Covid 19 and sports

I would expact NY and Caly to be in the lime light, They all believe that the world revolves around them, have so since there was a TV audience. Why isn’t Atlanta, Dallas and Maimi in the news and have a 24 hour Cuomo hot line? All international hubs as NY. Hmmmmmmmmm.

I’m calling it as I sees it

Not sure about those-it probably comes out of contact with China. I read today that Italy does more business with China than most other countries and has been advised against their trade infatuations withe “the red dragon”. As of yesterday 80000 infections and 8000 deaths or at an incredible 10 percent. This comes from the :Epoch: news letter. That’s all you can do “call it like u sees dem”

Nope… the science says one vaccine will work. That’s a great thing!

I wonder if it’s the salt water in large oceans? Washington, California and NewYork. I’m waiting for the Statue of Liberty to get a runny nose… all disaster movies smash the lady.

It is a great thing but the jury is still out-you can’t pick and choose what opinion fits your desires-there is plenty of work left to be done

It’s clear though how it affects liberals and conservatives. Conservatives want to work and not be shut-ins doing nothing. Liberals love this because they get free money and closer to their socialist utopian society.

Does anybody really believe the numbers of reported infections and deaths in China? I don’t for a minute. I also don’t trust numbers coming from the World Health Organization. You can’t trust any information coming from China and in general I don’t trust international organizations… China’s numbers haven’t moved much in weeks and they are putting out the narrative that they have things under control. I don’t believe it because they put great controls on the outflow of information. There were around 80k infections in late Feb. with around 3200 deaths and now about 81k infections and not many more deaths. I would suspect their numbers are far greater than that and far greater than ours. China is an extremely densely populated country.

CNN is never correct about anything and yet you go to an airport and it is the only network that is on in the terminals… You go to other public gathering places that broadcast news and it is nearly always CNN. So why do their ratings always stink? Does anybody actually watch CNN from the comfort of their own home?

If you remember in 2000 CNN nearly got Gore elected by calling Florida before the votes in the western panhandle were counted. Those people were in a the central time zone rather than the eastern time zone and voted overwhelmingly for Bush. CNN was premature and their call probably cost Bush some votes in Florida because some people hearing their garbage on TV probably decided to not vote. Roger Ailes of Fox actually said it was too early to call Florida and he was correct…

I would expect you are right

Too bad-years ago CNN used to be reliable-now Epoch Times and Fox are the only ones I follow

MSNBC is just as bad as The Communist News Network. Fox has turned out to be more correct than any others and that’s because while they have commentary as well, they actually give both sides of the news.

And, China never gives accurate information. They are Communists. Why would they? And, Russia only has 800 people with the virus? Ya, right…

Miami just closed down.

Seattle is a very large destination for asians, because of the tech.

Portland whole different world. Their policies are to blame, my daughter lives there and tells me some weird decisions they make.

Cali is because of its vacation destination.

Atlanta, that is an interesting, why not higher numbers?

Did you see the report about taking the blood of survivors of the virus and get the antibodies and give it to the ones that currently has it?

The anti bodies is supposed to help give the body increased immunity.

Most of the major areas are blue states. Most likely this is a lightening bolt for liberals to wake up and remember their God :grinning:

Yep! JWs won’t go for it… So far, Hydroxochloroquine-azythromiocin mix is working very well. Just have to get Governors to allow it. Without FDA trials that take 10 years, Governors don’t like it.

I was waiting for that to happen.
One thing I can’t wrap my head around is why when we have examples of countries like So Korea and Taiwan that the US is not testing the heck out of suspects. In Utah, they act like it is a sacred thing and won’t test unless you fit all the symptoms.

Explain why everyone should be tested except it would shownthat 10 times the reported amount infected meaning the death rate is closer to that of the flu.

Is he getting re-assigned? I ask, because I know of several with no health problems who have been out less than six months who are not being re-assigned, as promised by the Church. Their missions are over. Granted, placing tens of thousands of foreign missionaries in stateside missions is a logistical nightmare, even with the early release of stateside missionaries (21 months for elders).

One girl, a girl from a former ward, was in the last actual MTC group, slated to go to Nebraska Omaha. A Family Services counselor (not MTC presidency or even MTC staff) met with her district and told them they could choose to go home and be released or to go into the field, but if they chose that, they probably would be sent home soon, anyway. They were strongly urged to choose to be released. Not surprisingly, since it was put to them that way, most chose to go home and be released. She has been an emotional wreck and is devastated. I know this, because I had asked her mother if she was already there (the Church had said they were going to send them early and close the MTC). I wanted to write her a letter, and needed her first address in the mission (I used to be her bishop; she graduated with my son).

Luckily, my son is still in Norway (he’s been out six months). They are leaving Europe, Eastern Europe, Australia/New Zealand, and Taiwan (must be really walled off from China! :slight_smile: ) open for missionaries now. They are being quarantined, but are still able to do quite a bit. My son is working with a Norwegian/Hungarian young lady over Facebook who wants to talk about Bible manuscripts and the Book of Mormon. She approached them (maintaining the 2 meter Norwegian distance) when they were out and about.

This is simple math. The larger the denominator the smaller the percentage. Good grief!
