This is my first post on this thread. This reminds of a quote: If you marry you will regret it, if you don't marry you will regret it. Whether you do marry or don't you will regret it.
Actually said by Soren Kierkegaard much earlier in 1855. Emotions matter however when confronted with reality they matter less. Not kierkegaard but my own words.Damned if you do, damned if you don't -- Eleanor Roosevelt
Too many TV networks in your country and all trying to get you to watch them.... so the BS starts flowing and they just try and out do each other, small local stories get 'blown' into full on 'news worthy' (?) items, dont know how many times ive seen reporters in hurricanes 'fighting' the strong winds reporting such only to have a random walk behind them thinking wtf is he on about..Mainstream media has nothing more than laughable entertainment to report 99% of the time. I would challenge anyone to send a link of a CNN report that is not politically biased or a reporter employed by CNN that is being 100% accurate truthful about COVID. You are not going to find it.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."He who cures a disease may be the skillfullest, but he that prevents it is the safest physician."
And, was part of the rest of your quote above. You're a sly one. . . . gonna have to keep an eye on you. The force is strong in this one it is.Actually said by Soren Kierkegaard much earlier in 1855. . . .
Mate hang in there it will reduce and be managed to a level that things will carry on almost the same.There is no hope. I quit watching the news in march, quit watching any new TV years ago. Try my best not to care or otherwise think about the crap, but it's here, and most likely for the next few hundred years. We will never be without masks again I'm afraid. I live with it and wake up every day til now, but who cares really? What quality of life is left if you can't go out in the yard without a mask, can never do anything again for all intents and purposes? All you can do is put your iddiot mask on, go out for another day, repeat for 5400yrs. I don't care if the stats say 1 person got it yesterday or 1 billion, either way there is no hope.
If you worry, you die. If you don't worry, you die. So Why worry.: If you marry you will regret it, if you don't marry you will regret it. Whether you do marry or don't you will regret it.
It's not the point of quote buts it's all goodIf you worry, you die. If you don't worry, you die. So Why worry.
We made it through the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020 and most people hardly remember it.There is no hope. I quit watching the news in march, quit watching any new TV years ago. Try my best not to care or otherwise think about the crap, but it's here, and most likely for the next few hundred years. We will never be without masks again I'm afraid.

The same can also be said for a bad meal.. . . . "This too shall pass" - Persian origin
I don't think it is fake news this time Robert. However it is a big "IF". I am of the belief that this vaccine has been ready for months. The approvals and distribution has been held up by powerful judges and politicians backed by the antivac crowd.So, maybe the local media was correct for a change. Apparently, if Pfizer is granted emergency authorization on 10DEC20, they can begin inoculation on 11DEC20. Restricted distribution at first to the "at risk" population. Finally, some good new. Hope it's not fake.
There is also a big problem with the distribution logistics. Apparently the doses need to be kept very cold which means lots of refrigerated lorries.I don't think it is fake news this time Terry.

The problem for the professionals has not been that "they are even worst informed than us" it is that they've been inundated with not just companies lobbying but entire nations pushing that they have the best thing going, data coming at them from all sides which is filled with "spin" on test results, the overwhelming logistics being worked on, etc. The press just has to research and write about what they see, while the professionals have to actually make CORRECT decisions.I mean, me, and other people having their own opinion based on the very shady information the are thrown to us on media, its ok. But there are a lot of people that are supposedly professionals that must take the correct decisions that looks like they are even worst informed than us.
Ummm - No. There've been experimental vaccines developed for a couple/few months, because the basic "how to" is not that hard. HOWEVER . . . They were untested outside of Russian prisons (get years off a sentence for participating), Chinese military (no choice and for "good of the people"), and at least one African country. Definitely NOT ready for prime time. On top of that, even those hadn't had the problems figured out on how to scale up to tens of millions of doses, because as my daughter likes to say "the recipe changes."I don't think it is fake news this time Terry. However it is a big "IF". I am of the belief that this vaccine has been ready for months.
