    That is interesting and would explain how my son got sick and NOBODY on his basketball team did, which I still can’t figure out.

    Come on down and visit...know plenty of trees and even where some animals are...admittedly, public land is hammered, but before rifle season its (warm, but) not too badly pressured.

    I tell you man. I got that bad flu strain in 2009. I was in great shape back then and it had me to my knees. I have never been that sick in my life. Lost 20lbs in a month. Lung capacity diminished. When all was said and done I couldn't jog more than 200 yds without exhaustion. I'd imagine some of these people experiencing covid19 that are suffering feel the same way. It is awful.

    Apparently has something to do with the virus has to be at a certain load to transmit through exhalation. They think kid's immune systems by and large keep it in check below that level.

    How funny would it be if they figured out that the MMR vaccination that kids have to get before public school actually inhibits COVID infections? Like to see the look on these anti--vaxxers faces.

    you say that; but then how do you explain that over 50% of the people in the US will become infected with an STD at some point in their life?

    ...other than to blame toilet seats.

    The vaccine from oxford is months ahead of everyone else. The lead doc even had her triplets daughters as part of the trial.

    USA invested an insane amount in the company and vaccine to get first doses. Yes I believe this vaccine will be to market by 2021 first qrt.

    Why do I believe this? This is what Trump is really good at, getting things done quickly and pushing folks to get it done and taking a gamble and know when to take said gamble.

    Coin shortage? I am going to call BS on that. "They" want us to just use out debit cards for everything anybody else wonder why that is?

    so for several days now the story of the 30 year old from San Antonio dying from C-19 after having attended a Corona Party has been all over national news...

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/12/us/30-year-old-covid-party-death.html

    except now even the NYT is beginning to question the veracity. But of course the updated/corrected version of the story is not told...or when it is, it's on page 12.

    I say ya'll and I've never lived south of Indiana. I also say ain't . Ain't is so much easier to say than "Is it not"...ain't it?

    "They" most certainly don't want you to use your debit card- they want you to use your CREDIT card. Then they can track what you buy and also they bank (literally) on you not paying it off in full.
    ...but debit will do as a distant second choice rather than cash.

    I was in Harbor Freight to pick up a cheap tarp yesterday and this guy in front of me tried to pay with cash and they were not going to give him change. He was POd, and rightfully so. They were trying to get him to at least round up "for charity." He literally said "Eff that, I'm poor- why you think I'm in here buying your cheap ass tools?" Cashier calls the manager over the intercom and I bumped over to the other cashier and got out of there before it was resolved.

    There must be some invisible line from which below (south) people use the phrase "Y'all". I've never used it nor anybody I grew up with. When someone does use it, around here, we all turn our heads and ask "where are you from?".

    Couple days ago I made a purchase at the local hardware store. When the clerk mumbled something about rounding up I used the "No I'm poor" excuse as well.

    Even better yet.. I'll go back to writing out checks so I don't need change! I bet that will slow the lanes down even more!

    Oh good lord, I can't stand those who right checks, I especially love it when one does so in self-checkout, which at that point is not self-checkout because NOW ONE NEEDS ASSISTANCE.

    I'd rather say y'all than yous guys. Drove me nuts when I lived in New York. "Hey yous guys". Y'all will always be more grammatically correct.
