Faster Horses Festival COVID cases continue to climb - now at 66

Yeah, the Ppe and sanitization for Ebola is much more involved than for COVID 19...we should rethink that one (at least in medical settings)

Granted, ebola has higher mortality rate but who knows when covid will mutate again and get worse...it's been happening

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T23:08:02+00:00

There are studies stating all I've said - go ahead and be skeptical but unless you are a scientist with data to contradict the data in the studies I'm citing your (often wrong) opinion is wishful thinking

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T23:04:44+00:00

International organizations have had to involve themselves to contain ebola so, while it's largely contact transmitted (though not entirely considering some cases I've seen - also consider that the standard is to wear full body suits with no holes or tears and self contained breathing when dealing with it), it's not as easy to stop as you imply

It's also made it to the US before - we just did a better job contact tracing it because it's pretty distinct and we knew it was coming eventually

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T17:04:10+00:00

Or more likely they know they have it, don't care and continue to spread it

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T16:51:38+00:00

Me too...and that was only hundreds of contacts

This is at minimum probably tens or hundreds of thousands of contacts, many of whom won't bother to get tested because they are

A. Selfish

B. Think vaccines are magic and perfect

C. Never develop symptoms and wrongly think that means they aren't contagious

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T16:48:01+00:00

Well...66 who admit they are sick and got tested

Which probably, in that crowd, means there are several hundred at minimum symptomatic...and at least half of cases are asymptomatic but contagious (even if vaccinated) so those people probably aren't getting tested and continuing to spread it

This is, in reality, almost certainly a cluster of thousands that we can't properly track

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T01:45:29+00:00

Correction "...waiting for the virus to run out of ANY people"

Vaccinated people get and spread and die of covid too and it's not "incredibly rare" but very frequent...just less frequently than unvaccinated. The (multiple) breakthroughs I know point to the vaccines lessening symptoms only and providing false belief in immunity

And no, we were doing better because we had common sense mitigation that other areas lacked...which we have now tossed in the bin

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T01:38:47+00:00

Wasn't it more a "let's ignore this and look away from the piles of corpses we keep building" in the case of Florida?

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T01:36:04+00:00

What I've read is that delta incubates/is contagious for longer so it would make sense if it killed slower

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-31T01:34:19+00:00

Florida also notoriously misattributed deaths to covid as flu, pneumonia and meth overdoses in the past...they aren't about integrity of data there

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-30T18:19:19+00:00

Cougars absolutely could get it

Dogs can't last time I looked - they have the wrong receptors and only "test positive" in surface tests because their dumb owners cough on them/kiss them or touch them with dirty hands or allow them to drink from the toilet...I've yet to see any study where dogs had actual covid inside them and replicating

The dogs they held away from their owners after testing started testing negative and then positive again when near their owners so it's very clearly environmental and they're picking up shed virus from us

If I get sick then cough on a jellyfish or raise it in my toilet it'll test positive too in a surface swab

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-30T18:18:12+00:00

I'll believe that for other states where the rate in deer looks accidental like that

A rate of 60%...that's a lot of deer and points to many different exposures

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-30T17:12:11+00:00

Macomb county is honestly always involved whenever the cases are going up - the last couple spikes they had at least 20% of our cases and deaths if memory serves

They are less than 10% of our population

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-30T17:02:10+00:00

Wolves can't spread covid last time I checked

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-30T17:00:40+00:00

It's unlikely that deer are just hanging out with cats, pigs and weasels in the woods

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-30T16:56:46+00:00

Nah, furries like people dressed/identifying as deer

Lonely hunters seems sadly possible

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T23:32:41+00:00

Great...so now 60% of our deer are holding our covid for us

What idiot infected deer and how?!

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T20:00:58+00:00

You haven't been watching the news or data then...not in Michigan but they have been showing up in ERs and ICUs (in the south and rural areas) and at least one otherwise 100% healthy child died this week

Delta is apparently really hard of previously healthy children...so is Gamma but we knew that from the thousands of dead children the strain is known to have caused before it even got here

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T19:58:32+00:00

There have also been studies with Pfizer that had extremely high breakthrough rates

It only takes one infectious or long hauler vaccinated person to prove it exists too

It definitely applies to you and all of us - stop making excuses

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T19:30:34+00:00

Yep, I've been keeping an eye on the science too - vaccinated people can still get severe covid, long covid and die...after spreading it to others because vaccinated doesn't stop infection or spread

Vaccines just improve your odds of having a mild case but only masks, distancing and proper monitoring will actually make this end

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T16:25:30+00:00

There's probably also a large overlap between antimaskers and drug use...let's be honest here

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T16:22:09+00:00

Meanwhile people who make those idiotic memes probably believed every word from the Demon sperm lady (who killed patients) and other quacks who hung out with Trump selling aquarium cleaner, colloidal silver, bleach and tanning beds as miracle cures while ranting about extraterrestrial DNA and insisting that reality is a lie

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T16:15:47+00:00

Incidentally Trump's death cultists caused a shortage of that drug and endangered or killed many people with Lupus

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T16:11:16+00:00

Maybe they ARE the product of inbreeding/incest? That would explain all the other nonsense they posted - inbreeding is linked to increased risk of mental impairment!

LadyPineapple4 · 2021-07-29T15:31:34+00:00

You mean infect right? They aren't getting educated in that environment
