When the U.S. sneezes, the world catches a cold. What happens when it has severe COVID-19?

During a blue-sky moment in 2018 near the end of a decade-long economic expansion, it was the United States that helped pull the world along as the extra cash from tax cuts and government spending flowed through domestic and global markets. Officials from Mexico to Japan are already on edge...

The rise in cases among older residents most likely stems from the spread of the virus by young people who are not taking preventive measures like wearing masks, said Dr. Madiha Syed, an infectious-disease specialist who works at University of Florida Health.

'If It's Here, It's Here': America's Retirees Confront the Virus in Florida

THE VILLAGES, Fla. -- For months, many of the residents at one of America's biggest retirement communities went about their lives as if the coronavirus barely existed. They played bridge. They held dances. They went to house parties in souped-up golf cars that looked like miniature Jaguars and...

Masks? Preventative Measures?
F 'em.
Too inconvenient!

Just carry on.................

Standing over a 63-year-old man whose lungs were taking in dangerous amounts of oxygen from a ventilator, Brown ordered medication to paralyze the man in hopes it would fix the problem. But it was one of many. The man had also suffered a severe stroke and blood clots because of the virus.

Down the hall, a nurse pulled a cushion out from under the head of a 39-year-old woman and found it covered with blood. Brown rushed over. He turned to the nurse, who was already on the phone ordering supplies for a transfusion. “Tell them to bring it, like, now,” he said.

Beca

Chit happens when snake oil salespersons and downright charlatans decide to override good, centuries old infectious disease precautions.

How is that among industrial nations ONLY in the US, COVID-19 has become a political issue??

Riddle me that...

simple
It’s called free will
Its also because in lots of the rest of the world
Sheep are either ruled with an iron fist
Or sheep gained power and somehow rike

And in some countries people were not forced into submission and exiled to their homes

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again

the free population of this country will decide what protocols they will follow and when and if they will follow them if at all

This should give everyone an Idea how absolutely F'kd the economy really is.

 

[TonySmjc]

Shhhhh
Most here are in or very near retirement and those that aren’t a financially stable enough that trivial matters like that mean little to nothing.

They are true kool aid drinkers
Hell a few of them even make the kool aid

there’s more conflicting information almost every single aspect of this crap from mask straight through
Thru the actually infection and mortality rate

Nothing I repeat nothing that’s happened so far , could have happened or is likely to happen in the future from this cold was worth the economic , social and educational havoc that’s been done

and I’m beyond pissed at anyone or anything that plays into it

I’m all fairness. A lot of people said a lot of things about this virus. Both political figures, celebrities, and sports figures. Some were right. Most were wrong.

Agreed
But one certain guy had the balls to take drastic measures that seem to have pissed lot of people off but like it or not, have put NY in what appears to be a better place, (at least as far as CV 19 is concerned ) than lots of other places that did little or nothing.....
Bottom line is I'm gonna listen to science. Not blowhards with gut feelings or opinions....

So tell me where we would be in NY if our governor took the same path as leaders of FLA, SC, TX, AZ, etc.
Pretty simple

And out of respect for the general, that's it for politics for me for now

Walmart stands its ground in the War on Masks

Walmart is requiring masks. Georgia is not. What happens at the Walmarts within the Peach State?

www.yahoo.com

GEORGIA — On the literal hottest day of the year, an afternoon when car thermometers hit triple digits and air conditioners across the South whined, a chipper young greeter outside a Wal-Mart in north Georgia welcomed in a steady stream of mask-wearing customers.

Monday marked the first day of Wal-Mart’s nationwide mask decree: no mask, no service. How would that go over in Georgia, a state whose governor has not only shot down mask mandates but filed a lawsuit against them? That was the quest, and it began … quietly.

“Only one person complained,” said the greeter, who sported a Wal-Mart-blue mask. “She stood over there, yelling and carrying on that she shouldn’t have to wear a mask just to do her shopping.”

So what happened?


“She put on a mask and went inside.”

Georgia governor: Masks infringe on businesses’ rights

Americans of all political stripes pretty much agree that it’s unhealthy to sneeze in someone’s face, that it’s impolite to spit in their food. Democrats and Republicans alike wear seat belts and motorcycle helmets. Conservatives and liberals both stop at red lights to allow others to pass through intersections.

But somehow, in the midst of the worst health crisis any of us have ever seen, we’ve gone and politicized mask wearing, transforming what ought to be a basic health issue — don’t get sick, don’t get others sick — into some sort of strangely-reasoned referendum on government tyranny and constitutional rights.
