Covid19 PSA

Finally, something worth responding to...


Maybe I can get those flatslides back for free, the question is do is still have your address...

 

No Agenda here. Just pointing out the fact that we arent testing to the level of other countries. Thats a fact.

 

I would argue that we can be confident they’re not.

 

You might just get a +P hollowpoint for your trouble.

That or I might feed you beer and make you help me get the other bike up and running...

 

Perhaps my "essentially" was taken out of context. Yes, it has been longer than that.

But if you look at the numbers over the last week, it has grown substantially daily. As more people have been infected, there are more carriers; of course everyone doesn't get sick...but with more people having it in total, you will ultimately get more sick ones.

If you look at how many people actually don't get sick (so will likely never be tested) vs how many confirmed cases they are, it is scary to think how many people are actually carrying (and spreading) the virus. Those numbers will never be known. But if only 2-3 people out of every 10 actually get sick enough to go to the hospital and get tested, and we have 3000+ confirmed cases, it is scary to think how many people actually have it.

That's why I said what I did in the other thread. This virus actually isn't lethal enough. Ebola had a much shorter incubation period, within a few days you were fucked up. Ebola also had a very short half-life and couldn't live on inanimate objects as long as Covid-19.

When you figure this virus can live for hours on inanimate objects, rarely actually kills the host, and a lot of the times doesn't even make the host sick...and can be transferred while the host asymptomatic, when it comes to being able to spread itself to as many people as possible, we might be looking at the perfect virus.

 

Post #591...

 

Is CV-19 a hoax?...no. It isn't the end of the world either. It's just one of a million different virus strains. Is this type of response what we're going to go through every year from now on? Maybe the best that will come out of it is a better sense of personal hygene and maybe they will clean the airplanes better but I doubt it. So, I call BS on this hysteria. The only thing on the news is CV-19, meanwhile the Chinese, the Russians, the NoK's and the Iranians are up to their usual tricks while we are washing our hands raw.

 

Aaaaand...when the widespread testing becomes commonplace here and we discover this unbeknownst trove of C-19+ people, will our fatality rate;

Increase

Or

Decrease?

It’s a disease. It’s virulent. It’s deadly to the infirm.

Just like seasonal flu.

Just like H1N1.

We didn’t try to stop the earth turning on its axis or implement martial law over H1N1, and doing so over C-19 will not decrease the infection rate or fatality rate.

 

That’s cuz no one eats the shit they serve on airplanes

 

I think that it is almost impossible to believe that this is a hoax and it makes sense to take precautions. Rescheduling large events is not a bad thing. I think where alot of people have issues is how the media is inciting panic and all of the stupid motherfuckers that are doing their last minute hoarding and emptying every shelf in every supermarket. Right now the panic and hoarding are causing more of a problem than the virus itself. Stay away from crowds so the first thing those idiots did was jam themselves nose to tail in supermarkets...

We are now having to go thru screening both to and from Prudhoe Bay. As of right now it is just some questions, temporal scanner and making sure there are no visual signs. They started with "any cough" and promptly realized that 50% of their workforce is smokers that cough all year round so they backed off on that. One of my field guys is probably going to get trapped in Norway because airports and ports are being shut down on Monday and he will not be able to get off the rig in time. That being said, there are way worse places to be trapped than Norway. I just hope airports are not shut a week from now because there are way better places to be trapped than Prudhoe Bay. Like almost anywhere except the stan and geria countries.

 

I have always wiped down my area on planes. Primarily because alot of people are slobs and they disgust me...

Strangely this social distancing thing is not much of a challenge for me. I do not like it when people get within 6 feet of me during a normal conversation, let alone now.
