And that is good, because many on here seem like they live only through gloom and doom.
There are a lot of "experts" on here and it seems that there is only one or two that support FACTUAL statements with real facts to back them up. Other than that, all I hear is hearsay and opinions. I have expressed my opinion.
Villages portion of Sumter Co = Approx 52,000 residents
Deaths attributed to COVID19 in same area = 8 (maybe 9)
Someone want to do the math for the percentage of deaths to residents? I believe it is well less than 1%.
Until the ratio percentage moves up (and it is hardly budging) I am not going to panic and run around screaming "the sky is falling."
Be positive, be happy, live longer. It won't be the virus that gets you. It will be a stress related fatality.
Just in case someone misconstrues my comment again, Please wear a mask so that other folks don't panic when they see you. And wash your hands and keep them away from your face, like your momma told you.  |
Yep, lots of experts on here. It is incredible that we waste our government money actually paying people (so called experts), when all we need is to give out the address for this site. Problem solved, all of America would be informed.
I grew up during a time when we had one voice speaking during a crisis. Since we lack that, I personally, have decided to listen to the experts who have made quite an outstanding career in this specific area (like needing legal advice and going to a
lawyer) and listen to them.
I was “short” with you because talking down as I thought you did, or making fun of those who listen to advice from our experts is not acceptable to me.
I know nothing about this....I have been more confused than most with all the campaigns to malign one while embracing P’s advice. That just makes no sense to me, but perhaps I am just old fashioned.
I apologize for being curt, and I really hurt for the the fact that our country does not have one voice (yes I understand alternate opinions). Meantime, as I read about demonstrations against wearing masks, I will continue to wear that mask, and will offer no advice to anyone on medical matters.
