  1. Not so sure that is all accurate. Looks like some of the crap I get inundated with in my emails, despite reporting it as spam and unsubscribing. Actually had a new one I read just yesterday showing that hydoroxychloroquine was totally ineffective according to a study from some health journal that was from the New York area and looked to be legit. Honestly if the above you pasted here were at all true, I would tend to think Trump would have already fired Fauci. And fwiw, people do have a choice due to the law Trump said he passed allowing patients to request off label meds, hydroxychloroquine. Problem is that some of the studies from what I have read online is that the antiviral is NOT as effective without using azithromycin(Z pack). Some people cannot take that antibiotic for cardio issues. In the event I get this virus I will be requesting hydroxychloroquine.

    COVID-19 - Impact

    Good luck selling the house and getting things closed up on the new place Frank. Biggest single day increase in TN since this started with 1156 new confirmed positives. Leading up to today the day to day new cases were outnumbering the recovered number by a large margin 2 to 3 times. Todays new confirmed positives are 5 times the number of those recovered. Hospitalizations continue to be increasing. Does not appear that TN has reached its peak yet. Had a sams club early hours click n pull pick up and had to go to tractor supply. Some people were not following social distancing guidelines at either place.
  7. Looks like creepy sleepy demented Joe may Bedun. (sorry couldn't resist) Soooo, in the event he is ousted who will the DNC elevate to take his place?
  8. Different applications, really depends on the primary purpose. That being said, most my rifles are topped with nikon glass, none are "AR" specific but some do have bdc reticles.

    Governor opening things up here despite hospitalizations, confirmed cases, and deaths still being on the rise. Will be over ten thousand confirmed positives here with this afternoon's report. Closing in on a thousand hospitalizations. Thought the plan for reopening said there had to be declining numbers for 14 consecutive days, Tennessee according to the numbers that the state is supplying the public has not met that criteria. The group of homes Catrina works for is paying lpn's $30 an hour and rn's $40 and all expenses to go to their Detroit area homes. Not even close to being worth it in my opinion. She had one that went with the understanding that she will not be able to return to work here until she has had a negative test. Of course those taking up the calls to help elsewhere potentially leave their coworkers having to pick up extra to cover their absence, possibly causing other issues.

    Seems like the numbers here are pretty well staying steady or even still rising, not declining. Had our first fatality in our county show up in the report today with no details. Statewide there were 9 deaths since yesterday and 450 new confirmed cases. More testing facilities to open soon. Still broad discrepancies in numbers with the state ".gov" site lagging behind. Unfortunately with some of the big jumps in numbers early on with nursing home residents being taken, think there is a false sense of this thing going flat. Heard something pretty ignorant last night on the local news about the opening of restaurants and social distancing and occupancy rules to limit to 50 percent occupancy. Report suggested that people continue to wear their masks while at dining establishments which seemed well stupid. Right, wear a mask in a sit down eating place ummm how you supposed to eat while wearing that mask????

    Sad hearing about the mass shooting in NS yesterday, had to wonder the way they talked about the shooter if he got to his breaking point.

    Yep, seems social distancing here has gone out the window people out spending their cares checks rather than paying their bills. Hope I am wrong, but afraid a rebound in spiking numbers is only a matter of time away due to carelessness and stupidity. Up to 31 confirmed cases in our county. Lots of sorry people, parking lots and carts being littered with latex gloves. Folks are showing their true colors.
  13. Nice addition Shaun. Pretty wood on that Remi.

    COVID-19 - Impact

    Official word came out yesterday that our school district would not be back in the classrooms for the remainder of this school year. Number of positives locally is not climbing at a fast rate however a coworker of our son in-law tested positive on Monday. We had just been to visit them Sunday for our granddaughters first birthday. Wife went to Walmart yesterday, said not much change in what's on the shelves. Evidently according to the health dept in the county just to the south of us a fair percentage of those testing positive in this area had "no known exposure".
  15. Thanks for sharing. Got a late start into hunting here, but after over 25 years of time in the woods I still occasionally get fooled by other critters. But guess that is part of it, being surprised when you have that buck pop out that stealthily snuck into your grunts and showed up with you not ready or the buck that appears over a field ridge in the middle of the field that you never saw at the edges. Part of what gets the heart pumping imo is the element of surprise. And too many times to count have and still have it happen where in the dark sitting in a stand in the woods have a deer you hear walk in and all of a sudden you quit hearing it but as it gets light the deer vanished. Biggest tip is to be alert and pay attention and learn, don't discount details. Too many times to count have had clues that I just knew a good buck was around by factors/details that I have learned over the years to pay attention to. Even after over 25 years seems I learn or see something new each year that I had never seen or noticed before.
  16. Thank God you didn't post pictures. lol.

    That would seem to be some good news. Seems to be some controversy in the news the past few days on how fatalities are being counted whether comorbidities are being labeled as the cause of death or if coronavirus is being to blame or being listed as a related death. Tennessee crossed the 100 coronavirus related deaths mark on Friday or Saturday, over 5000 confirmed positives now, 21 positives in our county but no fatalities. Have not heard anything to suggest any changes to our governors last statewide order. Imagine our schools will remain closed for this school year.

    Hey y'all

    Congratulations on the kiddos and the job Will.
  19. Chucky is about as demented as pelosi.
  20. Looks like a great way to spend your quarantine. Congratulations Al, to you and those you helped. Way to go getting others on their first birds.
  21. Welcome to the forums. Was using a grunt call before all the hype ever started. I typically carry one grunt call, same one I have had for over 20 years. I do also carry the original primos can call from November to season end.

    As of yesterday the death toll in TN was at 72, with over 400 hospitalizations. Over 4000 confirmed positives. There were 13 positives in our county and 47 in the county to our south where the nearest large hospital and majority of physicians in this area are located. Expected peak here will be in the next 2 weeks. An article I read said the ihme has made some adjustments to their speculations on the fatalities in the state with significantly lower numbers than they put out early on.
  23. Video removed by uploader message. I don't make a habit of watching you tube anyway, unless I am trying to find a fix for something I am not familiar with in which case it is extremely useful. Far as social media, wife gets stuff from nursing on her fb. She had a story earlier this week that some nurse in Oklahoma was shot at while pumping gas for wearing scrubs. The story warned nurses not to wear scrubs outside of work that they would be targeted. Person shot at supposedly said the person who shot at her told her she was infecting everyone else because she was wearing her scrubs out in public. I had to look the story up on a reputable news site. Unfortunately many out there believe everything they read on social media. Turned out that the highway patrol put out a statement that the story was not accurate and they had no reason to believe that nurses were being targeted or in any danger for wearing scrubs. Imo, those creating this type hysteria and fear especially under the current situation should be charged with whatever authorities can throw at them.
  24. Good to see you check in. Saw something last week on the news that showed about Cook county Illinois coroner. Reminded me about you, stay safe.

    While rates are gonna be great, suspect it may be a very bad time to try to sell. Honestly thinking a housing market crash is on the horizon and may be some deals to be had. It may seem wrong, but Catrina and I have talked some about trying to pick up a rental or two in the future.
