“We must have no stigma, none, about wearing masks when we leave our homes and come near other people. Wearing simple face coverings is not about protecting ourselves, it is about protecting everyone we encounter," Mitch McConnell.
Trump’s Tweet response - “The Lone Warrior”
Trump really needs to stop undermining the effort to get people to wear masks. Dangerous game he is playing.
I realize for mind-numb robots, like yourself, who take your marching orders from George Soros et al (aka Nazis), it's difficult for you to grasp the notion that no one on our side listens to Trump re: wearing masks, and some other stuff he tweets about. It is absolutely inconceivable (always think of the "Sicilian" in the Princess Bride when I see that word, "it's inconceivable!" [slight lisp]) for you to understand that we arrive at decisions TOTALLY on our own. If said decisions happen to align with what Trump advocates it is mere coincidence. And, of course, we know no one on your side listens to Trump on such matters, so that means, practically no one is wearing masks or not wearing masks because of anything Trump says or does. So, get over it! There is no "dangerous game" being played by Trump because he exerts very little to no influence on "the game."Originally Posted by Guisslapp
Back to C-19 for a moment...
just off the phone with a friend and colleague, a visiting professor who teaches a class at NSU and stays in our guest house sometimes to keep from doing all that driving, as he lives near Lake Charles. The man is 82 years old and simply doesn't want to just be retired. He told me he was in the hospital for nearly a week recently battling, and beating, pneumonia. He has a history of getting pneumonia. The doctors tested him for the C-19 virus when he was admitted...came back negative. Then, they tested him again before they would release him...came back negative again. He has no antibodies indicating he had C-19, but has a bunch for the common flu bugs. But, one of the doctors at the hospital...not his personal physician...insisted he must have C-19. Even when others argued he tested negative that doctor kept on about the reliability of the tests. He said, if 50% of the tests return false positives, it follows that often the tests return false negatives too. Well...Dr. T. (that's PhD "Doctor T.") said he told his personal physician to sign the release order because he felt great and was ready to go home. His doctor did.
I asked Doc T. if that other doctor seemed to be advocating, or even rooting, for him to be C-19 positive and was disappointed he wasn't. He said he didn't know and didn't understand what that doctor was hoping to accomplish. His personal physician, when asked, just shrugged it off saying "that is just Doctor Other Guy being himself...". You can read into that whatever you wish.
This does raise the bigger question, is the current test accurate and reliable, or not? I have started doing some Internet searches on it and have only found some sources that say, yes, the test is fine, and other equally, seemingly reliable sources questioning the validity of the test. Back in April Dr. Birx said she had concerns about the reliability of the tests. But I don't see anything more recent.
Covid deaths being undercounted?

Have you seen a link to the study, I'd like to read it. The only thing I can find was produced earlier.

Has anyone seen guidance on when someone would be admitted to the hospital with Covid? Are there specific criteria or do the doctors have a lot of leeway?
Here in Houston, I know anecdotally that some folks are getting turned away for not being sick enough. I am not sure about the admission criteria.
Gumps... what are you gonna do...

Alabama students throwing 'COVID parties' to see who gets infected: Officialsquote:
Students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 have been attending parties in the city and surrounding area as part of a disturbing contest to see who can catch the virus first, a city council member told ABC News on Wednesday.quote:
"They put money in a pot and they try to get COVID. Whoever gets COVID first gets the pot. It makes no sense," McKinstry said. "They're intentionally doing it."
Tuscaloosa Fire Chief Randy Smith told the City Council on Tuesday that he has confirmed the students' careless behavior.
Hannity: wear a mask.
Pence: wear a mask.
Trump (just today): all for masks.
But? ... Muh freedoms
Ouch.
What’s the EU and the UK doing right to knock the virus down that the US is getting wrong?
Serious question.
Their presidents/prime ministers led and didn’t fight science.
