Re: Dire prediction- the pandemic and the "invincibles"....


May 24, 2020, 9:26 AM

I agree with your assessment. I have not been extremely worried about the virus here in our neck of the country, but have been careful by distancing, closing our office, etc. I was excited by reopening of businesses and restaurants (going out to eat is what my wife and I love to do!).

But it seems like it is too much, too fast over the past three weeks. We went from opening boat landings, to all boating activities, to opening retail, to close contact businesses, to amusement parks in a very much accelerated pace. The rush to open almost everything by Memorial Day may backfire.

Before anyone says "wrong boared MORAN", one of my biggest concerns with the reopening(s) is football. I help to coach a middle school team, and I love high school, college, and pro ball. The back-to-normal movement is welcomed, but without folks still acting like this virus is a serious thing, there will be an upward trend through June/July which would cause the commissioners, high school league folks, and goodell to make some decisions which we may not like.

Being smart is paramount so that we have football Unfortunately in the news this AM, there were a couple of folks shot in Union County last night. There were 1000 people at a block party. Seems like being smart ain't alot of folks strong suit....

Yall have a good Sunday.

Agreed. Unfortunately the reopening of pretty much everything will single to many that everything is OK, when it’s not OK. Mix in the people that never cared or bothered to attempt social distancing, wearing masks and the other precautions and you have a whole lotta (Mike Williams reference) people potentially spreading Covid 19. End result, more people dying and another shutdown. See case in point:

https://www.wthr.com/article/hairstylists-potentially-expose-coronavirus-140-clients-missouri-great-clips?amp

On a personal note, someone that has been around my family tested positive for Covid 19 this past Thursday. Once you find out you’ve been around someone who is positive it will send a shockwave down your spine. Now we (family) are in a 14 day self quarantine. When you feel like you have been exposed you gain a whole new prospective. By the way, the person that tested positive has shown no symptoms, so this is a deadly sneaky virus.

Stay safe out there!

A surgical mask (or even worse, cloth) is not going to be adequate when you are in someone’s grill for an hour. That doesn’t mean it’s “worthless theater”. It can help reduce quantity and distance of viral projection.

Watching the news last night, they were interviewing people who had come to Myrtle Beach. The hotels were filled at or near capacity. Then they interviewed visitors for Maryland and New York, who all said they came down here to get away from virus since it wasn't as bad here.

It makes you wonder is that is good for South Carolina? It is good for our economy, but does it bring more harm than good? Only time will answer that question. I hope not because I sure want football in the fall.

the Northeasterners that either drove down to SC or rented private planes to escape the epicenter and since the rentals were wide open, they could rent beach front property early spring cheap, escape the epidemic, and enjoy life. Supposedly over 10% of the vacationers brought CV with them which elevated our numbers since they felt like they were in free land and could go to stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc, etc since they had escaped the worst already. Only they were carelessly sharing it amongst the S Carolinians which elevated our infected rates by as much as 25% or more.

If i was governor, i would have shut down the borders like Florida and Alaska, but I honestly don't blame the New yorkers because I would have done the same. Not their fault, they were doing what's best for them but in return really increased our infected rates, but we had hospital capacity where they were peaking

Compromise sounds like a rather genteel act of maturity. Unfortunately the positions the left have taken over the last 30 years or so cannot be met halfway as they destroy all semblance of freedom and personal responsibility. They continue to stake out positions further to the left every 5 years and if you compromise with their positions then in 30 years you end up farther left than they started out.

Some facts that you need reminding of.

1. The original lock down was based on fake models written by idiots
2. The lock down's purpose of flattening the "curve" was to not overwhelm the medical system
3. The lock down was not instituted to prevent the spread--See above.
4. As testing increases the number of cases will increase
5. The survival rate is between 98 and 99 percent
6. Most people have very mild symptoms or never knew they had it
7. It is serious for the very elderly with very serious health problems to begin with
8. Do every thing possible to protect the elderly
9. There may never be a viable vaccine

It is paramount that all restrictions on the economy and personal freedom be lifted at once. If you value the future of your children and grandchildren you will also advocate for this.

The fact is that this epidemic is deadly, it’s killed more
Americans than a 10 year war in an Asian jungle in the matter of months. And those that have taken care of their houses, minded their business and kept good books are cake walking through this quarantine because they’ve been practicing self sacrifice and discipline their whole life to get where they are. Everyone yelling and shouting about the economy and their rights are dummies and losers with a credit line that has them up against the wall and they wouldnt know the word discipline if they stepped on it.

