Covid 19 - We are all screwed - discuss

Next to central bank money printing, medical billing is the biggest scam going. Not surprisingly both the scams are on full display during this “crisis.”

Shit like this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Lenox Hill Hospital to shell out $12.3M for submitting fake claims to Medicare

What types of people in NY would most likely be uninsured and therefore be submitted for free federal "corona" medicare, and where might they live?

In the “hotspots”  the black and Hispanic areas. The hospital in that piece is actually in a high income area. Can you imagine how bad it is in the low income areas?

Stopping unbelievably quickly doesn't kill, it's the energy transferred from the car to the object being hit what kills.

  Damn energy transfer! Can't trust anybody these days.

And I'm not sure getting fucked up by a drunk driver is a good comparison to contracting a virus. It's not a terrible comparison I suppose.

Again, this life has no warranty. I drive knowing I could get smashed by some drunk idiot. Allow me to go to the gym or play blackjack in a casino or have a drink in a bar with someone who may have Covid19. I'll take my chances. If it works out poorly please say nice things at my memorial.

and the old argument comes back, "but you might contaminate others"

Answer "not if they stay 2 meters away I wont"

So what is it you so desperately need to do that you cant?

[Hypertrophy]

So what is it you so desperately need to do that you cant?

Some people run businesses and have employees, bills and customers. Like I do. And as business slows down people lose their jobs. And state unemployment offices don't respond very quickly so a lot of people are going broke.

I guess that's kind of  a desperate need.

[friedchickendinner]

But I thought people on getbig were warriors

only the strong survive etc

And here a lockdown for a couple of months seems to be all it takes

This doesn't apply to every business or person out there, but we had over a decade of immense economic prosperity, people are walking around with a $300 jacket on, $200 shoes,  a $700 phone in their pocket, another sitting in a drawer at home, eating out every other day, etc etc. Yet these people didn't manage to have a bit of money saved to see them through a rainy day?

Those who are generally financially responsible and got caught out at an inopportune moment have my sympathy, but my general feeling towards the majority is fuck them. It's just a modern day version of Darwinism in action

You fucking asshole. You are so removed from what is going on in the real world that you qualify as a barely functional retard, lol. Do you have any idea how business and commerce works? I await your answer you goddamn fool.

I'm doing great in the real world. You're the one bawling online over it.

Sounds like Dr. Vince Goodrum's, PhD, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, life. Big status.

Exactly Right 👍🏻

To be fair to VG and having watched his old videos, if it's all genuine, he came across as a pretty financially responsible dude.

Ate budget meals, shopped at goodwill, lived within his means. Not because he had to, but because he wanted to. He also had the bigger picture in mind.

It's no surprise he's doing pretty well during these tough times whilst others who were shopping at Versace and eating steak dinner every evening are now contemplating suicide.

Covid19 is shit. Laughable shit.

America's response is a disgrace. Cowards telling other cowards to hide under their bed. 

I'm 58 years old, weigh 245 pounds and have zero fear of that lame virus. This life never came with a guarantee. I hold nobody responsible for my well being. 

Cowards!

245 lbs. is a lot to weigh unless you are 7' tall. Maybe in 2 years when you are 60 and among the age related vulnerable group, this virus will have been eradicated...or at least there will be a preventative vaccine. Your lack of fear is impressive....makes you seem so macho.

[Primemuscle]

10 or so deaths in 2 months Lockdown- Multiple deaths every day from traffic accidents & Nothing
Something seriously wrong going on - Stop The Lockdown Nonsense across the globe it’s utterly Ridiculous - We’re all going to Die some young some old some seemingly fit & well & some not so
That’s Life Let’s Get On with it & Enjoy everyday we can.

You cannot compare traffic fatalities with deaths as a result of a preexisting condition or a virus.  Traffic fatalities have nothing to do with health related deaths. It is like comparing oranges to cue-balls, one's natural and one is man made the only things they have in common are shape and size.

Thank you sir.  It ain't that difficult.

And it's not about me. It's about all the hard working people who are losing everything.

And it's about "rewarding people for doing nothing..."    Yes! Stay home. We will pay you more than you made at your job. How could that go wrong?

There's a certain portion of the population that have made welfare a career choice. How's that working out for that certain group ?

Cowards.

So when I turn 60 my immune system will suddenly magically change? Interesting.

You are correct about one thing... my absolute lack of fear. Macho Man? Well I was always a bigger fan of Diamond Dallas Page.

Stay healthy Prime. I wish you well sir.

There will never be a suitable vaccine. Why? Mutations. Where is the vaccine for the common cold? Or HIV? I'll wait for your answer and scientific explanation.

And no, there is nothing surprising about dying at age 60 or 70 from Covid, or even the flu for that matter. A lot of post 60 year old people are in shit shape so no surprise they knock off after a bad virus.. Still, I happen to know quite a few 70 year old guys who are still competitive cyclists. In cardiovascular shape you would not believe. One was diagnosed a month and a half  ago with Covid after he returned from California. He went into the hospital after getting a bad cough and ended up getting over it in 7 days.

BTW Tommy is one of the best posters on here and happens to actually lift weights. Surprise- he is a big guy. If you have a thing with guys being macho as opposed to being effeminate, why are you on this board? It's a bodybuilding site. You know - for guys who like to be big and have muscles.

[Notomorrow]

Is it still racist to protect our borders aggressively and demand LEGAL, verified entry into this country so we know exactly who entered when and from where in the era of global viruses?

Once you're done sucking off Tommy I suggest you go fact check yourself.

The common colds are mostly Rhinovirus, Covid is not. HIV is a retrovirus, Covid is not.

Flu mutates and undergoes antigenic drifts (and occasionally antigenic shifts), yet there are still vaccines for that. Covid does not mutate anywhere near as fast as flu does. There are also already vaccines for other corona viruses.

LOL @ you presenting science.  That's gonna go over swimmingly with this crowd of mongloids.

False equivalence. It's like saying that because we have a vaccine for measles, we should have one for HIV.

Dude's neck is bigger than his head. He runs through Death Valley, just for fun. When I asked him if he ever killed anyone, he said "I don't know. I never checked."

Of course turning 60 isn't going to trigger a change in your immune system. I was being snide. It just seems like a lot there's a lot of conversation that would lead one to believe once everyone hits a certain age their body turns into crap. That's crap. Some folks in their 30's are a mess healthwise and some folks in their 70's are as healthy as an ox, so to speak.

You stay healthy too. You have my best wishes as well. Stay healthy as an ox.
