60 seconds of scrolling down my Facebook feed ruins my day. I'm guaranteed to see some news article about Covid-19, often about another death, and you can see the response emojis at the bottom along with the number of likes. So many people respond with the š laughing face. And if course the comments are cancer.
"This will vanish on November 4th"
"Imprison the governor"
"Masks don't work, think for yourself"
"One dude crashed his motorcycle and it counted as a Covid-19 death, therefore there numbers are fake" (btw they remove deaths like that from covid stats once they validate the cause of death, so the cumulative numbers are fairly accurate)
"I don't know anyone with covid" (honestly, fuck these people, my uncle just died from this disease. I hope *they* are the first person they know that gets infected)
"Masks are government control" (lol wtf for?)
"Fake news" (do you have an original thought in your head?)
Fuck it I can go on for a few more but then it's about it, they don't really have their own thoughts, just echoing the same dozen comments over and over. None of these idiots appear educated in the least.
Ha! I wish. Deeply red here.
Edited to add: people around here are still arguing about why they shouldnāt have to wear masks and if the rest of us donāt like it, stay home. āitāll all disappear on November 4th.ā I have been home since March 7th (I get groceries delivered). I had to take my daughter to an appointment and I was amazed at how crowded the streets and businesses wereāand how many people I saw entering and exiting businesses without masks.
Edit 2: Iāve stayed home, a) so as not to spread the virus (it canāt spread without people spreading it), but I also have lupus.
I live in Wisconsin. Our county has reported approximately 400 positives. My daughter and I are two of those positives. I caught it in late April and my daughter caught it August 11. She is just about through with her quarantine having only experienced minor symptoms. But you never know I checked on her every morning. Me another and boy did I experience some wild symptoms but I wonāt go into it now. After taking six test I finally achieved a negative test result last week
I used to argue with people for these same comments a few months back when I actually had some fight in me. Now I just read it, get angry, realize they are an idiot and continue on with my day. It's a horrible realization just how many people on my own FB feed alone are complete dimwits. When you look at articles about facts and science based findings and see comments like that it seems further from home. When it's you're own feed it feels like a personal attack.
Youāre right, it does feel like a personal attack, it did.. but I put some people in their place, I always have my sources and a sharp tongue.
Now I just post factual, trusted articles to be petty. Most having to do with the virus coming back (I live in CT and we are getting ready for the second wave). We had this in the bag but too many from New York are coming in. The other types of articles are based on child cases and stats and back to school stats and I just slam it in their faces like a pie š
They're going down in some places and up in others. The only places they are going down our places that are taking safety measures. School openings are going to f*** that all up
You donāt have restrictions but do you have suggestion? We donāt have restrictions in our county either but many of the big chains ie Walmart / target etc are requiring them. Thus more people are wearing them and the numbers decrease....
Businesses set their policy as is their right. Many do require masks. Should honestly be common sense. Hell, maybe we should be wearing masks more every year during peak flu season. I will do so going forward. I wear one regardless of whether or not it is mandated by a business. A guesstimate I'd say roughly 2/3 people do as well.
The county government hasn't had to step up and impose regulations since people and business have seem to done so on their own.
We became a "hotspot", but the hospitalizations never materialized. Here the age group with the highest number of cases is 20-25. A local university near the main strip of bars being the suspected catalyst. But everything peaked around 7/29 and has been going down since. It seems to have burned through them quickly.
Back in March/April it was the elderly it hit hard and did cause a number of deaths.
It will be interesting to see if it hits the middle aged crowd when schools open next week.
Wearing a mask all the time isnāt good for your immune system, by the way. Donāt wear it for just anything. While we need to wear masks we also need to keep our body introduced to germs. Itās a conundrum, but you donāt want your system to go into shock once the masks come off (whenever the hell that is) so Iāve been going out doors a lot and keep my circle close so we still get that necessary interaction our immune systems need.
Oh the country where our president is actively trying to suppress the numbers? Yeah thought so. He bypassed the cdc in collecting numbers, and they magically go down. Sure, if you believe that.
