          But these posts are ridiculous if they're an act, really pathetic if they're earnest.

          I know I can just ignore things I don't like to read, but I would rather read something smart than ignore something stupid.

          Post smarter.
          Please.
          Thanks in advance.
          Lol what a prude.

            NEW YORK (AP) — Riverdale Nursing Home in the Bronx appears, on paper, to have escaped the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, with an official state count of just four deaths in its 146-bed facility.


            New York’s coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, already among the highest in the nation, could actually be a significant undercount. Unlike every other state with major outbreaks, New York only counts residents who died on nursing home property and not those who were transported to hospitals and died there.

            That statistic could add thousands to the state’s official care home death toll of just over 6,600. But so far the administration of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo has refused to divulge the number, leading to speculation the state is manipulating the figures to make it appear it is doing a better than other states and to make a tragic situation less dire.
            In another briefing last month, he touted New York’s percentage ranking as 35th in the nation. “Go talk to 34 other states first. Go talk to the Republican states now — Florida, Texas, Arizona — ask them what is happening in nursing homes. It’s all politics.”
            Yikes, nevermind the questionable decisions and lack of preparedness from Cuomo, now he's not willing to divulge the true number of nursing home deaths. Despicable but not unheard of from a Democrat governor.

              Cuomo is a grandstanding loon.

If taken in sufficiently small enough doses, your body is able to build up a tolerance to the virus in some sort of systemic desensitization, similar to taking allergy shots.
                Previous vaccines and masks may hold down Covid-19, some researchers say

                Gandhi's team found masks make a difference.

                "What the mask does is really reduce the amount of virus that you get in, if you do get infected," she said. "And by reducing that ... you have a lower dose, you're able to manage it, you're able to have a calm response and you have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all."
                Masks help reduce the amount of virus your body takes in, and a smaller dose might be something your immune system can fight off.

                Also, some people just have stronger immune systems than others. But what I didn't realize is that prior vaccinations can play into the strength of the immune system generally, not just specifically to what that particular vaccine protects against. If that's the case, I should be golden. I'm probably in the top 1% of people for getting vaccines.

Prior to one of my overseas missions the medic overlooked my history, and they gave me extras I didn't really need. I was determined to double check their work after that, but I guess maybe it's a good thing to keep the immune system charged up.

                        Yes I am. But that would have required me to foresee their losing my records, and then to have brought them to the yearly medical event. I did scan in my shot record after that so I could produce them as needed.

                        They eventually found my records a couple of years later and had to merge them together. I think it's all electronic now, but they still make mistakes when reviewing what shits to give.

                          In a COVID-ridden world, it's hard to give as many shits as one once gave. I don't judge them.
