And when you add $30k for a covid death under cares? How many thousand times $30k???
No elective surgery is $100k. Geez. I don’t even know how to respond without being overly dramatic.
This article was in Flagpole Athens. Read the comments. No wonder things are so screwed up.
The governor has voided local governments mandatory mask ordinances.
Idk y'all I think the effectiveness of masks is kind of obvious and mandating mask wearing is the quickest way to 90+% mask usage.
I wear mine anytime I go inside or can't maintain 6 ft of distance outside. Thats in Travis County TX where its mandated. Idk tho y'all there are several counties in GA w/ a higher per capita covid infection rate than here in Austin.
I just don't want Georgia to become the next Texas or Florida :(
Go Dawgs!
anxiously waiting people to pick this one apart in 3...2...1....
Orlando Health in Florida reported a 98% positive rate for their tests to the offical state reporting agency’s number tally. They were questioned and said it was 9.4% and was unsure how the mistake was made. Many others are reporting near 100% positive rates for their tests in Florida.
This is #fakenews
And a viral link, courtesy of a 0 poster. Can one of the mods take it (and him) down?
This has been discussed earlier.
IMO Not significant, if any, impact on overall numbers.
Good article on Vitamin D published yesterday. Drop down to 5.8 - Respiratory viral infection and Covid 19

I’m curious why you don’t consider the Henry Ford trial as showing benefit for HCQ usage. it has even been peer reviewed.
Isn’t that backwards? Elective surgeries were halted very early on, so as not to overwhelm...most hospitals were not overwhelmed..so then hospitals use COVID cases and deaths for months to attempt to make up the revenue???
Elective surgeries shut down by Governors, might I add. Furthering the incentive for hospital administrators to stick it to the gov’t
This is what I thought. Hospitals are obviously trying to take advantage of Covid incentives.
@Canedawg2140 Would you clarify what your relative meant? If “what” doesn’t turn soon, then “it” will get messy.
was the opinion you stated your own, or were you repeating what other people say and the Fact that followed was to contradict the opinion?
I don’t really know anyone who doesn’t think this is pretty widespread. Most people I know think this was around longer than we’ve been told.
I personally think this is VERY widespread. All you have to do is look at the case distribution in Georgia. With only a few exceptions, which are mostly counties with smaller populations, the percentage of statewide cases in each county largely mirrors the percentage of the statewide population in each county. The news media would have you believe Atlanta is a “hotspot” but the percentage of cases here is actually a little less than the percentage of the states population. This thing doesn’t have anywhere left to spread.
That thing was shredded in peer review for being deeply flawed. It wasn't randomized for one and patients given HCQ were also more likely to be given steroids.
I found one study on Vit D and Covid particularly compelling. Granted, it was a small study. Perhaps that is what @YaleDawg meant when he said the data was “weak.” Nonetheless, when 100% of the subjects in ICU <75 years of age come back as vitamin D deficient then you have to take a deeper look ASAP.
Countries below 35 degrees latitude have suffered lower fatality rates. The ☀️ is good medicine.
I agree, I live in the Jacksonville area and during the "lockdown" I never saw a slow down. Stores crowded, Home Depot crowded and no masks. Now everyone I see is wearing a mask and the numbers are rising. What gives?
One of the Mayo Clinic Doctors I mentioned, was interviewed by a Jacksonville TV station but it never aired.
They're all based on correlations and never address confounding variables. Something like 35% of adults are vitamin D deficient and 50% are insufficient in America. If vitamin D was playing a major role I'd expect our numbers to be worse. Could it have an effect? Sure. Will supplements stop COVID-19? Probably not.
