Coronavirus Epidemic, Part 2

[dsgrey]

I get billed for fluoride and my insurance company says they don’t cover it. The dental office always writes it off. They say that’s the just the way they do it.

Yep, my employer has thousands of retail locations and we've spent well over $200 million for PPE related items from March thru April. No idea what we've spent in May nor beyond. We're just eating the cost and not passing it along to the franchisee owners or customers. I can only imagine the backlash if we did. We won't make our 2020 numbers so no raises or bonuses next year.

They had a big fly over tribute today for the “front line” people fighting this epic Covid 19 made up bullshit.
They flew the B1 and some 130s over the hospitals where they may have had 1 patient there and 2 or 3 nurses looking after them and then they flew over the police department.. You know,.. they have to pay tribute to the assholes who stepped all over our rights during this whole thing, bullying businesses and people with tyrannical threats...
what a damn waste of money...

All the “front line” BS is just marketing.


As far as cost, the Air Force and Navy have budgets for airshows that have been cancelled and like all their other funding if they don’t spend it they’ll lose it.

I don’t blame them for finding a way to save their budget. I blame the system that’s so fucked up they have to burn the money somehow.

Now, if you are fully against burning tax money for air shows in the first place then I doubt any of that matters. And I can’t really give a good reason why you’d be wrong.

While that could be part of it, these units are going to fly for training anyway. It doesn't take much more effort to fly over a hospital or whatever else.

DoD was supposed to move away from the "use it or lose it" mentality and to some extent it has. But...it still pops up way too often...

My take on the "epidemic" is that it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be. Thinking about the fact that it effects the elderly the most, I have to ask myself, how many would have died if it was even a lesser virus? The infirm are just that, susceptible to sickness. Although it's novel, the country never shut down for other so called novel sicknesses. If hospitals and doctors are claiming every death is due to coronavirus if they test positive, is it really worse than the flu? How many contracted the virus while dying from some other disease?

Money plays into the factor also. Is it not an incentive to claim someone died of coronavirus when a hospital can receive $13,000 per person if it is? I'm not buying the numbers, especially when we were told that we can't eradicate the virus, but we need to flatten the curve (meaning that hospitals don't get overrun). Now it's we need to get a vaccine to open the country fully. I'm not a conspiracy type person, but something doesn't smell right about this whole thing.

Dems are using every relief bill as an opportunity to sneak in BS that would never stand a chance at any other time.

They are continually claiming Trump has failed in responding while doing everything in their power to prolong the suffering. The mainstream media carrying the water as always with multiple reasons from “fear gets rating” to the fact that they mostly leftists propaganda machines.

Rs aren’t innocent in this mess, but the Dems are doing everything they can to try and use this as a way to get rid of Trump and turn the US in to a socialist nation

Mayor Ron would do well to take the same approach. Last night he listed some new deaths and said "Corona-related" or some such nonsense. I still say they'll never sort out the true numbers from this thing. Never.

Who do you think pushes the use it or lose it justification? Not the agency department or division. They would all love to be good stewards and save when possible to roll it over.

I hated the end of fiscal year wish list shit.

Any publicity is good publicity?

Not against events and airshows..I worked my share of PR events when i was active duty.
They serve a purpose.

The 4 of them, standing beside each other, no masks on, with 10k masks stacked behind them.
Advertising the 10k mask donation....

People should be wary of taking more than the recommended daily dosage as found in multivitamins without medical supervision. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and is stored in the liver unlike water soluble vitamins which are excreted by the body. Fat soluble vitamins can reach toxic levels if taken to excess.

Fat soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K.

Will I die if I eat polar bear liver?

Thank you for this.
