THREE TYPES OF WUHAN FLU

[alfsauve]

1)  Those that have had the flu
2)  Those that have the flu
3)  Those who are going to get the flu

I don't wish it on anyone or everyone, but the world has been bamboozled by the dramatics and panic of it all.

While tracing down an article that claims the WHO has stated 10% of the population has/had the flu (which means the fatality rate is ~0.15%) I found this article from the CDC.  NOT Epoch or Heritage or NY Post, but the CDC.

Basically it says there is no proof that face masks and had washing have any effect on the spread of influenzas.

...we did not find evidence to support a protective effect of personal protective measures or environmental measures in reducing influenza transmission. Although these measures have mechanistic support based on our knowledge of how influenza is transmitted from person to person, randomized trials of hand hygiene and face masks have not demonstrated protection against laboratory-confirmed influenza,

True that.

Some of the guys here on the board had chemical/biological training in the service...said all of this was a cruel joke.

When you look at the fatalities they are mostly above 65 years of age.

Time to quit giving these political tolatarians and fascists/communists the time of day.  I read where the county sherriffs in many New York counties were telling Cuomomomo to stuff it...they had more important things to tackle then writing tickets at Thanksgiving dinners.

For PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and hygiene to work, you must know how to use them and do it.  Between my years in Emergency Services and Funeral Service, I have over 40 years of experience using and 25 years teaching proper procedures.  As I move about I see VERY FEW people that even look like their usage helps them.

I am not going to go into a full lesson on how to use these products and protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens, which is what this is, but I will point out the photo in the papers today of Biden holding his mask in his hand while he speaks.  Mr. medical expert has managed to spread all of the contaminants his mask protected him from to his hands and face.

Call me paranoid if you want (Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean that they are not out to get me) but this was ALL advanced by Democrats, Socialists, and China. When this occurs at the same time as a Presidental election where voter fraud is greater than any time in American history I can't help but believe it is indeed part of a "master" plan made to allow the current Democratic "leadership" to "MASTER" the rest of us.

I am honestly shocked that gunfire has not yet erupted and a true (un)civil war started. I fear the citizens of this once great nation have allowed this to go too far and that a return to anything closely resembling the normal I once knew and freedom that we all once knew is long past.

It's up to the people now.
And I have no faith in their courage or determination, or intelligence either.
They will deserve the results.

They will deserve the results.

True, but we don't deserve what they bring upon us.

My wife is one who has always been frustrated by those who see conspiracy and lean toward the tinfoil hat side of the room.  However, after this has been going through our family and she spent four days in the hospital, she is ranting, from time to time, that this isn't natural, and that someone somewhere has released this on us.

She is somewhere between rabid an scared, when she is awake enough to concern herself with anything beyond basic survival.

Just tell her to remember just because someone is paranoid doesn't mean they (whoever "THEY" are) aren't out to get them.

Some are only theories because no one has balls enough to call it treason.

Welcome to Illinois:

The new Tier 3 restrictions aim to limit gatherings and encourage residents to stay home to stop the spread of coronavirus. The entire state entered Tier 3 mitigation Friday at 12:01 a.m.

The new Tier 3 restrictions close gaming and casinos, theaters, banquet halls and event spaces, cultural institutions like museums, prohibit indoor fitness classes and group sporting activities, and call on all workplaces to have as many employees work from home as possible.

Already struggling retailers will be limited to 25% capacity, including big box stores with a grocery section. Traditional grocers are allowed to continue operating at 50% capacity.

"We're kind of going back to March, the way it was, and adding some new things," said Julie Judd, sotre manager of Stockhom Objects.
