So next we will hear that for 100 days we should wear a mask 24x7 regardless of where you are.

Contact tracing let’s the government know who you’ve been in contact with and your whereabouts. You’re okay with that ?

That post was a very good health care message and warning. Don't dance with the CV Devil!

Let me guess. They were both wearing masks and face shields too.

....and you don't think that if for some obscure reason the government were interested in you, they would not be able to trace your movements?
Every time you log onto a device, you can be traced.
As for cell phones, you leave a path wherever you go!

If it is true what you say about Golf NOT being a moneymaker ( which I doubt because it is the reason that so many people move to TV Land), then Golf should be stopped in its tracks and par 3s put in because the LARGE courses are bad for the environment (fertilizer runoff and chemical poisoning of birds and turtles, also humans somewhat) and more forest areas could be substituted for the Golf.

of course, I don't believe that anything like that can happen in MY lifetime because MAN is determined to kill off as many plant and animal species as HUMANLY (ha, ha) possible until EVEN MANKIND is at the brink. You go......brothers and sisters.........pollute away!!!!!

Or MAYBE (?) sound a warning knell that ALL humans should hear and take ACTION on!

And what was that old expression. " you can lead a horse to water, but you................etc" ?

yes you can get covid 19 indoors that when you are have social interaction even if you are indoors 20 feet you must were a N95 mask to be sure especially when the AC unit is on recirculating and moving air and air droplets. also change your AC filter to high efficiency one very offend and make sure have high power blower motor to be sure that air is being filter properly.

Maybe - but as a message of WARNING to the good people of TV Land, if La Lamy were to save ONE person in TV Land who takes that message seriously and MANDATES his-or-her-selves to stay AWAY from any indoor building containing people - then that warning is GOLDEN to them. And La Lamy is GOLDEN for CARING enough about her NEIGHBORS to pass USEFUL information on to them, which COULD save their lives! You go Golden Lady.......forget the naysayers - who MAYBE(?) right in the letter of medical science (who knows) BUT is again missing the forest (of CV death and callous DOWNPLAYING) for the details and smugly assuming the intellectual high ground.

Spot on. Good information in a tight package.

Let's call an audible
 

thanks for the facts man just the facts. The rest of the chicken 🐔 littles can drive themselves insane with the minutiae of non verifiable covid spreading horror stories.
Now i can resume my search for the holy grail.

You would also need sealed eye goggles since you can contract it through the eyes.

It only makes people angry and sick at heart to be preached to. People's minds will not likely be changed and certainly not by someone talking down to them. I am sure most mean well and are not selfish. If we each were self responsible which I truly believe most villagers are, than we could hopefully keep ourselves and others safe. I notice again the rise in deaths in Sumter County in the past ten days is not as great as the rest of Florida and the world. I think we know why. Most of us are trying to do the right thing.

The vaccine is coming. I urge all to get both doses and to wait until our body responds and builds immunity and then we can go out into the world again.

On the other hand, I have neighbors and family that all visit without masks and NONE of us have become infected. Or, have we? Perhaps, we have all been infected and recovered with no evidence of infection and now have anti-bodies protecting us. We have been visiting and eating out for months, with no one/NO ONE showing symptoms. And in my 70's, I am still the youngest of the group, other than our children that have visited, and stayed for several days.
Foolish or just pragmatic about the situation? I understand the dangers, but I am not paralyzed with fear of living my life as normal as possible. Yes, I still wear a mask in places posted, wash my hands frequently and stay my distance. I can not speak for the rest of the clan.
I believe that FEAR is just as debilitating as most of the infection stories we have been hearing. Call me a fool if you wish, but it is not this person that is worried about silly stories about some child telling stories in an effort to attain some attention, or fearing the real truth that her boyfriend probably snuck in the window and brought the virus with him. Who knows, perhaps it is true that she visited with a friend for five minutes and that friend coughed and used the door handle when leaving and the girl closed the door behind her when she left and did not wash her hands. Who cares? If this story throws you into a panic, what does it say about folks that can't handle life's obstacles because of fear?
Once the vaccine is released, I have no intention of wearing that useless mask anymore. After all, if you are immunized from the virus, you won't be able to worry about whether or not I am infected.

If it were up to me ALL REC centers would have locks on their doors with a sign, "WILL NOT OPEN FOR HEALTH REASONS UNTIL AFTER THE CV PANDEMIC IS OVER" ! And while I am at it - all INDOOR churches would be closed. All non-essential business would be closed. All Squares would be closed and deserted.

And before anyone blames me for thinking this way, remember that I did NOT ignore the CV Plague and allow it to metastasize into a raging inferno in the US (preventing contact tracing) And does anyone else notice the INCREASED helicopter flights away from TV Land hospitals......maybe just a coincidence? And notice that Sweden's ICUs are 99% filled today?

Yes. South Korea has been one of the best countries in the world for controlling COVID.

Yes and I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale

If SK was so great, they wouldn't need us to protect them, would they?

