I have a couple reliable OTC candidates. I know it’s not completely safe but risks are lower. Honestly they’ve been dancing in Atlanta through all of this. It wouldn’t surprise me if they hadn’t already been exposed.
I’m racking up on numbers now when I do go to clubs so I’ll have them for OTC. These dancers gotta make money still. Once november hits I’m done with clubs til they get a vaccine out tbh.
Yes. The danger is probably going to last at least another year, not gonna go that long without touching a woman. If I get it, I think I've got a 90+% chance of making a full recovery, and then I won't have to worry about it. And if I die, I won't have to worry about it then either. The clubs are pretty empty, I really only get close to who I get dances from, maybe 4 or 5 dancers per week. And if I stop getting stripped of cash, my income will pile up in the bank. Not a patriotic thing to do when we need consumer spending to get people back to work. I'm squeezing bums for the Red, White and Blue.
So far ive visited some clubs out if curiosity but I can't get into the new normal. My girl worked a few but she stopped and wants to wait a few months. Says it's too many girls and guys are way cheap
If clubs are open and similar I go. If they get stricter, I don't. Plenty of other things to do. Smoking weed and making waffles before golf is one .....
When I went in June, county website said 6 'infectious' people in county,
now it says 156.
Yeah, college brought our 2nd wave, 1st wave was just a ripple, it's gonna be a while for me.
And there's a lot of ground between kills you and 'full recovery', the 'brain fog' that a real percentage end up with is not funny. I'll wait, I hate waiting, but it is what it is.
I had some weird but mild cold and lingering cough way back in February. Ive been going to work every single week this year but not strip clubs. Going to go soon and see if my strange new allergy symptoms react to anything in the strip club. My body has allergy symptoms around certain people now. I sure hope Im not allergic to corona. Might be pushing my luck. I dont want to be subject to lab experiments in case I am.
A second wave might be coming. Or, it might not. Either way, deaths are way, way down. Partly because we’ve learned to protect those most at risk. Partly, because doctors are much more effective in treating.
I personally dont know anyone who has had nor anyone Ive been around. Makes me think maybe I had it already. If Im getting allergy symptoms from people who have it if thats what is causing it, then Ive been exposed over a dozen times since february. im currently having no allergy symptoms.
You can test for antibodies doesn’t have to be a mystery.
90% of my friends under 30 have had it already. Most every single one of them said it sucked bigly compared to the flu but none had any complications and all recovered quickly.
The first wave never ended, but instead was just temporarily delayed at astronomical expense because of the insane lockdowns. Here in FL they continue at a fairly steady clip, though positivity rates are now below 5%. As long as hospitals capacity and mortality rates don't get out of hand, the folks here seem fine with just living with it.
Now I'm not telling anyone how he should manage his personal exposure because it's different for everyone. Using FL again, the case rates for elderly have plummeted, which shows that they are doing a good job of protecting themselves. Other high risk people are also likely sitting it out. But for the rest, the risks are minimal, so life moves on.
Covid 19 is the biggest con job ever perpetrated in human history. If it wasn't hyped up into a big deal by the media most people wouldn't even know it existed, thats how statistically rare it is.
It is a good case study in the power of the media to set agendas and control what people think is important. A healthy, non-elderly person has a greater chance of dying or being seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident than suffering death or serious repercussions from this illness.

No, that's not true. According to Johns Hopkins the positivity rate in FL is 11.7% as of today, and there's an unmistakably upward trend lately:
I did some research and the discrepancy b/w Hopkins and FL (and Maryland) is that Hopkins uses the number of unique people tested whereas some of the other states use the total number of tests. For example if someone is in the hospital and gets tested 10 times, that would be counted as one test by Hopkins and 10 tests by Florida.
That's why MDs, epidemiologists , and Nobel Prize winners quote Hopkins. Because they know what they're doing.
Randumb, the numbers I quoted come straight from the FL database, which are the numbers reported to the CDC by FL. Johns Hopkins is heavily massaging the state data based upon their own estimates and biases and won't even clearly disclose what those adjustments are.
Johns Hopkins pulls all their data from "The COVID Tracking Project" and uses the same methodology for all 50 states.
The most important reason for the discrepancy is the Hopkins does not include repeat testing for the same person.: If JohnSmith reports testing on 10/13 then JohnSmith is excluded from the math on 10/14, 10/15, etc.. if repeat testing done.
Believe what you want, and you can continue to work backwards to find sources that agree with your pre-conceived conclusion. I'm not going to argue with you.
Randumb, I should add that one of the fatal flaws in the Hopkins approach is to ignore the passage of time. If someone gets tested monthly and comes up negative each month, each occurrence is a valuable piece of data because that person is still part of the population at each different point in time.
The Hopkins model, OTOH, chooses to exclude the cautious and instead only count those who choose to get tested for the first time at some late date, probably because they feel symptoms or believe that they may have been exposed. This is both bad science and bad math.

But it's a calculated risk like everything else in life.
now it says 156.

Its called a "scamdemic" for a reason.

I’m playing it safe, as I’m 56, and I need to make frequent visits to my mother in her mid 80’s - and I don’t want her to get sick.
