If everybody did just those would probably save 75% on our health care system. But I'm sure big Pharma will find opportunities.

Actually smoking is good for the Rona. You're less likely to contract it cuz of the more mucusy air passage ways. That's what I'm hearing from medical pros anyways.

How did Israel get so much vaccine already? They've vaccinated 50% of their population at the same time that the US has vaccinated 7% and Italy, France, and Germany have vaccinated 2%.

From what I've read former smokers suffer a 25% higher rate of death than non-smokers. Current smokers have a slightly lower rate. You take the good with the bad I guess.

Meh, you looked at one stat and decided all the relief checks were going to cars and not to rent and food. Obviously you don't look at all of the science or stats behind things on a forum that is compulsive on such things.

Cherry picking is your game, you belong in the politics forum bud.

From the Drs that I listen to it's as if smokers live in a more humid environment cuz of the nature of the body's reaction to smoking. There is a lower chance of contracting the disease under these conditions. I'm just going by Drs that I listen to, once they contract the disease I'm sure they suffer at a worse rate. I'm just relaying info here....

We should probably also mandate D3+Zinc and reduce the death rate 20% or whatever it would be.

Yeah totally wild how is this possible...

Israel population: 9mm x 50%= ~4.5mm
US population: 330mm x 7%= ~23mm

It looks like I found the answer to my own question.

Israel moves to head of vaccine queue, offering Pfizer access to country’s health-care database

This is good to hear from this article:

Quote:

The Israeli results show cause for hope, including preliminary findings that infection rates plummeted to near zero in 128,000 people who got two rounds of vaccine.

Pretty annoying (yet unsurprising) that this is the conclusion you arrived at.

I doubt anyone wants you “gone.” We just want you to pull your head out of your ass.

Come on Ray, this. I'd much rather see you defend(or try to) your shitty takes and maybe learn something, than just skulk away.

That wasn't the intent.

numbers in ca and LA are going down a ton! yay! but they are still absurdly high and things are opening back up??? wtf?? waaaay too early. and if the new more contagious variants hit us(they will. they are) and if they are resistant to the vaccine(which we aren't getting anyway) numbers are gonna go back up, and possibly very fast and very very high. like worse than we've already seen

Give me a break! Foootball probably should have already been outlawed. Football is already a ton more dangerous than this virus! Please provide a list of athletes who have died from the virus in any major sport, pro or college.

Every play in football is helment-to-helment for the linemen. Every 20 minutes or so a play is injured badly (and often times returned to the game). Every few games a player carted off the field due to life alerting injuries.

And you want to cancel the games now because of Covid?

What about people who ended up getting it from a college/professional athlete? Do you believe that no one died from catching it from an athlete?

Please provide a list.

Please provide a list.

How many college/professional athletes regularly hang out with elderly/very sick people?

Please furnish me with a comprehensive list.

What's more dangerous:

1. A 25 year old athlete/lineman getting into 30 helmet to helmet collisions in a game.

2. A 25 year old athlete having Covid and possibly spreading it to other in shape athletes.

Why do you think athletes only come into contact with other athletes?

Please provide a detailed list.

If Davante Adams wants to see his grandparents, then wear a mask and social distance (he should do that anyway).

If he wants to make out with an eight-three year old, then yes, he should do so after being tested negative and quarantined.
