The Coronavirus Thread...

[yimyammer]

Welp, my cousin apparently has covid and is on a ventilator.

I half believe it. I’d hate to sound insensitive, but he’s a compulsive liar on the level of Hostile.

I don’t know what to believe when I hear shit from his mother, because she believes everything he says and repeats some of the shit to other people and I just cringe.

Idk.

how old is he?

how old is he?

39, he’ll be 40 this year.

He was told his heart was only working 30% of what it should be about a year ago. He’s been diabetic for about 10 years and still smashes at least a 2 liter of soda per day.

He just doesn’t care about himself. At some point you have to think about the kids you’re leaving behind.

double post

I’m hoping it’s his usual bullshit and he’s not as bad as what I’ve heard.

This is the same guy that told me he was getting ready to be deployed to Afghanistan, but I found out by mentioning it to my mom, he wasn’t even in the military.

crazy times when you have to resort to hoping your cousin is just lying again, which I hope he is

A real eyeopener, for sure.

At 22:39, a doctor's video statement sure contradicts what our "doctor" here has been saying.

Couldn't agree more.

You can shove your apology up your entitled ass, judge. You work for the people not the other way around, jackwagon

I cannot believe how much protein is going up this late in the game.

She responded a whole lot nicer than I would have

So what is this dumb cunt saying?

Why test people who don't have symptoms is my guess. Cmon I mean I'm not going to get tested because I'm not sick...

Couldn't you could be asymptomatic and infect those you care about (& those you donate are about)? I'd like to be tested as well as my circle of people I come into contact with for this reason. Those in my circle also work out of their house and have had little contact with others outside of shopping trips and a few errands (while wearing a mask) so knowing we dont have it would allow us to at least hang out with each other. I haven't seen my girlfriend for 6 weeks.

She has a point that eventually the test loses its value the more exposed we are to others who may have infected us post-test but I still think it would be great if testing was fast, cheap and easy.

I wish there was a small home device that could test you (via saliva) before you left your house everyday that also checked your temp and perhaps a few other vitals but I'm not in the field of expertise so what I am proposing is probably very difficult otherwise it would already be done and available to the masses

I honestly don't think about it that much. Then again we are going over a week in my county with no new cases. So middle Missouri isn't really a hotbed.

So you think testing every single person in the country is an option? So what do we do with the people that test pos+ for the antibodies but never get sick? Do we demand everyone they come in contact with quarantine for 2 weeks? Who is going to enforce this? And why does anyone think we will go along with it?

Yea fuck that, I have no doubt that would be abused by the tyrants in power
