What is it with you ladies? My wife is the same. Even if we were motoring a thousand miles away for a vacation, she’d hop a plane just to get back to her gal.

The trick is to get your appointment BEFORE the vacation.  It takes intricate planning, but it can be done. 

MUST have nice hair for those vacation photos, you know??   happy77
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Ha!  But what happens when your head starts to itch?  Or if you're hiking into the Grand Canyon and it's 115 at the bottom (true experience), and it gets too hot? 

These are the problems we deal with on a regular basis.  Be sympathetic.  wink777

You take it off and fan yourself with it. How could that not be obvious?

In a pinch,you could even use it to clean your windshield.

Nope. Not gonna happen. Women don't go bald,and my head has been cold 6 months a year ever since I went bald,and now I have to wear a hat in the summer to keep from frying what little brain I have left.

Nope,no sympathy here!

I dunno. But I can see it. Never had a barber, but if I did, and I went there more than once, I would probably still be going there now.

Lost my best hardware guy about 5 years ago... RIP. ol Hank must have been standing there one day and they threw a building around him to keep him there. He'd been there since it began. There wasn't a damn thing he didn't know about hardware, and damn little he couldn't tell you about carpentry, cabinet making, plumbing, and the rest.

The place wasn't the same without ol Hank.., They kept going of course. He was their senior employee, but only an employee of course... But they never could replace ol Hank. That hardware store - the one I been going to since Hector was a pup, dried up and blew away last summer.  That ain't right.

Yep. I can see why them ladies keep going to the same place.

Ain't bald... One of the few things I got from my daddy's side is hair that stays put... So far at least...

But I been wearing a black Gus/Montana style Bailey cowboy hat all my life. And you'd think it a poor thing to have in the summer heat... But I swear, it's better than being without.

Random thought:

Has anyone noticed how there have been no reports of any outbreaks tied to the reopen protests? If there were, you know there'd be widespread reports everywhere about them, just like you see any time there is a church outbreak—yet nothing.

Not so random I haven't noticed, too.

You know if it was bad news the press would be shouting it from minarets and rooftops. It is guaranteed they won't do anything to give Americans any confidence in an economic recovery, because that confidence would be a driver in that same recovery. It would be like America coming out of whatever shelter they took for the duration of a bad storm; we'd just roll up our sleeves and rebuild believing that sunny days were ahead.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

           Cases     Inc.    Deaths  Inc
5/16   36,703   618    3,339     54
5/17   37,419    716    3,408     69

For the most part wearing a mask is a feel good measure... Only N95 type masks come close to being able to filter out something as small as a virus. If the virus is in the air and gets caught in a typical non N95 mask it is going to go through the mask in short order. That's the reality of it...

I guess the idea is to slow the particles down a bunch.  Cloth has zero effect on the droplets, they go right through.

Here is another random thought. WHERE is the news? Hurricane season looks like it is getting an early start.

Propaganda. Misinformation. BS. All covid. Your graphs and related info upthread were telling.

If you are all so willing to stop an epidemic then swing obama, hillary, et al by a thread. Or drag them up and down 1600 with a log chain behind a two horse hearse.

Right.

IMO, there is a consideration that most people would scoff at. There are large numbers of people who have worked, or are still working in many industries without any type of masking or filtering of contaminants. Whether chemical or particulate. For decades.

What I am saying is they have an underlying condition that may not yet be apparent, as in diagnosed and under treatment.

You smoked three packs a day for thirty years but finally quit two years ago. That doesn't go away.

I don't care about covid. I have some of the best masks money can buy. Including full face shields so that things I am exposed to are limited to absorbtion through my skin or even my eyes. I have literally stripped off my clothes to my underwear in my yard and hosed myself off because of the contaminants I have been exposed to. But that exposure isn't going away.

I'll just stop this. Wear a mask against covid if you think it will help you. That belief alone is worth more than a mask.

But when someone demands you wear one..this fight is on.

I know several bald men who put sunscreen on their heads.

And I know quite a few women who lost hair from either pregnancies or bariatric surgery. There’s also a psychiatric disorder called trictillomania where it’s like ocd and you constantly pull out your hair. They don’t even know they’re doing it.

@bigheadfred

Ten years ago this November one of my medications causes me to have total renal failure.

It happened literally over about 12 hours, and by the time I was admitted to the hospital I was unconscious and a priest came into my room and offered my parents last rites. (He didn’t know what faith I was).

I spent six weeks in hospital and got dialysis. Fortunately, everything came back. (Knocking wood)

Now I’m being honest here, if I go out, I stay put for two-three weeks. I go out once a week to take the trash out of course But I keep thinking even though I’m considered healthy, and my BMI is 27 ( thank you quarantine) I’m slightly paranoid to be around people. I just don’t know. So I’ll err on the side of caution.

People here have to remember that this is a global pandemic and things are bad everywhere.  In fact, those of us in Red States are less restricted than most of the world is.

1) The world has has pandemics worse than this in our lifetime and no one has ever reacted this way where you isolate the healthy.

2) Those red states are having the predicted issues with letting their citizens out of the forced internment in their houses and away from their livelihood.

Perhaps Europe should take a clue from the “red states” in the U.S.

@musiclady

Right.  If you're bald you need sunscreen.

I hadn't thought of those other conditions, @Gefn, but you're right.  There are several health conditions that result in baldness in women.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

That's fine and all... But somewhere along that road lies the path to the crazy old cat lady... Jussayin.

I have been alone for vast tracts of my life. And I am alright with that. I am enough of an introvert to be content in solitude, far from everyone. But I know it ain't right. The Father said it is not good for Man to be alone.

