Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

We're not inoculating the animals though. If the vaccine is so safe and the virus is so deadly why arent animals dying in mass like the people seem to be?

People aren't dying in mass.

“In 2018, a total of 2,839,205 resident deaths were registered in the United States…” https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db355.htm

Compared to
"In 2020, approximately 3,358,814 deaths occurred in the United States."
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7014e1.htm

US population is about 326.7 million.

I have trouble putting numbers like that in perspective so I divide all sides by the same numbers until they are small enough for me to see the relationships. Roughly 28 and 33 out of 326.... or 9 and 11 out 126.

It is statistically significant but hardly in mass even if all the extra deaths were from covid. Which they aren't.

The media lied. I got my 2 free covis tests in the mail today from the government but I feel the same and they just said covid Is still here. How's that

I found this article interesting it states

By the end of 2021, more than 300 animals representing 15 different species contracted COVID-19, including hyenas, lions, tigers, snow leopards, gorillas, otters and deer.

I reckon it's mostly scaremongering to keep us controllable.

Definition of scaremonger:​

: one inclined to raise or excite alarms especially needlessly
: scare into

When you make everything about something else you dont see whats really going on. Magicians have been doing it for years. Its the art of distraction and slight of hand

Got word from the phone company today that if I dont upgrade theyre gonna shut my service off. They're offering me a free upgrade so we shall see what that is. I want the flip one from samsung but hubby said thats too much money. I loved my windows phone and hate this Android. I will not do apple though.

I'm sure someone can answer your dilemma but it probably won't be me.
I know we have had to replace phones twice over the years because the technology changed. I just started going to Walmart and getting a 'burner' phone of the same brand as my carrier. First time was an $80. 'smart phone' This time I splurged on the $120. name brand model.

I'm a graphic designer and I had a teacher in college tell me that all the industries use apple and you will never make it unless you learn how to use it. I told her apple is a baby computer and got dismissed from class. Every company ive worked for uses pcs amd2 not apples. Regardless of my one fued ive proved her wrong. So apple can suck it they produce crappy tech with a promise of an upgrade and the upgrade is you buy their new crap. Smart business model of you get people tp buy into it but they produce crap and they know it.
