Fwiw, that MIT study if followed would have closed down the economy sooner, longer and had contact tracing in place before opening. It also would have home and businesses revamp their HVAC and air circulating systems updated along with mask wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they dropped the ball, but it was bound to spread and once we had 15 cases it was disingenuous and dangerous to claim our numbers would go down to 0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't say derogatory things about you and if you think my post is OT report it to the moderators. Fwiw, your opposition to a public health policy is "political," and making light of the vaccine while claiming you ain't getting vaccinated is political as well. Think about it, my friend. I also am proud I took the vaccine (easiest patriotic thing I could do) and happy that the news outlets I follow have kept me informed from the very beginning. I think if you follow the progress of some who have participated in this thread it seems they keep keep arguing against their best interests. That's my take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, India is being hit hard but this isn't a race to see who gets hit worse--WE have been hit hard and I think if we all do our part things can get back to normal quickly and let's see how next season shapes up. That's my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing political about my posts other than your take on them which is always political. If you feel that my posts are personal attacks report them and ill take my lumps if they deem necessary. I'm a big boy. If not, quit playing the victim.

I have no problem going back and forth on relevant matters and feel free to bring up any of my posts as well. I apologize to the moderators and will make this my last post on the subject.

Zen Traveler Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I really was wrong in my prediction that our Covid Hospitalizations would go up because of Spring Break and the Mask Ordinance being lifted. Denton County GIS - COVID-19 Information - COVID-19Cases (arcgis.com) Our Covid Numbers in cases and hospitalizations are down dramatically compared to March 1, 2021. I credit it to people still wearing masks indoors, social distancing by choice and business protocol and more folks getting vaccinated... I got both shots at the AWESOME setup at Texas Motor Speedway but it looks like it's winding on down with the last 2nd shots in May:DCPH reduces hours for Friday first-dose vaccine clinic at Texas Motor Speedway | Coronavirus Outbreak | dentonrc.com From the link: Currently, Friday’s clinic is planned to be the last of Denton County’s first-dose vaccine clinics at the speedway, though second-dose clinics will continue at the site until mid-May.
