Shouldn't that isolation include the internet?

We may not have gotten along over the years, but I do wish you well. Just a note, I was in perfect health until I reached 65. Frequently genetics takes over. Be careful, antibodies may or not provide lasting mmunity. Jury is still out.

I'm 64, tested positive for antibodies. It's FAR from a death sentence

Times they are a changing. Young men had high doses of fortitude.

I have a friend who lives in Buffalo Point which straddles the US/Canada border he took his dog to an American vet and was not in contact with anyone as the vet removed the dog from his car.

He had to self-quarantine for 14 days upon his return and actually had numerous calls from the Feds in Ottawa to check on his quarantining he returned to the vet to pick up medications for his dog and again was told to quarantine for an additional 14 days.

And after more calls to check to make sure he was at home during quarantine the RCMP showed up at his door to enforce the order.
Had he not been home at the time I'm thinking he would have received a big fine or maybe even issued a warrant for his arrest.

Cuomo would probably send them to an old folks home as punishment.

How do you get antibody test?

Congrats! You walked through it. Did you suspect anything?

Just to note new stats in Arizona shows a

800% increase by those that are under 25
400% increase for those that 25-40
Even for those to 65
and a DROP of 30% for those over 65.

So those that are younger are clearly not being as safe, or because of economic impacts must work.

This would explain the decrease in death rate to number of positives. Healthier people are getting this.

Now they could spread it, which they are, but I think this works more towards a balance and livable situation where people are working but not killing elderly.

If you are over 65 or have health issues you really should be staying in your house as much as possible. This is not going away anytime soon.

Let's get out and live our lives like one big Saturday night.
After all, "it's just like the flu and it's not going to get me"

Haven't I heard that somewhere before?
Oh wait.....yes......it was on PA-OTG.
A liberal hoax fueled by the sensationalist MSM.

Time for a check of the old scoreboard......120K and rising.

You heard from BLM as well. ALL OVER the country.
But I see you failed to whine about THEM.

Hypocrite!

But let me point out, hcap in particular and all of your lefties in general HAVE CHANGED THE METRIC. Used to be total cases, number of deaths. hcap updated us EVERY DAY.

NOW it has changed to NEW cases. Well a BIG DUH. WE are testing far more than ever. So let's use SCIENCE, boys. Apple to apples.

How many test and how many positives back then and how many test and how many positives now? And what is the death rate then and now.

You try another lock down, this time it will be WORKING people out with their guns and not just the Atlanta anarchists.

No matter what the issue, hcap is nothing but a big mouthed alarmist. Afraid of everything he hears about. He is a 100% waste to time. Put him on IGNORE and maybe he will go away.

As to PPE, I was referring to gloves and masks, but clean uniforms help as well. We use PPE where appropriate and where requested. The point I was trying to make is that the virus isn't as contagious as you are envisioning. It is contagious and more so than the flu, but my point is that wearing masks 24/7 isn't necessary. The "droplets in the air" has become a mythical thing. Casual conversation produces far fewer droplets than you might imagine versus screaming and coughing/sneezing.

Thanks for answering tucker6 and sharing your perspectives.

That is me.
I go out to breakfast (drive thru), the lake to read my paper, cp races, and the grocery store. I wear a mask at all times. I social distance. Biggest threat I took as hair cut two weeks ago. So I am now past that quarantine. Anyone else notice once you get a haircut,, your mask keeps falling down?

There is NO NEED for anyone to avoid life on my account.
I am more than able to take care of myself without killing the economy. hcap needs to grow a set I have no doubt he is not in danger - I am SURE anyone who sees him automatically social distances far more than 6 feet!
