The federal government is limited like it's supposed to be.
Most hospitals(I've stated this before), are corporate and/or state run. Who's doing the inventories, organization, and planning? It's not on the federal government for that. They're supposed to be in support of if needed.
ALL are at the mercy of the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping processes. If orders are placed, they don't get filled. They're still finding stock piles of things here and there. How did so much become misplaced and/or unaccounted for? Who's doing the records keeping?
I'm not a big fan of "Time" but I have nothing else at the moment.
I think any given year, when a person becomes sick enough to have to at least be bed ridden for a couple of days or so, there may be a possibility of ong term effects.
That's just my opinion. Yes. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger to point. It still weakens us in other points to win the battle. Just not sure how much or what.
I did get two days this week nice to get the bike out. And some work minor work done on my truck.
Dreading when it dries up enough that I have to start the yard work. I'd rather ride when it's nice out. I always have to flip a coin on those days. Sometimes until I get a more desired result. The other times I just start what has to be done with frown. I always feel better when it's done though.
At this point, there were a lot of sick people in my area during the first two months of the year.
There's no way to know for certain what was influenza or something else. Travel bans started in late January. No actual testing and such until much later.
I was reading an article earlier indication Some places in Kansas were still open including bars and such.
They may actually be more on the right track than others and they may not. There's no way to track actual corona infection with more not having the major ill effects than those that are.
Next time influenza comes through, we should all shut down just like now.
They weren't fired. They were merged as departments were combined to cut out more middle people.
The fools are the people that don't wait for the rest of the stories to at least start being put forward.
Now, apparently there are some emails surfacing concerning the CDC that may not look good for them. Maybe that would a good read to help your "narrative" jim. Indications so far seem to actually fall on the CDC.
Lots of estimates. Still no way to know or have a full count in any of them.
Either way, it's looking pretty foolish as the numbers in these models or mostly for potential infected and can only give another type of projection in fatality.
Percentages have been dropping in projected fatality rates. Especially as they are finding ways to fight it better.
Some estimates were from a place in the U.K. that has the U.S. death rate at 2.2 million people. That model has been starting to be pommeled as too high with extreme and unchecked conditions put into it.
there isn't going to be a 55% death rate. Especially when they already state that 80% or so will have symptoms mild enough that they won't even know they have or had the virus.
We're not getting any full numbers of infected. We're only getting numbers from the worst cases that can be tracked and accounted for.
When there's something with a 60-100% death rate besides nuclear war, let me know. As long as it's something comparable to what we have and know now, it's not worth the turmoil.
I understand it could be a matter of life and death for some. Death doesn't know an age range and it doesn't have just one single cause.
The truth and fact is, there's no way it's never going to be other wise with any thing.
We will all be at that point in our lives sooner or later. Maybe sudden, maybe fighting, maybe lucky to be old and happily sleeping. No one knows when, how, or why.
We're going to pretend like people never die now? We already have numbers and studies from past pandemics and a whole lot of other causes. Sometimes they are able to come up with a vaccine. Just as we're gathering information and numbers now. And still not thinking the life part though they think they might have comparable numbers. Only preaching the death.
Based on what's known, questioned, and being tested, I think the general population is pretty safe over all.
I have a lot of aunts, uncles, one grandparent, and my mother. It's a very real possibility many of them wouldn't survive if they contracted the new virus.
With any of the known contagions, we never know what year will be the year to lose one or more. It may not even be a contagion that takes them.
This new version just doesn't seem too far off from the others. That is the biggest threat about it. It's new but still survivable.
I was laid up the first five days of February this year. All similar symptoms like a cross between pneumonia and the flu. Just as travel bans and such were being put out.
I'm not one to go to a doctor much either. since it's been a really long time that I've ever been hit with any thing that hard, I was considering it.
Common sense, I stayed home from work the first two days the following week since it hit on the start of the weekend.
Out of curiosity, if test kits had been available, with out a doubt; I would have used one just know.
It pretty much started to clear up quickly after I bought some nyquil over the counter so I could sleep.
I can't sit back with doom and gloom because it's not accurate. I'm pretty relaxed most days.
There's still more good going on with the new virus than bad. A lot more. It's too bad they mostly only report the worse.
Over all, it's still not looking any worse than the others we go through every year. Maybe even a little lighter if we had actual, COMPLETE, information.

what his businesses hold, which are also out of his control, I can't say.
