I guess I should clarify something. Mrs Steeb is really good at golf but Steeb is no slouch himself. Shot this Sunday before we actually started the round.

I’m thrilled your county is doing so well, sadly not the case in many places. I have posted several studies showing masks are effective at “reducing” transmission of COVID. I AGREE, N95 is the only mask highly effective at transmission of viral particles in close contact with a positive individual. However, combined with social distancing and the other recommendations we have all heard for months, regular masks are very helpful at reducing spread. (Not non filtered bs “face coverings”, I agree with you > are minimally helpful, if at all. In OK, we are now at almost triple the deaths from COVID, that we have ever seen with even the worst flu season. Our deaths from COVID already exceed prior year death numbers from diabetes, liver disease, suicide or pneumonia. Closing in on quarter of a million deaths would definitely classify as a “deadly virus” in my book. How many have to perish for you to feel comfortable with calling it deadly? Not sure where the major divide is between us or why you get so worked up at Murr, DP or I if we support precautions. You act as if we want to have everyone sitting in their basement, in the fetal position, living in constant fear. (The hyperbole I refer to) Social Distance, wear a mask when indoors if distancing is not possible, don’t gather in large groups. Easy. Florida compared to NY? Surely you know the main differences, population density and in NY a much higher % of residents that utilize public transportation. If my taking precautions will help prevent spread and saves some lives, damn straight I will do it with a gracious and willing heart. Just like doing the speed limit in populated areas to avoid causing harm to others. When I want to open it up and drive excessively fast, I do it in areas I won’t risk harm to others, because I am a selfless queen like that. We can agree to disagree. My place of being passionate is because I have seen the suffering and cannot ignore what is happening. Again, pleased you have not had to see it, maybe your lack of experiencing this has made you jaded to the reality of this “deadly virus”. Still like you and I’m not mad, will happily let you buy me a drink and a fine meal anytime. |

Nicole,
There is someone working in a burn ward that thinks Covid people are lucky There is someone in a pediatrics ward that things the elderly are fortunate There is someone in a battered woman's shelter that thinks babies are fortunate that so much money is spent on them. It is all about perspective. Look up acne, arthritis, dandruff, diabetes, lung disease, ANY ailment and the pictures you'll see are going to be the worst. You are in that same boat. You are seeing the worst because that 's who is in the hospital. It is NOT representative of what is going on in the country or the world. Next drink is on me. |

Fuggin dog has had the squirts and horrid gas that could peel paint for 3 days. Not sure what he got into, but I hope he never finds it again.

May I honestly ask, as devils advocate, that if someone has NOT directly seen the death/suffering and assume it does not exist, who is more jaded friend? |

Candie, thanks for the honest reply. One last question: What will the explanation be when the total number of deaths in 2020 is essentially the same as the past several years instead of at least 300,000 higher? |

I brought that out last month. It's like a cop in the inner city, all he see are the low life and thinks it's like that everywhere. I know of no one that has died of the covid. I live in a county of over 3 million and a city of over 200k. My friends in L.A county of over 10 million know of two. My friends dad at 98 that had bad kidney, Alzheimer and cancer died of covid19. My friends mother of 95 who had Alzheimer a stroke and a heart attack died of covid. You know longer get the flu which we have had for hundreds of years. It's now covid19. It's amazing how many athletes get the covid19 and next week they're playing. Kind of like when they got the flu. The only difference is the league let them play with the flu but not covid19. |

Hopefully you remember I don’t just eval and treat COVID patients but I also started and head up a lung cancer screening program that was thankfully only on hold for a very short period of time. I feel we (my organization) did a great job keeping important screenings accessible as we had many discussions about the dangers of delaying them. Man Steve. I can promise you this whole mess has been hard for so many people. I don’t have all the answers, nor do you. All I can do is lay my head down at night with a peaceful heart knowing I did everything I possibly could as a medical provider and as a community member to make a positive difference. |

Good morning everyone. Up in the middle of the night with buzzy feet! Damn aspartame in diet softdrinks does it too me. I was drinking diet Pepsi.....that's what did it. That shit should be banned.
I used to love the Stevia Coke but they stopped making/selling it up here. Anyway weather was snowy yesterday but it mostly melted and it's supposed to get warmer as the week goes on.... This gif makes me feel even warmer..... |
