They just now can actually test you and you think they organized a database? :)

I get two weeks paid if I test positive, pretty sure I already had it though.



lol, classic

Like I said, this is not over, what about the talk of passports? I do not trust the Gov., especially the California Gov.

You get two weeks pay but do you get to go back to work? As soon as you tell them, voluntary, you become a legal liability. And, who would not want to sue Bezos company.

Ha, I’ve used that with my fellow electric company workers, give a lineman a free bowl of ice cream, they’d ***** about the flavor.

I mean, if you have free ice cream I know a stores attendant-A that won’t turn it down.

.....

Ignorance is bliss, "they" say. So if you aren't sure where you could get tested, you must be a very blissful person. :shakehead

....

I am quite blissful though, namaste.

:ohgeez:

Let's say you're an asymptomatic carrier. Everyone's been saying that these people can spread the virus without knowing it. But if you're one of the symptomatic victims, you eventually (hopefully) reach a point when you're over it and presumably not spreading it anymore. However there is no "over it" stage for asymptomatic people, so are they infectious forever or do they eventually stop shedding virus also?

Your body produces antibodies which over time eventually wipe out the virus in your body; the presence of these antibodies is what makes an antibody test show positive. That's the easy part, the hard part is that there's no evidence that having overcome the virus/the antibodies prevents you from becoming infected again.

If you show up to work with a fever (and they use entry-mounted thermal cameras to determine this,) it's three days out no pay, then come back. If you produce a positive test, it's two weeks with pay, then come back. I think the first person who tested positive here was roughly two weeks ago, so maybe they'll tell us about it..

Dude,

When the richest nation in history has it economy upside down, I would not be surprised by what government could or would do. Look what we lost with the Patroit Act after 9/11.

And, this is the county doing these tests, you Don't think they will have a database? They had records of these things 700 years ago, maintained by the church. Of course there will be a database, and you must know they will want all your information. They sell these databases for a lot of money, maybe not with your name, but Sex, age, location.

Red, You are absolutely correct! A data base is a given, as simple as scanning your CA drivers lic. Do you think they'll first ask permission lol

That's right they make it easy. What I'm saying is the amount of money lost due to this is unbelievable no losses like this have ever happened, and the powers that are loosing everyday are, at some point, going to get some action taken. We can not continue like this for two years, if there even is a Vax. by then.

Did you ever think you would ever see the country shut down? Even in the dark days of WWII the economies of Europe still functioned.

Hm, well I can't see that they'd do much to me using the info, but I can see that it'd just be a logical step in general SHTF prepping. I dunno, I always want to ask Sub_Umbra about these things..

When the President said “The cure can’t be worse than the disease” he himself may not have realized how true that was.

You're supposed to interpret it as unnecessary anger and then be angry at me about it. Or something. Still not sure how this thread works.

Do you guys have flowers yet?

Nope. It was, and still is funny to me. I was thinking of you enjoying a good brew and some consumables ..... smiled and it turned into a laugh. :thumbsup:

We're having one of the best weather Springs I can remember. Bulbs are up and showing color and the trees are coming on.

 

[RedLED]

What a nice yard. Reminds me of England.

Wow. I missed a whole page. Catching up was mostly fun. I see one member still quarreling with everybody. Who knew?

And uh, yeah……there's a data base alright. Dr Birx talked about it today. So did the CDC fellow with the beard, I forget his name.
They hinted about it yesterday. Today they revealed what they are tracking and they just morphed it into the flu tracking system where they track every "recorded" upper respitory infection. They even showed where the labs are state by state. (Missourians, you have nothing to fear lol, they don't have labs in your state.)

Someone asked (paraphrasing) "how will you know the spread rate once things relax?" They replied "trust us, we'll know mwew ah ah ahhhh" then they started showing how they'll know.

They learned how to in the 80's when AIDS broke out.
I said before, my uncle was deemed "case #85" way back in like 93 and they actually knew where case #1 originated. He had been carrying it for like 15 years they said when he got sick from the HIV virus.

Plus they have contact traced a whole bunch of people. A bunch!!

I'm with red, I don't want to be in their data base either. Thus far (in my view) our leaders have not been really bad people. I mean Nepoleon bad, but one day we will elect a Napoleon, a Castro, dare I say it, a Hitler. I mean real McCoy not the CNN or Fox says they are type. And with all of that data they have. Holy Smokes……I hate to even imagine it.

Nice spot to hunker down in. Congrats :twothumbs

I'm the messenger here. Also, I have no intention of being tested!

Before you post, RedLED, know that in CPF everyone, even a king's messenger, is held accountable for the words of his keyboard.

300 my friend. 300.

***** Five star post. :thumbsup:

I still wanna know how they know that kid in the congo who hasn't been around civilization is positive for the novel corona virus.

And how much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck had covid-19……

 

[bigburly912]

I still wanna know how they know that kid in the congo

Yet some Californians don’t know how or where to go to get a test?

 

[Chauncey Gardener]

RedLED and SCEMan,

Thank you very much. The Lovely Mrs Gardiner and I have enjoyed it as home for the better part of 35 years.

The first picture was L@@King out the window to my right when seated at the kitchen table. Below is the view L@@King out of the window to my left..... or will be in about a month's worth of Spring.

Without even seeing all the stages of re-opening the economy, One in particular concerns me as a violation of privacy.

The use of technology to do contact tracing. I think I heard once that they were working with Apple and Google.

My daughter uses an Apple app (maybe it is built in to be able to locate her phone if it is lost, or her children's whereabouts) MY phone is an android, and with a number of apps, it will track my speed, and locations, and my siblings and I keep an eye on my Dad, what percent charge, where he is, what speed he is traveling, where he is, and follow him as he drives around.

A couple of years ago, I didn't allow my phone to give my location to any business, or app, but it made the phone so much less usable that I relented. Now.. I am no where near invisible.

I can only imagine that in a "National Emergency" and the fact that tracing has already been mentioned that we will see the day that our movements will be traced. I hope that would be a violation of our constitutional rights, but I don't know. If however it is decided that it is for the public good, and passed until the Supreme Court hears the case (which may take a couple of years) that the enactment of any such legislation, if enacted, would have a time limit on it.

Thoughts?
