I Hate Covid-19

[DarrellGoode]

Who's with me? I want to go to a track.

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

You could always take drive out to PIR and remember the some of the good times spent there. Am hearing she's in pretty bad shape now. So sad.

[NeedforLMspeed]

Funny how you got people traveling state to state for local racing and such but when professional sports starts they have to build in a 2 week quarantine for everyone before anything gets started.

[zyoung25]

With a long weekend, me and my wife packed up and headed south. I'm sitting in Applebees as I type this post. We're going racing after we leave here.

[JimBo]

I hate this sh!t too! I had a new grandson born 3 weeks a go and I if i go to the races tonight I have to self quarantine for two weeks! it su@ks!

[Jking24]

Fake news it's all a crock. Yes it's real yes we all need to wash our hands. The elderly and high risk need to be taking extra precautions. Outside of that the rest is all bull. They are working really hard to drive this country into a recession for no other reason than political bull$&%$. I live in one of the worst states and when you look at the numbers it doesn't make a little bit of sense. Their are 3200 and change cases in my county and 142 people have died. That sounds really bad until i mention the fact that their are 687,000 people in my county

[JimBo]

Jking24 if it is Fake news and a crock why do we all need to wash our hands? I don't understand you people that think this is political BS. Wake up dude it's real.

[Jking24]

Wake up dude it's real.Did you read the part where i said its real. I said it's not wday their making it out to be. You go ahead and beleive what you want and stay inside and never go out again the rest of us will be living our lives. They literally have the hospitals listing virtually every death as "covid" because their giving them stimulus money for any covid death. I didn't say it was a hoax and it doesn't exist i said the numbers don't support the reaction but you go ahead and keep watching cnn

[Rajflyboy]

But it sure is nice that Lucas Oil is putting on great shows and also putting the video feed on their Facebook page. I’m very thankful for their efforts and some normalcy on their shows.

California governor says first responders will suffer if they don't get federal relief money but yet want to give out $75 million in assistance to illegal immigrants. It's all about holding out for emergency federal funding which will eventually be used to replace out control spending and replenish pension programs. Why should federal tax payers have to pay for poorly run states.

About 1.6 out of every 328 people in the country has gotten it and 6% of cases in the US has resulted in death, all in about 3 months of it being in the country. Yeah, it's not some certain death wish for everyone. I'm 22 and perfectly healthy, but my wife has respiratory problems, we live with her grandma who has diabetes and a whorl of other health problems. So I may be fine, but I have to watch out for the people I live with. My wife, mom, and mother-in-law are all health care workers in a state where it's picking up pretty quickly. And I have no idea where you people read that hospitals are being bribed to report deaths as covid-related lol. Also, the disease is transmitted through respiration, so while washing your hands is still important, it's more about the air around you which is why masks are being required.

The mask do not prevent you from getting it. It is not in the air around you the mask is too prevent you from spreading it because it spreads through small droplets it is not a air borne disease. And nine out of ten doctors will tell you the mask is pretty well useless because the average person isn't smart enough to use the mask correctly. So it may even be making it worse. Again beleive what you want and if you think that .5 %of the population being infected is worth shutting down a country and driving the nation into a recession that will certainly cause more deaths you are part of the problem. Don't bother responding to this because I'm done bickering with a clear example of what's wrong with this country

[epjfan]

I'm with you jking that IS what is wrong with this country

[Krooser]

They have elderly believing that their spouse can infect their partner even if neither has been outside the home for two months. I know an 89 year old lady that stopped us from saying hi in her driveway


Scared the virus will migrate 100 feet into her home. She's been inside since March....kids bring her canned goods and she disinfects everything.

Sad...

[CIRF]

There is a bright spot or two for some who post here. Approximately 30% of all the known covid-19 cases in the United States that have died are elderly. Wishes granted. Some who post here consider the elderly expendable and this virus is one way to more effectively bring that expendability to fruition. Even going so far as to say the elderly are in the way and do nothing more than drive up health care costs for the young important people. They, the elderly, occupy facilities and have equipment dedicated to them that should be more effectively used to save the younger, more important people. Although the virus isn't totally specific to the mortality of the elderly who are in the way and put a burden on the young important people, it's a good start.

