Just decided to cancel Thanksgiving plans.
We visit my wife’s grandma and grandpa, but her grandpa is having heart surgery. With everything going crazy it just isn’t worth the risk.
Better to ruin one Thanksgiving than to ruin the rest of them.

FYI, the guy who basically has become Trump’s top advisor on Coronavirus, Scott Atlas, publicly calls on Michigan’s citizens to rise up against Gretchen Whitmer over her COVID measures. I believe I already explained the plans of the last group who took that advice to heart. He’s being a pretty piss poor “advisor” honestly. The f*** advice has he actually given that’s worth a damn? The answer? None. He’s not an advisor...he’s a shameless yes man. My niece has to quarantine now after a caretaker at her daycare came down with Covid. That caused my dad to cancel his Thanksgiving trip to see them and he’s going to Illinois to see our family instead since he can’t risk getting stuck there. Atlas went on Fox during the early days of the pandemic and gave Trump all the warm fuzzies. That's the only reason he has the job he does.

It's so funny. I remember all last month all the people around my area saying "Hey, this will all magically go away after Biden is elected!" Mostly from my church and job
This past week? Silence. No one has ANYTHING to say.
I'd be throwing it back in their faces if people weren't dying as a result.

I do wonder whether South Dakota's governor will change her tune now that the election is over. Iowa's governor has implemented a mask mandate, a thing she said previously would never happen.
Unbelievably sad how whether the state governors will act at all appears to depend on who's in the White House as opposed to, y'know, what the damn public needs. No f***ing wonder masks are still a debate.

Stanford has distanced itself from Dr. Atlas after his latest bull. His excuse for his telling residents of Michigan to rise up against mandates? He’s not very good at Twitter.
Yeah and you’re jot very good at this doctor thing either you rube. You’ve sold out all credibility you had to be a bootlicking yes man.

This...this is just beyond sad. It's sad in a stupid way. It didn't have to get this bad here. We shouldn't be one of the ten riskiest states to visit right now. We shouldn't be one of the leading rise in active cases in a state that is 46th in population. But it will continue, until we either have a vaccine, or enough people are killed in this pandemic that people will finally open their eyes.

Unbelievably sad how whether the state governors will act at all appears to depend on who's in the White House as opposed to, y'know, what the damn public needs. No f***ing wonder masks are still a debate. She won't. She's blinded by stupidity, greed, and arrogance. She would rather travel to other states trying to get the current president reelected (which didn't happen) instead of trying to contain the spread of Covid-19 in this state. We went from having 872 active cases on July 31st to 19,360 active cases on Sunday, a TWO THOUSAND PERCENT INCREASE OF THREE AND A HALF MONTHS. On that same day in July, we had 130 deaths from Covid. Now, we are 644, a near 400 percent increase. My state has become the laughing stock of the Union. And I blame it all on the people who would rather listen to the lies than listen to science and reasoning, whether it's the simple man of this state to those in power here. While other states were cancelling state fairs and festivals and such, we were having a goddamn motorcycle rally and a state fair that are probably considered superspreaders!! If we don't see 1,000+ deaths from this before the vaccine rolls out, it will be a miracle. That's all I will say before I go completely out of control, and the Mods start firing tranquilizer darts at me as I go on a rampage.

It makes sense since most decent mouthwash will kill anything floating around in your mouth. Problem is that COVID-19 doesn't just stay in the mouth and it's not like swallowing mouthwash is a good or safe thing to do. It's lot less dangerous than say, injecting or swallowing bleach, but still not great.

The rules for this thread were being ignored by such a significant portion of the posters that for the time being we're freezing this thread and discussion on the topic. This is not permanent, maybe a week's pause, unless another Mod or three want to take the reins on this.
While the thread is locked, if you want news posted to it send me a private message with a link & quick summary. I'll check several times a day.

My wife’s uncle that I mentioned in the COVID thread passed from his infection this evening. I don’t know if that is update worthy for the thread or not, but it’s a reality for us. My condolences for your loss.
