Think you should go take a nice cold shower to cool yourself off a bit...

Yea. Maybe a glass of wine! Face it , we are not the scientists discussing. I think we all get pretty heated and do not post alot of stuff that is not allowed here. That's life!

I imagine this specific one will be deleted and the others left

Well maybe you can delete this. Because I think IMO IMO it's kind 0f over the edge. I take no sides.

I will unsubscribed. I call BS and trouble making on both of your parts.

I don't really understand how the health care system works in the USA.
Here in Europe and in the UK it's primarily a state system. The problem here is the state hasn't invest enough in the system and in certain countries, encouraged private concerns.
We, the voters, can't do much about disease. It's natural and it happens and has been happening throughput history. What we can do is try to ensure our health care systems are capable of responding to epidemics and as our populations life expectancy increases, take this into account in our health care provision.
Apparently there isn't a shortage of money. What there is is a shortage of commitment.
My hope is, although I believe it is a hope in vain, is that we will learn from this epidemic and invest in health care.
My view is still that the total lock downs being seen in many countries is not the right policy.
Better to isolate the most vulnerable to this virus and let those least likely to suffer from serious illness from the virus go to work. Many millions are likely to contract the virus but it is a life threatening disease to a comparatively small section of the population. These are the people we need to protect and from past experience and current medical knowledge we know who is in the high risk category.
There are lots of harrowing stories in the media already. There will no doubt be many more.
But, if one reads the statistics and the scientific evidence gathered so far, we are not all going to die from Covid-19.
China has a population of roughly 3.4 billion people out of which three thousand two hundred and eighty seven have died to date from Covid-19. This is a very small number relative to the population.
This is the current data.

I agree but don't think the US would be able to identify all at risk. Elderly people have survived it just fine, so it's not just old folks. People with existing health issues succumb mostly, but it's not clear if it's their conditions, or the meds they take to control their conditions that puts them at risk. The cardiac associations and at least some cardiologists are in denial that ACE inhibitors and ARBS increase risk of severe infection, but they are probably just trying to cover their ass because the evidence suggests that they very well could increase risk, and even Dr. Fauci has acknowledged as much and said it needs to be looked at closely.

Not fair on a forum.

Maybe it is just me but I miss the photos of pies. I am always down for some good food although my wife has grown weary of me asking her to make the various foods I have seen on BYC the past week or so.

Be ready. That attack came out of nowhere and that damage was done in mere minutes. At the time I had 36+ adult large fowl hens and one adult roo...that poor tiny little feller.

Oh wow that’s terrible. I’ll definitely be prepared. Although I thought if they were raised together it usually helped? But I’ll be ready. I can separate them if I have to too

If politics is okay, can I talk religion???