We should applaud the 30% mortality rate consisting of the elderly, and don't you forget it!

[mod95]

I'm not in favor of completely locking down the entire country, but you can thank the lock downs and limitations for the number not being considerably higher than it is. I do agree that the masks don't do much when they're not used correctly, and the masks aren't 100% effective when used properly, but they certainly help. I don't know what you mean about the masks making anything worse, it's not like they can transmit the virus any quicker. I think it very well could be something that could run its course and affect pretty much everyone, but the quicker people wise up and just follow safer habits then the quicker it'll all be over. I notice a correlation between those who complain about the virus dragging on and those that do not follow any of the rules.

[NorthAlabama]

Covid 19 is my least concern which I dislike (hate shows anger). I can't wait till 2040 when I can sit on my lazy godless (government forced) butt and join the NAASWM (straight white male) and voice "I'm a victim also and I demand my Socialist check". Covid 19 is being used by some to destroy our God given rights and freedom, replacing it with man's civil rights.

I notice a correlation between those who complain about the virus dragging on and those that do not follow any of the rules.The mask sole purpose is to prevent the person who is wearing it from spreading the virus. If said person contaminates their mask then they touch it witch pretty much every person does. And do not disinfect their hands they now potentially have it on their hands so when you walk into a store and the person behind the counter can't understand you so you pull your mask down to help communication. then finish your transaction and head out to your vehicle you are potentially spreading the virus along the way. Doctors wear mask they also follow a particular procedure and dispose of the mask after that single use. They have been wearing mask in China and Japan for years before any of this ever started and disease spreads like wild fire their

[50Dixon50]

I refuse to live under this fear anymore this is the United states of America no mask or anything else thinking about starting a protest who's with me

[Rajflyboy]

It should be people’s choice what to do. When to wear masks, go out to eat, etc etc

If you go to a race and someone 6 foot away from you has covid 19 and you then get it and all most die from being down wind when they cough or sneeze, can you sue the track or that infected person for medical expenses?

[TS FAN]

Enough of this. IMO. Time for Country to open and time to go to the races. Wash your hands and don't touch your face. Don't shake hands. Stay out of small enclosed areas. Rules to live by from the sane virus experts. If you are concerned stay home. Canceling out door sports and activities is nonsense. As I said, enough of this!!!! And yes, some of this is absolutely political. Want to guess which party is practicing their rule with( the iron fist tactics) for when they get back in power??

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

Be interesting to see after this holiday weekend with lots of people out and about, will the numbers of cases go back up? Sure hope not. Don't think this country will survive another shutdown although there are some that would love to see that happen.

[mcarter815]

We’re closing in on 100,000 people dead. There is roughly the equivalent of the World Trade Center attack happening every day due to covid-19.

How many MILLIONS have died from the various forms of flu in this country?......ill wait!

[mcarter815]

How many people does the flu kill over a span of four or five months?

[Barbecueboy]

80 thousand in 2018.....closing in on 100 thousand.

In the us.

[Barbecueboy]

And according to the cdc about 600 thousand annual deaths from inluenza worldwide.....give or take.

[Barbecueboy]

I just looked at the top us cities in terms of number of reported covid deaths....

New York...23,282
New Jersey...11,081
Illinois...4,790
Mass.....6,304
California...3708
Penn.....5,096
Michigan...5,223

Wonder what all these states have in common that make it so bad there?

[Barbecueboy]

Strange that 5 very democratic states alone make up over 1/2 of that number......wonder why so many are reported in those states?

I was going to say population, but two of the largest states in the country with some of the heaviest population centers aren't even close to being in the top 5.

Like CIRF said, people are okay with throwing old people to the wolves.

