Hydroxychloroquine lowers death rate by 50%. Shame that the governor didn't have open mind more lives could have been truly saved.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

This is good, but I hope people don't buy into the hype thinking this will prevent them from getting infected in the first place. There's a lot of immunocompromised people who need hydroxychloroquine and we don't need another shortage of it again.audiophile wrote:https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... 365090002/

Re: Whitmer Misses The Mark
Just leaving this here to remind those of you who like to complain that it's not Whitmer, it's your kids. There are several photos that show it worse than this.
BTW, 90+ % of visitors to the sandbar are from downstate and will be returning home with COVID this week. Grand Traverse county has one of the lowest rates in the nation...

Exactly. However, older people are also at fault, according to the study I linked above.TC Talks wrote:Just leaving this here to remind those of you who like to complain that it's not Whitmer, it's your kids. There are several photos that show it worse than this.

There are plenty of Baby Boomers in that photo. When the sheriff handed out tickets a few years ago the ages range from 14 to 73.

Re: Whitmer Misses The Mark
90% will not be returning with Covid. That comment is just silly.

I agree, 90% are visitors. And some will be returning home with COVID.audiophile wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 5:40 pm90% will not be returning with Covid. That comment is just silly.

Re: Whitmer Misses The Mark
Stopped into a northern Michigan Walmart over the weekend. A good 80% of the shoppers were going mask free. Except in the check-out lines, few were practicing social distancing.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I don't know anywhere in Michigan about COVID parties other than hearing about it from Alabama.F-Squared wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 5:59 amCan you name of one instance where a "COVID party" has happened in the state of Michigan?

Don't forget that there's still some older people who are far-right Trump supporters who still believe that the virus is a hoax, that wearing masks is something the government is using to put us in line and that they shouldn't have to wear one, and that they think social distancing is military protocol that they're using to order us around. They exist. And that's why you can't blame the spread on any one demographic.

They are not social distancing, they are not wearing masks, they gather in large groups often, and then they visit their parents or grandparents while asymptomatic but contagious.
It was Gen-Z and millennials who were packed in like sardines at those bars in East Lansing and Royal Oak. Both businesses should be fined harshly for clearly ignoring capacity limitations.
Additionally, I recommend you both look at this article about a study conducted by the BBC about which demographics are contributing to the spread and how: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... estaurants
Here's one important excerpt from that:What we have found in this data is that adults aged 20-50 make most of their contacts in workplaces. If those of us who can work remotely start doing so now, it will contribute to lowering overall transmission in the population. Another important finding is that people over 65 – who are particularly at risk from severe Covid-19 illness – make over half of their contacts in other settings (not home, school or work), such as shops, restaurants and leisure centres.

Re: Whitmer Misses The Mark
What are you trying to say there skippy? Spit it out, don't be afraid.
And just take a look at covid case in Northern Michigan compared to citiots homes down state.
Counting all the assholes in the room I'm defiantly not alone.
Re: Whitmer Misses The Mark
Yeah it's only ever happened in Alabama. If it was anywhere else, I'm positive we would have heard about it.MasterB wrote:I don't know anywhere in Michigan about COVID parties other than hearing about it from Alabama.F-Squared wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 5:59 amCan you name of one instance where a "COVID party" has happened in the state of Michigan?

Re: Whitmer Misses The Mark
Most people in Northern Michigan tend to be Republicans and republicans tend to not like masks at the present time. So it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that walking into a Walmart up there would yield a lack of masks.RedMenace wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 12:54 pmStill waiting...
