    No, not at all. Fauci is not the only one to discredit hydroxychloroquine, a medication that my wife has a prescription for and takes daily. That's all well and good your doctor believes in for you if you contracted the Rona. But saying that everyone should or could take it is a blanket statement and not true at all. My wife had to go through a series of tests and have two other doctors go through the medications she is currently on before signing off to allow her to take it and this was a couple years ago long before the kung flu. What Fauci and others have constantly warned against are its side effects. It's been pretty simple, a lot of studies have shown that it is not a cure, if it was why didnt Herman Caine take it and come tell us about it today? Waiting for a vaccine to be developed that specifically targets the virus is a more logical approach than something proven to not work for all but a select few.

    FYI I ask about the study done at Henry Ford on Hydroxy from my friend who’s a doctor at Henry Ford and worker on covid floor.

    He has perscribed it l, but has stopped and Henry Fords infections disease department does not support the own study they wrote on hydroxy.

    There’s a lot of chatter about it, I just went and ask a doctor and got the information I needed.

    Well evidently I am an ageist a-hole. I avoid any employee under 30 at work. Call me on the phone do not come into my office to talk. Damn kids in their 20's going into bars on the weekends, are not giving me the covid.

    It was probably our idiot covid positive governor that gave it to him at the rally in Tulsa.

    Great, Spot me bro!

    We don't have to wear a masks but I would if it was necessary to keep the gyms open. I go between 5-6am so there are only 0ne or two people there typically. Its been pretty easy to distance. Owner says about 60-70% of the members are back.

    Facility gym open. 95% of the time I'm by myself. Get to work early before everyone else.

    Back in late May/early June called to have gutters quoted on the house. Earliest they could get to me was Aug. 4th.

    Got a call tonight that they are shutting down for 2 weeks due to a positive test result. Could tell the guy is younger and probably most of his crew as well. Bars and other things had opened up for a few weeks here.

    Problem I am having is believing him. Wasn't a call end of last week to confirm or anything. Have a feeling a lot of companies can use this as an excuse to not be able to meet their commitments. probably had a lot of rain days the past month and a half here. No way to call them out on it though, is what it is.

    As of mid-July

    • In the United States; the AVERAGE age of COVID-19 fatality is 80
    • Only 14 people under the age of 5 have died
    • Only 23 people between the ages of 5-15 have died
    • Less than 210 people between the the ages of 25-34 have died of the Chinese virus

    If you are under the age of 20, you have just as much likelihood to die from a lightning strike as to die from the Wuhan virus.

    PUSH BACK, live your lives. Go to work. Go to school.
    This virus poses nearly no long term risk to anyone under the age of 50.
