I just want to say that our health care workers are as much or more heroes than any military guy.
And we cannot even provide them with protective gear and such.
My hats off to you and an eternal thank you for your and any family members service in the health care field on the front lines.

many more in the US and around the world are serving by helping to feed the isolated and elderly and such and in so many ways.
People actually sewing gowns and masks for HC workers and on.
We really need to grow that army too. and it is all volunteer too.

after all this is over we need to continue to show our respect and gratitude for their selfless sacrifice. Maybe a National HC worker holiday? Discounts like veterans in stores?

I’m talking about Quercetin. It’s not chloroquine, it’s similar in its ability to fight viruses. They want to use chloroquine now to treat corona.

Quercetin isn’t toxic at all. It comes from plants, it’s a flavonoid.

A bunch of us here started taking it for allergies, and then heard about the anti corona benefits. There’s no side effects, afaik. You can google it and see I’m not making shit up, bro.
I had one side affect when I tried taking it....got a headache, the same with my mom, that was five yrs ago when we both tried it. But now, she can take all she wants :bliss: and doesn't get the headache anymore. I'm going to try it again and see what happens.

Heard something about not getting money if on SS?
tracks with the presidents plan to cut SS and medicare spending.
Just planning on helping the grandkids with it.

after all according to the TX Lt Governor we oldsters would willingly die to prevent our grandkids from suffering financial hardship.
apparently they did outlaw lynching in TX.
Yeah.. I was a little surprised by his tone. (LT gov Texas)

I think the final plan to this mess is a financial reboot of world financial themes to something like crypto and existing debt..+ treasury in every form are simply canceled. -globally "poof". Meaning we would have plenty in SS in New system....i expect the conversion over next 10-15 years.- so don't go licking any poles/picking up any viruses!!

KY governor makes world news. From a UK source.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear slams patient who tested positive after attending a 'coronavirus party' for people in their 20s as Americans continue ignoring social distancing with more than HALF the population told to stay home
  • Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced the case at a press conference on Tuesday
  • Said person tested positive after attending 'coronavirus party' for young adults in their 20s
  • Blasted such gatherings as people across the country continue to ignore bans on large gathering
this was at one of the Daily 5PM updates he does 7 days a week. Broadcast live on KET.

Maybe it was the brand you were using? It’s helped with my sinus headaches, but I was only taking one at a time, instead of two like they recommend. So maybe try just one and see what happens.

So you get to be isolated at work. Lol

That’s exactly what’s going on, we like it, not a lot of Mexicans in the hospital crowding the lobby, ED, waiting room, visitors lobby, I’m not being racist ok, I love my Mexican brothers and sisters but they’re the 80% of the people that we take care of and that’s a fact, most are UNINSURED!

When Hispanics visit their love one in the hospital, they bring the whole family, I mean they bring 10-50 people and the hospital tolerated that for a long time until this pandemic....

I hope when this is all said and done, policies like, one visitor only, age limit, can’t come if you have any symptoms of the flu, cold, will be in place, but I doubt that!!!

Man........ we will have the CLEANEST and the SICKEST GENERATIONS TO COME IN THE WORLD! Just think about it, this pandemic woke people up, we will have NEAT FREAKS, nobody will be shaking people hands anymore, shit imagine MLB players, basketball players NO MORE HIGH FIVES soccer players are not so lucky either, I mean this are the people that touches their faces all the time lol! All sports will change for sure!

Even at work, people are obsessed with hand washing, I washed my hands so many times today even when I’m not supposed to wash my hands, I just found myself washing my hands lol!!!!

But with that being said, just got home, freeways are eerie, stores are shut, groceries are shut at 8 pm! Just crazy timessss

I’m off tomorrow and I’m gonna hit Costco for my sister..... here’s a perk that we get from them!

My gratitude to ALL health care workers.
I have it on high authority that this will all be over by Easter...

Dude.... As soon as CNN REPORTS IT? It’s done! Lol
Appreciate it brother, we had a ruled out CONVID-19 PT today, that was removed from isolation after 4 days, even though the dude presented symptoms of the flu, he never had elevated temp and the docs didn’t wanna test him for convid-19 because his temp never really hit the number where you get tested....

So.... umm this dude is hispanic, NO ENGLISH at all! He came with shortness of breath, chest pain, and difficulty urinating, the dude is alert oriented x2 he’s a little bit confused, he was in a TB room/negative pressure room, with a Foley catheter...

SputUM/phlegm lab results came out NEgative
X-ray negative
WBC was normal.....

So they took him off the DROPLET PRECAUTION, meaning you don’t have to wear a gown, mask, face shield?! so we were like
EY DOCTORs (RESIDENTS) (in trainee docs) are you guys sure about this, and of course they’re all by the book fuckers you know!!!! We were like, FUCK THIS, IM STILL GONNA WEAR THE PPES, WE DONT TRUST ANY FUCKING MEDICAL DOCTORS AT THIS TIME! So yeah!

