    When we get a vacine or when we all act responsible when out with the public.  Some countries have been able to vertually  eliminate the virus when their citizens act responsibly,

    did they really act responsibly or is it because they are not 300lbs and ride a subway for 2 hours everyday while drinking a 20oz mountain dew?

    What are you personally looking for in these numbers? I'm curious. 

    If ND did 5000 tests today and 157 came back positive what would that do for you other than pointing out like Forum Communications that the 157 positives is a new single day high in the state?

    exactly...if ND did 5000 common flu tests and 157 came back positive what would/should we do?  Unlikethe rona where people probably are staying home for 2 weeks i can bet that half of those 157 are probably still going to work because "it's just the flu".

    Possibly. Or it's an indicator the lockdowns are having a significantly negative effect on public health. Probably a combination. 

    talked to someone that works at altru on friday...she says altru is full of "sick" people..non-rona sick people ...wonder why

    You do realize the CDC has made clear that they haven't changed how they classify deaths right? But yeah sure they are doing this to pad the covid numbers, under Trump!

     

    hurricane in puerto rico..."well that went better than expected...only 67 people die....I'll call Washington and thank President Obama..Wait!!!!! he's not president anymore....when you call trump make sure it's 67,000 people!"

    yeah..politics.

    If 80 percent of people are going to get this, at what point do you just let nature take it's course and get herd immunity.   Even if people wear masks all the time, it can spread from someone touching something.   With all the precautions we have taken to protect the vulnerable and all of the measures taken in assisted living facilities, we still have 70 percent of deaths coming from those facilities, so why is that?    Perhaps all the measures taken don't work, including masks.  What if there was a study that said wearing masks is making you more vulnerable for a second wave of this and the flu in the fall because people need to be exposed to germs to keep their immune system in tact.  I guarantee that my immune system would not be near as good as it was a few months ago when I was going to the gym, thus eating better and getting out of the house.   Add to the fact that so many people are so stressed about getting this, which only adds to immunity issues. 

    well said...you starve your immune system right now of the "good" germs who know what happens later this fall or winter...

    Is wearing a mask inside a place of business really that big of a deal; especially considering it’s only a temporary inconvenience?

    Almost every store requires patrons to wear a shirt and shoes (for health reasons).  I don’t see anyone complaining about that.

    Seems to me, the refusal to wear a mask is a political statement more so than a decision guided by health risk.  

    the reason most people refuse to wear a mask is bc the numbers aren't matching up to reality...

    For now it's your choice. 

    If you are in Grand Forks and shop at Hugo's, they are asking you to wear a mask. If you really disagree with that request, buy your groceries from somewhere else.

    hey rednecksioux...what model of car do you drive and what's your license plate number...i see you going 1mph over the speed limit i'm gonna go full karen on you for being so damn selfish.

    Circling back to my point about the media maybe doing their part to keep people calmer though this tough time - here is a member of the blue check mark loser brigade that happens to have 232,000 followers:

     

    A viewing of her posts doesn't take long to figure out her intentions with all this, at least politically.  

     

    the guy that did the interview with the heraldo talking about people not staying at hotels....did he not know that wearing that mask for that photo would set him and his business back another two weeks?

    He was playing his Freshman recruit a lot.  He had guys with more talent in the bench.  It felt like he wanted them gone, but if he played them and they demo’ed talent, he would be challenged to keep them in the program. Very weird deal, how he treated previous recruits.

    keyword his...when a coaching change happens there is always a roster turnover bc the new coach might stress d over o, size over speed, and whatnot.

    Current ND numbers:

    Ages 1-39: 660 known cases, 0 deaths.

    Ages 40-69: 424 known cases, 3 deaths (.7% mortality rate, although may prove to be significantly lower once antibody tests show true infection rate).

    Ages 70-plus: 107 known cases, 22 deaths (20.6% mortality rate).

    two more weeks!