[NorthAlabama]

Did ya'll see where a Baltimore professor is in trouble where he was selling (stealing from the bio lab at the University) viruses and info to visa students from China. Guess where the China students were from? The reporter stated the Professor was getting paid $50,000 a month, also with payouts on certain info up to $1.5 million. One student got caught with vials hidden in a sock at the airport and is in prison in the U.S.. One female student was in the China army but got back to China in time with bio info and military info. So did the virus come from bats or from the Baltimore University bio lab?

[TS FAN]

CDC estimates 61,000 in the US for 2018-2019 flu deaths.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

12k-61k annually per the CDC. What number does Covid-19 have to hit before you take it seriously? 100,000? 500,000? 1,000,000?

[Barbecueboy]

Hearing that you caught it ,were miserable for a week or so and then made a full recovery like the other 97% would be a great starting point number for me.

And btw....check those cdc numbers again on influenza deaths in the US and worldwide.

Thanks for the well-thought, rationale post. Those are few and far between on this forum.

[mcarter815]

A million still isn't outside the realm of possibility if places open up too soon. A million people wouldn't have to die if we did what they did in New Zealand and South Korea.

[Rajflyboy]

We have no clue how bad Covid is or is not. We can’t trust the numbers that we see posted. Those could easily be manipulated. Masks not needed, masks needed, covid on surfaces and now they say it’s not on surfaces. We won’t know until we read books about it 8 years from now.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

A million still isn't outside the realm of possibility if places open up too soon. A million people wouldn't have to die if we did what they did in New Zealand and South Korea.
On the plus side, death rates will be much lower in 3 to 4 years.

[mcarter815]

Japan has shown that the government doesn’t have to shut down everything as long as the population takes self responsibility seriously. Unfortunately, Americans can’t even handle being asked to wear a mask.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I thought that was Sweden?

[mcarter815]

Sweden has attempted it, too, but Japan has been more successful. Sweden appears to have botched the protecting long term care centers part. Last I saw was Sweden was at 400 deaths/million and Japan is at 6 deaths/million.

[Barbecueboy]

And fwiw.....a million people won't die from it in the US ......no matter how many, if's, but's,mights and maybe's you put in there.

Still isn't outside the Realm of possibility, lol......like you running out of toilet paper anytime soon or like Biden getting elected over trump?like those realms???

[Barbecueboy]

Japan also has strict control over what the media reports......Not much confusion there on the message.

You can't even turn on your local news and get the same message depending on their political affiliations.

[Barbecueboy]

Strange the cut and paste queens won't comment on why the disproportionate numbers of deaths being reported are coming from states with democratic leadership.

Is it the reporting that's bad, the people that are doing bad things under the leadership or the leadership itself that's causing this???

Um no I didn't see the pictures, I just rode my bike down there and looked for myself.....just for kicks and giggles, those newscasts.....who owns those particular stations you're talking about?

And btw....I live relatively close to one of the largest most visited tourist beaches on the east coast and probably the country......it was definitely busier than the last 3 months and in some cases needed to be monitored but the other 98 percent of the beaches for 20 miles in both directions were non issues and people being responsible, what little bit of people there actually were compared to normal.

No offense, but you guys that gulp that news hook line and sinker should probably just get out and ride around a little.

Healthy adults under 45 have a .02% chance of death. They didn't die. They may have killed grandma, but they are fine.

[Barbecueboy]

Or they may not have and grandma died of other things old people die from......cancer, copd, emphysema,etc. just didn't step aside and let covid do all the killing.

I don't disagree.

I tried to find out the rate of death on those other things during this pandemic period and from a very quick bit of research it appears those causes of death in the elderly have declined

I want to read more before forming my opinion as to why that is....

Healthy adults under 45 have a .02% chance of death. They didn't die. They may have killed grandma, but they are fine.

.02% isn't nothing. It only takes 50 million cases at .02% fatality rate to reach 1 million deaths. Wearing a mask should be treated like wearing a seatbelt right now.

Yeah, I do. I also wear a helmet when I ride a motorcycle and I wear a NecksGen, gloves, nomex hood, and use a full containment seat when I race.

What percentage of the US population do you think we need to have antibodies in order to reach herd immunity. I haven't heard anything less than 60% and that's wildly conservative. With the high R value, it's likely closer to 80-90%.

