You don’t need to be difficult here and question whether or not “he recovered” or “has returned to health”


I initially misread the press release, reread it, and edited my post.

What else can I do for you this evening?

Not that I am in to helping pedos, but delete the pics and search history when you come back in the country. Thet see Thailand and they are scoping you for kiddie fricking.

Take plenty of beach pictures for your coverstory.

Nothing. I missed your edit owning it


Allllthoughh, I think it’s noteworthy you misread the release in your head to turn a positive statement on his health to a negative one

I think its clear at some point everyone has biases that things will go one way or another.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A Cleveland Clinic spokesperson told 19 News the hospital system will have coronavirus new test kits within the next two to three days. Current lab testing takes two to seven days, and the new tests will take just hours to deliver positive or negative results. Cleveland Clinic is also in the planning process of different ways to test patients, and a drive-thru is one of them.

So Gobert felt sick for a few days and is already over it

Look, it’s a new virus, precautions should be taken. But everything out there is telling us it absolutely should not be something to panic about.



And the elderly man he was seated next to at a restaurant? Should he be panicked?

Yes, it's minor for the large majority of people. But each one of those people will spread it to 2-3 other people. If half of our population ends up contracting it, what do you think that's going to do to our elderly population? What about hospitals and clinics?

It's just such a selfish viewpoint to think, "eh, it's not going to frick me up so we're good".

I'm not sure why so many people are having difficulty comprehending this.

Welp now that it’s taken over everything I’ll jump onboard. here’s some tips:

From a friend at Mass General Hospital FYI:

Subject: Stanford Notes on Coronavirus
The new Coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days. How can you know if you are infected? By the time you have fever and/or cough and go to the hospital, the lung is usually 50% fibrosis.
Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning: Take a deep breath and hold it for more than 10 seconds. If you do this successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, there is no fibrosis in the lungs; it basically indicates no infection. In critical times, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air.
Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and then the lungs. That's very dangerous. Take care everyone and may the world recover from this Coronavirus soon.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS:
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold.
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees C. (About 77 degrees F.) It hates the Sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it goes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface, wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasize enough - drink plenty of water!

THE SYMPTOMS:
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

I have posted several examples of physicians talking about patients that feel bad, feel better, then feel bad again. I don’t know anything about Gobert’s status and obviously he is in the demographic that has been doing well. Just pointing out that with limited info, it might not be 100 percent that his illness is over.

What? Comprehending that old people get sick and die? When it’s the flu or pneumonia, no one cares apparently. At least not enough to react the way everyone is to covid19. I wonder why that is. Media coverage? Group think? Outrage syndrome?

In the quote you posted of me I literally verbatim said “precautions should be taken”

And you somehow completely ducking missed it, because you also missed my suggestion to not panic....

It’s spreading exponentially every day and is 10x more lethal than the flu. But 30,000 people die in car accidents so why is everyone freaking out bout this stupid disease?

Or are we assuming everyone of those was direct P2P transmission and not off of surfaces?

This is what is funny. 10x more lethal than something that isn't really that lethal.

depending on the year it’s as little as 3x flu death rate. 99.8 survival to 99.4.
