How’s Eddie?

At the small ACE hardware yesterday to pick up new faucet stems...

Place packed to gills... no distancing and as I was getting my item from the bottom shelf two people leaning over me...

Rules vary from place to place with most stringent the hospital where I work

Lowes had a lot of customers, too. I suspect flower planting season had a lot to do with it.

Wow . . . I don't like people leaning over me in good times . . .

Dollar type stores seem to be the worst. Not the best in normal times.

I got the 1st Pfizer shot on Monday at the county Health Dept. Only place offering it. 55+ by appointment. Took 30 minutes. People coming an hour or more early and were told to go sit in their car despite being told repeatedly not to come early and signs were everywhere, including the parking lot and sidewalks.

Sore arm on Tuesday and Wednesday....then at 4pm on Thursday it hit with flu-like aches for 30 hours. Temp 100-102. Then suddenly went away.

Older people often arrive early and often will do a drive by the day before for surgery appointments..,

My wife got her second Moderna shot yesterday. This morning she said her arm was sore. This evening all was back to normal.

For those who refuse to get their shots because they are afraid of some of the minor symptoms: There are hundreds of thousands of dead people in the USA right now who, if they had the choice now, would gladly get the shots and suffer the minor symptoms, if any.

You know what is so sad about this is that none of those people had to die, we have treatments for covid that work, several actually, and no one will tell you that. CDC won't tell you that, most local health agencies won't tell you that. Just wear your mask and wait for an experimental vaccine which may or may not work and may or may not have long term side effects.

Here's some further reading on treatment protocols and Ivermectin.

COVID-19

EVMS is responding to the COVID-19 outbreak to ensure the health, safety and well-being of the campus and community.

Those who take a vitamin d supplement regularly have almost no chance of death or even severe symptoms. The doctor that I go to recommends 4000+ units a day as a preventative measure.

For those who do have severe symptoms and/or are hospitalized there are several existing drugs that work. This causes inflammation and clotting/thickening of the blood in some patients and we know how to treat both of those things.

I, personally, know of several people who had covid and treated it with ivermectin with no ill effects. It is a shame that since it is a cheap, commonly used drug that does not require a prescription, that major drug companies will do no study on it or recommend it because there is no profit in its use.

I can honestly say, everybody I know is quite eager and willing to get a vaccine....if it's available. Any possible vaccine symptoms does not appear to be a deterrent.

Doubt it. The numbers have been skewed because many deaths have falsely been contributed to covid. Substitute flu for covid and realize that how overblown this mild virus has been.
Hospitals quickly realized that attributing anything to covid gives them more money from the fed gov't.

The only thing Covid is a true killer of is:
1) Flu
2) Cancer
3) Heart disease
4) ability to think
5) Logic
6) Common sense
7) Economy
8) Jobs
9) Businesses
10) Human connection and compassion.

I'm not getting the vaccine nor do I wear masks. I support the freedom to do it or not to do it.

WHO admitted on Bloomberg news (8/3/20) that covid death rate is 0.06% and most of those are in the high age group.
