Pray for Emma Bates - She might have Covid-19

60 million people will die in the world this year. We should pray for all of them.

There is no cure, so testing random people is pointless. She should assume she has it and act accordingly.

If she were a health care worker I would feel differently. They are needed now, runners are not. She can sit at home for 2 weeks and it won't make a whit of difference.

Testing random people is not pointless when there is no cure for an illness. In fact, random testing is the only way we could get an accurate sense of the incidence and prevalence of infection. We're not doing this because of a testing shortage, not because it's not worthwhile.

I agree that healthcare workers should be prioritized, but healthcare workers don't operate in a bubble. One of Emma's concerns is that her husband may be infected and was still required to go to work. He could infect others, including healthcare workers. So, it does make a whit of difference whether she and her husband are infected. They could inadvertently cause the virus to spread through their community. That's what happened outside of NYC when a man who didn't know he had the virus went to a synagogue.

I expect she is not trying to advocate that she 'deserves more prayers than others'. Emma has more of a platform than many of the other COVID-19 victims / potential victims (save for celebrities and high profile politicians). I applaud her for putting herself out there and doing what she can to inform the general population. She is sharing her personal struggle, despite those out there who would bash her for doing so because they don't have the capacity to understand how important it is to get the message out there.

If you're reading, Emma: While it didn't start out that way, thank you for giving us the best news of the week ("Feeling fine otherwise" in your Mar 20 update on Twitter. While the entire entry indicates you're not feeling fully back to how you would like, it was great to read those words. Always enjoy watching you run.

"She should have read the news before she came." "..the media didn't communicate beforehand how bad the situation was.." I'm sorry, what?? That is a complete contradiction. Also, if you follow her on instagram did you have the decency to warn her against traveling to Europe like you warned your brother?

If you think your words have more weight because you "ran in college" and were an" NCAA outdoors finalist" then if you see something, say something.

This song was written for this.

Just a bit of background: I am an American living in Spain and have been here for almost eight years. Yes, I ran in college and yes, I was an NCAA outdoors finalist.

She should have read the news before she came. It was widely apparent that the coronavirus was everywhere. I follow them on instagram and it seemed as if they were invincible to getting it. My brother was supposed to go to Italy last moth and I told him that he needed to cancel his trip. Unfortunately, the media didn’t communicate beforehand how bad the situation was in southern Europe.

As of today we have nearly 22,000 cases and almost 2000 that have been released from the hospital. The death toll keeps rising, but we are going to get over this.

Everyone please take precautions seriously! All the best!

That sounds very interesting

It's really sad that some people believe all the nonsense about there being an imaginary virus that's somehow killing people even though to this date it has still not been found, still has not been isolated from human genetic material, and still has not ever been proven to exist.

--

In addition to this, the test - which is not really a test, it's a procedure - does not test for a virus, and certainly does not test for a covid19 virus. The PCR test was developed in 1980, i.e. 40 years ago! long before the imaginary covid19 virus was invented by the vaccination corporations. Thus, again, the PCR test is not a test, and it is not a test for a covid19 virus.

--

The genome that's being procedurally amplified is a portion of human genetic material, which every human has. Thus with enough amplification and/or enough repeated testing, EVERY human being on earth will eventually test positive - for being HUMAN, not for having a virus.

--

The entire covid19 fiasco is a product of lies and conjecture based on lies, which continues to get farther and farther from the truth, which is that there isn't and never was a covid19 virus, not that meets the definition of a virus, and certainly not one that has been killing people.

Another ridiculous lie is that healthy people can make sick people sick. Good grief.

According to a Johns Hopkins study, 250,000 to 450,000 Americans die each year due to mistakes made by their doctors.

Where is the 24/7 scoreboard showing these numbers?

Statistically, it makes more sense to be wary of facing a doctor than of the Covid

Statistically, it makes sense to be wary of any statistics from people with a track record like yours.

Sounds like a fake study.

Anyone note the irony here? Hound dog harrier - the op- died from Covid .

I’ve read this on here before. I wasn’t reading the site at this point, but is this confirmed?

Yep. Well, to the extent that anything on LRC is:

I forgot he was the one to start this thread. We should have prayed for Hounddogharrier.
