Oh give it up. Corona ceased to be a thing November 3rd.

Yep, it's done. Got an e-mail from the school board that they are re-opening for in-person classes on the inauguration day. It feels like they are rubbing it in.

It is spiking here in IL, but it's the flu. As childish as it sounds we play ping pong with a group of guys each week. Smoke, drink, laugh and compete in a silly game. 3 of the 15 or so of us have it right now (not me). 2 were saying it sucks, but nothing worse than heavy cold or medium flu with the no tase/smell symptom. One is asymptomatic mostly except being tired and some headaches. All are 34-40.

I mean, this is all getting annoying at this point. I've had a flu that put me in the ER because I couldn't eat or drink for two days and passed out cracking my head on the floor. Ambulance ride and all. I think I can handle the Covid symptoms and have taken up some of Rin's advice with OTC supplements along with what I was normally doing since that incident 3 years ago. With a broken heel and crutches I'm actually getting an all day work out and have been feeling great. Part of me also just wants to get it and at least be done with it for this Covid season... because that's what it will be moving forward and there's nothing we can do about it.

Yep Covid is nothing special anymore. Even the few people who have a bad time with it are in better shape now that doctors are actually using proper medications instead of just sticking them on a vent until they die. Doctors have lost so much credibility this year it’s just ridiculous.

It might be the death of me, but I've stopped trusting them since I was 20. I'm not some homeopathic or hippie type, but modern medicine and doctors scare me outside of trauma events. The doctors have only increased life expectancy because less babies die and we're better at treating traumatic events and keeping people alive from it. Imagine Chicago's murder rates without good doctors based on the numbers shot...

Routine medical doctors don't do shit for the money we pay through insurance and deductibles. 95% of people not born with a defect or handicap (diabetes, hole in the heart, etc) are better off NOT seeing doctors in my opinion and getting pumped full of pills. Eat well, stay fit and active and you'll be fine.

Cancer care is a gray area though. They can work. Though they're so fucking expensive that I sometimes wonder if the treatment doesn't match the illness. Basically they do the most, when a medium treatment would have been fine, but they're just trying to make money.

It's not cancer, but I have a broken heel. Somehow my fracture grew over the first month even though I was on crutches, a boot and knee scooter 99% of the time when moving. I swear it was just to get another 2 visits and x-rays out of me because it was easy. Being immobile is life changing during the time you're in that state. So they know they'll get the visits.

There are some things they can do. Good surgeon is worth something, also ENTs clearing ear wax - maybe a good functional doc observing the whole metabolic state and advising on supplements, hormones, nutrition. Orthodontists and dentists - that's probably it ;)

ENTs clearing ear wax


I did that to myself last night. Large plastic syringe of warm soapy water, power it in there and wash it clean as a whistle. Took about two minutes.

I've tried all that and everything with mine, it gets so stuck it needs the dude ;) Maybe I can act sooner, but the ENT said there's not much you can do, even regular hydrogenperoxide doesn't necessarily clear it. I'll try to clean them regularly now. But it's only once a year visits or less, so manageable ;)

For those with difficult earwax, I suppose they could use the Water Pic when the wife is through abusing it. If that is not enough, a 1700 psi pressure washer could do the trick. That would not only remove the wax, but also take out that "ear worm" Safety Dance song. For the pressure washer, be sure not to use the tight nozzle setting or narrow tip, or you may end up clearing both ears at the same time.

I used to have a problem with that I kept getting ear infections that simply itched. You know how I solved it? My dogs had a similar problem, and I once used their medication on myself.

Haven't had a problem since. I forget the name of the medication, but I did look it up, apparently some of it's side effects are possible seizure.

That sounds like you both had ear mites. Not sure that is really possible for humans to get such ear mites, though.

Because Trump mismanaged the epidemic there too!

Almost at 20,000 deaths in Texas alone. Thats about the entire US flu death last year. Thank goodness Nov 3rd came.

You do realize covid is not the cause of death, right?

Highly doubtful.
20   clambo   2020 Nov 6, 5:43pm  

Good, I want to see bodies in the streets. Let’s get those numbers up.

