Don’t care what side of the mask aisle you are on, I like Tuscaloosa’s FB page moderator. This is funny.

But OH has more than double the population of Maryland.  So according to the data you posted, Ohio is actually doing a little better.

Exactly my point.

I was more saying throughout all of this MD and Ohio have had around the same numbers.

Per capita its not even close.  Likely it has more to do with the geographical location of the two states and the proximity of the outbreak early on and the movement of people.

Everyone wants to carve out some kind of political edge.  Its going to run its course.

What's your take on the Oxford vaccine?

And if you do a little looking you will see that Fauci and the others are pushing Moderna vaccine......a company that NIH and the government owns part of this.


Follow the money and you will find the reason why we are locked down.

Does the vaccine have a 0.1% chance of working or a 0.001% chance? Asking for a friend...

It wont be a "vaccine" but it will be a type of therapeutic that created the proper immune response.  Most people die from this virus because of their own immune response is so traumatic.  Its called the cytokine storm.

That's only the case for most healthier, young individuals who die.

The elderly/at-risk population dies from covid-affected things like pneumonia and heart failure, not the "cytokine storm".

Where do you think all the fluid comes from when you die from pneumonia?

No. 

Ohio has over 9k cases and MD has over 5k the last 7 or so days. 

https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases

Also, MD has about 500 people in the hospital and Ohio has over 1,000 in the hospital currently.

https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases



So Ohio has 1,000 in the hospital .......... 11 people per county.



Staggering.  Lock everything down.

Pneumonia is typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection, dumbass.

https://aging.com/what-causes-pneumonia-in-the-elderly/

"Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that affects the tiny air sacs known as alveoli. In some cases, the alveoli become inflamed as a result of infection, which makes breathing difficult and makes the lungs function less effectively to oxygenate our blood. In other cases, the alveoli become infected and fill up with fluid such as pus."

Thank you for making my point.  People get pneumonia from other shit.  Its not a stand alone illness,  that inflammation and fluid comes from the bodies response to a foreign substance in the lungs.

The responses to this tweet are hilarious.  A lot of mental gymnasitcs going on trying to justify a certain type of large gathering (protests) vs another (concerts, funerals, etc).

Went by 2 local schools on my run today, saw a soccer team and a football team.  No masks on anyone even though they are supposed to have them when not exercising, no social distancing at all.


My question is why isnt there 1,000 HS kids sick right now in Ohio?  THey have been at sports since the last week of May.

Went into the office for the first time in over 4 months today to have some software installed on my computer and pick up some stuff off my desk. It was weird. Maybe 5 employees total on the 4 floors we occupy.

Mine officially closed last week. I did a final clean out of my desk on Friday. Surreal feeling. I have no idea when I'm going back.

I heard from someone that covid only infects 0.001% of the population which amounts to about 116 Ohioans so statistically they won't get sick.

Move the decimal point over two spaces...probably 100,000 kids have been exposed already, since they are young and don't have underlying conditions, the most harm they can do is be an asymptotic transmitter

Is there a 0.1% or a 0.001% chance of infection for them?