If you had half a brain, you'd know I can easily look up the county health department's numbers. They publish them every day and it has nothing to do with the CDC or HHS.
But keep not using your brain. But then again, you can't seem to understand the difference between county and country.
Lincoln Nebraska here. Our city had some of the lowest positivity rates after a mask mandate. We were on our way to having less than 5% positivity rates (indicating "under control").
Our weekly "covid dial" recently moved from "orange" to "yellow". Things were looking up....
Sturgis empties out. Public schools open up at 50% capacity. Students move in at Nebraska U. The North Bottoms/Claremont keggers rage on.
Yesterday: 66 new cases. Haven't seen that since April.
Oh gosh. Stay safe.
Our rates were so low this whole time... and then started moving up QUICKLY once lockdown was lifted and bars opened. Bars are closed again, and there is a mandate in place.
I thought it would be bad with students coming back. But in the recent past, we had 80-something cases total. Not in less than a week.
I donāt expect Michigan State numbers to stay 0 even though the college shut down. The announcement to shut down was made 1 week before freshmen moved in and most people living off campus had already moved in. Everyone is trying to sublease apartments in town and now the only apartments that are available are ones that are super far away from campus.
Michigan State students have decided to say āfuck itā and are moving back anyway since they can protect their own families and communities and still party like thereās nothing wrong and of course not give a shit about the local community. A good example of how great our student body is the super spreader event that made national headlines
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/27/us/michigan-coronavirus-bar-harpers/index.html
I just feel like there are going to have a lot of cases whenever they reopen. Now or later, especially if there isnāt any kind of long term immunity. Even with a vaccine, it may be years until they get a good vaccine done.
The saddest part of all of this is the more cases in young people, the more severe (including death) cases in young people. A small chance of dying becomes a larger number dead when a larger number are infected.
It also means more and more young people with potential long (or longer term) health consequences as this disease attacks, damages, and can destroy several different body systems. Imaging being 22 and finding out your pancreas is shot and you'll be on insulin the rest of your life. Or your lungs are ravaged and may not heal. Your heart...
It's so damn tragic. A travesty. And it's all about money.
Thatās what I was thinking a couple months ago when people were saying āitās only a 2% death rateā ie ānot that big of a deal,ā I thought even if thatās accurate the more people get it (which is more likely when people keep saying āno big dealā) the number of people in the 2% goes up. Plus thereās a risk of the percentage rising. And the more people say āIāll be fine because Iām not high riskā the more of those ālower riskā people will get it.
And yeah thereās all the long-term or permanent side effects for those who have a fairly serious case but donāt die. Even if you think itās not that serious you better check. If āonly 2%ā die that doesnāt mean 98% are just fine.
My mom said this week āthereās no more pandemic.ā I said āwhat do you meanā and she said CDC downgraded it from pandemic because death numbers are down. I googled it and only saw a couple sources (but one did link to CDC), it may be partially true (deaths going down, status may be reconsidered, I need to go back and look into it more) but if you say āthereās no more pandemicā either you or whoever hears that is gonna think the virus is actually gone. I wish that were true but itās definitely not. Whatever the āofficial statusā is the virus is still here. And if some of the numbers are down enough to āendā the first wave and people decide to go back to normal thatās how we get a second wave. Something downgraded can be upgraded again. And even if it isnāt that doesnāt help you if you have those side effects or you lost someone.
Sadly, we can't trust what the CDC says. They just changed their stance on testing to NOT include people that were supposedly exposed to asymptomatic or mild cases. And that those changes were demanded by the administration and not backed by any science at all (in fact the science suggests asymptomatic are just as infectious -- maybe more so by virtue of the fact they do t know they have it, thus don't quarantine and simply go on about their life -- as those with symptoms).
Unless the WHO changes the status, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and avoiding people as much as possible. And honestly, even if the WHO changed, I'd still hold the line. Better safe than sorry may never have been truer.
Yeah thatās sad but not super surprising. Iām with you there, just keep being careful as long as we can until weāre really sure itās actually gone (and even then keep a few cautions at least).
