Well, according to those who keep pointing out how many people die from other diseases and therefore we shouldn’t fret about or take precautions against COVID-19, you’re way ahead of most of us. You’re not just susceptible to dying from seasonal flu like everyone else, your other conditions supposedly mean that this one shouldn’t even be on your radar. Having hypertension and being at an age when my peers are dropping around me, I’m in a slightly similar situation: Ha, COVID-19, threaten someone else; I ain’t skeert of you! (As I understand how I’m supposed to think.) That so-called “reasoning” isn’t how I’ve always assessed the total risk of multiple hazards in the past, and it seems quite bizarre to me. It is, however, so common these days that I’m beginning to wonder if I could be wrong about everyone else’s being out of step but me.  ► 6.4/93.6 “ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.” — Immanuel Kant | |||

Have you guys been looking at airfare prices to China? Now might be a good time to plan that trip to China. I think the prices will continue to drop for a bit but we’re getting close to killer deals territory on a trip to China. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

I went to 100% cash in retirement accounts a few weeks ago Today I put back 20% of my cash position. Looking to add more if/when we get 5-10% lower yet. Got to scale in. | |||

I don't recall seeing anyone here posting anything of the sort. In fact, I've seen multiple people say follow the same precautions you would take against getting the flu. You are normally a solid voice and source of reason, logic, and critical thinking. What happened? | |||

Taking a stance pointing out how this has been so over-hyped by the msm and democrats (yes, we know - they are basically one and the same) does not mean we are encouraging people to "not take precautions." AT THIS TIME, Covid is not nearly the EOTWAWKI scenario the media has made it out to be. Maybe next month, but not today. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

There has been some false equivalency made to COVID 19 and the yearly influenza. I felt it was always with good intentions and was pointed out that we as a nation underutilize the yearly vaccination. Follow the CDC guidance for your specific demographic and judge the risk to yourself accordingly. | |||

Is this going to be the new normal for a while?

Which means we have time to learn from the Italians and plan ahead. We won't, of course, but we could. "America is at that awkward stage.

I saw a new dentist yesterday for x-rays and an assessment. The dental hygienist who did the work remarked that she was amazed I came in. I asked why, and she looked at me like I sprouted a second head. I guess the one high school on the other side of town closing for a day to be "sterilized" and it has most of the town freaked out. The fear from this is going to impact a lot more people than the disease. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Wait, what? |
I wonder if we’ll ever get the full body count from China; herding millions into cramped conditions and the only medical attention you give them is a cot to either recover or die on is not a sound method for success. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

My dentist has his office in the 4th floor of a hospital, my six month cleaning is coming up shortly. I’ve been on the fence to cancel or not? | |||
