More Covid 19

Ralph- what's an SFB?

Nah, humanity...
Of course the pax and the cruise line made the wrong decision and they should hang for it.
If we can help, should we, or should we not?

An acronym for someone who has fecal matter instead of cerebral matter.

In text speak it's s...for brains

Anyone on a yacht, maybe in the Med, could find themselves refused port entry in the coming months if/as panic sets in. Especially if not flagged in the country they want to enter. With limited fuel capacity what will happen then? What will happen here if boats transporting north this spring find the fuel docks in NJ and NY closed?

Can we expect minimum wage fuel dock workers to take those jobs this summer leaving themselves and their families exposed? In fact minimum wage workers in any field. Work one week, catch the virus and spend the next 2 or 3 weeks in hell, come out to quarantine and facing tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills with no insurance, then find no job waiting. Is the job worth it? Do we think the old and vulnerable business owners will take over those jobs and leave themselves exposed?

I have a home in western, PA……..possible vaccine for covid-19 from UPMC PIT. Works on mice ready for human trials. Watch news conference.

Before anybody gets their hopes up: “Testing in patients would typically require at least a year and probably longer,” Falo said. Then there's getting it out to the public. We still haven't gotten enough tests, PPE's or ventilators out to our medical professionals, much less just N-95 masks for the general public. So for those still alive in 2024 this might help.

Nicely said.

Oh please. Get real. Maybe you ve been landlocked too long. How the hell is anyone working a fuel dock get exposed ??? This is getting so silly.

hello... boats can dock at a fuel dock without assistance. They can pull the nozzle and fuel without coming within 10 feet of the poor minimum wage dock hand.

minimum wage ? Maybe cheap New Yorkers don’t tip but everytime i get fuel somewhere the fuel attendant gets a $20. That s hardly minimum wage.

Better to be realistic than to tell people to go "fill the churches" and party cause it's a "Hoax" and will "disappear like a miracle" in a couple of weeks only to kill more people. Only realism has a hope of keeping people alive. The seriousness of this cannot be over estimated. Tell me about the vaccine when you've proved it's effective and are ready to give it to me. Till then it's just more pie in the sky optimism that will make people careless and kill them. The other day I was told that my cancer surgery scheduled for later this month won't be happening in the foreseeable future. Don't have a heart attack or be injured and expect a hospital to help you. They're too busy. FEMA just ordered up 100,000 body bags and our leaders said they will consider it a success if only 240,000 American die. The world you knew 6 months ago is gone. We're at war.

I heard all the questions about rushed human trials and what about all the possible side effects ? What side effect could be worse than DEATH...………………… You could always get that second nose cut off and sell it!!!

An yes , just wanted to interject some good news and hope !

Is it your intention to continue to just bleed like an open wound on here? Really, it's just incessant griping. Anyone can do that. It has no value. Literally the only thing I found interesting is that apparently you visited a smoke shop wearing an N95 mask, which paints quite a mental picture.

Johnson & Johnson reported that they have one pretty much ready and will begin trials in short order. In humans before Fall.

The hoax is on those who believe the media telling you it was referenced as a hoax. Don't be lazy. If the media tells you something, go research it before buying in.

It was absolutely referenced as a hoax and it was said "just one guy from China" and "it will be done and over". The danger of that was we delayed taking steps. Now, talking optimism and pessimism, 100,000-240,000 deaths is optimism and based on sheltering in place in all parts of the country, which isn't being done. The pessimistic numbers are in the millions. We need to listen to the medical experts and scientists.