So, ummm I tried withdrawing all my 403b and sweet baby jesus the requirements to justify the reason why im taking my money out is like buying a fucking HOUSE,,I mean there’s like 3 categories
Hardship due to convid
Hardship due to labor
Both options have to be justified with paper works,,,,,,,,, wtf
The last option is withdrawing my own money but I have to pay it back with 5.5% wtf! So I did take all my money, FUCK THE STOCK MARKET, now I owe them the amount I withdrew plus interest payable in 36 months....I mean, who the fuck comes up with all these shits?! REALLY! I don’t blame the homeless people! It’s so much easier to be fucking poor in America... OMG!!!!

The stuff he drank - Chloroquine Phosphate - used in salt water aquariums from my understanding as an amoebacide. It's somewhat similar in name only, with the addition of phosphoric acid as an added compound.

Probably thought to himself "if I drink this, I'll be immune to the virus"... No. It doesn't work that way.

You don't take antibiotics if you don't have a bacterial infection, it does no good, and actually is dangerous for the fact that should the bacteria be introduced post-medication, it can become resistant to the antibiotic.

A man thought aquarium cleaner with the same name as the anti-viral drug chloroquine would prevent coronavirus. It killed him.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/03/24/coronavirus-chloroquine-poisoning-death/

You’d have thought they’d have been smarter. It’s kind of sad.

I only mentioned chloroquine and quercetin since one article mentioned they have similar effects. Both are being studied now, but quercetin being a plant polyphenol can’t be patented.

They are dispensing the Chloroguinine already and some are saying it saved their lives. Read a report before of a guy who had a drastic turnaround in one hour.

i can see several groups getting mad,, the checks are targeted to the middle class who pay taxes. the anger should be at the bail out programs,, the shareholders should pay the price not the government

the rich,, (over $100k) get nothing- im fine with that
those already on govt assistance dont get anything- expect a lot of screaming
those on ss not likely to get anything unless they had a side job and paid taxes


$1,200 checks for all? What you need to know about the US coronavirus bailout

Are US taxpayers really going to get direct checks from the government?
The Republicans’ plan is for individuals to get up to $1,200 and married couples to get up to $2,400, including $500 for each child. The size of a check would diminish gradually for those whose income is above $75,000, while those earning more than $99,000 will not be getting any checks. The checks will be based on a household or individual’s 2018 tax return.

Is there bipartisan agreement on these checks?
No. Some Republicans say the money will be a quick way to boost the economy. “These recommendations would blunt the impact for most Americans and limit the damage to the US economy,” said Senator Chuck Grassley, Senate finance committee chairman.

But Democrats say it will not help struggling Americans in the long run. Instead, the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, said that “beefed-up unemployment insurance” is a more sustainable way to help those who need it most. “A single $1,000 check would help someone pay their landlord in March, but what happens after that?” he said.

Also, the Republicans’ plan to divvy out checks has been criticized for screwing over low-income earners. Those who earn more than $2,500 will get, at minimum, $600. As taxable income increases, so will the amount of the check until it reaches $75,000. At that point, the amount decreases until it reaches $99,000, at which point a person gets nothing.

That means a person whose taxable income is $75,000 will get a larger check than someone who makes $30,000.


I dont know about the statement above,, the way I read it the $30k person and the $70k person get the same $1200.

fwiw,, CNN thinks the checks wont be out until May,, too little too late if true,, in todays digital world,, I would expect 2 weeks max

SS is not govt assistance it is insurance.
A policy paid into most all my life.
I MAY live long enough to draw out more than I paid in, may.

AARP is probably already working up a class action law suit.

but if I do not get any money so be it. It was all earmarked to help grandchildren thru this.

ON the bakc to business by Easter thing:

We are in no way close to reaching the top of the curve with coivid 19 infections in the US.

if we back off now the curve will grow much higher than it would have if we continued the containment methods. And many states have just now enacted containment methods with many not having done so yet. disgusting.

Plus the Trump does not control the containment efforts the individual states do and Trump cannot order them to stop their efforts. The states most likely to end or not start containment efforts are the ones who support trump the most. Ohh well if they do then fewer Trump supporters come election time.

Our president is not the most stable president ever and I think we are seeing the beginning of his meltdown. He is suffering from Attention deficit disorder from not having adoring fans cheer him on at campaign rallies.

Yeah I know not the real meaning of ADD but it fits so well :)

i didnt say ss was govt assistance,, i noted them separate because they are part of a group of people not likely to have other income to appear on income tax data in order to qualify for the $1200

Hmm have small retirement checks but still does not boost us into taxable...

sounds like that thing was written to exclude SS recipients without specifically saying so.
How political of them.