Let's say it's 60% to reach herd immunity. US population is ~330 million. 330 million * .6 = 198 million people needing to be infected to reach herd immunity. Now let's say that it's a blanket .02% fatality rate, which we know is only true for the younger people. 198 million * .02 = 3.96 million deaths.

Let's say it's 60% to reach herd immunity. US population is ~330 million. 330 million * .6 = 198 million people needing to be infected to reach herd immunity. Now let's say that it's a blanket .02% fatality rate, which we know is only true for the younger people. 198 million * .02 = 3.96 million deaths.

Its not worth my time to look up your old posts, but you fell in line with the libtards predicting 2.4 million deaths!

You were close! smh

If the answer that you give is anything other than you'd rather DIE free than live a slave then you ain't worth saving.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I think your calculator is broken.

You are right. It's 10,000. I feel so ashamed. I misplaced my decimal.

198 million x .02/100 = 39600

10,000......2,400,000

Same difference, right?

[zyoung25]

198 million x .02/100 = 39600

Yours, mine, and everyone else that puts this equation in their calculator will need a trash can near by to drop their calculator in 🤣

[WisWildManFan]

.02% isn't nothing. It only takes 50 million cases at .02% fatality rate to reach 1 million deaths. Wearing a mask should be treated like wearing a seatbelt right now.I got 10,000 based on these numbers. 50,000,000 x .0002

[bullring]

2% is .02
.02% is .0002

I don't wear a mask nor a seatbelt and I'm still alive.

No wonder why you thought this was going to be the end of the world lol

Every time I see his post I think of the song from R. E. M...........with him banging on the keyboard teaching us about arithmetic, state law and schooling everyone in art of debate.

All the while that song blaring in the background turned up to eleven.

Oh and lib McCarter while you are in the cupboard don't forget your seat belt and mask. The sky is falling you better hurry. For me, I take measures like washing my hands and not touching my face as was recommended by the sane virus experts. Other than that I fought a war as many others have to protect my freedom. That is spelled FREEDOM!!! I don't want whinny butt liberals telling me what to do

[racedad11]

Speaking of touching your face. Where I work has started making us wear masks since we went back a couple weeks ago. all kinds of new rules. All of them the dumbest thing ive ever heard. I bet I touch my face 300 more times in those 8 hours than I ever have. Soon as I hit the door its gone

The only .02 Mccarter knows, is that is the worth of his opinion!(pennies of course)

[bullring]

His opinion is worth .02% which is 0.0002

I don't wear a mask nor a seatbelt and I'm still alive.

And some people shoot heroin and live. Then one day they OD and die.

Where do you come up with these awful comparisons ?

[jr29]

Sir 1 percent is 1.0 Now start all over and get this right, and throw your liberal bias out the window!100 percent is 100.0 get it?

1% is .01. Think of it like pennies. .01 is 1 cent. Save up 100 of them little jokers and voila....you have $1.00

[TS FAN]

Disease is not killing a lot of people. It is killing some people. Many older unhealthy people. Many things cause people to die. Sure the disease is a problem and we should be cautious, but the Libs are making an election platform at of it pretending that they are protecting life, while the Reps are killing people and don't care. As usual, the left throws out their bull carp lies and the lib followers obey. I choose freedom as I said. I don't need anyone telling me how to live.

It's killed over 100,000. That's a lot to me.
And Icare a great deal for the older people in my family. I respect them enough to limit my activity around them and to wear a mask when I have to be around them. No one is telling me to. It's a choice I make because I care about these folks.
And I ain't listening to anything about the left throwing out lies and followers obeying. Not after the right keeps lining up with the president after his nonsense through this whole thing.

No. You are the one who I corrected. You don't know how to convert percentages to decimals.

I know math sir, I tried to explain this on someone else's terms. That should be obvious to an objective person.

But you don't know anything about "objective' do you?

Now you just keep on telling me I'm wrong, which I'm sure you will..

[jr29]

I got you with the percentage to decimal thing. You tried to learn someone else something when you didn't know what you were talking about.
