    Stupid ≠ uneducated, and educated ≠ smart.

    I know a lot of stupid educated people, and a lot of smart people who never finished the level of school they were capable of doing.

    I see where a lot of states are shutting down events of gatherings of 200-250 people. When are they going to shut down all the Wal Marts; when I went by the Evil Empire this afternoon there had to be 250 people at least judging by all the cars in the car park. Just shutting down the Evil Empire should have a major effect on reducing the number of cases.

    Saw this on FB this afternoon, it makes you wonder....

    Some of you remember I was sick as all get-out for several weeks in January, I just couldn't shake it. It was in my chest. Here is the post I read.....

    "Now for a new twist on Cornona Virus, my Daughter took her Daughter to the Dr today, he said he believes the reason WV isn't having any cases of the Virus is because we have already been hit with it, he believes the Flu that has passed through was the Cornona Virus, because it didn't act like the Flu and took so long for people to get over. He was telling the Cornona Virus started last November / December and it was only brought to the public's attention in the last month. I know I had the Flu and it took almost 4 weeks to get over it and it was like no other Flu I have ever had."

    My sister had an exceptionally bad flu in January. Our family has wondered if it could have been corona before corona was a thing.

    please do not give "them" any ideas, "they" have created enough panic.

    I'm surprised the Dr said that. I would have asked for a test to be run.

    Good lord, does he realize just how many other people could have been infected if that were true? :jaw:

    In past years, I remember sickness that seemed to drag on and on also. But, it was also common to only stay home on the very worst of days. :picard:

    Closing down food dispensaries is incredibly unintelligent. Why not close down the hospitals while you're at it.
    Essential services or stay home and stop contributing to the problem.

    Why is no one hoarding hand soap ?

    Actually, hospitals are a good place where infections can get passed around. At one time doctors would wear a tie that would flop down on a patient. Then the doctor goes to the next patient and that same tie flops down. Not a good idea. My brother worked in hospital and he had some real horror stories to tell. He said that for profit hospitals were the worst. He said to avoid hospital if possible and try to get out of one as quickly as possible if one had to go in for health reasons. As for people dying, my brother told me several stories where doctor incompetence caused the death of patients; one was the simple act of putting in a vent. My brother-in-law died in the same manner; the worthless doctor didn't know how to insert a vent and my brother-in-law died suffocating on his own blood. You are correct, a lot of people die in hospitals that shouldn't have died if they just got proper treatment. One time my brother had a doctor that kept wanting to turn the vent wide open on a patient; he would set the level properly and then come back latter to find it back up again. I think that was one of the patients that ended up dying due to the actions of a doctor.

    I know there is a lot of political BS out there but this virus started in a Chinese lab working on most likely a warfare agent; what better than to develop a virus, develop a vaccine for your troops and people, then unleash the virus on a population; say the US, that you want to take out. Why do you think the Chinese government was throwing people in prison for talking about the virus? You should read some of the horrible experiments the Chinese were doing during WWII. The infection rate seems higher than it really is because the Chinese were not really treating people, not really trying to help people, they were doing fall-out control because they were afraid the truth would get out. Now they are trying to put the blame on the US. It is the Chinese virus, it is the Wuhan virus and we will call it what it is and the political BSers can go f themselves.

    And the reason that most get by with killing patients is because family is grieving too much to take action and then the statute of limitation kicks in. The hospital killed my father by mismedication and by the time we woke up from our grief to sue, it was too late, we couldn't sue the bastard.

    Heard the FMCSA has suspended hours of service regs for the trucking industry who are involved in distribution of medical supplies, equipment, drugs and also those involved in the movement of food and grocery products as well.
