Originally posted by WeAreNDHockey View PostThere might not be anybody left alive in Wisconsin by Thanksgiving to travel out of state. The numbers here are eye-popping, scary and sad. Rolling 7 day average of 4000 cases a day and a 24.5% positivity rate, plus 28 dead daily and more people hospitalized than at any other time during the pandemic. Ohio, with twice the population of Wisconsin is seeing rolling averages of 2800 cases and 13 dying daily.
I wear a mask, avoid unneeded trips, stay completely away from large indoor crowds and physically distance myself when I was around others and I still have COVID-19 So some people say "see, even if it isn't a hoax, what are you gonna do?" Well, you're a stunningly stupid idiot if that's your takeaway. The problem is so many other people did not do what I and others knew to do. The ONLY reason this is as bad as it is (and it is going to get much, much worse between now and the end of the year) is because 20-30% of people won't do the right thing. In some places, like Wisconsin, that number is closer to 50%. We are fvcked, but not because we CAN'T do anything. It is because a large enough minority of the people in this country WON'T do anything.
I'd like to start a group, modeled after the Westboro Baptist church, and protest at funerals of COVID-19 deniers who end up dying of COVID-19. They need to know they got exactly what they deserved.

I think people have a tough time seeing how great their lives are, already. And that taking a year off of that 1) isn't that hard, and 2) will help you appreciate what you do really have. I've posted this before, but we've had such a blessed life that taking a year (or whatever) off of doing that isn't the worst thing in the world. And this applies especially to the ones that have long traditions. Even more so the ones with long traditions that they so very much hate participating in. Seems like a great excuse to not do something one loathes so much.
The people I do feel for are the ones who had plans for real once in a lifetime thing to do. Hopefully, it's something that can be postponed- but there are a lot of people who can only do specific things once, and even that is a stretch. For their sake, I really want to see this end ASAP so that they don't have some terrible thing hanging over their heads while doing the special event.
oh well

I am sure the Virus will call it quits when everyone, 330+ Million people all take a year off. Holy sh*t can you hear how stupid you sound? Or at least how impractical?Last edited by Jeb2020; 10-26-2020, 10:18 PM.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead will miss the remainder of the 2020 with COVID-19 complications.
It's a scary situation, one that's landed him in the hospital twice already. Ruling him out this far in advance is ominous and a reminder of how the virus can affect even the best athletes. This is the biggest scare among NFL players to date. Armstead was placed on the COVID-19 list on August 2nd.

Just catching up after putting myself in a corner for awhile (which, from the above post, looks to have done no good). Saw you tested positive. Hope all is going as well as it can. Thinking of you.
I am OK, extremely mild symptoms. The most striking was the complete loss of smell and taste for about a week, but those senses reactivated over the weekend. Two co-workers also are dealing with it and both had much more significant symptoms. One is back to work today, feeling better and testing negative, the other is still out after 2+ weeks sicker than a dog, lost 25 pounds. That one also is fortunately feeling better, but still resting while getting strength back.
So far I feel like I dodged a bullet and feel grateful to have been spared what so many others were not.

I'm queer. You know this. Federally, I didn't have the right to get married until 2015. My status in the LGBT community wasn't federally protected until 2020.
But please, tell me how wearing a mask in Target for 30 minutes makes you so oppressed. Stay strong, patriot.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01
