Anyone remember life outside of covid 19?

[Remodeling Maidiac]

This minute by minute update on EVERY FUCKING tv channel and radio station is tiresome to say the least.
Getting ANY news beyond the weather seems an impossibility at this point.
I get that things are bad in some areas. I get that people are succumbing to this terrible virus. I get that the worst is yet to come.
I ALSO get that life continues for 99.something percent of the rest of us.
Hearing the SAME DAMN SHIT minute by minute does not change the circumstances of our lives in the least.
I get that the all caps breaking news banner of IMPENDING DOOM gets ratings but I for one am sick of it. We don't need repeated updates every ten damn minutes of the same shit they just told us 10 minutes ago. We don't need new "experts" telling us the same shit just worded slightly different every 10 minutes.
If your goal it to depress your population with constant doom and gloom then you're doing a bang up job. You have effectively convinced many of our customers/friends/family that we're all screwed and that life as we know it is over......except it isn't.
Humans adapt. Humans cope. Humans have the fortitude to get through the hard times despite the so called odds.

Obviously this situation demands coverage and action. What it does not require is the 24/7 drumbeat of death.

Frankly, I miss the 80's more today than ever before. I yearn for the pre-cellphone, pre-internet days when a person could tell another person about some subject or topic without that other person googling what they just heard. So yes, I remember life before this apocalyptic bullshit, and I miss it . . .

The 80s sucked. I missed the 1970s, when life was fine, stuff was cheap, cars were fast, gas was great, girls were cool, sex was free, drugs were plentiful and cheap, men were men, kids could be kids, no one ever heard of zero tolerance and everyone got a 2nd and 3rd chance.

I miss the 80's too as well as the 90s too. To me, both decades had the best TV shows.

God bless you always!!!

In the Before Time, I remember seeing people outside. Seeing people shopping and going to the gym.

But that was in the Before Time.

 

[Sandy Shanks]

FoX News briefly showed the graph on "Bill Hemmer Reports" today. Hemmer spent about ten seconds telling us that 48 states have Covid-19 under control while New York and New Jersey are an aberration. Then he resumed doing what all the networks and the Trump White House are doing, trying to scare the pants off of all Americans. He reported that the Dow fell another 1,000 points today. Is anyone surprised?

He did not mentioned Dr. Birx's assessment that is the sick and elderly that are dying. He went back to the horror stories coming out of New York, New Orleans, and Detroit while ignoring the rest of the country. He stressed the growing number of cases, but never mentioned the death rate in 95% of country.

Hemmer is only doing what the other networks and the Trump White House are doing.

The graph shows the real story. Brix presented the same data, but with each of the 50 states. The intent was to show how New York and New Jersey stand out. The graph can be seen here.https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...merican-lives/

Scroll down to the graph entitled "Cumulative Data per 100,000: All States." The graph shows that 48 states after three months appear to have Covid-19 under control.

This link also shows most of the country has this virus under control. United States Coronavirus: 214,836 Cases and 5,099 Deaths - Worldometer

Go to the graph showing the number of deaths. Eliminating the N.Y. metro area (N.Y. & N.J.), New Orleans (La), and Detroit (Mi), and it shows the normal death rate for the common cold among the elderly with underlying conditions. For example, California, the largest state in population, has 207 deaths in three months. The death toll in the graph is a cumulative figure over a period of three months.

Yesterday, Dr. Birx also told us that, while the young do get infected, they recover. She said that the mortality rate "increases with age and preexisting medical conditions."

That is why, when the media tries to scare us with increasing cases of the coronavirus, that figure is unimportant. The important factor is the death rate, the true measure of the lethality of a virus. Millions catch the common cold every winter.

Ya, i remember it also glorious days. You would see people talking, I know this sounds strange but they would talk to the person right in front of them and they would even look at them and there was no box in thier hand.

I remember ! Every paper and web racket in the AM was Holohoax, IsNtReal, Palnotmine, Swastika found on.....
I wonder what post Corona will be ?
OH yeah. There isn't a post C.

If you stay away from the news... my life hasn't changed noticeably. I'm still going to work every day and doing most of what I was doing before ... basically drinking and Internet porn.

So, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

Ultimately, for me, COVID19 is like Xmas. Everyone seems to be talking about it but it doesn't affect me one way or the other.