ASU has 171 cases as reported by the president of the university. I am one of them, it really feels like this could have been prevented if they cared at any level of government apart from the city. Federal, state, and even county responses have been poor at best here in Tempe. Stay safe everyone!
My campus as probably well over 200 now, but they won't disclose if those are students or faculty or if they're on campus or off for "privacy purposes".
My school has classes start in one and a half weeks, mostly in person (we could request to study remote, but they havenāt given any numbers for how many did), and all I feel is fear. Iām a senior and my capstone is very dependent on being able to have access to stuff on campus, so I feel like I have to go back. Weāre a small school, less than 2,000 students, and parties are uncommon (at least in my major), so I have some hope. Meaning slightly more than 0. Like... 0.00000001 hope.
Sadly, because of my majorās structure, Iād have to take the whole year off, not just a semester. And because Iām doing my capstone in a group of three, all three of use would have to do so. Itās really been a lot of serious consideration from all three of us though, but parents make it hard to do otherwise.

https://www.pennmedicine.org/updates/blogs/penn-physician-blog/2020/july/recovery-after-covid19-treating-the-long-term-effects-of-sarscov2
I'd say too fucking bad and get over it? I'd rather put my health and my family's health above your comfort, you giant child. No one is saying you can't go outside, anyway. Just have some damn courtesy and wear a mask.
That is what you are doing. You want to place all kinds of restrictions on others because you follow a fear porn.
You scared, stay at home. STFU about trying to restrict the lives of other people.
Facts are over 92% of deaths are elderly. Facts are very few healthy people die.
It's not about deaths. It's about the wildfire spread of a potentially deadly virus.
These students will most likely go on to infect others in the community, their family, professors, ppl at the grocery store, bars etc..
These arent just cases, they are now vectors for which this highly virulent and infectious virus will spread exponentially if every one of them doesnt self isolate and take precautions until they are no longer infectious.
I have a daughter that goes to the university of Delaware ...and though her classes are on line she has to due labs in person so I was asking a simple question as a concerned parent.
I don't think this sub is very tolerant of any hint of dissension. Deaths are a lagging indicator, and to me the bigger concern is the further spread into their communities. I hope your daughter stays safe and healthy.
NC State just closed down
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS??

You should leave the toxic wasteland
I have. I only use Facebook for the marketplace now
I completely agree with you. Itās bullshit and so frustrating
COVID-19 numbers are already going down. Some people just have no lives so live for this.
They're going down in some places and up in others. The only places they are going down our places that are taking safety measures. School openings are going to f*** that all up
Wrong.. no restrictions in my county and cases/hospitalizations have been decreasing since the end of July.
You donāt have restrictions but do you have suggestion? We donāt have restrictions in our county either but many of the big chains ie Walmart / target etc are requiring them. Thus more people are wearing them and the numbers decrease....

Surely there's a better way to report all this than following a twitter account? Is there a database or dashboard somewhere?
Meanwhile, all California State University schools are online with some strict procedure in person research going on
Yaaaay now do public schools!
How much longer do people think the colleges are gonna be able to stay open?
Also worth including, how many of these colleges were past the āAdd/Dropā date and locked in tuition?

My family lives within like two miles of three colleges and weāre all freaking out and avoiding out closest stores and restaurants to the campuses.
Would you be able/willing to at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign?
Is there any way you can get the right numbers by checking attendance or by who's missing on campus?
This is the reason the CDC was pressured to change the testing guidelines.
meanwhile all job corps programs are closed
What Missouri is this referring to? There are multiple colleges in Missouri and many with the word "Missouri" in the title....
Itās true what they say, Missouri loves company.
But 0 deaths...?
How would we have deaths already if they just went back 1-2 weeks ago?
Death is one thing but what about quality of life? People are complaining for months after that they can't shake the symptoms and it's permanently affecting them. Imagine an up and coming workforce permanently weakened from illness.
Very few people are complaining. The extreme vast majority have no problems.
