If it's worth the fine you will get from the EPA for not removing all hazardous pollutants and getting all the required permits first, knock yourself out.

I concur. However you guys are the one's who are so certain of yourselves. I'm the who who is doubting the narrative.

Nobody forces any of you to read these posts, and if you comment without addressing the message, who has nothing better to do?

AT and Lefty will be calling him to tell him he's wrong.

Notice how often doctors and experts say they don't know what is going on here. Here is a report for divers from the Innsbruck University in Austria. This report talks about scuba diving after YOU HAVE HAD Covid 19 READ BELOW: (Photo sourced from PIXABAY) It is now undisputed that Covid-19 should be taken seriously as a serious illness. How the late effects will have an impact will only become clear step by step. Recovered patients in diving are also at particular risk. The massive changes in the lungs can significantly increase the risk of accidents, said the senior physician of the Innsbruck University Clinic, Frank Hartig. "" This is shocking, we do not understand what is happening here. " Frank Hartig, senior physician at the Innsbruck University Clinic He heads the emergency department in the hospital and is the responsible crisis coordinator for Covid 19 patients. In the clinic, doctors have treated dozens of coronavirus sufferers in recent weeks, from symptom-free spreaders to intensive care patients on the heart-lung machine. Among them were six active divers, all of whom did not have to be treated in hospital, but cured themselves in home quarantines. All of them were not severe cases, their illnesses were five to six weeks ago and they are considered to have recovered. But they can no longer dive. "The damage to the lungs is irreversible," said Hartig in an interview with the APA. And the, "This is shocking, we don't understand what's going on here. They are probably lifelong patients, so it doesn't matter whether they dive again or not," said the doctor. The bad news was made clear by lung CTs. "They didn't get any better at all in imaging," said Hartig. "As an emergency doctor with 20 years of experience, you swallow when you see something like this in a 40-year-old patient." In the control after several weeks, two patients showed significant oxygen deficiency when under stress as a typical sign of persistent lung shunt. In two, the bronchi were still very excitable when under stress, as in asthmatics. Four out of the six divers still showed impressive lung changes on the control CT. "I even called on the X-ray to see if they had swapped the pictures because a healthy patient was sitting in front of us," said Hartig. "When they saw their own pictures, it was shocking for them," said the doctor. "You have to check regularly with such lung damage." To what extent long-term effects remain on the lungs is unclear according to the doctor and is currently speculative. "We don't know how much of the changes will last," said the doctor. When looking at the findings, however, it is difficult "to believe in complete healing". He, therefore, published an interim report in the diving magazine "Wetnote" to warn active divers. "After a Covid infection, even if you have only mild symptoms, you should definitely have a dive doctor examine you thoroughly, even if you still have an upright medical examination," said Hartig. Under no circumstances should former patients practice their sport in the summer without clarification. There is already a debate among doctors about artificial ventilation. More and more medical professionals are observing that the condition of Covid 19 patients deteriorates rapidly as soon as they are inserted into the trachea and connected to a counselling device. Hospitals in the USA have therefore been trying to delay ventilation for as long as possible. The first warnings came from Italy, where the majority of the ventilated patients died. "If you give them two litres of oxygen, the oxygen saturation will be a little better, but a few hours later, many of them will be in the intensive care unit." Frank Hartig, senior physician at the Innsbruck University Clinic Such observations are also made in the Innsbruck clinic. Patients come to the ambulance with low oxygen saturation, except for increased respiratory rate, they are fine according to the circumstances, although according to the textbook they should be intubated immediately in the case of such poor blood gases, Hartig reported. "If you give them two liters of oxygen, the oxygen saturation will get a little better, but a few hours later, many of them are in the intensive care unit with intubation and severe lung failure," said the doctor. Many doctors feel that oxygen triggers cascades. "It is worrying what we experience and what we do in the intensive care unit and it is clear how little we know," said Hartig. "We are talking to people and feel like they are over the mountain and two hours later they are dying," said the emergency doctor. In the case of seriously ill people, it is sometimes shown that oxygen can also be counterproductive. Divers have a higher level of oxygen when diving, for example, if they practice sport with Nitrox, a mixture of nitrogen with oxygen. This could be dangerous if "the lung tissue is still sensitive," warned Hartig. "For this summer we are dependent on expert opinions," he emphasized that studies will only be available next year.

