and it was not publicly traded company or the like.
It will be interesting going forward to see how big business deals with the conspiracy theory anti-vax crowd.
Quoted from hAbO:We can land a rover on Mars but refuse to follow simple directions.

In the grocery store this weekend, most were mask less, lady walks past us, then a few feet away coughs, and clearly did nothing to cover it.
I told the wife, THAT is why we are still wearing our masks!
Quoted from RTR:Days later he was admitted to a hospital with Covid. Spent 55 days on a ventilator, 8 months in hospitals, had to have a liver transplant and will now spend the rest of his now immunocompromised life being very kind to someone else's liver in hopes it doesn't bail on him. His rural ruggedly independent county is 69% UNvaccinated.
Sadly I think this is what all the other anti-vaxers / anti- maskers will have to endure before they come around.
We may be on the Zeta variant before this happens too.
I wonder how many people have reconsidered the shot but are the type that just can't be wrong. Thus they WON'T get the shot now as that would be admitting they have a fault. For goodness sake people, don't be one of those on a death bed admitting to being wrong and praying the vaccine will help when it is far too late
How many stories have to be posted of strong nay sayers who only end up dead "from a little cold" before we can admit fault?
Anyone else think this could be the case in some folks?
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:And pediatric unit beds for Covid kids, is now a huge problem.
Quoted from PantherCityPins:The F-ing point is that if we all get vaccinated and the amount of people with COVID in the hospital goes down then when YOU get sick with something or crash a four wheeler or have a heart attack YOU aren’t sitting in an ER somewhere for days on end because all the beds at the major medical center are filled with people who wondered WTF the point was.

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:It's really hard to educate people who actively refuse to get educated.
One of my attorneys, whom one would think is a pretty well educated fellow, unbeknownst to me was a huge anti-vaxer, he is going on week 6 suffering with "just a little cold".
I'm eager to hear what he thinks now, should he pull through.
Quoted from nwpinball:Meanwhile, at the local feed store..
Wellll, there are plenty of sheep among us.
Setting: very rural town in Alabama, specifically Washington County, my mom lives there so, yea, um, I believe her:
47 y/o female, contacts Delta, passes away from complications approx 3 days after diagnosis.
Her parents (my mothers neighbors), in their 80's both of whom had NOT been vaxed, received their first shots 1 day after their daughter was in the ground.
WHY, WHY, WHY does it take the above scenario to convince some people?
Quoted from ForceFlow:I think they don't see it as a real thing until it affects them directly. It kind of shocks them out of the reality distortion field that they're living in.
Oh, yes, I'm sure that is a big part, their political leaning is a part. Also I know this specific community feels "isolated" enough from the big city not to worry.
OOOPs !

Quoted from Oaken:Governor of Texas just tested positive. Anyone know if he was vaccinated?
Am I am ass for lol'ing when I read that?
Rhetorical question folks, the answer has been and will always be yes, just ask my wife.
Quoted from cottonm4:But at the same time he talks about the "know your rights" and it seems that more people listen to the "know your rights" mantra than pay attention that their governor did get vaccinated.
The above, and this:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/18/politics/greg-abbott-covid-19-texas/index.html
"It's not about freedom -- we have never had the freedom to endanger others knowingly -- but rather about civic responsibility. We are all in this together, and the actions of one impact many.
That elected officials like Abbott continue to prioritize political calculation over public health is deeply disappointing and, candidly, selfish."
I don't often agree with that "news" agency, but those last two statements seemed to speak volumes.
Quoted from Jamesays:My antivax Brother from another state just called to say hes coming near me and wants to visit.Hes a trucker no vac.I want to see him as I rarely get a chance but I may have to say no thanks.Any thoughts
Tell him you would really like to but something suddenly came up.
Quoted from RTR:Another unvaccinated conservative radio host, Phil Valentine (right here in Nashville TN), has died from Covid. A Fauci bashing, Covid downplaying, "vaccine cautious" influencer, he had a death bed change of heart about vaccinations over the last month.
Well, to his credit, the vaccine didn't kill him.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:If you want death - TODAY, not in 2021 - head down to Texas and Florida.
That is but ONE hospital system near by.
Doc, I applaud your patience for repeating yourself over and over again for the non believers.
Thank you for being a continued great source of detail, I for one sure do appreciate it!
I am starting to think every anti-vaxer is going to actually have to contract Covid before we are "out of the woods".
So far, in my circle of people I know of who are nay-sayers, track record is going rather well. Most of them are either recovering from or suffering with it currently.
Any tables out there to predict how long of a process that would take if hard headed folks continue to deny this is a real sickness?
Would that be called 'natural' herd immunity?
Maybe this was covered back on page 2?

For God sake, don't mandate masks...
I think it's likely been said a few time in this topic already, if masks did not work against communicable diseases, why would doctors and nurses wear them treating patients in hospitals. Pretty sure they do!
Quoted from Trekkie1978:They also don’t wear the same mask all day. Let alone for days, weeks, or even months at a time the way all of us do.
Add on top that they are trained how to properly wear them.
That is true, however, do you sneeze and or cough into your palm or arm, or do you spew your saliva / possible phlegm all over the environment and persons near by? Would a mask and sneezing into you palm / arm further reduce particle spread?
When you blow your nose, do you use a tissue or just hawk your mucus all over people and objects nearby? If you use a tissue, why?
