How is the virus affecting you?

If you'd have read the article, you'd have seen that it's about a study going on at Johns Hopkins regarding old dudes that take flomax and other drugs like it and why they seem to be surviving COVID-19 better.

I couldn’t read it. The font was too small. Plus I had to pee...

Shucks they took me off of Flowmax when the eradicated my prostate.
Do I still have that Covid protection?

Wellllll, he does make some noteworthy points.
The most distinguishing factor about this virus is it is VERY contagious and spreads easily, but I believe it’s mortality rate is greatly exaggerated by the newly emerging numbers on those already infected. The models have been awfully inaccurate. The experts have been way off. The projections have been pathetic.
The biggest point is the way that this has become highly politicized to the point of destroying lives to score political points. Many of our politicians have been anything BUT leaders, preferring to take a pretty bad crisis and turning it into an opportunity to add pork and divert funds to pet projects. That is sick.

Probably have enough residual chemicals in ya. Your safe.

Things have taken some strange twists and turns, yesterday I went to work and all the school crossings were operating with the illuminated 40kph school zone signs, crossing supervisors at the crossings and not a child in sight anywhere, a lot of business is still closed but traffic on the freeway was very heavy on my way home, police are issuing a lot of fines for people who don't comply with the isolation rule, $1650 if you want to take a chance, a group of 20 had a party at the weekend and it cost them dearly.
The bottom has fallen out of fuel and I filled up with unleaded 91 for 85c a litre, a couple of weeks ago it was around $1.40, they say it will continue to fall.
Toilet paper is back on the shelves and plentiful and the Chinese (mainly) who stockpiled a few weeks ago are trying to get a refund from the supermarkets and being refused and ebay won't let them list it, sort of poetic justice really, it will keep a lot of relatives in TP for quite a while to come, they are now crying foul even though the supermarkets made it abundantly clear a while ago they would not be refunding.
I went to my Dr last week and was told to stay in my car and they would call me when he was ready for me.
The infection rate is slowing dramatically but I wonder what will happen if they lift the restrictions.

I agree. This virus has created a political division. Sad. Just sad.

I just did Mossy. It seems my Flo-Max has some other impacts besides me wetting my drawers....:laughing:

Potent stuff. I had to have my urologist reduce the dosage a bit, I was making a mess of my jeans on a regular basis....

Of course with all the parts I'm missing now, I'm kind of surprised anything works, but it does. Even got rid of some parts I didn't need like my appendics, that went with my ascending colon... half of my liver and some other stuff.

Tough getting old....

Least I don't take anything but Flo-Max and testosterone now. but I've missed an elective CT scan because of the virus. I feel good, guess that's all that counts in reality.

Why I'll do what I have to do to avoid the virus. Already been to the altar, don't want to visit it again until I absolutely have to.

2 years ago, the prognosis was a 30% survival chance and here I am, a survivor. I thank the Lord everyday and I thank my wife for her fantastic hospitalization plan.

It was not a pleasant journey.

I still look like a field dressed deer but it's getting better every day. Won't win no beauty contests however.

Seed companies are doing exceptionally well this year. Thankfully I got my order in about a week before things started getting crazy, as I only know of one mail order company which is taking orders right now.
Pullets are another thing there's a run on... I suspect that there will be a lot of laying hens for sale this fall, as people realize what a pain it is to try to keep water from freezing.

I have my usual order in; 25 meat chickens, 2 pigs, turkeys, and 8 new pullets.

My cabbage plants are already started in hot trays in the house along with the tomatoes and zucchini. This year will be another Kraut year.:licking:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you and me included. If I don't agree, I don't comment...usually.

Santa Clara County Public Health in California has announced autopsy results showing a patient who died on Feb. 6 had COVID-19 — 23 days before the first novel coronavirus death was declared in the U.S.

So either coronavirus is not as deadly as we think or it’s not as contagious.
