Find us one of those tricky picture math puzzles and I’ll do that free.

I used to do the ones in the newspaper all the time then as time wore on I fell out of practice.  It was a great way to make money back in the clubhouse if I lost my golf bets that day.  Especially newbies who hadn't fallen prey to it before.

Well if you really want to know, it's 24 because there are twelve 22nds also.

Wait:  twelve times twenty seconds equals two hundred and forty seconds.  Plus twelve seconds gives a total of two hundred fifty two seconds in a year.

.......But what I hope I can make you understand is, this is DIFFERENT than anything medical we've ever had to deal with......

 

.....Your peanut butter analogy makes absolutely no sense.  Peanut butter is not contagious.  You can't be a peanut butter carrier and pass the allergy on to someone else......

Actually  no, this is something we have dealt with.  2009 H1N1 virus infected 60.8 million(CDC numbers). Of course the spanish flu as well as others.  

Do you know anyone with a severe peanut allergy?  Its actually far more serious than Covid.  You could eat some peanuts, go into a room hours later and they could have an anaphylactic reaction, so actually its a very good analogy.

I wear a mask when required, but being I live where I do, I am able to stay the mandated 6ft away 90% of the time, which of course does not even matter since I have had the virus.

While peanut allergies are serious, it doesn't affect everyone, only those who are affected by the allergy.  This virus has no prejudice on who it infects.

The big difference between H1N1 and COVID19 is with H1N1 when you got it you knew it, and the incubation period was much shorter so they could quarantine those infected much easier.  Someone with COVID could walk around asymptomatic or with mild symptoms and never know they are spreading it anyone they come in contact with.  H1N1 killed ~500k people in a year compared to 2.2mill+ with COVID in 10 months.  H1N1 mainly affected younger people also, where this affects everyone (to different degrees)

I found this really nice article about clamydia...... You might want to read up on it if your pecker is sore (And do what you will with the messenger).https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chlamydia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355349
