If not referring to me, carry on.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Another poster: You are assuming that their [China] own people won't rise up and make a change.
Me: They tried, and that's when China created the virus, to shut down the protests! It just kinda got outta hand.
KIDDING. DO NOT TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY. THAT WAS A DARK HUMOR JOKE.
This is my exact post/reaction. Just to make it clear.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostYOu know, I was thinking about how this COVID-19 battle is playing out and it struck me in a conversation with a friend last night, these doctors and nurses are doing more than anyone has ever done for our country.
We know the grim statistics on COVID. It's very infectious. 50-100% more contagious than influenza. But it also hides in your system for up to two weeks. You can't know if you've caught it and are already contagious. Symptoms progress fairly slowly and significantly overlap with other common seasonal RSVs. Many people who get it describe it as the most sick they've ever been. It takes weeks to recover. 10-25% are hospitalized. 2-6% are put in the ICU requiring invasive ventilation, which can cause injuries itself. Depending on an infinite number of factors, the overall CFR of 1-4%.
These doctors and nurses are going into battle without adequate PPE. They are risking their lives every day knowing the statistics and seeing every day what their future might hold.
I can’t remember who made the point to me a couple of weeks ago that hospital workers (whatever their equipment shortfalls) go into a situation prepared/trained for the potential for communicable disease. Police don’t, at least not typically.

But something else struck me that makes what they're doing particularly courageous. More so than the police and even soldiers, who receive such patriotic adoration in this country. Deservedly so. None of them are risking their families' lives by going into battle or responding to a call. They don't have to worry about putting their wife on the battlefield or having their kids in the car when they get a call for a robbery. These doctors and nurses are doing just that. With something they can't see and don't know if they have it. They're wearing garbage bags and handkerchiefs knowing it's entirely inadequate and likely exposing them. They could die from this, 50 plus already have in Italy. But they're also risking their families lives. But they go in, sacrifice their bodies every day to the point of collapse. Pictures of doctors and nurses who have worn their faces raw, bleeding, from PPE having to wear it for such prolonged periods.
That is some next level courage there.
We put up grand monuments to our soldiers who went into battle and died. Maybe it's time to put one up for those who went in and died for the nation on our own soil.

Fine by me he is handing Michigan to Biden...
The worst part about this is how Trump is treating this as 50 separate countries he has to help, not all part of America. Like, they're not even Americans. And if you want help, you need to come begging to me and kiss my ***. Like its The Apprentice, and the states are all contestants, battling each other to come up with the winning plan.
It's truly disgusting is what it is. Be proud, Republicans. Killing Americans to own the libs.
And without that leadership from the top down, there's no central knowledge base to refer to, each state on their own is going through the exact same steps, one by one, figuring out the most effective methods and implementing them. And once one does figure it out, the virus pops up in the next state, and that state starts the process all over again, wasting valuable time and resources until they figure it out too.Last edited by rufus; 03-27-2020, 07:42 PM.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

The wage gap isn’t real. It’s just that men tend to go for higher paying jobs like doctor, engineer, and CEO while women tend to go for lower paying jobs such as woman doctor, woman engineer, and woman CEO