I’m not aware of recommendations that Americans go inside public buildings without wearing a mask. You can’t fix lazy, stupid, or if I’m being generous uninformed. Fortunately, this virus is fatal to a very small segment of our population and they should know who they are and they can take measures to protect themselves from the irresponsible. It’s a fact that Americans will continue to contract this virus, and vast majority will recover. The lockdown must be relaxed and the economy re-opened. Not doing that is a clear and present danger for those that must work to support their families and their employees. If not literally tens of millions of Americans will suffer all sorts of difficulties and harm far beyond what this terrible virus has done. That’s my understanding of where are now.

Since we should all have the freedom to not wear masks and not worry about social distancing, shouldn’t someone who has Covid be allowed to live their life as they choose? Including choosing to not wear a mask and visit you at your house?

Or what about someone who was exposed to it but they don’t know if they have it - why do they need to self quarantine? Or wear mask? Isn’t that infringing on their right to choose how they want to live their life?

So I’m exposed - I just choose not to have the test because it does not feel good - shouldn’t I be allowed to go where I want, do what I want, be near who I want? I don’t have it (as far as I know!)

Do we “force” someone to get the test? Do we force them to isolate? Or do we just hope they do the right thing and get tested and isolate?

Seems like getting the test and/or self isolating is much more uncomfortable then taking the time to put on a mask or just back away from someone -and I think most would agree that those in an “uncertain” state should isolate... who cares about their rights.

Ultimately it seems that you have to hope people are considerate enough to help out their fellow man (woman) and they don’t say ”to he** with the rest of the world- I want to do what I want to do.”

When does your right to live your life as you choose infringe upon my right to just live? If Covid was twice as deadly, would that be enough to wear a mask? If it was 4 times as deadly? Just wondering what the magic number is.

Just a few questions/thoughts... personally I’m wearing a mask because I try to be considerate of others. Maybe it will help me, maybe not.

Granted you could use this same reasoning to say we should all be wearing a mask all the time — i.e. Flu, common cold, etc. so definitely understand everyone needs to make own choice - just seems there is a little circular logic in some arguments.

Every 13 days 100,000 people die. For decades. Coronavirus has been, and will be, a small percentage of people who die this year.... I wouldn't let this thing bother you so much, you are letting the media tell you how to feel. Trust the data, and focus on the percent of positives....new cases are on the rise b/c there is so many more tests out there now, but the rate of positives is dropping rapidly, I would get over it all and live your life. I do not wear a mask, my wife doesn't, my 4 kids don't and do not even get me started on how dumb gloves are...Remember when everyone in Georgia was going to die, according to the media? The state has now been open for a month and deaths have plummeted. Most in the media are ignoring the data from Georgia because they wrote articles like "Georgia's Experiment in Human Sacrifice" when Georgia opened. If the death rate had spiked it would lead the news every day. But since deaths have continued to decline for a month — crickets... You will see the same here in SC, my family and I have been eating at restaurants the last two weeks (since they re-opened indoor eating) and it has been fantastic, gone to the beach multiple times--we are still alive and very healthy. If you are in the category of being in danger if you catch it, by all means protect yourselves--but the majority of America will be fine and healthy, and there will 100% be football, on time, with fans in the stands (in some capacity) in the fall...

Over 100 years ago we did the exact same things... schools and churches closed, no gathering in groups, wear masks, etc. We had almost no understanding of infectious diseases back then, but just good old common sense about how to slow down the spread.

Probably the only difference is - I bet most folks back then were willing to comply, because people weren't obsessed with conspiracy theories like they are today. LOL.

ClemsonTigers44, u r wrong on GA, the media isn’t trying to trick anyone, the reality is that since the state “re-opened” most people have been smart enough to refrain from going to restaraunts, churches, parties, planes,etc. As of Friday restaraunts were operating at 17% of normal capacity. So while the state is “open” folks r exercising their rights to eat out or stay home. The govt is letting people make their own decisions and allowing natural selection to play out. Large majority choosing not to dine with you. Lots of new business models popping up. Smart folks adapt and live their lives. Dumbs one keep dong what they did pre virus. Moving average for new cases and moving average for deaths have both remained steady since early April. Media not trying to fool you. No deep state here. Survival of the smartest. Good luck.

You should also probably try to read better, I never said the media is trying to fool anyone about Georgia, I said they are not covering it's successful re-open and drop in infections and death, like they would be covering it if the opposite had happened... No worries though, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and go out and about, or don't and stay locked in your home--either way the world will be fine and COVID 19 will not end it :)

Big house, deaths in the medical community are not reported in real time, so the official graphs show significant fluctuations based on the day of the week.

