  1. ...not to by any means diminishing the need/vigilance to wear a mask, but there is no mention of other passengers, so one can only assume she was driving alone.....I'm a layperson and NOT a scientist so I cannot judge her discretion......thankfully she survived the crash..... NJ police say 'excessive wearing' of coronavirus mask contributed to driver passing out, crashing car By Robert Gearty | Fox News A New Jersey woman who crashed her car into a power pole may have passed out after wearing an N95 coronavirus mask behind the wheel for several hours, police said. The woman was taken to a local hospital with a complaint of pain after Thursday’s accident on a two-lane road, the Lincoln Park Police Department said. “The crash is believed to have resulted from the driver wearing an N95 mask for several hours and subsequently passing out behind the wheel due to insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake,” the department said on Facebook Friday. The department offered further explanation in a subsequent post, noting the "overwhelming response" to its original statement. https://www.foxnews.com/us/nj-police-say-excessive-wearing-of-n95-coronavirus-mask-contributed-to-woman-passing-out-crashing-car
  2. ....just found out two of my cousins have Covid-19....both are around 70 and both reside in nursing homes......one is in VA and in good health other than Alzheimers.....tested positive but has been asymptomatic for 7 days so far....the other is in Rochester, but she is in terrible health with COPD (HEAVY smoker), diabetes as well as severe obesity.....got the info second hand but apparently she was sent to ICU, somehow recovered and was returned to nursing home......and apparently contracted it again (?) resulting in a second trip to ICU with doctor's telling her brother 20% chance of survival (she stuck to DNR and refused ventilator).....supposed to be discharged on Monday............
  3. ...not sure how he has become the NYS media darling......with the population density in NYC coupled by the traveler influx worldwide, this city was WOEFULLY unprepared, NOT for Covid-19 which is an anomaly (unreasonable expectation IMO), but something "remotely similar" BUT on a far less percentage basis......with MILLIONS crammed in on top of each other, shouldn't there be some foresight as far as pro-active planning?.....even fundamental supplies were not available in NYS stockpiles which is incomprehensible.....so is the blame game valid?....
  4. ....you need a PhD to digest the information being propulgated.....studies galore with hugely varying sample sizes......conclusions published BEFORE a nominal peer review......if, IF I read correctly, CARES funding through Medicare pays hospitals $39,000 for Covid-19 related deaths versus $13,000.....how does THAT skew the death numerator?......at the same time with testing dramatically increasing, isn't is possible for asympomatics to exponentially increase the denominator?.....if so, the mortality rate rapidly diminishes......BUT...at the same time, does the country's reactive measures become the "Cry Wolf Syndrome"?.....Fauci says their could be two prong implications with the "normal" flu season being joined by the "Covid-19 season"....clear as mud IMO.....
  5. ...here is the Monroe County NY (greater Rochester) mortality rate......out of 112 deaths, 109 were age 60 or greater which is 97.3 percent (no mention of preexisting medical conditions though)....
  6. ...if it is a state run plan (ie. NY Saves), you only were entitled to a NYS deduction with nothing at the Federal level......in NYS, you can take a distribution (ie. leftover funds) at your normal ordinary income tax rate....I can double check, but I do not think there is a penalty..................
  7. ...best "landing spot"?......better be ONLY for a 30 minute layover............
  8. ...perhaps "social distancing requirements", tailor made, leave him in the parking lot.....
  9. ...so you're saying "by design" overrules "inadvertent"?.......can you be calling the "bastians of our democracy" into question, implying politicization/corrupution/illegal activity??....can't be.....not in the US.....
  10. ......I am certainly in a conundrum regardless of who or what party, position, etc.....BUT am interested in YOUR perspective as a highly valued female poster....certainly there have been MAJOR inhibitions for women coming forward for a multitude of silencing reasons which in their defense sucks....at the same time, should there be or perhaps NOT, a semblance of "statute of limitations" ?.....perhaps they exist legally but in the salacious feeding frenzy of real time media currently, is digging up dirt from 20, 30 or 35 years ago even relevant?....sure TBD'ers are not running for office, but can you imagine a TBD expose' of posters' past (I was an altar boy so I am easily excluded-COUGH)??.....
