OT: The Arizona Coyotes Lounge XVII - Office Space

[MIGs Dog]

I thought this board had a COVID thread. Now I have to look at some of these idiotic takes in the Lounge thread?

Fairly certain you can find idiotic takes on every thread.

I do post in most of them. The fantasy hockey thread should be safe, though.

I shoulda known better. This was my bad. I've been ignoring this stuff for six months and didn't realize it was still such a hot-button. I thought it would be safe to ask for a general update, and temp-check my understanding of stuff from a high-level. I have learned that things are about where they were 11 months ago in terms of heated and varying opinions. I'll go back to ignoring - LOL

Sports fans are better conditioned to cope with disappointment, ergo happier with life's realities. We should all send RT a thank you card.

Whomever wrote that article never read HFBoards.

I resemble that remark.

It did.... it was closed due it nearing the post limit and the traffic had slowed to the point where a new one wasn’t justified.

Nobody is required to read every post on the board and there are tools available for limiting what you see.

The Lounge itself is a catch all topic so expect to see a wide variety of things.

I'll eat healthy, exercise and take care of my body, then I will take my chances and can count on my immune system. I am not against anyone that chooses to eat unhealthy, not exercise or take vaccines, its up to you, to each his own, all I am saying. Let everyone choose for themselves what they think is best for them.

All well and good until you get a mild disease, and as your healthy and unvaccinated body fights it off, you give the disease to someone's grandma at the local health food store and you kill her.

The experts say that even if vaccinated I can still contract the disease and spread it to someone else. So if grandma dies, it's either because she's unvaccinated or the vaccine didn't work on her.

After COVID-19 vaccination: Is it OK to visit with friends and loved ones?

I know you are smarter and more logical than this comment

Are asymptomatic carriers actually a primary driver of COVID-19 spread, or is that a fairly small contributor?

EDIT:
Dangit, I may have hot-buttoned again. I'd say maybe bump the COVID thread but that might not be good for our health. LOL. I guess I'll just use Google for my questions instead of this board. LOL

Life is full of "what ifs".... It's not worth arguing over.

No argument IMO...just a friendly discussion.

My understanding is that asymptomatic carriers can transmit it, but not as easily as someone who's coughing up a lung.

I know. I was taking some literary license to make the point that we have a responsibility to our society as well as to ourselves.

That’s why Google hasn’t been helpful. I really don’t care if it’s possible. I care if it happens regularly. Meaning there is a notable segment of transmissions that occur via asymptomatic carriers.

Everything out there is politically motivated hysteria on both sides. Lol

I wash my hands, I wear a mask, and I don't associate with others when I am sick. That gramma maybe shouldn't be in that store either or take her own precautions/mask/gloves/whatever.

Aren't all of these staked claims and hard feelings very fleeting? I mean, this pandemic is ending and it's happening right now. A year from now, should any of us care who was pro-mask and who was anti-mask? Do we think this is something we're going to have to deal with regularly?

The thing I like most about this board is reading other Fan's opinions. Personally I don't care what each person thinks about Covid or anything else for the most part. I do fall prey to the testosterone curse when the sheep start being dicks when someone has the nerve to have an opinion they don't agree with. Luckily the mods delete that stuff before we all wind up meeting and murdering each other.

Good point. The only fly in the ointment is getting enough people vaccinated to create heard immunity, so that we can protect those whom we cannot vaccinate.

For some, being asked to wash their hands and put on a mask was the end of the world. For the rest of us normal people it was just Tuesday. I think you have to be pretty far gone to 'both sides' this.

I just follow the rules. If the sign says do it, I do it...

Tell that to the Gov't, CDC, Fauci and the rest of the science and disease know it all's that change their tune more often than you change your shorts. They don't know what the f--- responsibility means, and they could care less about society, it's all about them and their 15 minutes of fame. Hope all are getting ready for the big tax hikes that these idiots caused. We won't even talk about inflation and all the other bullshit that will follow. rt you should have keep quiet, look what you have done.

When tax hikes and inflation start to become real in the near future, covid and pandemic will become part of our daily vocabulary.
