That's a pretty hard spike right there... New Jersey Department of Health I do like their 'weather map in motion' flu tracker though.... Let's me know which way to run There it is. Hospitals are bastards. I'm thinking that of we don't attack now, it will be too late and the hospitals will wipe us out. And they won't expect it. How is that for strategy?

I know he doesn't smile much And he is extremely successful at his job. Its probably part and parcel with the good things he does as a coach. Again idk but I do know that i could have played for him and won multiple championships if I had the talent. That is almost guaranteed.

At the professional level it's not a 'game' and certainly not an arena where you get bonus points for being more 'fair' than your opponents any more. And he is extremely good at what he does. That's what 'outside the rules' does.....forces you to choose for yourself whether you admire the genius, or find contempt in feeling that it fails against the 'intent' of what those rules were 'supposed' to cover.....I've felt both ways about him in the past...

Have never had the flu shot in my adult life. I've had the Polio vaccine about a half dozen times, to no avail! And have traveled halfway around the world, including many of the true shitholes, and so FAR, so FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 It's starting to seem like this flu-bug is the Captain Tripps from Steven King's The Stand. It's a bit surreal going shopping and seeing people wearing surgical masks and spraying each other in the face with Lysol and stuff. Driving down the road and passing people wearing surgical masks etc. Fear is a huge motivator for people. The hand sanitizer companies, the companies making a (30% effective maybe) flu shot, surgical mask makers and etc. are raking in big bucks while creating more deadly mutations of the flu virus each year by trying to kill the variation that is here now. In really, truly, bad news, the world really is ending today. I found a gray/white hair in my beard! The world is over! It's all over!

noonereal Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 15 minutes ago, HawgGoneIt said: (30% effective maybe) this years, as I posted, was estimated at 10% effective I have since read optimistic claims of maybe 20% I am pleased to hear folks are wearing masks but the theory is the virus is to small for all but medical grade to be a help. I have seen no one wearing a mask. Alcohol is very effective in killing the flu so alcohol wipes or hand sanitizes with alcohol is very prudent. People need to stay home when sick, with any contagious illness but instead we give awards for perfect attendance in school and try to bullies sick employees to come in.
