Difficult to make up one's mind as a result of what one person is saying. I am not suggesting it's rubbish but it really depends on what the effects are. I am not worried about my DNA being detected though. Common sense suggests that given a toss up between vaccination at my age and health condition then I would still go for a vaccine. Obviously I would like to see more wider evidence on the subject which may or may not come to fruition. It's bad enough fearing a virus, then to have to fear a vaccine as well.

thumper63 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Fforest... I love ya like a brother but this gal is totally in the wrong. Our govenor has made it mandatory that masks be worn in any and all public places in the state of Colorado due to spikes in covid cases. For the vast majority of us who are actually living here, this shit is very real and not fake news or some diabolical plot by some government to cripple our economy. I would never deny you your rights to your views or your beliefs.... but this gal was being incredibly selfish, self centered, and inconsiderate in her actions. PS.

One thing.....When videos are copied from twitter you also get what the poster on twitter wrote above the video.....So I did not write the above comment,I only copied the video and the comment came with it...... I do agree with you the owner of the store had the right to ask her to leave a private business.... But I also understand her taking a stand against the Covid madness....And I do fear that the masks are going to lead to more requirements to enter a store in the future like a vaccine and a microchip.....I don't want this for me or anyone else....

Popular Post lazarus Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Excellent perspective from Dr. Tony Fauci, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: “Chickenpox is a virus. Lots of people have had it, and probably don't think about it much once the initial illness has passed. But it stays in your body and lives there forever, and maybe when you're older, you have debilitatingly painful outbreaks of shingles. You don't just get over this virus in a few weeks, never to have another health effect. We know this because it's been around for years, and has been studied medically for years. Herpes is also a virus. And once someone has it, it stays in your body and lives there forever, and anytime they get a little run down or stressed-out they're going to have an outbreak. Maybe every time you have a big event coming up (school pictures, job interview, big date) you're going to get a cold sore. For the rest of your life. You don't just get over it in a few weeks. We know this because it's been around for years, and been studied medically for years. HIV is a virus. It attacks the immune system and makes the carrier far more vulnerable to other illnesses. It has a list of symptoms and negative health impacts that goes on and on. It was decades before viable treatments were developed that allowed people to live with a reasonable quality of life. Once you have it, it lives in your body forever and there is no cure. Over time, that takes a toll on the body, putting people living with HIV at greater risk for health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, bone disease, liver disease, cognitive disorders, and some types of cancer. We know this because it has been around for years, and had been studied medically for years. Now with COVID-19, we have a novel virus that spreads rapidly and easily. The full spectrum of symptoms and health effects is only just beginning to be cataloged, much less understood. So far the symptoms may include: Fever Fatigue Coughing Pneumonia Chills/Trembling Acute respiratory distress Lung damage (potentially permanent) Loss of taste (a neurological symptom) Sore throat Headaches Difficulty breathing Mental confusion Diarrhea Nausea or vomiting Loss of appetite Strokes have also been reported in some people who have COVID-19 (even in the relatively young) Swollen eyes Blood clots Seizures Liver damage Kidney damage Rash COVID toes (weird, right?) People testing positive for COVID-19 have been documented to be sick even after 60 days. Many people are sick for weeks, get better, and then experience a rapid and sudden flare up and get sick all over again. A man in Seattle was hospitalized for 62 days, and while well enough to be released, still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Then there is MIS-C. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. Children with MIS-C may have a fever and various symptoms, including abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes, or feeling extra tired. While rare, it has caused deaths. This disease has not been around for years. It has basically been 6 months. No one knows yet the long-term health effects, or how it may present itself years down the road for people who have been exposed. We literally *do not know* what we do not know. For those in our society who suggest that people being cautious are cowards, for people who refuse to take even the simplest of precautions to protect themselves and those around them, I want to ask, without hyperbole and in all sincerity: How dare you? How dare you risk the lives of others so cavalierly. How dare you decide for others that they should welcome exposure as "getting it over with", when literally no one knows who will be the lucky "mild symptoms" case, and who may fall ill and die. Because while we know that some people are more susceptible to suffering a more serious case, we also know that 20 and 30-year-olds have died, marathon runners and fitness nuts have died, children and infants have died. How dare you behave as though you know more than medical experts, when those same experts acknowledge that there is so much we don't yet know, but with what we DO know, are smart enough to be scared of how easily this is spread, and recommend baseline precautions such as: Frequent hand-washing Physical distancing Reduced social/public contact or interaction Mask wearing Covering your cough or sneeze Avoiding touching your face Sanitizing frequently touched surfaces The more things we can all do to mitigate our risk of exposure, the better off we all are, in my opinion. Not only does it flatten the curve and allow health care providers to maintain levels of service that aren't immediately and catastrophically overwhelmed; it also reduces unnecessary suffering and deaths, and buys time for the scientific community to study the virus in order to come to a more full understanding of the breadth of its impacts in both the short and long term. I reject the notion that it's "just a virus" and we'll all get it eventually. What a careless, lazy, heartless stance.” Edited July 18, 2020 by lazarus 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 50 minutes ago, Washedup said: I see the protests have started in Bangkok. .the natives are getting restless. Better Hold Fast https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/1953592/hundreds-rally-for-democracy Several hundred people led by a group called Free Youth gathered on Saturday near the Democracy Monument in Bangkok to call for the dissolution of the House and a rewrite of the constitution. The rally was staged to press three demands: dissolution of the House, a rewrite of the constitution and an end to official and judicial harassment of those critical of the government. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-18/thousands-in-bangkok-rally-against-thai-government Several thousand anti-government protesters rallied in Thailand's capital on Saturday to call for a new constitution, new elections and an end to repressive laws. https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/world/2020/07/18/scuffles-and-song-as-thai-youth-protest-in-bangkok/ Scuffles broke out as thousands of mainly young and black-clad Thai protesters converged on Saturday at Bangkok’s Democracy Monument, in the city’s rowdiest anti-government protest in years. Thailand, a kingdom whose rambunctious politics is defined by coups and often deadly street protests, is facing an unprecedented economic shock due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With the economy in freefall, anger against a government stacked with elderly former generals and supporters of the royalist establishment is bubbling. The crowd sang vitriolic anti-government rap songs and waved placards denouncing the administration of former army chief Prayut Chan-O-Cha — and calling for the abolition of the Thailand’s strict royal defamation law.