So while I prefer solitude, I make it a point to go out. Not a lot, but enough. I still pay my bills in person. I purposefully don't use grocery delivery services. I go walk the aisles.  I go to an event at least twice a month and out to eat at least twice a month (and those two types cannot be combined). And at least ONE of those times, I am accompanied by a lady friend on purpose.

And you know what? In most cases, by far the most, I always have a really good time.

Shabbat Shalom y'all.   happy77

Big Tech censors dissent over coronavirus lockdowns

They've come to the conclusion that dissent is immoral, and they need to get slapped if we expect them to behave differently.  It will take an act of Congress, I suspect.  The subject could be addressed with a 1st Amendment lawsuit, but I can see them getting off with the bogus "yelling 'fire!' in a crowded theatre" argument.

That's fine and all... But somewhere along that road lies the path to the crazy old cat lady... Jussayin.

I have been alone for vast tracts of my life. And I am alright with that. I am enough of an introvert to be content in solitude, far from everyone. But I know it ain't right. The Father said it is not good for Man to be alone.

So while I prefer solitude, I make it a point to go out. Not a lot, but enough. I still pay my bills in person. I purposefully don't use grocery delivery services. I go walk the aisles.  I go to an event at least twice a month and out to eat at least twice a month (and those two types cannot be combined). And at least ONE of those times, I am accompanied by a lady friend on purpose.

And you know what? In most cases, by far the most, I always have a really good time.

That's always worked for me.  I lucked into marrying another loaner.  "Self-isolating" is a second nature to us.

@bigheadfred

Ten years ago this November one of my medications causes me to have total renal failure.

It happened literally over about 12 hours, and by the time I was admitted to the hospital I was unconscious and a priest came into my room and offered my parents last rites. (He didn’t know what faith I was).

I spent six weeks in hospital and got dialysis. Fortunately, everything came back. (Knocking wood)

Now I’m being honest here, if I go out, I stay put for two-three weeks. I go out once a week to take the trash out of course But I keep thinking even though I’m considered healthy, and my BMI is 27 ( thank you quarantine) I’m slightly paranoid to be around people. I just don’t know. So I’ll err on the side of caution.

I tend to pick outgoing gals... I suppose because they tend to get me out of my ruts. Some weird sort of self-medicating... But it works. I have an obligation to attend for her sake, and like I said, I wind up having a good time... Just not so much as to be overwhelming, and she CANNOT be a happy happy morning person. She won't survive.

You are right. The world didnt shut down with the Spanish Flu.

Nor did they for the 1968 pandemic or the H1N1 pandemic in 2009.

One of the problems, especially with the current scrubbing going on on platforms like Youtube and Facebook, is that when no one knows the answer for certain, scientists will debate what is and is not the appropriate course of action, will debate causative factors and effects, and where needed, remedies.

Prominence in a field is based on past accomplishments, political positions on politics, not scientific acumen.
 Neither is a guarantee of being correct this time.

By removing that discussion, or at least only permitting one side of it, Youtube and Facebook have essentially done what the so-called Climate Experts have done: they have stopped science and moved on to dogma.
What people have been saying, nominally, that one size does not fit all, but that the solutions may be counterintuitive, may be simpler and already in hand than finding or engineering something new for at least most of the problem, and that regions, like people have their unique characteristics which require different solutions to problems.

Squelching the voices of reason (because reasoning, especially scientific reasoning, can be messy while figuring out how to deal with a new problem), only removes what can be viable solutions from discussion, and that doesn't benefit anyone. Only open, honest, and often, lively debate will reveal the answers we seek.

CDC noted today that hospitalizations for all flu-like illnesses have now fallen below baseline—fewer people are being hospitalized for such illnesses including COVID now than in an average year without it.

\Oh, and New York's hospitalization death rate has fallen to under 100 per day.

Syracuse Scientists Discover Way to Track COVID-19 in Wastewater

"We push out viral particles through our breath and through speaking and we’ve heard that a lot with droplets with coronavirus," Dr. David Larsen an epidemiologist from Syracuse University, explained. "We also push out viral particles in our feces when we go poop."

I’d rather have the government stay busy tracking feces than people. Just seems more appropriate.

Breakthrough Drug: Ivermectin Shows 'Astounding' Results Against Coronavirus

Reports Friday from multiple trials in the United States and abroad indicate a drug already approved by the FDA to treat parasitic infections is showing “astounding” results, and could represent a breakthrough in efforts to vanquishing the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the heart of the global pandemic.

Doctors have administered the drug ivermectin in several simultaneous trials in several countries sometimes in combination with other common medications.

Physicians who participated in the study report that patients’ viral loads began declining almost immediately after they began administering ivermectin, a widely available prescription drug approved to combat parasites, scabies and head lice.

It has not been approved for COVID-19 patients, but doctors familiar with clinical trials described patients’ results as dramatic.

Emergency medical physician Dr. Peter H. Hibberd, M.D., of Palm Beach County, Florida, told Newsmax Friday evening in an exclusive interview that he’s optimistic the drug will prove to be an important therapeutic advance, although he expects more trials will be needed before it wins FDA approval for use as a COVID-19 medication.

He noted it has impressed doctors in clinical trials on multiple continents.

“There’s a common denominator here,” said Hibberd. “This drug is salvaging people from their death bed.”

In some cases, doctors reported just one dose of ivermectin markedly improved a patient’s condition. U. S. patients received a single oral dose, and some of them received a booster dose seven days later. The FDA-approved dose for parasitic infections was used.

The drug first emerged as a possible coronavirus therapeutic after a study to be published in next month’s Antiviral Research journal by researchers in Victoria, Australia showed the drug wiped out the virus in a test tube.........

I am serious. Give a mandatory shot of this to every federal employee. To see if it is at first use an anti-parasitic.

Then we can talk about its use against covid.