I keep hearing on here about tiny little countries handling the virus so well, compared to the U.S. In my opinion, we have handled it very well. If not for Warp Speed the whole world would be waiting years for a vaccine. And please remember that we have states larger than some of the countries that everyone seems to applaud.

Wonder why the helicopters are moving patients to other hospitals? Recently I hear many more flights.

Exactly all of these dumb sites are on smart news which is a rag ! Everything is suspect

Yes it is not accurate ! Why worry people more ?

No one knew much and we still don’t !

Agreed. But since the rate of infection is still outrageous, I thought people needed to be reminded.

Not meant to create more fear, just more precaution for those who need to.

Yes, it IS true that "life has risks". But, the point is to ask yourself, " does my state and country care as much about me as does another country, such as Germany, Finland, Australia, or South Korea?" Does my state care enough about me to mandate the wearing of masks? Are seatbelts and speed bumps helpful in saving lives. Should we have governments making laws for citizen health or should anarchy and "cowboy mentality" lead us?

How many inaccuracies? Let me count the ways..........or NOT......waste my time?

Maybe this is the reason South Korea fared so well.

Last month, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases, Korean Society for Antimicrobial Therapy, Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and a tuberculosis association recommended the use of Kaletra, an anti-HIV medication, in combination with HCQ, to treat Covid-19.


Hydroxychloroquine used by Korea for Covid-19 while US is divided | Christina Lin | The Blogs

That is simply not true. It’s not fees collected it’s the ancillary revenue. It’s the online booking, clothes, equipment, food, booze etc

Be cautious but....
 

Be cautious of course, but also be SURE you verify a "click bait" story from South Korea about a high school student you don't even know (probably) and, did he live ? like hundreds here in The V's, perhaps he had it and is now immune ? How can YOU be absolutely SURE this student could ONLY have gotten this in an indoor "space".... at 20th feet.... use your own God given intelligence about trusting and verifying before posting. Some people will be intimidated, needlessly, over this type of "click bait" for those whose attention they can get on the internet. Not a "denier", but neither am I going to ignore my education, especially related to biology, microbes, viruses, etc. and just plain "common sense".... which is getting less "common" everyday ! ?

THAT is another fake news conspiracy theory talking. Please try HARD to avoid propaganda. It can melt your brain and lead the US to becoming a Dictatorship. I KNOW that you do NOT want that!

Sure, and I can find stats that will tell me anything I want to hear. Of course, I have a stake in my country and appreciate it. It's a shame that other folks refuse to acknowledge what a great thing and blessing they have here and keep looking over the fence to see what others have and are never satisfied with being the BEST.

I think that you, yourself are TRYING to do the right thing toward your neighbors. I did not start out preaching, but I found so much bad information and hardened opinions in the posts that it was like a vacuum that needed filling. I was not the best to do that, but it needed to be done. So, I HAVE gotten preachy - now whether that is effective or not - we will never know.

When you say, " I urge you to get a 2nd shot", are NOT you being preachy? Yet that is GOOD advice so everyone should accept it (even if it is obvious and that there is no purpose in getting the Pfizer vaccine without taking the 2nd dose). And remember that Pfizer is only the 1st vaccine (maybe NOT the most successful). I bought stock in JNJ for their vaccine, which is based on a different system than either the Pfizer or Moderno vaccine.

Incidentally, before everyone starts celebrating like it is 1999 - please Google Pulitizer Prize winner Lori Garrett's book "The Coming Pandemic", which was written about 4 years before the current CV and correctly predicted it. Her recent comments say that Pfizer and Moderno can NOT manufacture the numbers of vaccine that they currently say that they can ( due to a shortage of raw material because it is also used in testing for CV, so therefore scarce! I believe that the JNJ vaccine (coming before the FDA in January) does NOT have that problem? But. I welcome other learned opinions on that.

Why would large populations and "might make right"?

You did the right thing! No need to apologize.

I'd answer your question IF I knew what you were saying. Could you use your edit button and perhaps simplify your thought for us lower educated?

It is possible. I will keep an open mind and look for more reports on that. Thanks.

Come on, let not get carried away with this Warpspeed stuff saving the world.
Russia and China have made and used their own vaccine.
Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was going before Warpspeed, and financed it themselves.
Many pharma companies around the world are bringing other vaccines out, and trialing them.

I don't think that anyone wishes to disparage you. I believe that folks are just getting a bit tired of all the continuing hysteria and panic and do not wish any more negative input. I doubt if the negative comments are meant to be personal. I know mine aren't.

Like I said in another post, I have been in neighbor's homes and they have been here and we have been remiss with the mask wearing. We have been out to dinner about once a week since the restaurants reopened. No indication with any of us being infected so far. I have done all the shopping in the past year, because it gives my spouse less exposure, if that makes any sense ...considering. So, when someone presents one vague incident of a theory that someone was in the same room for five minutes with an infected and caught the virus, it is without enough details to make a conclusion as to whether or not there might have been other associated factors involved.

Anyway, the vaccine will be available shortly and then all this will be moot.

I don't think that is an example of "out of context". More a possible example of a diversion from the implied or assumed direction of an issue. Either way, it seemed to make an impression, a BYTE MARK.
