do you think covid is real and a threat

[Sue Nami]

I am wondering how many think covid is a threat and how many think it is all a hoax. have you curtailed your hobby activities to some degree due to covid? When out in public do you wear a mask and socially distance yourself from others? what can a provider do to make you feel safer?

[dodger]

but it is not lurking on every corner. i do wear a mask when circumstances dictate. i was socially distancing way before covid made it fashionable. i have hobbied and will hobby again. when i hobby it involves all the kissing and other activities which i associate with physical intimacy. there are issues regarding hobby activities but covid is lower on my list. i don't book time with a lady unless i am in all ways comfortable with her.

It's real as fuck, and has me very very paranoid.

[mm1972]

Yes it is real but the threat has been overblown ... yet I still wear masks and social distance around others because they may feel differently.

[DocHoliday]

Of course the Chinese Covid virus is real. If it were not, why are they wasting time and money working on a vaccination?

[knottyman]

I believe the virus is real. I do not believe it's as deadly as were told to believe.
If you take out the
Covid shark attacks
Covid car crashes
Covid gunshots
Covid drowning
The actual death rate is almost non existent.
I haven't worn a mask yet. Neither have my employees.
On jobsite none of the subcontractors wear masks either.
The death rate is said to be about 6 per 1000.
I estimate I know about 1500 people close enough to where I would know if they died.
So I should know atleastc9 people who have died.
I know ZERO!!
In fact I don't know anyone who knows anyone who has died.
( your barber's neighbors cousin in New Zealand doesn't count)
Ask yourself
If you didn't have a tv or social media. How much would covid have affected you?
Just my thoughts.

I know personally, someone who died. A very good friend of mine, an Austin musician who I saw every single week for years, died of covid.

All I can say is....my boss caught it and nearly died. Out of work for 2 months. Took another 6 weeks for him to be able to do and be in all environments of the workplace.

It's no joke.

1 out of approximately how many people do you know ?
Not saying it won't kill you. Saying the chances are WAAAAY less than the media would have you believe.

Would you want a hose shoved down your throat just to breathe?

My boss lived is not like he just had a cold or sinus infection and went away, he has some permanent damage with his lungs and memory shot to hades.

When I say he nearly died, I'm talking about went to the Upper Room, knock knock on heaven's door as in ICU team think he's game over.

[knottyman]

But he lived.
I feel bad. Honestly. Just saying it isn't as deadly as they say it is. So you know ZERO people who have died compared to ( how many people do you know)?

[Texastoast]

knottyman.... I appreciate you using math to understand this. here's where your logic is off... since you seem to be using logic I hope you understand this...


6 out of 1000 people WHO GET THE VIRUS die from it. So while you may know 1500 people you are incorrect in saying that 9 of them should be dead. because not all of them got the virus. Now if ALL 1500 PEOPLE that you know got the virus then you should expect 9 people dead from it.


not trying to preach just letting you know.

[risn2theoccasion2]

I wear a mask and social distance to protect myself and loved ones from potential danger, simply because of too many unknowns.

I believe it is real because I know people who have contracted it. I also believe it has been used as a political tool to scare the General Populace into a form of submission and accept government control of their daily lives. I know that there are members of the Medical Community that have been silenced and dare not dispute the acceptable narrative put forward and controlled by the international community.

I feel like we have not been told the full truth as to the true origins of the virus and how it spread so quickly around the globe. I find it interesting that the country of origin was in a economic war with the U.S. and stood to lose a lot of economic clout within the International Community. I find it interesting that Multi-Billionaires with intense business ties to China have embraced the narrative of forced immunization and population control, issues totally foreign to their traditional business background. Finally, I am appalled at how many people who have had the blessings of freedom and liberty given to them, so quickly surrender it.

you see this as binary ... just two values. not really the point if your illness goes on for months and some of the effects may be permanent. yes, it is not lurking on every street corner. but it is not "lived=everything is just fine" and "died=not so good"

This is a really good point. Surviving COVID-19 doesn't mean that a person will just go back to being completely healthy. Many survivors will suffer from permanent lung damage, compromised organs, and neurological issues. And there are those who survive and escape such issues but still take a VERY long time to "bounce back." This is a really bad thing to be infected with, and death is only one of many potential consequences.