"In our personal lives, decision-making involves weighing costs against benefits. Businessmen make the same calculation if they want to stay in business. It’s an entirely different story for politicians running the government where any benefit, however minuscule, is often deemed to be worth any cost, however large." "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 40,000 Americans lose their lives each year because of highway fatalities. Virtually all those lives could be saved with a mandated 5 mph speed limit. Fortunately, we consider costs and rightfully conclude that saving those 40,000 lives aren’t worth the costs and inconvenience of a 5 mph mandate." https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/04/22/examining-costs-vs-benefits-and-covid-19/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=examining-costs-vs-benefits-and-covid-19?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTTJFME5qTmhNR1E0Tm1VMSIsInQiOiJuOG9oMDI5ZzRuUjA1RjI1Zm9YMVI1WVVrUmxLSWVaVnhSd0JGQ0RaUjlOZUdyY1BtNUI1MzRiMnRCeEVjWVg2WmhEbUdXdnF3WHNBbXJteE95NWQ1VEJMWlpwMmJJVkEzSTI3OGRySm1rNmE3MHVIMlNQcUhGeituWEVZQlNLVCJ9 "The absolute worst part of the COVID-19 pandemic, and possibly its most unrecoverable damage, is the massive power that Americans have given to their federal, state, and local governments to regulate our lives in the name of protecting our health. Taking back that power should be the most urgent component of our recovery efforts." "It’s going to be challenging; once a politician, and his bureaucracy, gains power, he will fight tooth and nail to keep it."

Imagine an arsonist sets your home ablaze, the neighbors don't call 911 for an hour, the FD responds and your neighbors attack the FD for not being able to save it. Then the neighbors band together to defend the arsonist. Now imagine China is the arsonist, you're a conservative, your home is the country, Trump is the FD, and your neighbors are all leftists who want to take down Trump. Now you understand the 2020 virus crises.

Authoritarian abuse. Arrested and charged with a criminal offense. Most never got out of their cars and when they did they stayed far apart!! During the protest, drivers drove up, parked their cars and honked in front of the Statehouse and Murphy’s office. Some held signs, and about a dozen stood outside the building demanding the governor reopen the state, according to New Jersey 101.5. https://www.westernjournal.com/nj-woman-flexing-right-protest-stay-home-order-charged-criminal-violation/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=westernjournalism&utm_content=2020-04-21&utm_campaign=manualpost&fbclid=IwAR1KB_ztSRxO0b0__jwt_LmxIAv1rSAvHiNsG5Unr6WF0GlWlahVDH6QTyE

The nation grapples with a worldwide pandemic. Meanwhile Democrats are hard at work.... Pushing Gun Control Ignoring a pending economic collapse Proposing "Universal Healthcare and Universal Basic Income" Putting together a committee to Investigate Trump again. Proposing bailouts to states that are going bankrupt because of fiscal mismanagement and altruistic handouts. Refusing to offer more aid to small businesses they refuse to allow to operate. Letting as many violent criminals out of jail as possible. Clamping a lid on Joe Bide's sexual assault allegations and his mental state. Trying to eliminate the Electoral College and allow voting online and by mail. Adding pork to stimulus bills. Staying out of DC and refusing to work until they all feel "safe" there. Meanwhile they collect their pay at 100% Anyone care to tell me what they are doing that would address the crises or help America get out of this historic predicament?

The message is the important thing. I don't care where it comes from. I can refute or accept based on the message. I'm not intellectually prejudice. Biggs: Well, you’re seriously almost at Depression-era levels of unemployment in this country, and so that causes enormous economic stress in families and individual lives, and so you’re going to deal with those pathologies that arise because of that. Then on the other hand, you’ve got people whose pensions and retirement are in the market, and those markets, as you know, have taken a beating, and so you’ve had a loss of that type of savings. Then you also have people who have gone with … some kind of real estate investments, and those are going to play out negatively in the long term as well, because as businesses shut down, there’s no one to pay the rent to the landlords. Landlords then can’t pay the mortgage on that property. So you have a tremendous cascading effect going on, and it can be very difficult to get yourselves out of this, particularly if we’re going to remain closed. … There are people who are advocating staying closed a long time, until no one could possibly contract the coronavirus, and that’s really dangerous to the economy and to the physical and mental health of Americans. https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/04/21/how-and-when-should-states-reopen-rep-andy-biggs-has-answers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-and-when-should-states-reopen-rep-andy-biggs-has-answers?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWVRjeVlUQTRaV0l5TmpCaSIsInQiOiJGT3BUM21Cc2xyZ3Nna3grNERCRGFWNlVzamt3akQxaUJOcXJZUkIyNkZmVllmQkxSaG93amVNQjFkcU9nM3dFNzJvUE9Yc0RxOGt2QW44bDZJcGhGWEdoRitHaWYzT3VCbDR5WHBlbXhYTlp6U2xhY0lMZFZOV21CZHk3Z0tDZiJ9

