I think I'll take my medical advice from doctors and public health experts, not “certified behavioral analysts” who think contact tracing will rob me of my liberty and interview Ammon Bundy. Many of the earlier recommendations quoted in the article were rescinded or altered with more information. Information is great. Politicizing a public health issue is unhelpful and dangerous.

Good to know!

So, what did you think of the article?

I thought it was uninformed right-wing propaganda. Sorry

The oxygen level decrease claim has been debunked, hydroxychloraquine has underperformed and legitimate researchers have had trouble getting subjects in trials to study it further after all of the discussions in the news, the article quoted very early info from the CDC and WHO, etc. edited to correct spelling.

And here is how it happens. Alaskan had a colonoscopy last Friday. Mid week this week he/she (we're not quite sure) was notified that one of the nurses helping with the procedure tested positive for Covid 19. 'Al' immediately went into self quarantine away from spouse and family. Yesterday 'Al' became ill. Is it Covid 19 ? Don't know yet. I like 'Al'.

I really don't know. The outbreak in that summer camp in I believe Georgia is what I fear in our schools. Our kids are old with college age kids of their own. 2 have graduated college, 2 are in college, and one is a senior in high school. Here in NJ things have been better with folks following suggested guidelines until - lifeguards thought it was okay to have parties, someone thought a 700 person party was a good idea, someone thought a graduation celebration without precautions was fine - past several days have shown an uptick in cases here.

Some of the school districts around here are starting back on a hybrid schedule and have kids who are already testing positive, thus shutting the schools down on like day 2. Others are having staff test positive on the beginning teacher workdays and have to go all virtual now.
And still others keep pushing back the first day because they don't know what to do or are desperately trying to get tech and signal available to all kids in our rural areas.

No reason to apologize, I asked to hear your view on the article and you obliged! Thanks!

I did find out today that if you are carrying a firearm most Constitution Minded 2nd Amendment establishments will not require you to wear a mask. I don't wear a mask anyway but I was open carrying a Springfield 1911 45 ACP and the manager/cashier of my local Piggly Wiggly said it was OK for me not to wear a mask!

Love it!
