Wishing you and your uncles all the best Tex. Having two of three off the vent is already good luck, here’s hoping they all pull through it
Thank you! Good luck to you in your work there in AZ!

WGAF?Certainly not Campfire members! I mean none of them are male, over 50, over weight, diabetic, A-fib, smokers or have asthma.Yes, none of those people should GAF.... I am 67 and probably weigh 15 lbs. more than I should, have a leaking aortic, and was successfully treated for A-fib 5 years ago (cardiac ablation). The way I look at it is I'm expendable if the alternative is to burn down the U.S. economic structure to a point it cripples the next generations. I have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren to think about. I could say I've payed my way and deserve to hang around for 20 more years to hell with the cost. I've worked since I was 14 or 15 at some pretty tough occupations. My health is actually not bad as I can still spend 10 hours on a tractor, run a chain saw, or rope a cow and pull a mispresented calf. But I know I'm on the downhill and truthfully getting killed so to speak in the saddle is far preferable to 5 years in a nursing home. I would love to be around to continue to travel and keep my oldest grand daughter with me as much as her parents allow but I am not willing to grind the economy to a halt and throw trillions of debt on the country to save a few old folks like me.

He said they EXPECT 100,000 to 240,000. Without social distancing its PROBALE up to ten times more. Correct and they also said maybe less, if we keep the fûck away from each other for another month. Love you all. When can I come for a visit? MI deer season starts when? Are non-res tags hard to get? We can hunt 6' apart if we still have to. I'm a believer. Will a camo facemask keep out the Corona? Geno

I'll have to see what I draw for hunting here, and clear it with the dog mom, maybe I can make it MI for a deer hunt. Scope out the good places, I'll take a doe even, can't eat horns as they say...............and find out where the fish are biting at that time of year too. If I put in for a buffler in AZ and draw, I'll bring you some hump. Geno

How about to save the lives of many of our care providers? How about to keep insurance funds from going bankrupt paying for life support for some millions of Covid patients in the US? How about to keep our hospitals out of bankruptcy courts after they expend funds and materials in an attempt to save patients? Some trillions lost to the economy is not a trivial thing. But neither are the matters mentioned. It is not just the death count to consider.

This sucks...............but I'm glad this is taking more old people if someone has to go. I can not conceive the thought of 500,000 children and young adults dying.

It will be interesting to see how Sweden does: With most of Europe imposing extraordinary restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus, Sweden has left its citizens surprisingly free. Are Swedes rolling the dice with their public health, or is everyone else overreacting? As most of Europe clamps down in a bid to slow the spread of Covid-19, one country is bucking the trend. Sweden is taking a markedly more liberal approach to combatting the virus. Despite its closest neighbours, Denmark and Norway, shutting down all but essential services, Swedes remain free to socialise as the harsh Scandinavian winter comes to an end. Although universities and high schools have shut, pre-schools, kindergartens, bars, restaurants, ski resorts, sports clubs and hairdressers have all remained open. Sweden says no to quarantineSo far Swedens numbers are better than the US. They're officially only testing the "old and the sick," which means their numbers don't mean much. Which differs in what way from how we are doing it? Hell, I know a 20 something who is sick and neither the hospital nor a doc in the box will test him. They both said "Assume you have it and stay home."
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

I believe that Denmark is locked down, so we will see.

Are they worth more than me and my wife? Why? Worth more than the 60 year old physicians trying to save a bunch of sick folks right now? Or the 75 year old Rabbi or Pastor of their church? I'd be gladder if it was "just a bug" and wasn't killing anyone, old or young. Geno

I'm quite familiar with the area his camp is in, and in all my hunting and fishing exploits there over a 2 year period I ain't seen a unicorn, 200 lbs, 150 lbs, or nothin like one neither. kingston, I'll try to remember that too. Give me a good reason to look up some folks. Of course, they be old now too, and according to some people, it's mo betta that they die now instead of the youngins. Geno
