BS ! ! ! Once again, far reaching unsubstantiated evidence or statistics. While I know they are mainly talking about children and young adults(18-24) , where are the surveys of older adults that are more susceptible to Covi-19 because of Asthma/Bronchitis/COPD and who are ex-smokers - who are now vaping, that are breathing much better and have not subcomed (?sp) to COVID-19. . . . Just Sayin' . . .


Oh YEA - Afternoon Misfits . . .

[Uncle Willie]

Yeah, well, if "they" are so concerned, perhaps clearing the shelves of cigarettes is in order as well ..

I think that the sharing of cigarettes/vapes by youth in groups, is probably the biggest factor in why there are more cases. This is just my opinion, but it makes more sense than the other possible reasons that were presented in that article. When I was a kid, we all used to share cigarettes and hang out. I imagine kids still do this too. If they study alcohol use in youth, I would think that they'd find a similar connection. Bet they don't ban alcohol though...

That will never happen.

Adults still share that other stuff you smoke.

B.S.!!!!!

SO...the cig smokers can keep on puffing??!!

Oh wait...the cig manufacturers are bought off...and our very upright, honest gov'ment hauls in taxes from the sales of them...I get it...

 

[MikeE3]

it's them, not you, and you should get at least a rebate.

Supposedly the business office is tracking the outage/downtime for its customers and will apply an automatic credit to the next bill. Yea, right, I'll believe that if and when I see a credit on my next bill.

 

[MikeE3]

Ya think this had anything to do with how many congressmen and big wigs smoke premium cigars, Nah, not likely, just a coincidence I'm sure.

From that:
The study, based on an online survey, also found that young people who have a history of using both e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes were seven times more likely to be diagnosed with Covid-19 compared with those who have never used either product.

One heck of a scientific study... ALL anecdotal, but it says what they want.

I suspect any of us could put together an ONLINE SURVEY that proves, or disproves, any thing we want. Or, as they possibly did, just make it all up.

Yeah, I'm going to claim a survey says I'm hung like a, er, mouse .. .. of course, that would be made up .. or is it .. ??

 

[oldbroad]

Good morning friends!

I'm the first one here??!!

( as you can see...I've already consumed three cups..I spelled every word correctly..)

 

[DavidOck]

But judicious use of the spill chicken can due that two.

And, of coarse, some miss steaks can be fond with the grandma checker as well

Hola ..

RIP Trinidad “Trini” Lopez, another victim of Covid ..

[Anise]

Good morning everyone!

 

[MikeE3]

Today's the day ... new front door arrives at noon.

 

[Janet H]

Good morning Anise! It's a good morning because our internet is back up!!! Well, it's been up since last night so I'm hoping it's fixed now. Whew! We did find out that Mike was able to get on a chat within 15 minutes of connecting to the Verizon Facebook site. The person he talked to looked at the notes for our ticket and some of the info was wrong, but guess that's moot now, but good to know for the future. What a mess this has been!

More good news! The crew is here to replace our front door! The new door is supposed to show up before lunch so hopefully the prep work will be ready for them. Woohoo!
