Italy back in lockdown!!!

[GodsGrace]

Now I don't know if that's the world or just McRae-Helena Georgia.

It can't be McRae !!
I can think of 4 deaths here by me.
Not bad...but it's like you said..we in the mountains are more protected.

I know someone who died from pneumonia many years ago, they had a very extremely weak immune system from having the underlying condition of accute lymphoblastic leukemia.

What did they die of, fast moving and aggressive cancer, or, pneumonia caused by a virus/cold/flu.

Right.
That's the question.

 

[stovebolts]

OK. This would make sense. I don't see any figures here...that's part of the problem.
I know two men that died of covid just this week.
4 so far....one had complications from an existing condition.
One was only 60 years old.

I’m sorry to hear that. COVID is such an odd virus. Reminds me of Russian rulett.

 

[stovebolts]

245,000 - 640,000
That's the range for flu deaths yearly

I’m guessing that’s globally. Where did you get those numbers from?

Here is what the CDC reported for 2018-2019.

. We estimate, overall, there were 490,600 hospitalizations and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 season.

Estimated Flu-Related Illnesses, Medical visits, Hospitalizations, and Deaths in the United States — 2018–2019 Flu Season | CDC

CDC calculates estimates of disease burden in the United States using surveillance data and modeling to adjust for sources of under-detection. Burden estimates for the 2018-2019 season found here.

34k is a far cry from the Covid numbers.

My friend had to isolate and quarentine in hospital, and wear a mask if anyone was around for her safety because she had a very weak immune system caused by a underlying illness.

I had no underlying health condition that cpuld make me more vulnerable to such things as cold/flu/virus so i did not have to isolate and quarentine or wear a mask.

You got the virus?

People here have to quarantine for 14 days and are requested to keep away from their immediate family. Not all can.

No i dont have a virus not sure why you asked that. If i feel sick i stay home or go see the doctor, if not im happy to get on with my daily life. The normal practice.

It was over 20 years ago im talking about. When only sick people isolated and quarentined.

Florida going nuts with new curfew
So much crime and people arrested with guns, etc..
Now they are denying the curfew
Chaos abounds!
It's not college students anymore.
It's people in their late 20's and 30's coming down because their states are so cooped up.

How does imposing a curfew protect anyone from Covid-19? I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Social distancing. Stopping people going out at night socialising as if the darkness is protecting them from infection. I think it's valid.

But they are okay socializing before the curfew? That's the confusing part.

just don't ,the bureaucrat logic will break and crush your soul if ponder it too much .

army logic ,

keep 6 ft and wear masks
come Jan 6th ,
frago close ranks ,at close interval (shoulder to shoulder )masks ,don't have to wear as you can't wear them in a riot control mask ,and no it doesn't protect you .

all of which was not needed imho,yes I,get the reaction but the steps of buildings and the roads could allow some spacing

Sorry didn't read that.
Social distancing at all times. Actually my wife and I wore masks at home. Only two of us.

[daninthelionsden]

In order to protect us from ourselves, they must beat it into us? If you put your ears close to the tracks, You can hear the tyranny train a comin'.

I don't think its a Covid curfew. Calling it a Covid curfew is in my opinion a spin on the truth. I saw pictures of mobs in the street dancing on other peoples cars and utter chaos on the streets. Honestly, last summer unleashed a national wave of unrest and disrespect for order with all of the riots and protests around our country. I think our youth is simply out of control.
