The Woodshed

[QUOTE=AnandaJim;4858821]You really should expand your information sources; Deaths absolutely HAVE increased, and the percentage of deaths associated with Covid-19 is nearly 5%. The facts are readily available.[/QUOTE]The CDC released the new IFR (Infectious Fatality Rate) almost two months ago and overall it's. 26% that's it. 26% it's right here on the graph. And deaths are down, they have been steadily decreasing over the last three months. There is no question of that. You can believe whatever you wish but you have no facts. I know you're going to want to keep fighting about this because that's what you like.

I mean, if healthcare workers have to go to work, it would appear everyone else should also. If masks aren't really effective, then healthcare workers should stay home too and we know how that would go.

Most people either listen to left leaning or conservative leaning networks. Both have agendas which involve telling half-truths. The big spike in cases in the states isn't all about increased testing because hospitalization rates are going up considerably nationally as of late. More people are getting sick irrespective of testing.

Yes death rates are down nationally, but they are up and to a significant degree as of late in at least three states, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Also we will know more soon as to the outcomes of recent spikes in cases in these and other areas. It takes time for the stricken to die. Also hospitalization rates are spiking in Arizona and Texas. They probably are in Florida as well, but reporting on this has been inconsistent over the last three months. In any case these increased hospital rates undermines any claim that the spikes in cases in these states are due to increased testing. Check the graphs.

Also confirmed cases and death rates are spiking in many Latin American countries. Have a look around. Click on the county of your choice, scroll down and check the graphs. Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina would be good places to start.

Lastly it's not just about life and death. Not only is getting sick as hell no fun, but there is evidence that Covid-19 causes lasting, serious medical conditions in survivors. All in all, be careful out there gentlemen.

Performing trend analysis on a day by day basis is a fool's errand, guys. You simply cannot extrapolate any meaningful firm conclusions about infection patterns or fatality rates from the available datasets. Too much remains unknown & public policies based on denial & wishful thinking are not helping the situation. Neither viruses nor science care what you believe. And that includes where you get your news.

Nothwithstanding my own centrist political inclinations, I am a research scientist & getting my information from epidemiologists & other medical professionals, not from MSM & certainly not from social media or fucking Fox. I probably should leave it at that.

I will get chastised for this but I just don't care about the virus. I live under the guise that we will all get it, just when and how severe are the open questions. I don't wear a mask unless it is mandatory and have done everything with the exception of licking doorknobs and have been okay so far. Am I living on borrowed time? Quite possibly but I sure the fuck am not going to hide in my house for 2 years while they work on a possible vaccine.

People keep grinding the stats into dust but you are still sitting at home and wearing masks so from my perspective the data is just a political tool used by both sides so they have something to point fingers at and try to place blame.

Do our best to protect the elderly/vulnerable and move on with life. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to stop the deaths possibly including my own if it takes me out. Morbid? Yes, but open and honest.

I'm not hiding in the house either. I've gone on with life but still take reasonable precautions. There are middle grounds between between hiding in fear and caution to the wind.

You know everytime ya give a ride to one they tell you a story or two. Yet I guess sometimes they tell the truth. Not going to get into details. So I'm at the site, doing the usual duties, then get up to take a leak. Run into her. I'm like nah. That can't be so.
Then taking a little smoke break there she go again. Granted the site has mask required. Yet I just had a hunch, so I walked by took a good look at her. Yep most definitely her, and what she told me matches up to what she was doing there LOL. She has a feature that is hard to miss.

Doubt she recognized me, (or wishful thinking) bc I make certain I look worlds apart on the hunt, then how I look on the regular. Even use a "town" car. Plus with the mask it should be hard to tell. Hopefully. Man all day had me thinking of scenarios. I'm glad it was a SW and not a provider though. Obvious reasons LOL.

Not sure how to word this but Admin can hit me, LOL. Are Percocets worth anything on the street or in trade? Asking for a friend.

[QUOTE=SuitMan;4868711]This girl is a waste of time. Apparently goes by Ashley.

Initial comms were good. Set a date for today. I texted 40 minutes before and she said all set, come on over.

Has to ask for address twice. Finally got that. Announced via text I was in the parking lot (hooker village on JTB). The same parking lot that is being frequented by JSO for this very reason.

Waited 20 minutes for the room. No response. I usually give 15 but she seemed worth it. Driving back to the office she calls. WTF are you? I explained I waited and no response. Maybe we can reschedule. She hangs up.

Texts me that I should have called her per instructions from her. No such instructions. Tells me I was in the wrong parking lot (she gave me the address) Calls me a "fucktard" which I think is bad?

Now blows my phone up 30 minutes later and has me confused with some other guy giving her a bad review. SMH.

There has got to be a better way. This girl is either on the candy, bi-polar or both. Either way, I will not be trying again. Beware!

Suit.[/QUOTE]Glad to know my instinct was correct. Great scam by the guys talking her up here. Will be sure to avoid any one they talk up again. Seems that sort of action should get them removed from here.

Thats uncalled for, if anything your should be removed. So what you are telling me is that I can't report of my experiences; isn't this what the site is for.

We are all stood up even from best providers that we all agreed are legitimately stellar. Example, I have yet been able to date Summer because her coms to me is lurky, I texted a hand full with some replys then goes dark.

Took me several trys to dream with Bizzy, BB Brandy etc. But, eventually I got to see them. But when comes was bad or ladies turnout not so great as compared to reviews, I'm not going to freakin hold it against people reporting positive dreams, because I can't get my foot in the door.

Another question comes to mind. You mentioned dirty talks as a tech that you use to weed out ladies. Many girls hate that shit, it's demeaning and disrespectful. I respect all girls that I date. Often than not I receive great service. You may want to change your approach. Just sayin.

Again, I'm not promoting anyone, I'm sharing my experiences only, and her number was not listed, I had it and offered to share it. You are wrong with what you are suggesting.
