Corona Virus # 3

I missed that warning for 50 years. 3 months without Copenhagen now.

Most of us in high school dipped snuff.

Back in those day's almost everyone smoked. In China, all the males still do!:shocked: They must have missed the surgeons general warning...

my dad died from lung cancer at 62 and 1 month and some days. I remember that because the social security, had just sent his 2nd check, well, we had to send back the 2nd check because he had passed away.

What little I saw of him, he smoked "Kool" brand cigarettes. Oh yeah, he was an alcoholic too.

No tears from me at his death.

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

Last night on 20/20, they also said it was 3.4% .

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.

I quit chewing BeechNut about 11 years ago... after 30 years. Man, I still miss it sometimes.

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.

 

[Citydude]

Wow. That's kind of a sad statement.

Everyone I knew over 20 years 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.

 

[Diggin It]

'Tis my life.

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.
