    Should have chopped the finger off and cauterized the wound, putting an end the the COVID stuff months ago. Now we are stretching it out and the entire arm is rotting. 

    So George, what's the never ending plague plan? First it was only two weeks to flatten the curve, then don't wear a mask, then, nope, we lied, wear a mask, then ok, open up after cases decline, then 'protestors' and rioting that continue to this day, but they're not the problem, you maskless heathen are, and NOW we HAVE to wait until there is a vaccine? That about right? I also recall your 'experts' saying there would be MILLIONS of dead in the US and UK, and plague afflicted zombies clawing at hospital doors to be hooked up to a ventilator, whilst mass graves of dead victims were bulldozed closed out back.

    The left and the media have consistently lied and have only their sick power hungry agenda


  2. There was already an NJ2AS splinter group that was formed awhile ago when whiners were not happy with Frank, the founder. A poster on here named Wojo, I believe was involved in it. Never went anywhere of course, they probably couldn't agree on what to call it.


  3. I was at one of my local LGS's and the place was very busy for a Friday afternoon. Lots of new shooters and guns and ammo--what they have--are flying off the shelves again. Like Coronavirus part deux (which will be a big dud of course).

    I'd be fine if the PDs are greatly reduced, there are too many cops.  New Jersey is WAYYYY over copped, every little shitpoke town has to have their own cops.  And then the counties have some amount of cops, then the State police. Cut it all back to county and state level.

    Remember when the Camden PD was reorganized and County-fied? Many fearmongers on here even, said there would be a bloodbath with home invasions in the tony suburbs. Didn't happen. Didn't help things in Camden of course, but that's beyond hope. Reducing the number of cops and laws (or de facto enforcement) won't cause the world to end.

    Do you guys do whole bean or ground?  I was doing whole bean on the thought that by grinding fresh each team it would be the best tasting coffee, but honestly I'm not sure I noticed a difference.

    Grinding whole bean forever. Have had at least 25-30 grinders, some real fancy some cheap. Anyone else remember the coffee grinder machines at the checkouts at A&P? As far as bang for the buck, 8'oclock coffee (whole bean) is STILL the champ. The Italian Espresso roast is very good and comparable or better than small roasters (BRC, Rook, Buddy Brew, etc.) Not a lot of indies do a great dark roast, and many times they dry out the beans too much. Costco has a rotating lineup of whole beans which can be hit or miss. Best coffee I had was 100% Kona I had got from a small place that sold in the Pearl Harbor exchange. When it was gone that was it till the next year.

    Colloquially, SARS refers to the specific strain that was from 2003. COVID 19 is not that strain. So just because they are both severe acute respiratory syndromes doesn't mean they are the same thing and that the same treatment would automatically work.

    Sums up the whole thing and how ridiculous the hype was despite there only being anecdotal, unproven evidence being used to tout it as a miracle drug. Sweden had to stop because people were going blind on the drug. In Brazil, they had to stop people people developed dangerous heart conditions. There's a large study with lower doses than what were used in Brazil but still higher than what people take it at for malaria or lupus. But as of yet, there's no legit studies showing that it works on COVID-19. 

    Except where it nearly killed people or made them go blind or didn't prove to help or make it worse.

    "Proof" from one of your house organs, Georgie? Methinks not. Lets see some hard data, hm? "Wired". what a joke you and your ilk are. Uneducated and uncouth and unknowing. Begone, you boorish flapdoodle!

    Damn matty, so sorry to hear that.

    Thanks, I really appreciate it. It runs in her family (10% of cases do), her mother died of ALS in 2011, and two other relatives years back. This is the 2nd time I have had to deal with this, much worse now with her only having a few weeks or months left. And 3 teens at home trying to get schoolwork done while locked out of school and I still have to work on site, etc....but enough whining.

    I have learned more than I wanted to about genetic testing and ventilators and medications. There's no cure for ALS, of course, but each person is totally different in how it affects them. Her mother lost speech and ability to swallow long before she could not walk. My wife is unable to move any part of her body except one hand a little. She was able to speak and eat however, normally, until a few weeks ago. She does not want to go to a nursing home, so we have people coming in to help. It's still a major toll on her and everyone else. Get out and enjoy your lives and everyone while you can, don't live in fear.

    I can't answer for him, but the ones I do know about are ALS/MD/MS and polio.    Polio was the reason for all the Iron Lungs used in the 1920s up through the late 50s.    Trauma is another thing that can cause it.  The nerve cluster that runs the diaphragm can get severed or damaged.  There's probably a bunch of things, most of which end up with the person dying so it tends not to be a chronic condition, the above examples aside of course.

    ALS in my wife's case.

  8. I got a finger pulse-ox for my wife from Walgreens last fall, when she had a hypoxia event. Was like $30. Ended up in t he hospital for a week, and is now on her ventilator pretty much 24/7 now. Her oxy drops fast off it since her diaphragm no longer works, pretty much, but goes back up to 93-95 or higher steady.

    Make sure to not wear a mask

    I'm not

    and feel free to shake hands, hug people, ignore their coughing since it's probably just allergies.

    It is,  I have had allergies this year, not too bad though

    Don't bother washing your hands either.

    I washed my hands about the same before the plague

    After all, you clearly don't think hundreds dying a day in this state alone is a big deal. Clearly it won't happen to you, right?

    People die every day. You are welcome to hole up in your mom's basement whilst the rest of us go out and have fun and run the world, there snow flake. Or should I say Shill Of George--
