How has the coronavirus affected your personal life?

Jeff, as usual, in your rush to find anyone & anything that supports one your many conspiracy theories, you go off the rail with posting numerous snippets - most/none that have been fact checked - in the least. The ironic part about this one, is this vid was posted days ago in this thread by someone else, and got zero play here. Now - this is suddenly BIG news. lol

There are some tips for fact checking in the following link.

Here's another tip - when you see a vid on youtube, and it starts with EXPLOSIVE Truth, it's generally anything but the truth.

Hello; Interesting. I do repair on vehicles and anymore use you tube and other videos when a task I have not done before comes up. I do not see what you imply.
Again you concentrate on putting down a source and fail to address the information itself. Why not allow those of us who are interested in the information have a discussion or join in on that aspect.

I do not see what you imply

Seriously??? I need to explain this to you? Well, that alone explains a lot.


It's called ................. SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM


A rather common practice on various online platforms, shouting in CAPS, blinking GIF's, and other eye candy for suckers, who are then readily reeled in.
If it's actually the truth, then no need to pump the story up with EXPLOSIVE on the screen. Those vids start to read like a for sale sign at the local big box furniture outlet. EVERYTHING MUST GO - CLOSING OUT CLEARANCE - THIS WEEKEND ONLY!

When in reality everything is always "on sale", this weekend the mark up was lowered to 300%, from their typical 400% mark up. lol

But apparently these cheap tactics still work, on some folks.


Sensationalism is the act of foregoing accuracy or dignity in order to capture headlines or public attention. An example of sensationalism is a magazine that follows celebrities around and often exaggerates or makes up stories about those celebrities to sell papers. noun.

I hope those that took the vaccine do not suffer any long term side effects

I hope those that don't take the vaccine do not get seriously or fatally sick

I hope one day we find out exactly how the virus established itself in wuhan before being shipped around the world

I hope we can avoid division and hostility towards each other

I hope all of you are keeping up on your water changes

I missed a water change this morning on my 360, because I was way too busy catching up on this thread!!!

Even though I haven't had covid, indirectly, it is turning me into a bad fishkeeper, lol.

Holy Toledo this thread has been overrun with misinformation over the past couple days.

This thread has been spinning in circles for the past few weeks, to those of you still being dinguses and falling for misinformation after being repeatedly corrected, you are the reason this pandemic is still as bad as it is.

Hello; I see that you took my comment out of context. Nice spin. I stated i do not see the sort of videos you claim to see. I stated that I watch auto repair videos a lot and that those do not fit the description you are writing about. Slow down and read for understanding.
If you made a mistake a simple acknowledgement of such and that will be the end of it.

Seriously... Happened to check in on this as well.

The same round and round of misinformation, grasping and posting random Youtube videos.

Wondering why the CDC recommends that people who have had COVID and recovered should get vaccinated? https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/201...fter covid:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN.Grants:FY21

While the study has limitations, One study showed that unvaccinated people who already had COVID-19 are more than 2 times as likely than fully vaccinated people to get COVID-19 again.

All of the nonsense about COVID deaths decreasing is entirely puzzling. We are still having 1400+ deaths per day. Roughly a 9/11 of death - nearly entirely people who are unvaccinated - every 2 days. Here's the CDCs COVID death tracker: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailydeaths

What's it like in hospitals? As many have posted, the lack of beds - ICU or otherwise - is resulting in crisis standards of care and the inability to properly care for patients. How about Tennessee? "In a snapshot taken Monday, Shamiyeh showed that only six ICU beds were available in East Tennessee hospitals. On that day, 88% of ICU patients were on a ventilator (144 with COVID-19 and 129 without). " https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news...covid-spike-could-overload-system/8346250002/

As in the past, such facts won't convince many that this isn't all a huge conspiracy... but maybe just a few.

Logging back off.

When we operate out of the emotional center of our brain it becomes very difficult to process abstract thoughts and our sense of humor tends to shut down.

This is when ad hominem attacks and straw man arguments tend to abound.

Unfortunately that is where many people are, regarding this issue as well as others . Emotionally escalated people are also vulnerable to manipulation.

Who profits from this?
