If Memorial weekend has shown us anything it is people are over this social distancing/stay at home order stuff. The news was pushing doom and gloom this morning.
A couple of things the flu has taught us:
1. You can't trust anyone for factual information. CDC, any news channel, elected officials, etc. They all have an agenda and manipulate numbers to their benefit.
2. People are lemmings. It truly amazes me that the average person is not capable of thought that does not originate in their belly or below their waist.
I never thought Alabama would have much of an issue as this state is spread out population wise and it's hot here for most of the year. Now it's the new hot spot.If Memorial weekend has shown us anything it is people are over this social distancing/stay at home order stuff. The news was pushing doom and gloom this morning.
I'm long over it. I gave an out of state hiker from New York a lift this morning. He was nice enough to ask if he needed a mask and I declined. We crossed paths on the trail with two guys from Baltimore that were easily in their 70's. People have grown tired of this.If Memorial weekend has shown us anything it is people are over this social distancing/stay at home order stuff. The news was pushing doom and gloom this morning.
So, the hundreds of doctors who are treating it daily that’s reported on it meanS nothing? But, a government advisor setting in an office does?Bingo ^ @307
Also interesting that no one talks to people that have treated COVID19 patients in the ICU before arriving to these thoughts.
I'm not surprised with the direction this thread has trended, but as an RN I have a very different perspective. And even though I'm 31 and healthy, I REALLY don't want to get COVID19
There has been plenty of epidemiologists reporting on this that don’t share Faucci’s opinion. But, every time they have, they’ve been bombarded for not sharing his sentiments.Yes, an epidemiologist has a far better handle on this in data gathering, analysis and interpretation than a primary care doctor on the front lines. Very different areas of expertise.
Likewise, I'll take the primary care doc over an epidemiologist to manage my n=1 case should the need arise.
