The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Scoreline: Australia zero deaths from COVID. Same period USA: 20,000 deaths from COVID. Still, never let facts get in the way of a conspiracy theory.Yesterday they interviewed a prominent person from Florida who owned a business. It showed the business with all employees not wearing masks.
He was questioned as to why he and they were not wearing masks. The guy said he won't and never will because covid is not real. It is not true. He said he never wears one and is a busy person around a lot of people and he is as healthy as a horse.
What's that about? There are many that believe this. They must believe in a conspiracy but what and if there is why and who is doing it?
I just don't get it
Do you?
Today a talk show said that unfortunately people that believe this way will have to be hit personally with it.
I don't wear a mask when I go outside as the nearest neighbor is 20 feet away but I do get alarmed when they come to my house without a mask.Are we loving our neighbor if we aren’t wearing a mask?
I believe that is ok, but if we’re out in public and people are frightened, that is not ok.I don't wear a mask when I go outside as the nearest neighbor is 20 feet away but I do get alarmed when they come to my house without t mask.
I agree with that but not what you just said about yours being zero and ours being 20000.Scoreline: Australia zero deaths from COVID. Same period USA: 20,000 deaths from COVID. Still, never let facts get in the way of a conspiracy theory.
I think he means in a certain frame of time, not overall.I agree with that but not what you just said about yours being zero and ours being 20000.
keep it factual please unless your figures are before jan of 2020
My friend who works at the hospital says there are a lot of people lately who test positive for COVID and still deny its existence. It’s a big problem because they can become agitated and refuse to follow the rules, won’t wear a mask, etc.Yesterday they interviewed a prominent person from Florida who owned a business. It showed the business with all employees not wearing masks.

Except many survivors suffer after effects for months after recovering. People choose to be Indy drivers and have amazingly good protection should an accident happen. Not so with those who choose to ignore the statistics. If all we looked at was statistics, we'd be driving 1950's style cars still. Death by car crash is statistically negligible. Unless its your family member killed by the drunk or drugged up driver.
That's what "same period" means. To be exact,I think he means in a certain frame of time, not overall.
Agree, but we don't always think. Some people came to my door selling something and it wasn't til they left that I realized they weren't wearing masks and then I got mad. But I wasn't thinking or I would have caught it. We just can't be on guard 24/7Though I did go into 7-Eleven today even though I was exposed to Covid by a member of my household, so that was not very loving of me.
I agree with that but not what you just said about yours
'Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said only nine people remained in hospital with COVID-19 and none in intensive care.
"We haven't seen a death in Australia from COVID for some months," he said, adding that Australia was in a very different situation to many countries across the world, including the United States which had more than 20,000 deaths in the week to 3 February."'

Oh I was thinking, but there wasn’t an atm open and I was looking to get some cash back, as I rarely have cash on me. My sister tested positive on Sunday, and I haven’t exhibited any symptoms yet, and I was wearing a mask so I figured it would be okay. Still shouldn’t have done it though.Agree, but we don't always think.

I'm being purposely skeptical here. There are excess people in ICU and in the ER, but how many really need to be in ICU and in the ER? I've been under the impression that people are being put in ICU as more of a precaution than a necessity. Not all of course, but a certain percentage.
As for the graph, I have to wonder how many were already close to dying from disease and old age etc. The one person I knew in real life who died of covid, had already been intubated a couple of times prior to covid. He was already practically in hospice care.
In refrigerated box trucksWhere are there dead bodies in parking lots?
I am sorry!People don't take it seriously unless it happens to them or people they know
. It's easy for them to deny it when no one they know got it or the people they know who did get it didn't have to much difficulty getting over it .
My sister and nephews joked about it till they got it. Now they take it serious because they are still getting over it .
My neighbor was one of those , it's not that serious. His wife passed two weeks ago and he passed yesterday. Him and his wife weren't on death's door. It effects everyone differently and you don't know how your body going to react to it.
Our authorities took the medical advice onboard and acted upon it. Many other countries did not take the medical advice and they paid the ultimate price. They were told exactly what our government was told.That's what "same period" means. To be exact,

The facts reveal all.
about 0.33%
I'm not good at math. What percentage is 26 million out of 7.8 billion?
about 0.33%
That is assuming a billion means 1000 million (British).
The US uses a different definition of a billion, i.e., 100 million.
