Having a now crawling infant makes working from home nearly impossible.
Sister got released today.Looks like she will need dialysis going forward
Happy she isn't dead
Some hoax
It is working okay. My son is 10. Not something I would want long term, but I don't think it's doing much long-term harm, especially since all kids are in this boat.Quote:

The one good thing is that we can actually see what's going on in school, rather than having the usual limited visibility when he's in a normal classroom. Sometimes I sit on the side off-camera and make sure he stays focused.
Well this is semi-good news, I guess?Quote:

My partner at work just tested positive, we shared a work truck Friday. My work just sent me home with pay, I go back the 18th. I’m really enjoying the covid hype! Most my friends and family have had it, zero deaths, zero issues most complain of fatigue. I had zero issues when I had it. I’ve been around probably 6-7 people who had covid, very long periods and very close contact. I’ve never gotten it again. Maybe this is the time lol
Easier to sweat this when you're under 35, though, amirite?
NopeQuote:

She got diabetes when prego with her 2nd baby and then got covid and that destroyed her kidneys
She was quite healthy before covid..considering she is diabetic. Not overweight decent diet doesn't drink or smoke.
I guess its semi good news least she isnt dead and her kids still have their mom but it's sickening and im beyond pissed off about it and so is the rest of my family
Damn, sorry to hear that.Quote:

I wouldn't consider this even semi good news but at least she isnt dead and her kids still have their mom but it's sickening and im beyond pissed off about it and so is the rest of my family
Have I got a story for you guys
My cousins wife got Covid.
She is in her late 20s.
Oh and did I mention she is 7 months pregnant?
For some reason she was working in retail leading up to her getting this. Now, she has been in the hospital for 8 days and cant keep any food down.
I would be a dick to bring up the obvious here but considering she is still dealing with this, my cousin( who cant even see her) has taken work off this week and doesnt even want me visiting and wants to be alone
Pretty scary situation.
Is she in the hospital because of not being able to keep food down, or is there something beyond that?
Does she have any breathing issues?
Ya, I posted here a few days ago about my nurse friend in Pennsylvania that delivers babies. She’s seeing tons of pregnant women with Covid and it has her shook.Quote:

Not sure but if I were you i'd be very carefulQuote:

I can’t say I disagree Druff but all our friends are in their 40s and 50s. After hearing their experiences I kinda think it’s BS.Quote:

I wonder if statins of the virus are worse then others.
I also don’t know anyone that’s died. However, I know several people that have lingering complications months later. This thing attacks blood vessels thus damages various organs, permanent in some cases. Not sure how society would go about quantifying these impacts but they’re significant. The current model of only tracking if someone dies or not is misleading IMO.
Thanks, i hardly leave the house, mainly to go to my kids baseball games and I sit by myself, far far away from others.Quote:

The people who get it and get really sick have some this specific gene
I read it a while ago and idk if it's true or not and I don't remember all the details but this article stated that it has something to do with genetics
Fuck Rudy Giuliani.
He is not a celebrity.
He is a lying, piece of shit.
i was wondering how covid numbers compare to US WW II deaths. found this from Atlanta journal constitution. the article is 5 years old, so what.
>1300 US covid deaths yesterday. imagine people in 1942, 43, 44 saying
"the war is a hoax. the govt wants to control us. my rights are being violated. there are no soldiers dying. and if any soldiers are dying it's just heart attacks and cancers. Pearl Harbor was a Hollywood production,
look for the shadows. have you been to PH and seen for yourself. the war will go away. i refuse to ration anything. will cheat, steal and scam to get mine. gold star families are paid from war bonds to be in the war scam."

I’m seeing 3265 deaths yesterday. More than 9/11

More than 9/11, but 9/11 was much worse in terms of years lost of life.Quote:

These 3265 deaths were mostly old people who already had major preexisting conditions, and the small number of non-old people also had major conditions, thus also making their expected remaining time alive shorter.
It wouldn't surprise me if the people who died yesterday of COVID had an average of 10 or fewer years left, on average, if they didn't get COVID.
I mean, it still is really sad, and if the vaccines are really as good as advertised, this will be a modern marvel and triumph of humanity. It should also soften people about "Big Pharma", because for all their flaws, that's who managed to get this done in less than a year.
I’m sure in a week it’s about the same in years of life lost
Gonna hit days of 5k.Quote:

So... Joe Biden has "followed the science" and hired Dr. Marcela Nunez-Smith to head a new “Equity Task Force” that will address the ways the pandemic has disproportionately hit disadvantaged people and communities of color.
It's a racist disease, guys.
Nunez-Smith thinks racism is the reason that Latino and Black people are 2.8 times as likely to die after contracting COVID-19 than white people. She does not cite any verified causes of this, nor does she cite any specific recent cases where black people were given worse COVID medical care because of their race.
She has stated recently that "systemic racism" is at fault here. She completely ignores the fact that black people -- especially black women -- are more likely to be obese than their white counterparts, and obesity has been a proven major factor in COVID outfcomes. It is also possible that genetics play a role, and black people could simply be more likely to have a worse COVID experience for that reason, as is the case with some other diseases.
But no need to study that stuff! It's just a really racist disease in a systemically racist society, you see. But Woke Biden is going to fix it by hiring this nutcase to run his idiotic, pandering "Equity Task Force".

SCIENCE!!!
On a side note, after this is all over (or at least significantly better), we will have a situation which would have been unthinkable in 2019:
Big Pharma will be seen as the good guys, and the appetite for gun control will be at its lowest point in decades.
The riots of 2020 completely changed the narrative regarding personal gun ownership. We were rapidly heading toward increased gun control measures as a result of the spree killings and school shootings, and many were starting to buy into the belief that guns in the home have little practical use and cause more problems than they solve. That's not the popular belief anymore. With so much law enforcement forced to stand down by higher-ups, and with riots spreading to the suburbs in some cities, people want guns more than ever.
If the vaccine(s) end up successful and either eradicate COVID or greatly reduce the danger, Big Pharma will be hailed as heroes and miracle workers, and al of a sudden the growing hatred for this industry will die down. It already has, if you've noticed.
Crazy times.
Every time you post this, I think ofQuote:
