    "Anyone out there who can tell me what our end game is with the covid 19?
    What is the magic formula that is going to allow us to sound the all clear?
    Is it zero cases?
    The only way that will happen is if we just stop testing and stop reporting.
    Is it a vaccine?
    It took 25 years for a chicken pox vaccine to be developed.
    The smallpox inoculation was discovered in 1796 the last known natural case was in 1977.
    We have a flu vaccine that is only 40 to 60% effective and less than half of the US population choose to get one, and roughly 20,000 Americans will die of the flu or flu complications.
    Oh, you'll mandate it, like other vaccines are mandated in order to attend school, travel to some foreign countries, etc.
    We already have a growing number of anti vaxxers refusing proven, tested, well known vaccines that have been administered for decades but aren’t necessarily safe!
    Do you really think people will flock to get a fast tracked, quickly tested vaccine, whose long term side effects and overall efficacy are anyone's best guess?
    How long are we going to cancel and postpone and reconsider?
    You aren't doing in person school until second quarter?
    What if October's numbers are the same as August's?
    You moved football to spring?
    What if next March is worse than this one was?
    When do we decide quality of life outweighs the risks?
    I understand Covid can be deadly or very dangerous for SOME people, but so are strawberries and so is shellfish.
    We take risks multiple times a day without a second thought.
    We know driving a car can be dangerous, we don't leave it in the garage. Many speed and don't wear seat belts.
    We know the dangers of smoking, drinking and eating fried foods, we do it anyway.
    Is hugging Grandma really more dangerous than rush hour on the freeway?
    Is going out with friends after work more risky than 4 day old gas station sushi?
    Or operating a chainsaw?
    When and how did we so quickly lose our free will and give up our liberty?
    Is there a waiver somewhere I can sign that says, "I understand the risks, but I choose a life with Hugs and Smiles, and the State Fair and go to Church and go hug my Mom in her retirement home?
    I understand that there is a minuscule possibility I could die, but I will most likely end up feeling like crap for a few days.
    I understand I could possibly pass it to someone else, if I'm not careful, but I can pass any virus onto someone else.
    I'm struggling to see where or how this ends.
    We either get busy living or we get busy dying.
    When God decides it's your time, you don't get any mulligans, so I guess I would rather spend my time enjoying it and living in the moment and not worrying about what ifs and maybes, and I bet I'm not the only one.

    Things have gotten a little more complicated over time. You need to align the dish to probably 3 satellites. I highly doubt you can get all of them to 90+ percent. A slight rotation of the dish left or right might get you back to talking to the different satellites.

    I use ATT. It's fair. It gets the job done. I use a Samsung S7 phone that I bought here on the forum from @avguytx . It's been really good. It's a few years old now. I wonder if he has a newer phone for me to buy lol. Smart Flip phones are out, but very expensive.

     

    My dad is 81. He uses an ATT plan where you pay $100 for 1000 minutes. They sold him a flip phone to work on this plan too. When ever he needs more talk time, he stops by there and hands them a hundred bucks + tax.
