Corona Virus Updates Part 5

It's a way to make telework the new normal, and avoid people in large gatherings at workplaces etc, because then they can tamp down on protests/secret groups easier.
Not to mention the surveillance that goes along with it.
So of course that is 'essential construction'

Ive always been against laws that protect you from injury/death, AS LONG as it isn't harming another person...ie seat belts.
A lot of what you said makes sense, but the thing is, in making that decision for YOURSELF, you can be taking that decision away from someone else who doesn't feel as you do, and could potentially contract it due to your view and not caring. To me it's like a smoker smoking around a non smoker. You make that choice, but you're causing harm to others too. My parents smoking habit led to me having black lungs by the time i was 16....I've never smoked. You can say...well the non smoker can move away....but the non smoker has the right to be there, and is not hurting anyone, so to me the burden should be on the one causing harm in the situation. Bottom line, it's your choice to 'get it over with', but don't take that choice away from others.

That's what really scares me right now, with what we have caught them trying to do... What have we missed during all the chaos.

Well, those of us who have been here since page 1 know that there were several people trying to discuss that 5g could be somehow connected. They were all ridiculed and chased off like they were crazy.

Thats because blaming 5G for Coronavirus is ridiculous.
Can we leave 5G/Reptilians/NWO out of this one thread please ?

I don't think anyones saying that coronavirus is caused by 5G more that the virus is a distraction and keeps people indoors while they quietly install it. I honestly don't know what to think about it. It is quite unual for installing towers to be a priority during this time.

I am not going to get into the whole 5G debate, but I can understand the reasoning behind continuing with the installs.

The majority of kids are now doing schoolwork from home, and require internet access. There are still a lot of areas that do not have access, so I believe they are trying to ramp that up.

What is unusual is that during a 100% lockdown, our local dry cleaners is still open. How can anyone consider that essential?

QVC, the shopping channel has live presenters selling non essential goods.

SOUTH AFRICA UPDATE (Day 5 of Total Lockdown)

1. Total Confirmed Cases: 1353 (+46)
2. Total Deaths: 5 (+2).
3. Total Tested: 41072

News24

Rate of infections not increasing as rapidly as initially expected. Lockdown effective?

I have an exemption to the lockdown as I am an essential services worker, but have not had to use it yet as I have been able to work from home.

While there are detrimental effects from smoking, so do many activities in our lives have potentially life threatening effects, or make you more susceptible to this virus, such as obesity among others.

My fear with this, and the anti smoking push in general, is the continued erosion of our rights and personal choice to someone else's predefined version of the "correct" way to live.

I don't think it's possible nowadays to defend Smoking in general (Not saying you are at all, just making the point

)
I'd stop now, but I usually get a bit of a cough for a few days/weeks after, and sometimes a throat/upper-lung infection.
I don't really feel like getting that right now, what with all that's going on, but i'll be cutting back a bit day by day, having my first smoke later and later in the day.
Eventually, I just hope to get to the point where its so late in the day, i'll just think 'feck it'.
I'd also have to not drink Alcohol for a while, because that brings the urge on like bonkers.

The last two times i quit, i had the straw from a chupachups lolly, that has a hole down the middle.
I can chew on it a bit, and suck it like a ciggy, and it helped with the cravings.
Need to add it to shopping list for next time I go out.

I quit smoking 7 days ago. I'm 43 and smoked for 29 years. I'm hoping should I get this virus maybe I can give my body some time to heal. I'm not coughing or anything and I noticed my heart isn't beating as fast going up and down the stairs. I met an 80 year old man that smoked for 40 years and he was still kicking. My grandmother started smoking when she was 11. She grew up during the great depression on a tobacco farm in Kentucky. She lived to be 75. I always thought maybe I'd get lucky like her. I didn't think a pandemic would kill me. I had cat scans last year and my lungs have scars from when I had pneumonia in 2003. This has the potential to kill 2/3 of my family.

I see that CNN is showing a big banner on the right of the screen showing TOTAL covid-19 cases in the USA and the World.

They should show ACTIVE cases...which is more realistic to the RIGHT NOW.

TOTAL = All cases since Day #1. That number will never go down. It will always go UP, as long as Covid-19 exists. (fyi: H1N1 total cases and death are still increasing too.)

Yeah so what they're showing how many people have been infected so far. My local news stations are doing the same. They also have counters showing how many people have died.

In Detroit right now the Chief of police is infected and 60 cops.

Anyway to get a City list kind of frustrating with only a County list Randolph County Indiana has 3 cases now i would like to know in what Cities they are in .

a reply to: Gargoyle91

County Health Department

Cities not listed, but there is contact information at the site maybe you can find out from someone there.

Pray for Fredo.

Here's NY's updated numbers this morning we were at 67325 now we are at the 75795, deaths are at 1550:

Some more 'street talk' from Southern California and social media. I'm personally hearing/seeing quite a few accounts of people who were sick in Jan/Feb with similar symptoms to covid19 who recovered but not 100% (still felt tired or still had mild cough every once in a while but not constant) and then 3-4 weeks later they got sick again with the same symptoms as if it remained in their system and re-emerged. One account I was just reading on facebook was from a woman in my neighborhood who is high risk so she has been strictly self quarantined for the last 3 weeks and there has been nobody in or out of her home and no deliveries; she's just got sick and is wondering how since there is no recent (3 weeks) opportunity for infection, however she was sick with all of the covid19 symptoms 4 weeks ago and is speculating that it came back rather than she got infected again. I personally know seven people who have said the same thing to me about their own experiences.

I recall several weeks ago some speculation that Covid-19 may be a life long disease. Outbreaks every so often.

I am not sure of any science to back that up, but anecdotal reports of it happening, make me wonder.

Hawaii is providing quite detailed information.

I have been looking for an email I received about the manufacture of the blue mask you see everyone wearing. The video consisted of 8 people sitting in a small dirty room (my guess is Pakistan or India or maybe the Uyghurs in China ) with 5 sewing machines. As the mask are sown they fall to the concrete floor in big piles (surprised it is not dirt) where the other men (no one has shoes on which is probably good) attach the elastic to place around your ears.. I am not saying the mask you have is made this way but.... I would look to see where your mask is made. Sorry I can not post the video as I evidently deleted it. It was an eye opener for me as I always think things like this are created in a more sterile environment. Not the video I was looking for but nevertheless....t.co...

Masks (at least those not used by the public) are sterilized before wearing (washed, UV light.) So... wash your mask before wearing. I do.

Washable masks are the best idea.

So..now U.S. Mainstream Media and authorities BELIEVE CHINA, because the U.S. Death Toll from Covid-19 has exceeded what China has reported.

www.usnews.com...

Sure..might as well believe China's figures now, because it fits the fear-mongering agenda. Right?

"Las Vegas Homeless sleep in Parking Lot, due to Charity Center being Cleaned after Coronavirus Case".

I had seen that... it's just heartbreaking. With our wealth, that's the best we can do when a facility needs cleaning?

Italy reported 4053 new cases and 837 deaths.

Good news though: The curve keeps flattening as the lockdown reaches the day 22.
