I'm sorry I came off as angry or combative. I really don't intend to, although that's probably a fair accusation as I suppose I am a little (for lack of a better word) angry at the state of the country at the moment. But we all gotta live with it right now, so point taken.

I know this supposed issue was mentioned a few weeks ago. Apparently the shortage of coins continues. Kroger not giving coins as change. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I know that a lot of these grocery stores have machines that would take your change for what I believe was a 10% fee. I'm sitting on a bunch of coin. Wonder if they would be interested in buying it for face plus 10%? | |||

The more we test, the more cases we'll find, as we ramp up the testing the cases discovered will increase dramatically until the entire population has been tested aka infected. We can test and find 100,000 cases a day for 10 years ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/08...-scli-scn/index.html --------------- (CNN)The novel coronavirus pandemic could lead to a wave of brain damage in infected patients, warned British researchers in a new study released Wednesday. Experts at the University College London (UCL) were the latest to describe that Covid-19 could cause neurological complications including stroke, nerve damage, and potentially fatal brain inflammation -- even if the patients didn't show severe respiratory symptoms associated with the disease. "We should be vigilant and look out for these complications in people who have had Covid-19," said joint senior author Dr. Michael Zandi in a UCL press release, warning that it remains to be seen "whether we will see an epidemic on a large scale of brain damage linked to the pandemic." Follow-up studies will be necessary to understand the potential long-term neurological consequences of the pandemic, they said. The study, published in the journal Brain, examined 43 patients treated at University College London Hospitals for either confirmed or suspected coronavirus, from April to May. They varied in age from 16 to 85, and showed a range of mild to severe symptoms. --------------- A study of 43 patients in one hospital system, correlation without proven cause, rampant speculation. That is not science. Besides, we already know the WuFlu causes brain damage in millions of people that aren't even infected! | |||

This concept is too complicated for the gov't, media, and most US residents to understand. I am reminded of "windshield erosion" in the 1950's: https://www.historylink.org/File/5136 -------- On April 15, 1954, Bellingham, Seattle and other Washington communities are in the grip of a strange phenomenon -- tiny holes, pits, and dings have seemingly appeared in the windshields of cars at an unprecedented rate. Initially thought to be the work of vandals, the pitting rate grows so quickly that panicked residents soon suspect everything from cosmic rays to sand-flea eggs to fallout from H-bomb tests. By the next day, pleas are sent to government officials asking for help in solving what would become known as the Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic. CONT... -------- The more people looked for the problem the more they found it. They just failed to realize that it had been there all along and they just hadn't noticed it. | |||

 Again...someone wake me when we hit 165,500+ cases per day. Until then (and as I've said before), it's awwwwwfffuuuulllly EASY for a government "official" to shut down a city/county/state when THEY will continue getting paid.

OK, so kkina has had viscious Covid-consistent symptons since last Thursday. Severe fatigue, cough, sore throat, chest pain, extreme vertigo (which I've had before), nausea, loss of apetite, vomiting. However, no fever at any time. As of today, the symptoms seem to have lifted. I'm currently holed up in my bedroom, hydrating frequently and munching on MREs. Not leaving until I go for my swab test on Thursday. | |||

Typically, the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees makes the decision for private school. Those boards are *heavily* influenced by the recommendations of their principal, executive director, or Superintendent (Whatever they call the lead staff person who reports to the board and typically hires, manages, fires, and is responsible for the rest of the staff). Often, the approach chosen by the school is to follow local health department guidelines, even if they don’t agree with them, for fear of liability. | |||

News article: =============================== 'I thought this was a hoax': Patient in 30s dies after attending 'COVID party' SAN ANTONIO, Texas (WOAI/KABB) – A patient in their 30s died from the coronavirus after attending what's being called a "COVID party," according to a San Antonio health official. Chief Medical Officer of Methodist Healthcare Dr. Jane Appleby said the idea of these parties is to see if the virus is real. "This is a party held by somebody diagnosed by the COVID virus and the thought is to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected," Dr. Appleby said. According to Appleby, the patient became critically ill and had a heartbreaking statement moments before death. "Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said 'I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it's not,'" Appleby said. Appleby made this case public as the spike in cases for Bexar County continues. She wants everyone, especially those in the younger demographic, to realize they are not invincible. "It doesn't discriminate and none of us are invincible," Appleby said. "I don't want to be an alarmist, and we're just trying to share some real-world examples to help our community realize that this virus is very serious and can spread easily." In fact, she said the positivity rate has jumped to 22 percent. "This is a concerning increase from a positive rate of about five percent only several weeks ago," Dr. Appleby said. Thursday night, the city was reporting nearly 18,000 cases, with more than 1,200 patients in the hospital system.

Is she the only one that caught the virus? And died? The Covid party thing is a hoax without additional details. — oops, guess I better read the linked article. She died of stupidity not the Covid. | |||

What an absolutely perfect propaganda piece. There couldn't possibly be any better propaganda. And I don't believe they said any such thing. Who witnessed this remark? Just the nurse? No other witnesses? Stop lying to us. | |||