Oh, but the CDC says only 6% of the dead were healthy and 94% had 2+ “co-morbidities” (sick).

Statistically, stairs kill about as many people as Coronavirus. At least there are treatments for the virus, if you fall down the stairs and break your neck you’re dead.

Ah, yet another conspiracy theory to deflect an unpleasant reality. How many conspiracy theories do you subscribe to?



"See! Germany has such low deaths from COVID"

Because they're counting deaths pretty much the same way as the CDC did when they broke off healthy people from the old and sick. They're only counting healthy people with one or none comorbidities as deaths.

Most of the world, inc. us, is counting anybody with COVID markers in them, even if they died of cancer or a heart attack, as COVID deaths

What's so "unpleasant" about some number of mostly asymptomatic "cases"? It makes you feel bad?

I subscribe to no "conspiracy" theories or made up terms. You don't care and won't believe it anyway and I'm not at liberty to risk people's jobs I consider friends. I know what you don't and that is scary. I get it. Keep drinking the kool-aid though. This isn't even about Trump, though I know you want to politicize it. Has zilch to do with politics. You're being fed a bunch of lies and eating it up.

Fascistic tendencies.
26   Onvacation   2020 Nov 7, 8:22am  

Are they going to start arresting paddle boarders again?

People die and masks and locking down healthy people have very little positive effect and awful economic and social effects.

If I were a conspiracy theorist I might think Covid-19 is a worldwide effort to reset the seriously troubled money system and institute a police state to combat "the invisible enemy".
27   WookieMan   2020 Nov 7, 11:11am

So you're saying COVID is a conspiracy and that the virus isn't real?

No one has said that on this site. It's a detectable virus, yes. Can it kill you, yes. Is it deadly to completely healthy people, no. Should we shut down the economy for the old, weak and unhealthy lazy people, no. Given the current spike, do masks work, no. Cases on average have been rising since mask mandates. Is this a new flu bug that will have a mostly ineffective vaccine, yes. These are facts. No conspiracy. Dispute one of these statements.

I gotta say, that graphic is amazing. More minimalist than an icon, and uses the drawing skills of a toddler in Microsoft Paint, but the image portrays an exact emotion and understandable facial expression. That took artistic talent.

Water will accumulate and not flow out of the ears and eventually you either get an ear infection but usually long before you start hearing less and less and having the constant pressure in your ear like when you just got out of the ocean or swimming pool. That's where you know its time ;) I can pay $150 for it every 1-2 years. The ear is fickle and you don't want to mess with it if regular methos fail.
31   Karloff   2020 Nov 7, 7:50pm  

My city is going into complete panic mode about the number of cases as well. Every time there's mention of deaths, it's a small handful and it's folks in their 80's and 90's.

I ask people who bring the number of cases up in conversations how many of these cases:

a) Even show symptoms
b) Have symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization, and then what the age and health of these people were before they caught it

Nobody I've asked knows. These stats aren't provided, apparently. Yet, they are critical in determining risk and response.

This lack of transparency and constant fear-mongering (you can get it twice! you could face life-long, debilitating side-effects!), plus a history of constant lying from media and government, have resulted in my not trusting ANYTHING these people put forward.

I skimmed an article this week (while working) quickly that suggested it has an impact on dementia. So when you're in the old folks home make sure there is a provision in there to keep your ears clean.

Makes sense. You're very old, sensory info to your head jelly isn't what it used to be, then sound gets cut off. Not a good situation.

Bright side is it was apparently at least somewhat recoverable by cleaning the ear holes.

Dr. Birx predicts up to 200,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths 'if we do things almost perfectly'

March 30, 2020, 11:58 AM UTC
By Ben Kesslen
The White House coronavirus response coordinator said Monday that she is "very worried about every city in the United States" and projects 100,000 to 200,000 American deaths as a best case scenario.

She's a cunt even if things were close to perfect. Seasonality has gone out the window. How many people have died from the flu in the last 50 years? Ahhhhhhh, these docs don't want to answer that. Likely millions. Oh well. Let's focus on CV-19 while we let regular flu patients die. lol. This whole thing is hysterical.

In Georgia COVID will last until the day after the runoff election. Got to steal the senate, too.
