    But why?

    Because they're going to use flu deaths to inflate corona death stats.

    Or, they don't want you to see that flu deaths are drastically down and have you discern that all the flu deaths were counted as COVID deaths. (that's probably what you meant)

    Went to the local feed store to get pre-emergent herbicide for the Fall application. I noticed no one is wearing masks, no mandatory sign on door, so I go in there with my Pantera mask on and ask “do I need to wear this here” the owners looked and me with a smile and said “no sir”. That was the most normal it’s felt going out in months.

    I see so many living in just shear fear, even my neighbor who’s son and daughter in law refuse to see their grand kids who live 6 house down...Yet I’ll talk with him no mask, maybe 6 feet apart and that’s okay but them seeing their grand kids isn’t...C’Mon On Man!

    It's a known fact that kids are germ spreaders. They should all be locked up.

    The neighbor that won’t see the grandkids has smoked cigarettes all his life and still does...I think he’s in fear of getting it from one of the grand kids but says he’s afraid to spread it to the grand kids...I get that he’s being cautious but damn, outside drinking and smoking with the neighbors every night seems worse than seeing them, his family his choice though.

    As predicted, Pfizer announces the cure as soon as the election is over. Hmm....coincidence?

    Not sure I understand how people in care centers get Covid.
    Was just notified that my dad, who is around 87 or so and in a care center has covid.
    He can't leave the facility, so he didn't just catch it walking down the street.
    This is a place that won't allow any of his children to see him because of Covid, but yet he gets covid?
    WTF?

    How can anyone have any faith that a care center is taking care of people, when this kind of thing happens?

    It comes in with staff members. Thankfully my child bride keeps testing negative but staff members there have gotten it and had to be quarantined....

    Vaccines to protect against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have risen up the agenda of most policy makers and individuals as the second wave of COVID-19 in northern hemisphere countries grows and there is increasing pressure on health-care systems. For any licensed vaccine, efficacy and duration of protection are key issues. Vaccine efficacies to protect against infection above 80% are desirable,1 but duration of protection will remain uncertain for a number of years post licensure of COVID-19 vaccines. Preliminary evidence suggests waning antibody titres in those who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection,2 but antibodies are only one part of the human immune response and acquired immunity to reinfection or the prevention of disease when reinfected.3, 4, 5 Data on immunity to other coronaviruses suggest that immunity to SARS-CoV-2 might be short lived, perhaps 12–18 months in duration.6 Whether past infection will prevent severe COVID-19 on re-exposure to SARS-CoV-2 is not known at present.
    Presently 45 candidate COVID-19 vaccines are in clinical trials in humans and ten of these vaccines are in phase 3 trials,7, 8 with expectations that some results might be announced before the end of 2020. If the results of the phase 3 trials are satisfactory, wide-scale deployment of COVID-19 vaccines is not expected until mid to late 2021.

    In other words, expect more of the same BS from politicians for another year.

    Got phone calls last week and more yesterday about kids testing positive at my daughters high school. She started running a low grade fever Sunday. Monday me and my other daughter started also. My doctor canceled my appointments for Thursday and Friday, Saturday is the soonest we can get tested because they’re getting bombarded with testing here now.

    Wishing you good luck and if infected a mild case. Holding you and your family in the Light.

    Thanks Edward, hopefully just the typical fall/winter stuff where the weather keeps flip flopping. But the way this year has been going better to be safe and get tested.

    Hope all turns out well. Beginning with negative tests.
    My son and soon to be daughter in law both tested positive him with none and her with mild flu symptoms. Keep us posted

    We're all going to get it, it's just a matter of time. I don't understand why we're fighting it so hard. It's inevitable. 98% survivability rate.

    In a way I agree with you we just can’t all have it at the same time because so many do have to be hospitalized.

    Hopefully we are on the downward slope again by January 20th because I can see Biden doing another lockdown.
