The Great Covid Debate seems to be geared towards either you have a total melt down over Covid or you don't care about anyone dying or think it is fake.
It's a fake choice - a paper tiger. There are a lot of gray areas between these two extremes.
I say there is a middle ground and it is really important place to consider.
I care about Covid, my husband was diagnosed with cancer in Aug and has just undergone 2 weeks of radiation and 10 weeks of chemo with 2 more weeks to go before a break. He's weak and his blood-cell counts are low. (typical of chemo patients) A low white blood-cell count can make it difficult to fight off any type of infection.
We believe that Covid is real and dangerous and that he is at great risk of a difficult or deadly outcome, should he become infected. We know that while the tests are flawed there are real cases and real people dying from it. Yes, we do care and also have family members at risk.
In our state, WA, our governor, Jay Inslee has mandated a list of nonsensical lock downs on specific types of businesses. Yet, 30% of people are working outside of the home. Essential and other tasks continue to move forward and the virus WILL continue to spread. That's what viruses do, they find a new host or they die. There is too much contact to stop the spread.
Regarding insisting that people don't eat out and don't drink is not science-based, it isn't fact-based nor is the concept supported by the International or Regional data.
We know long term care centers are a huge risk, we know that those with compromised immune systems are at a huge risk.
Most others are not.
My husband and I are thankful to the essential workers and those who are healthy getting out there and keeping the world and the economy going during these times. We want that for a time he is stronger and if by chance he never is.... We want that anyway for our children and our grandchildren.
We want small businesses to survive, for supplies to keep coming and for most people to have the ability to pursue a normal and happy life.
Yes, you CAN think that Covid is real and comes with real risks and still think the political response is ridiculous and meaningless.
You can also keep the situation in perspective and focus on being extremely cautious around those with the greatest risk factors and those in poor health living in group settings are BY FAR the most at risk. Yet I have not seen one study, or any brainstorming on how to help keep the Covid out of those homes.
Thank you to all of you who are working, living, and educating the kids, those in healthcare and trucking and retail. All the other things I didn't mention.
All the very best to your Hubby.
I believe Covid is real, a couple of relatives have been tested positive, both had a horrible time with it but thankfully on the other side now. Me and my family do what we have to to keep us and everyone around us safe. Social distancing, wearing a mask and washing our hands plus using sanitizer and only go out when we really need to.
Stay Safe ♥
Best wishes and I'm not aiming to stress you at this time...
But covid is 100% fake...
As is germ theory.
Wish you and your family all the best and agree with everything you said.
My Sis-in-law's mother tested positive in a nursing home, but never had any symptoms before testing negative again. Since then my Great Aunt tested positive in a nursing facility and was quarantined 2 weeks and is ok. She had mild symptoms.
I have another friend who is in his mid 60s and in excellent health who got it, was in really bad shape and was hospitalized a week. He appears to have mostly recovered, with the aggressive measures that they took, but he said at one point he was concerned if he would recover and invited any of his friends and family to call him if they were not sure it was real. He has not gained 100% of his energy and stamina back yet, but is still working on it.
I understand the powers that be have never dealt with anything like it, but I believe they are doing all they know how to advise people. I'm sure they are making some mistakes. All in all though, what I do believe it is real and I believe it is up to each of us to do the very best we can to protect ourselves and those we love. It's simply not worth the risk not too.
Hopefully it is just temporary.
People are just bad at nuance and prefer a one-size-fits-all interpretations. The choices are: a) completely over-blown or b) completely under-stated.
And we can tell on its face that nether is true. And if you think that there's a more nuanced interpretation, both sides can claim you're completely wrong.
If you can find Lactoferrine let your husband take a good dose of it while on Chemo. There's research showing how it can significantly help the effectiveness of the Chemo while having no adverse effects. Read this for example or search the medical databases like PubMed for Lactoferrine + Cancer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7175311/
@whatsup,
Yes take care your husband. This thing is extremely deadly for patients who are recovering from Cancers. Stay safe & I hope both Vaccinations will help to build the immunity system of entire human race against this deadly pandemic.
I heard they voted 13:1 for who will get 1st vaccinations. No doubt Healthcare workers should get it first & then people like your husband, who are recovering from cancer type illnesses should get the vaccine as soon as possible. I wish you both a good luck & healthy life!

I wish you and your family well, regardless what the truth is. Hope your husband recovers fully and quickly.😎
hard to think reasonably when blinded by rage 😂
well said and more along how I feel towards all this and to those keeping the arteries of this country pumping....the real salt of the earth types, they are true patriots in a time like this
I sincerely hope that empathy, thoughtfulness and practicality mixed with logic can occur but it seems most politicians have their heads up their asses. I also think everyone who survives 2020 should get a damn trophy of participation or at the very least, a gold star sticker ;)