States should “expeditiously” allow Americans to go back to work in certain areas during the COVID-19 pandemic while proceeding cautiously with targeted mitigation, caring for the vulnerable, and making realistic boosts in testing and contact tracing. https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/04/20/covid-19-recovery-panel-suggests-path-for-expeditious-return-to-work/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=covid-19-recovery-panel-suggests-path-for-expeditious-return-to-work?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWVRjeVlUQTRaV0l5TmpCaSIsInQiOiJGT3BUM21Cc2xyZ3Nna3grNERCRGFWNlVzamt3akQxaUJOcXJZUkIyNkZmVllmQkxSaG93amVNQjFkcU9nM3dFNzJvUE9Yc0RxOGt2QW44bDZJcGhGWEdoRitHaWYzT3VCbDR5WHBlbXhYTlp6U2xhY0lMZFZOV21CZHk3Z0tDZiJ9

And some of us were given a brain, and we know how to use it. An Open Letter to Governor Cuomo from WGY’s Kelly Lynch Apr 20, 2020 Photo: Getty Images 26.9K Dear Governor Cuomo, I hate to resort to this “open letter” business, but that’s where we’re at these days. We are not one of your media darlings, so calls and emails from us at the Chuck and Kelly show on WGY have largely gone unreturned for the last 10 years. Here’s the thing: when I contact your office, it’s not for me. It’s because I’m relaying very real and valid issues brought to us by concerned Upstate New Yorkers. Yes, I said Upstate New Yorkers because you and I both know there is a difference. Since you have never responded to invitations to come on our show, dating back to day 1 in office, let me introduce you to our audience. You may think we are “The RUSH Station” and all of the aspersions that carries with it. But the reality is that our show, from 5:30 to 9 am, is a non-partisan, fair, broad, topical show that ranges from the silly to the serious. We welcome opinions from all sides and do our best to present issues in a way that allows people to form their own opinions, while also sharing our own. Our listeners don’t all fall on one side or the other. They are educated, and above all, they CARE. They care about what’s happening in their community, their state and their nation. They are among the most generous people I have ever had the chance to meet or work with. Our listeners have never failed to step up and do their part to support others in the Capital Region, whether is raising money for the Children’s Hospital or our own grassroots campaign for less fortunate kids at Christmas. They amaze me with their generosity. Even when they don’t have it to give, they find a way. These are the people who listen to our show. These are also the people who are now locked in their homes and out of work. They have been staying home, like you have asked. They are homeschooling their children, like you have asked. They are canceling birthdays, weddings, funerals, surgeries, family vacations, graduations, proms, first communions, confirmations and bar/bat mitzvahs, like you have asked. They are now sucking it up and wearing masks, like you have asked. They have flattened the curve… like you have asked. And in return, questions THEY have asked, have gone unanswered. They have reached out to us to ask questions for them, we have relayed them to your office, and we have not even been given the courtesy of a “We’ll look into it and get back to you” BS reply. Over the past 6 weeks, they have asked us why you have refused to take a Cohoes company up on their offer to help build low cost ventilators with locally sourced materials, at a time when the need was climbing rapidly and you were begging for help. They asked us why you ignored an offer from Remington Arms to help provide PPE for front line workers, when they had the space and access to materials? They asked us why you ignored a Clifton Park business owner’s offer to obtain a million N95 masks when health care workers were being told to reuse the same masks over and over and over, when it was unsafe for them and their patients? And now they want to know why the state is sitting on a massive stockpile of PPE tucked away in warehouses across the state, while some front line workers STILL can’t get them. Some ambulance companies, nursing home workers and ARC workers have reached out to us personally because they can’t get enough N95 masks, yet as of April 15, there were more than 2.3 MILLION of them sitting there. I have contacted your office multiple times, and gotten the same response I have gotten all along: crickets. These are people who are putting their own health on hold and risking their families’ health to help others. They are asking for YOUR HELP and they aren’t even getting the courtesy of a reply. I don’t know how else to help our listeners when our efforts to advocate for them fall on deaf ears, because you have your media favorites and we aren’t among them. But here’s how you CAN help. We have also heard from our listeners who want to know when we in Upstate NY can begin to emerge from our homes with caution. When will it be ok to see our loved ones again? None of us want to compromise the lives of others, but we have done our part and will continue to do so. We have done everything you asked, flattened the curve and passed the apex. Now it’s time to come up with a reasonable reentry plan for Upstate. Let’s start to open the valve, like you have mentioned in your daily briefings. According to your latest power point presentation, we have less than 6% of the statewide hospitalizations. We are not in danger of overwhelming our healthcare facilities. We are now giving ventilators away to other states. Let’s protect and isolate our at risk population,while slowly allowing people to get back to work so they can pay their mortgages and put food on their tables. This is now becoming just as much of a mental health concern as a public health issue. But I don’t expect a reply. Those PPE will continue to sit in warehouses by the millions while EMTs and nursing home workers reuse their rations more times than is safe. We will continue to sit in our Upstate homes, hostage to NYC statistics. And we at WGY will continue to ask the same questions, even though we don’t ever get a response. We do it because we are committed to our listeners and our community while most of the time they feel you aren’t. Sincerely, Kelly Lynch Chuck & Kelly, 810 and 103.1 WGY [email protected]

