I missed that warning for 50 years. 3 months without Copenhagen now.
Most of us in high school dipped snuff.

Know all about it. You are breaking that chain with your children. You are a good man, Kyle. :number1:

How would they know on 20/20. Yesterday the HHS spokesperson said it was between .1 and 1 percent. He said they could not pin it down any more than that because there hasn't been enough testing.
My point is you CANNOT do a math calculation of death rate from the number of confirmed cases. The number of confirmed cases doesn't mean a thing, unless you have tested the entire population of the US. We don't know how many people have Covid 19 at this time, and we also don't know how many may have already recovered. In other words we cannot really guess at a death rate. I will take the best guess from an Admiral at HHS before I would take any guess from 20/20. I can also see that the rate of new cases from China is decreasing rapidly and the Recovered cases are accelerating rapidly.

Agreed. How would they know. We need the CORRECT information without assumptions. Clickbait news.

Everyone I knew over 20 years ago is dead as far as I know. If they're not, I don't know it and won't know when they do go, nor will they know when I do.

One of the hardest things I ever did. I still have dreams about having a chew, h3ll... it was my best friend. I won't give you any stupid advice, but... you've gotta want it. Good luck, brother.

My father quit every year, then started smoking again when he went to hunting camp. The last time he went to a hypnotist, and didn't smoke for the last 37 years of his life. Somehow I never picked up the habit.It had nothing to do with health, I started at 15 when I was at a weekend retreat with a bunch of other guys, the following week I remember going out in the woods to smoke; I looked down at the half finished cigarette between my fingers and said out loud "This looks S****y", and put it out. That unfinished pack of cigarettes is still out in the woods under a fallen log, if anybody really needs a smoke.

Thanks guys. You are all right. He was my father, but not a dad. Never played pitch with me, only took me to bars when I was maybe 4-5 years old, just to show me to his girlfriends....
Don't just tell your kids you love them. Take them out to do something, or teach them to do something, and then while you're at it, tell them you love them.
PS, I do yell at my kids too when they are messing up or about to mess up. I also consider that being a dad.
OK, back to corona virus, and old farts.

Remember when doctors, dentists and nurses smoked at work?
