Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

I actually think WE want the same thing. We both want clarity. You donā€™t have to inflate actual numbers to distort what they mean. Numbers donā€™t always give a complete picture. I get nervous when someone gives me numbers then says here is what you need to know. Like THEY actually know whatā€™s best for me.

For example: When did anyone know early on what % of deaths/infections were happening in nursing homes?

Failing/forgetting to report to the press is one thing, but to hide things is another. The sad thing is, is that it happens most of the time.

I get the impression that if I said it stands to reason that the sky is blue, someone would chime in to explain that blue skies are a fallacy and that Iā€™ve fallen for a blue-sky conspiracy hoax.

DUDE

Itā€™s black

:beer:

The sky is blue because the almighty one loves Penn State, everybody knows that :blush:
LOL

Youā€™re one of them. :smiley:

Some days the sky is actually orange

Any idea which bridge that is?

Looks to me like the Bay Bridge from the SF side looking toward Angel Island

Itā€™s the Bidwell Bar Bridge in Oroville.

Some discussion about where the picture was taken from:

EDIT
Oops, erlebo beat me to it.

Thanks everyone!

Sky is just a reflection of your own world :confounded:

Hank, it does look similar to the Bay Bridge, but fortunately, Angel Island didnā€™t catch fire, as far as I know.

Awesome picture! When are they going to make a ā€œBackdraftā€ kind of movie about the firefighters out there? Feel bad for the people out there, wish the idiots in charge would prepare better for the fires that happen every single year

>Angel Island
Yep, bad guess on my part. I thought maybe I was seeinge electric lights filtered through the orange air.
Seen one old design suspension bridge, youā€™ve seen them all.

I was told long ago, in the Usenet days, that the best way to get correct information on the Internet is to post what you think and await correction.
Works for me.

Makes sense to me. Some folks donā€™t like being corrected though.

How is it possible that some people never got corona from a sick person living in the same house? They even took a test that showed no
history or sign of corona, while the sick people were tested positive.

I hear multiple people talking about not getting sick at all while their relatives were sick with corona. They didnā€™t isolate and even drinking from the same cup. This supposedly happened before the lockdown and mask requirement in early 2020.

Anecdotal evidence is not good evidence.

Yeah Iā€™ve wondered that too. Iā€™ve gone to restaurants, stores, flown on planes, and been around huge crowds of people where no one is wearing masks and I feel great. But Iā€™m a generally healthy person. I think itā€™s the people who are unhealthy to begin with who are mostly at risk. But to qualify that, Iā€™m in IT and know nothing about health, medicine, biology, or a thousand other things
