Bill Maher covid advice


Recommended Posts

Hard to dispute but it does have a price which Bill did not mention.  The price is death and sure maybe death is now or later but we have to open things up at some point. Can we deal with the politics of opening up local schools??  I don't think our politicos have any logic skills but only political skills. Are you going to be the one opening up the schools and having children die??  Will you ever be reelected to anything ever again.  No I am not another smart ### with an opinion.  I don't know what to do and I wouldn't want to be in charge of any of this.  I agree with Bill on eat your Vitamin C.  I take 4 grams a day split up over the day to avoid the D word.

 

So does anybody have a solution?

Comedians are not the people I listen to for medical information.  However who am I to determine what others do with their lives; as long it does not impact mine?

Folks rambling on a web board are not people I listen to for medical advice either, but here we are.

A prudent decision, that's why I listen to the specialists.

By the way, just rewatched the video. Maher did not offer medical advice. He said nothing controversial or in opposition to what specialists have said. There are people terrified to leave their homes, making themselves crazy with fear. He was talking about going for a walk in the fresh air not suggesting people don’t wear masks and go around licking door knobs.

Virus and bacteria are two different things, something the video seems to downplay.  ....

Even the Doctors are wrong. Remember 2 1/2 million deaths, then ventilators. Turns out the ventilators caused more harm than good.. Facusi said second wave another lock down now he says not another lock down. 

Take precautions but, enjoy what life you have left. I know I am. We let the government steal 3 or 4 months of our lives.

I found this interesting:

Quote

15 June  A new British study released last week offers some hope: Scientists report that the widespread use of face masks -- not more lockdowns -- could slow the spread of the virus to tolerable levels, the Washington Post reported.

"Our analyses support the immediate and universal adoption of face masks by the public," said study leader Richard Stutt, a Cambridge University professor, the newspaper reported.

The findings, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A scientific journal, also suggest that lockdowns alone can't fight the coronavirus if and when it spikes again.

First you do not want a comic to offer medical commentary and now you are criticizing Maher because he did not instruct us on the difference between virus and bacteria? I’m confused. 

 I will repeat, all he tried to do was lessen fear and hysteria. But, do not let anyone deter you. Please do cower behind closed doors for the rest of your life if that is what it takes for you to feel safe.

Bill Maher is more than a "comedian", he's a sharp, intelligent political commentator and talk show host.

And unfortunately, some of the "top medical experts" for both the US and C, have royally screwed this up, since the start.      Both Dr.'s Fauci and Tam, in March, said "no masks were necessary" and even reco'd against them.      2 months later, 180 degree change on that, even as things "open up" and we watch the #'s climb again.

When he made this video there were 75,000 dead in the U.S. Now, just over a month later there are 117,000 dead. Ignore it at your own peril.

Bill Maher said NOTHING about ignoring the virus. Neither did I.

Now that that the virus has moved into the gringo / ex pat community in Ajijic  perhaps some of the naysayers  will begin to take it a little more seriously....not necessary to freak out...but just a little common sense...?

Nah- naysayers don't care about evidence and facts.

Well the bar pretending to be a restaurant in my neighborhood is opening up tonight complete with live loud music and no doubt dancing.  Given that bars are about the worst place anyone could go (or the best if you want to get sick) it will be interesting to see what the turnout is tonight.
