I actually LIVE here remember you damn idiot? What was happening was on local TV every day.

Tom, maybe you could get a job driving Uber! No more unemployment!

Yes. disease control is one acceptable measure.

You are and Aussy and your ideas do not match the American
Constitution.

Country has zip to do with it. The USA has denied their own citizen
entry one many occassions. You're just tool ignorant of the facts.

You are a twerp. You couldn't even bother to actually look up the things
that I've said and instead yelped your ignorance about a subject you are
totally ignorant of. That appears to be the effects of social media on
people like you - you don't actually need to know anything to have an
opinion.

IME/IEE, it is complete waste of time looking anything up for you as you
repeatedly demonstrate.

I will ask you again - why are you involved in a US group? Are you afraid that your Aussy friends would kick your ass over the fence if you dared to attend their bicycle forums and display your ignorance of everything?

Since when is this a US group?

So I'd like to get a direct answer, especially from Tom and from Andrew.

Tom: Do you really think COVID-19 is no worse than an ordinary seasonal flu?

Andrew: Do you really think COVID-19 is no worse than an ordinary
seasonal flu?

Of course, this is a discussion group. Others are very welcome to give
their opinion too.

BTW, our bike club now has its first member in intensive care on a
ventilator. I consider him a really good friend, one of the guys who
(almost) always came on my night rides. He's much younger than me and
has been a hell of a rider, a daily commuter, fast and high mileage.

COVID-19 is real and it is here like a plague. My mother-in-law is 98 and in a long-term, care facility. Eight people on her floor have died in the last month. Despite the staff taking measure to isolate everyone and maintain sterile procedures, she has now tested positive and is facing death, though she does not likely know it, thanks to her dementia. That's okay for her but not for her daughters. They have grasped the nettle and made arrangements for her cremation. They will have her ashes put in her favourite teapot and bury that.

The House of Commons is meeting off and on to the call of the Speaker as the situation requires. The members have come to grips with the restraints the public health emergency places on them and have adapted. It has been interesting to assist in the establishment and testing of procedures for a "virtual parliament."

Andrew - what do you suppose would happen if a person infected with the seasonal flu was introduced into the long term health care facility? It not only kills all of the same people that covid-19 does and usually more rapidly, but it is a danger to all age groups with children 5 and under, pregnant women and those who have been pregnant within the last 6 months most at danger.

I hope that your grandmother survives in good health. But people with the sorts of health problems that make them most susceptible to covid-19 can sometimes have heart failures from a hard sneeze.

This is not a US newsgroup. No where does US appears in the newsgroup
title.
