There are dozens of sign vandalism on camera around here.  Some vandals were even recognized and called out on the Nextdoor app.  They were promptly deleted.  My cul de sac is heavily covered in cameras.  I even put one on my bird bath out back  😁

I apologize, my inbox says it is 210% full!  Something must've changed with the last upgrade, guess I have to get busy deleting stuff.  I'll PM it to you if Mitch hasn't already.

I for one am so tired of all of this...

I'll tell you one thing and that's I don't trust any statistic or numbers I hear from either side. Much less from the government.  Both sides have agendas and are using a new virus as a political tool. I'll share some of my observations and take it or leave it, doesn't ultimately matter to me.

My nephews a paramedic, and his wife's a surgical transplant nurse who does organ donor harvesting.  What I can say is that they both have seen and tried reporting an alarming number of deaths due to covid on death certificates that should not be.  Get hit by a car - died of covid, fell off a cliff - died of covid, succumbed to cancer - died of covid.  There take on it is that hospitals get their covid kick back money so there is money to be made here in marking a death as covid...

Again a small sampling size, but you're pulling the wool over your eyes if you do not believe this pandemic is being monetized and used for nefarious purposes.

I know a dozen people who have had Covid so far.  Only one has been hospitalized but has recovered fully thank God.  The other 11 were all sick for 2-4 days and were over it without a trip to the ER and said just a weird cold with mild fever. Ages were from 12 to 64.  Weired that most other family members never got it either.

My youngest was tested without my permission when she was in for a sinus infection... wife had mandatory testing before her surgery... oldest daughter was quarantined from school but never had it... 

I believe fully Covid is capable of killing healthy people.  Have no doubt about that,  but there's a bunch of other crap out there that's just as capable and even more likely to kill you.

If you're at higher risks like some of my own family then yes you should isolate and take extra care.  I for one will go on about my life. 

My last trip we had 19 middle aged adults go to Mexico... 4 airplanes, multiple buses and charters, hardly zero social distancing at a pretty packed resort, and not a single one of us came back sick... but you'd think I was out there killing people and being reckless, and endangering others with my freedom though. Wife took the brunt of it as I thankfully do not social media.

If your masks work so well then what's the worry, and yes I do wear masks when appropriate.  I just trust in my maker and my own personal hygiene to keep me safe and hope I don't fall into that .06% chance of having adverse possibly deadly reaction to a new bug.

Just so much misinformation being spread, and I still am amazed with the entire planet's medical community working on this there is not a way to determine through genetic marking what makes this deadly for some, and a mild cold for others... we still know very little apparently on even transmission rates, or on the flip side someone just doesn't want to tell us the truth.

My only dog in this fight is myself.   I support neither political party and just miss my fishing buddies and times of normalcy.

I truly hope you all stay safe and please dont take anything personally here, just me ranting on my observations of this crazy world we're living in,  and I hope sometime soon I get to get back to hanging out with some of ya.  

Oh and Rick to keep your thread somewhat on path I think the booze will likely kill that Corona before it will get ya .  Hope to see you soon buddy on the White.

Are you saying they did report it as Covid or tried?   Your statement is a little cornfusing

I think what he is saying is the hospital is putting more deaths than they should because they get paid more for covid.

[JestersHK]

Correct,  hospital was saying covid on death certificates when clearly it was not.  They tried reporting it but went nowhere...
