    Among my siblings, same flu/virus; 4 stuffy noses, and one severe bronchitis.......I was the only one who needed medical attention.

    Still today, people with just a runny nose scares me.

    I agree totally. I made the point during 2020 that the rate of death was spectacularly low. As science now proves.

    The dumbest display we saw on 4/28/ 21 was a room holding many hundreds occupied by 200 masked law makers all having been vaccinated. What the hell did they get vaccinated for?

    I served our armed forces in the Army and when I was in charge of a platoon, I managed to get severe bronchitis and this in 1962. The Army did not quarantine the rest of the troops in the company I was then in. For two days in the Army hospital, I was not able to eat anything. I was knocked out most of the time due to the bronchitis.

    I do not know why my platoon was not also infected but it was not.

    The Army doctor managed to keep me hospitalized for 2 weeks.

    What is your data?

    Every poster has an opinion. Those supporting Biden come up with the worst of them.

    There is Democratic party math and then there is the actual true math. As you proved very well.

    I am in the high risk group and yet despite being around 3 recovered family members diagnosed with CV19, I never even got a runny nose nor a fever. I now am vaccinated fully.

    Yes, but science doesn't matter unless Big Business and Big Government say so.

    “Abstract

    There were 3 influenza pandemics in the 20th century, and there has been 1 so far in the 21st century. Local, national, and international health authorities regularly update their plans for mitigating the next influenza pandemic in light of the latest available evidence on the effectiveness of various control measures in reducing transmission. Here, we review the evidence base on the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical personal protective measures and environmental hygiene measures in nonhealthcare settings and discuss their potential inclusion in pandemic plans. Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza. We similarly found limited evidence on the effectiveness of improved hygiene and environmental cleaning. We identified several major knowledge gaps requiring further research, most fundamentally an improved characterization of the modes of person-to-person transmission.”

    So you admittedly do not work off of actual statics, but use your wife for your information.

    My daughter is a nurse and since CV19 hit hard, where she lives only 1 death total.

    I never said any such thing, I said I do not watch TV news. Does not keep me from reading.

    Well, when you work in a county with less people that the city my wife works in, you get less cases.

    Not to mention that Hawaii has some of the most strict COVID restriction in the country.

    3 family members were diagnosed as having CV 19. The child had no symptoms. Parents described it similar to the flu.

    All are well and I do not know of a single case they passed to others.

    All seem very healthy and the father is working for a living.

    You told us your wife is your prime source of CV19 information. It caused me to comment my nurse daughter reports only 1 death in the past 16 months.
    Your case appears to be based on city dwellers.

    Kauai is one island. Hawaii has something in the area of 6 islands or so.

    Primary, not only. Learn what words mean.

    Yes, one island that can easily stop people from coming to it and spreading COVID. It is an outlier.

    Yes we will, there are many long term side effects that are showing up in people that had it.

    Same here.....not able to eat anything, mainly chicken soup, and I was knowcked out most of the time.

    Before becoming an adult, every year our family doctor drove to my farm, and gave me a shot of something in the butt.

    So you're not a Demonkkkrat, yet you received the jab? I just want to be clear for the Demonkkkrats who claim that it's "those damn Republicans" who aren't getting the jab...

    And for those same people, I have a Demonkkkrat friend who is choosing to not get the jab... Is she a part of "those damn Republicans" by any chance?

    Rather than argue, I prefer to post facts.

    A COVID-19 vaccine, designed to prevent the COVID-19 disease, is the best hope for ending the pandemic. We know there are still many questions and concerns about these vaccines. That’s why Saint Alphonsus Health System is committed to keeping you and our communities informed and educated as major developments occur.

    There are many questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. We’ve heard you and put together a list of answers to the most asked questions.

    Tammy Lundstrom, M.D., J.D., Trinity Health senior vice president, and chief medical officer, discusses new Johnson and Johnson vaccine and pandemic outlook in this video interview with Cheddar.

    For specific vaccine information for Idaho visit coronavirus.idaho.gov and for Oregon visit govstatus.egov.com.

    If you are unable to schedule online or need additional information please call 1-888-578-2684.

    Trump prepaid for our vaccines. Take advantage of what Trump did for America.

    Did Trump use his own money for this or did he use our money?

    I am a registered Republican. I once was a very loyal Demonkkkrat.

    I apologize sincerely for the damage I did when I was a Demonkkkrat. (recovered in time for the 1980 election of Reagan.)

    Trump partly paid from revenues he generated for America. A full 47 percent of the public do not pay operating costs of the Government in income taxes.

    Why are you constantly an antiTrumper?

    Ask how much Biden has paid for the vaccines. Do you think he has yet spent anything of his money?

    So he paid for my vaccine with my money. Damn nice of him.

    Because of how bad of a president he turned out to be.

    When I was able to eat, it was the regular hospital in the Army fare. When you are ill, food is the last thing I was thinking about.

    Also the Army had literally gave me vaccinations for everything I believed then.