Look closely and you'll see an aberrant low roughly every 7 days, followed by an aberrant high. For real time results, you'd be better off splitting the combined totals of those two days every cycle. Even though the result would clearly be an estimate, it would be closer to the true number than the delayed-reporting numbers.

Also, the single nursing home in Hancock County is responsible for most of the most recent spike upwards. It creates what is commonly called an outlier, an aberration that is outside of the statistical trend. Unless we continue infecting rural nursing homes in GA, the Hancock Co home should be considered as a single infectious event, not a trend. The rest of Hancock was relatively unaffected.

Bottom line is GA guvnah done good job letting folks make their own decisions, I believe in eat what u kill, go get your stats from the source u r comfy with and make ur own decisions. Don’t cook up this BS about the media not reporting something. R u so weak that the media is gonna mislead you? The media reported that the guvnah reported that restraraunts are at 17% capacity. That’s right, his office released the stats and media reported it. So the guvnah and the media both reported that while the state has formally reopened, most folks have independently made decisions to not go back to full normal. It seems to me that given the current presence of cases and deaths (your stats or mine) the citizens of GA, the media and the guvnah have done nice job of managing and letting folks make decisions. In GA and SC you r free to go out n eat. Go for it. Just quit whining bout the media. I’m a fierce survivalist. Extremely independent. Not depending on the media to make my decisions. I’m not gonna spend any time worrying about people infringing on my rights or misleading me. I can handle myself. Instead i spend most of my life helping others, folks that don’t have the balls brains and resources that I do. When are folks gonna have the balls to admit that the media has BS’d citizens since the invention of the courier pigeon. Are people smart enough to select solid sources of information and make good decisions? Some yes, some no. I wish u and your family the best. I’m going to fix another bourbon, then a fourth right after that.

In the US we are testing significantly more people every day/week. Ya think that might cause the number of infections to rise? DUH?!?!?!?

Re: Follow deaths not infections.


May 24, 2020, 9:38 PM

That’s pretty pathetic logic. We all know that more tests will increase the number of known cases. I think what you were trying to say is “actual cases” is a more valuable statistic than “known cases”; and the more testing and the more cases we identify the better ability we have to move away from the statistic of known cases and get closer to the statistic of actual cases. It is seriously faulty logic to say that since testing increases known cases we should devalue a figure for known cases OR actual cases. If you’re having trouble distinguishing between known cases and actual cases stick to debating the finer points of a 34 defense versus a 43 defense.

A recurrent theme that I keep seeing in terms of cases and


May 25, 2020, 3:37 PM

spread centers around longer term exposure in tight spaces. Nursing homes and cruise ships. Close work environments like assembly lines or meat factories. Public transport for extended periods.

Unfortunately, crowds for hours at a time together seem to be incubating zones. How many church services or religious gatherings have led to outbreaks? Mardi Gras? Airport terminals early on? To me these outbreak environments, and the length of exposures for all, are a telling sign.

Since it's pretty much up to each and every one of us individually to respond, prepare, and forge forward, the more we share about how we prepare and operate in this environment helps. Personally, I avoid mass people areas like Wal Marts and Lowes of the world. Mask and gloves inside any other retail establishment with little loitering. Most retail workers I come across are wearing masks so the very least I can do is return the favor. Baseball batting gloves have been great - keep them under the windshield and spray periodically to disinfect. Great for ATMs and other push button pads, and easy on/off by natural design.

Go Tigers.

May 25, 2020, 3:44 PM

Without a vaccine we either shutter ourselves (all of us) while we wait for a vaccine or get herd immunity. I vote for herd immunity and as long as the hospitals are not overwhelmed the sooner the better - and less people will die in the long run. So personally I am not at all alarmed by increasing cases.

regarding the regular flu. Disease happens, immunity happens even greater. It's life, and it must go on. The assumption is most if not all of the people mentioned in your post just got "sick", as with the common cold, or flu, and recovered.

Coronavirus is not the end of the world, nor is it the zombie apocalypse. This is a real virus. My gut, as well as the statistics, tell me that the response to this virus is about 50% virus and about 50% political.
If the Democrats win the Presidency in November, the response will continue to keep people out of jobs and the economy will crash. It will take a decade for the economy to recover. The deaths will continue and people will eventually be taking a vaccine to limit the deaths greatly.
If the Republicans win the Presidency in November, the response will put people back to work and the economy will slowly come back over the next couple of years. The deaths will continue and people will eventually be taking a vaccine to limit the deaths greatly.
The only difference will be the length of time for the country's economy to recover.
Face it... We have another "Flu" that will be here forever. We are just going to have to deal with it.