I'm more than open to debate whatever you feel you can debate. The reason you choose not to has noting to due with being rational, for that would encourage debate. It has everything to do with being unable to refute what I have said and insufficient knowledge of the subject to covey why you believe what you do. Feelings do not win debates and have never solved a crises. Analytical decision making does. State the problem, list all possible alternatives, consider the advantages and disadvantages of them all, then choose the alternative with the most advantages and least disadvantages. That's how you solve a problem. Nobody ever won a war by having their solders hunker down and self isolate. The US will not win this battle by committing economic suicide either. There are many reasons why some politicians would like to see the US economy crippled. It's all about power and control. If you aren't worried about that, you do not understand the problem.

22 million on unemployment creates many problems. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/04/20/analysis-9m-lost-health-insurance-amid-pandemic/24049963/ "In the four weeks leading up to April 11, the number of unemployment claims passed 22 million. According to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), that means that roughly 9.2 million workers likely lost their employer-sponsored health insurance during that time." So now we are starting to hear a push for "Universal Healthcare" which would be giving complete control of your health to the government, along with whatever the government decides you have to pay in taxes to have it. What could possibly go wrong? There is also a push for "Universal Basic Income", where the government would insure everyone gets a check to bring their income to $2000 a month. Wouldn't that vastly increase all of our deficits and debt and make many people dependent on the government for survival. As stated in the original post. These are very serious issues and we need to be looking at the total picture during this crises.

Economists are trying to warn us, but the media isn't reporting what they are saying. https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2020/04/20/trump-adviser-stephen-moore-its-time-to-reopen-the-economy-because-we-are-seeing-real-devastation/24048087/ "You’re talking about real devastation. So that’s why I have been such a bull on getting the economy open quickly. Really it’s just heartbreaking, and you see what’s happening with the food lines, with people at the Salvation Army where trucks in some cities are a mile long. We are facing real devastation here, and the human toll is growing with each passing day.”

Information regarding the virus is constantly changing and as we learn more about it, we learn the futility of our past efforts as well. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/04/20/how-many-people-have-had-coronavirus-with-no-symptoms/24046958/ If infections are more widespread than previously understood, it’s possible that more people have developed some level of immunity to the virus. That could stifle the spread through what’s called herd immunity, but scientists caution that there is still much to learn about whether mild illnesses confer immunity and how long it might last. It will probably be months before enough reliable testing has been done to answer those questions and others, including how widespread infections have been and the virus's true mortality rate, which has only been estimated so far.

Most medical people readily admit they don't really have a clue. That's why "experts" is in quotes. They "practice" medicine. Get it? A man who's tag is "Left Field" is Lefty to me. It won't do a damn bit of good to come up with ideas to "strengthen" the economy after we have killed it. It will be dead. I'm trying to get dolts to realize that. None of you want to acknowledge the severity of a pending depression. That proves you're not just not listening, you're obstinate. Therefore, you aren't being ignored, you're insignificant. As for sympathy, I'm a man of faith. I believe in the afterlife. I do not fear death, nor do I pity the dead. Faith tells me they are in a better place than I am, and considering what a world of crap we are in right now, I think that has never been more true. The people who will need to live through an avoidable depression are the one's we should consider crying for, because they will be praying for a good death. If you guys were capable of extrapolation based on current events, you would realize you are going to see more untimely deaths than you imagine if we don't get things back on track as soon as possible. You weep for today's victims. I'll concentrate on preventing tomorrow's. Time will tell who understood this situation better.
