I got the Covid

[Rich B1]

I sure don't like how Covid causes blood clots in the body.

During the 3 weeks I spent in the hospital for Covid, I was on steroids and blood thinners to reduce the chance of clots. It was something the medical people were very concerned with and monitored. Seems it is a very serious side effect.

Unlike MossRoad, I've NEVER known anyone who died of the flu; been pretty sick, but never died. And of course I've known many who had the flu or THOUGHT they had the flu when it was actually just a bad cold.

Yesterday I posted the fact that our grandson has been diagnosed with the Covid. Then later yesterday, my wife's sister called and said their brother, in West Virginia (75 years old) now has the Covid. And while I consider the current Covid situation to be about as serious as it can get, I also have to agree with those who believe the numbers are not really accurate.

I had posted elsewhere on TBN that my former next door neighbor, who would have been 91 in less than a month, and has been in and out of the hospital, and has been in a nursing home for more than a year and a half, died Christmas day. Yesterday evening, I learned from his daughter-in-law (retired RN) that it was recorded as a Covid death.:confused3:

So who is really convinced that they know the numbers are either right or wrong?

Im convinced the numbers are enhanced. I have reliable sources (nurses working in hospitals treating Covid) of deaths caused by accidents that have little or even nothing to do with Covid. Also seniors being sent to elderly homes where they knew they would get Covid and probably die.

I also take the illness seriously and dont want to see anyone die or suffer needlessly.

A person can believe the virus is deadly but at the same time realize the numbers are inflated so hospitals can make more money.

Greed is a powerful motivator for hospitals tempted to take the money. And there are famous, influential people who believe the elderly are a burden on society, so sending them to a home where they KNOW they will be infected and probably die is just culling the herd to them.
Its SICK, but theres a lot of sick people in state governments as we know. We had a home for mentally ill a few towns over from me where patients were abused. It was closed, thank the Lord. But the people running those kinds of abusive facilities are still out there.

Get well Eddie and Mrs. Walker...

"... Where is Walter Cronkite when you need him?..."

Few ever doubted him personally nor his integrity.

Which I believe highlights a root issue contributing to much of the debate in society today.

Many grew up not trusting in the government as a direct result of Vietnam era events.

Over time, many have grown to also no longer trust the historic sources of news and information.

And even more recent, many no longer trust even the scientific community, such as Mr. Fauci, for being unbiased and without motive.

Before anyone dog piles on me, these are observations only. I've no dog in this fight.

So it seems mistrust of the source of data leads to mistrust of the data itself.

The underlying broad-spread mistrust is now a systemic issue, which I believe to be more dangerous than the Covid virus itself.

One kills people, the other kills whole societies.

Maybe soon .........masks all year long.....EVERY year!

That is a very sad thought. I’m not anti mask during this serious situation but the thought of wearing these awful masks after COVID is under control is just depressing.

Up to 80 percent of communication is nonverbal which is greatly reduced when ones face is covered.

I always viewed the media with a decent degree of mistrust. It goes back to many episodes of misleading information. A good example of the consumer news media is when Diane Sawyer did her level best to destroy the GM trucks by feigning a collision with the trucks fuel tank using fireworks as a catalyst.
More recently, A good example with government is we have seen government investigations that are purely political in nature to destroy opponents reputations.

We could all do so much better with trustworthy news sources that help us save and spend better, take better care of our health, etc instead of the latest celebrity gossip or political mud slinging. Its really shameful how these critters peddle wasteful garbage on TV all day. We could be so much better.

Not sure I'm falling for the ''mask prevents droplets from passing from your mouth to others''

Try blowing a candle out while wearing one then. It is amazing what a mask will block and still allow you to breathe.

It is amazing how quickly a well designed and administered plan was able to get the vaccines out in so little time!

I never in a million years thought it could be done

Exactly, No credibility with the media today. Just sensationalism and spin of opinions that probably aren't mine anyway. I don't need to be bottle fed, I'm an adult.

I lost faith in what the news stations were reporting after a story ran, where my wife knew the first hand facts, and was the person who reviewed all the camera footage with the police.

The news station doing the reporting didn't have a bloody clue what they were talking about and every fact on the story was complete and utter nonsense.
