just when you thought you knew what stupid was

[CalG]

I live in a county of 10k. We have had 7 cases and no deaths due to Covid-19.

Most people here are complying with mask directives but there is little acceptance of their efficacy. But most of are dumb hillbillies.

If this virus is as infectious and deadly as reported, why are the numbers not showing it. After this many months, my little pea brain figures at least 25% of the country should be infected.

I suspect we will keep using masks, but if our idiot governor puts us on lock down again, people here will ignore it.

I still have not encountered ANYONE that has contracted the virus, suffered illness from this virus or perished from this virus. I don't live in a cave either.

I do know OF two brothers that died WITH the virus. One a heart patient, the other a long history or respiratory difficulty. Both drinkers, smokers, and carried excess tonnage.
I was not alarmed to hear that they passed, but being brothers, it was a loss felt widely in our region. I did not know them on sight. Only heard of them. Friend of a friend.

I'm not sure why I should run scared and "take precautions. No one around has the illness.

Different strokes for different folks has never been so meaningful.

Moss. At least they Didn't call you a f- head!

Sometimes I wish I had done things different. These people (Teklogix) that I worked for only five years afte their founding, went far. I could have too. They would have done much for me. But, I feel , it just wasn't my life path.

I've been called worse.

But they refuse to accept that they could also be wrong today."

Don, Don, Don....

Sorry, couldn't resist. I've typo'd a bunch as well. :laughing:

No problem MR. We hillbillies get accused of being a little behind....but getting a little behind is a good thing when we finish with a happy ending. If you get my drift...LOL.

Talk about thread drift.....

One time I was out in my yard digging a hole. It was hot and I was in overalls and filthy. Work called with an emergency and I dropped my shovel and drove right in on my day off to resolve it. I'm in the Ad Services Department working on their UNIX system and typesetters and this same boss walks by and gives me a dirty look. I resolve the problem, they make deadline, and I go home. The next business day for me, he calls me in his office and tells me if he ever sees me in the building looking like a ditch digger, he's gonna fire me.... :laughing:

So I explain to him that I was, in fact, digging a ditch and figured he'd want me to come in ASAP to resolve the problem VS stopping to take a shower and change my clothes. Is it OK if I'm late next time? Then he starts trying to tell me that I shouldn't be digging ditches on my day off if I'm on call and might have to come in, bla bla bla....

It's that kind of stuff that makes you want to punch someone in the face, quit, walk out, etc...

Maybe we're all stupided out! :laughing:

Have a good evening. I'm wiped. Put up 12 roof trusses and 18 sheets of OSB yesterday on the garage addition, walked quite a bit of stairs at work today, then came home and shot nails for 2 hours. :confused2:

I don't listen to the dead people. They lie....

.. If this virus is as infectious and deadly as reported, why are the numbers not showing it. After this many months, ... at least 25% of the country should be infected.

Most people here are complying with mask directives but there is little acceptance of their efficacy.

This virus is not equally distributed in any area/region, it's transmitted from person to person to person like Zika, Ebola, SARS, AIDS, etc vs 'just everywhere' like news of it.

I pray that piney, Don, CalG, IT, others won't have to fear C-19 coming to their communities, and I doubt we'll ever quantify the value of masks and lock-downs while or after we wait this out.