  11. ...how much NEVER makes it to market to artificially inflate prices?.....if I remember correctly, the Feds have HUGE underground caverns in Kansas (?? not sure) where they warehouse tremendous dairy stock piles....look at Auto Nation, scurrilously filing multiple PPP applications under their several EIN's and grabbing $77 MILLION.....isn't floating the idea of a potential "nationwide food supply chain shortage" the PERFECT STORM to raise hysteria?....is food the "next toilet paper"?......hmmmmm.....
  12. ...restaurants appear to be reopening in some states at a percentage less than their capacity (25-50%)......what is your perspective of outdoor venues doing something similar as well as requiring mask protection?.....sure there is an inherent risk, but without relaxing social distancing paraemters as well as requiring masks, does the "outdoor venue" somewhat mitigate the risk?..
  13. ...yes he was...Lindell acquitted himself well at OBD IMO...."honorable" mention to Booth Lustig and Bennie Ricardo.....
  14. ...and CERTAINLY we are NOT a litigious society with quick buck ambulance chasers going after deep pockets......naw, NO WAY......
  15. ...OF COURSE......Shifty runs for his 11th term in November......having won in 2018 with 78%, I'd bet he goes WELL north of 80% in honor of his yeoman's effort.....
  16. ...if you have an immediate need and are located in WNY, the Rochester folks are making/selling them.......and very reasonable.....I can post the entire article if a subscription is necessary to see the vendors........ Where to buy face masks made by Rochester artists and tailors Mary Chao, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 4:47 a.m. ET April 28, 2020 | Updated 2:13 p.m. ET April 28, 2020 With family members who are essential workers at area hospitals, Fatima Bayram understands the need for protective gear. When the family's tailor shop, Thimble Tailor, had to close as a nonessential business, she and her brother Tufan decided to use their family's tailoring skills to make face masks. Together, they donated 500 masks to Rochester General Hospital and another 500 to University of Rochester Medical Center. They also began selling them through phone orders, with appointments for touchless pickups. The demand is even higher now as Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order that all people wear face coverings while in public as the state combats the coronavirus pandemic. Thimble Tailor is among the Rochester-area tailors and artists who are making face masks for sale. Here are some places to find Rochester-made face coverings. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/04/28/where-to-buy-face-masks-in-rochester-ny-during-coronavirus-outbreak/3032723001/
  17. ....you know the drill..."it depends what the definition of IS is...."........parsing is an art form.........
  18. ...bet Weinstein and Epstein approve of her message......although perhaps Epstein can't answer for himself (COUGH)...... Hillary Clinton endorses Joe Biden: 'I am thrilled to be part of your campaign' By Paul Steinhauser | Fox News Hillary Clinton on Tuesday endorsed Joe Biden for president. The former first lady, senator from New York, secretary of state, and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee backed Biden as she teamed up with the former vice president during a Biden campaign virtual town hall. “I want to add my voice to the many who have endorsed you to be our president,” Clinton said. “Just think of what a difference it would make right now if we had a president who not only listened to the science, put fact over fiction, but brought us together, showed the kind of compassion and caring that we need from our president and which Joe Biden has been exemplifying throughout his entire life,” Clinton emphasized. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hillary-clinton-backs-biden-for-president
  19. ....if his exemption is still in play as #91 IMO.......
  20. ...hard not to believe the Moss signing as well as the UDFA FB (and St'er) leave Wade and DiMarco on the outside looking in......
  21. ...wait 'til home unis feature khaki pants........stay tuned...........
  22. ...the kid is hardly alone coming from a difficult background.....the rewarding thing to me is when they recognize this and their first move with new found riches is to buy Mom a new car or house........pretty damn impressive to me.....
  23. ....wanting to "reset the market, looking for Mack type money" ain't happenin' IMO.......
  24. ...no way could I ever buy that you are "surprised"......the Progressives are hell bent on reigning in the world's perennial "big bully", relegating the US to the middle of the pack in a true lesson of humiliation.......in the meantime, they are perfectly fine with China's ongoing campaign of proliferation to dominate the world in a decade....go figure.....
