Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

[Swansong]

I'm sure there are some people that contract influenza (the real thing, not the dumb catch all phrase) and only have symptoms for a day or so, but those people are super rare.



Also, dxmnkd316 - pretty much everyone here calls anything approaching a cold "cold" or "flu" interchangeably.

I figured it was an east coast thing.

Mayor Duggan made his first major mistake in two terms today. Not sure what he's thinking declining Detroit's allotment of the J&J jab, but this is no time to be trying to thread the needle of appeasing vaccine skeptics in the black community.

I am pretty sure a doctor flat out told me there is no such thing as a 24 hour flu. You either had a cold or food poisoning of some kind...

“stomach flu” drives me nuts. Flu is a respiratory virus, vomiting alone is something else.

gastroenteritis is not the flu...

That's what we're all saying :-)

His stated reason was the technical efficacy of the J&J version- so I wonder if he still sees Detroit as a major hot spot, and may also see that people are tired of masking and distancing- so he needs the top version he could get. Not sure, but I was kind of giving him the benefit of the doubt- I would be interested to hear from community organizers of what they think.

Obesity a driving factor in COVID-19 deaths, global report finds


https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...source=twitter

The majority of global COVID-19 deaths have been in countries where many people are obese, with coronavirus fatality rates 10 times higher in nations where at least 50% of adults are overweight, a global study found on Thursday.


But the healthy people that won't pretend to play sick indefinitely are clearly the problem.

Jeb must be posting just for me. As I am probably the only person who hasn't ignored them yet. Not a great strategy, as I *love* staying home and social distancing. I'd do that even if we weren't in a pandemic. So, I am not sure what they are trying to convince me of.

We are, too. And will probably avoid going to states that are not for a long time. Have plenty of places to see and visit in states that have done a good job trying to take care of their citizens.

Trying? Do results matter or just virtue?

Do you mean trying like stuffing a vent down someone throat and over sedating them like they were last Spring? What a horrendous and awful strategy that was.

Or do you mean trying like isolating sick/elderly from human contact and putting them in solitary living situations in their final stages of life? What a horrendous and awful strategy that was.

[Jeb2020]

All easily verifiable.

Well, that and genetics

Well, that and genetics

When it comes to obesity & weight in the US, the US doesn't have a "genetics" problem. It has a diet problem.

40+% of Americans are not obese because of genetics. 60+% of adults are not overweight because of genetics.


Far to many people eat a sugar laden, highly processed diet and there are consequences to that.


But don't worry, the CovidCircuit experts have your back. With conflicts of interest galore and your well being in mind, they are trying their best to ensure your health is nothing but the best.