Thanks for breaking it down @kross8 - Retired end of 2018-no income for 2019- Just started ss dec 2019. Just assumed these would somehow tie in to current data. Who knew-the gov't incompetance may be good for me. I do think the lower scale of wage workers need more though.

to tell you the truth,, im not even sure its official. if it is,, there will be another round in a month or so.

i dont like the company bail outs,, it steals opportunity away from companies who didn't mismanage their $$ who could have bought the parts cheap during bk

i dont think the govt should just throw money out there either,, instead they should focus on the recently laid off,, boost their unemployment bene's. many people are not/will not get laid off,, its bonus money for them,, well ok,, but bonus money can be more wisely spent... see below

i am even open to the idea of paying off the lowest 20% of mortgages provided those people have their credit flagged as not qualifying for any additional debts for 10 years. (bankers would hate me for this)

i am not open to paying off too much student loan debt,, they can have some taken off in bk is ok,, but these people need to learn that they must monitor their student loans/college costs relative to the jobs they can realistically get.. the market tells you your worth,, pay attention.

education,, a person can go to a 6-8 week course on real estate agent,, collect a portion of the 6% sales price and never incur any risk to a homebuyer paying way too much for their home. his job is to be a great salesman to the person with far more education,, get him to pay up.

i never understood why people got away from the standard metrix,, whatever you pay for an education,, you need a job that pays 2x that the first year.. otherwise you went to adult daycare. same metric works on housing,, you take your annual income x2 and that is the top of the market for you.. if you are married you only calculate the person making the most,, dont count the 2nd earners income.

Too much of our economy is based on debt to expect people to be responsible financially.
debt slaves think they are happy,, then suddenly that sparkly item has little value when cash is king.

debtfree for decades with no regrets,, poor as '***hit** growing up and young adult,, didn't like it much,, decided to watch people with money and learn a thing or 2. 3 . 4,, didn't always agree with them,, then i reminded myself which side of the table i was sitting on,,

Debt free here for over 15 years. Not even a car payment. Grew up poor as well. Middle labor calss father died when I was 16, large family went to work at 16 and worked ever since. Put myself thru tech school and worked up the ladder and kept continuing education going. Bought my own first car, etc.

Thanks, Trixy

Y'all are going to think I am lying, or crazy, but I swear I just had the strangest thing happen.

I made a pot of chicken soup for my dinner. Crumbled up some saltines in a Corelle bowl and then put soup in. Brought the bowl into the living room and sat here in my chair to eat my soup.

Finished with the soup, put my spoon in the bowl, sat it on my knee and looked back at this laptop, and the bowl exploded.

Exploded. I swear to you, I did not touch it, it wasn't hot, it wasn't leaning against anything, it did not fall. It just fucking blew up. Shards of glass went flying in every direction. Hubbs came in right quick and started gathering up the ragged pieces of glass and took them to the trash. Now I realize that I have got tiny, almost invisible, glass particles and slivers all over me.

So the nightgown goes directly into the washer and I go into the shower and I'll be back in a bit. But omg have you ever seen or heard of such a thing?

I've had other strange experiences that turned out to mean something. I kid you not. Is there something or someone that you are worried about or in very poor health? Have you been thinking about something that could warrant such a reaction? Underlying anger? Or in my last case, something I wasn't thinking about but felt a cool, deep chill come over my chest from my head. 3 minutes later the phone rang and my grandmother had passed away. We were close but distant since she was still in NY. But I've had objects do a few things, too. That bowl means something, Nada.

Scary-have a ton of corelle-had a bowl blow up in micro once-never micro
d one again. The shards are outright dangerous and very hard to clean up-reminded me of fiberglass. You are very lucky you did not get in eye,

LOL what a rubber stamp reason.

Well he’s prolly close to being a billionaire, so he really doesn’t need Juul.

I’m just so mad about the stupid propaganda about vaping and corona now.

There was an article of a young man who contracted the virus and was a vaper. He had such uncomfortable lung problems he couldn't vape and told the authorities to tell other vapers not to vape. Instead use the patch.

As I have said before the combination of things are have formed the perfect storm to pretty much kill vaping in the US.
1. The approaching May 12 deeming enforcement date.
2. The combination of that with the extended CNY and virus complications from China. This combined with suppliers letting their stocks dwindle so as not to get caught with a lot of stock they cannot sell.
3. The shutting of many/most vape shops in the US due to actions trying to stop the spread of the virus.
4. And not to forget the bad publicity of the vaping vitamin e thing.

Sad but I see no real way around it happening.

There will not be a whole lot left for the FDA to enforce after May 12.

I do not expect that to happen unless they ban smoking and you know that will not happen for a loooong time if ever here.
Too many people/businessess/govt make too much money off of it.
I mean our govt seems to be eager to put us at much higher virus risk just to get the money machine going.
