Dr. Fauci said,?I mean people always say, 'Well, the flu does this, the flu does that,'??The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That?s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this,? he added.Certainly sounds ominous.===There's certainly good reason for concern, especially since themortality rate for senior citizens is over 10%. I suspect that a fairnumber of us fall into that category. My maternal grandmother used totell stories about the so called Spanish flu which hit in 1918. Peoplewere dying so fast that they couldn't keep up with the burials.My advice is to get out on a golf course.--Freedom Isn't Free! And let the Canada geese bombard you with Corona virus? No way. If your immune sysyem is compramised it's best to stay in the cellar, like Fat Harry does, and take your chances with radon gas. I will admit to walking in a lot of goose **** on the course. -- Freedom Isn't Free! Wouldn?t that be bombarded with Bird Flu? We have a gaggle of 30 or so that winter on the golf course. There's a small lake on the course, so the fairways around the lake get pretty well fertilized with goose ****. They don't do much flying, other than coming in and leaving again. They've pretty much departed the area, so the fear of flying bird flu **** is gone...for now. Where I play it is Sandhill Cranes. http://gfretwell.com/wildlife/Sandhill%20Crane.jpg I've read that as winters have warmed up, the cranes are wintering more northwards. You may be seeing fewer of them. https://www.aldoleopold.org/post/wha...-10000-cranes/ I am not sure the ones who find a nice home, like a golf course, really migrate. I know the Canada Geese that lived at National Geo in Gaithersburg stayed in that lake year round. I thought they had an extra goose hunting season in parts of the northeast for the non migration birds. Don't know what happened to this, but I hope it got adopted. We need to get rid of a lot of those pests. https://www.federalregister.gov/docu...se-populations -- Freedom Isn't Free! Times get tough, a pellet gun will feed the family a lot of goose. I think a .22 would be a better choice. -- Freedom Isn't Free! Depends on local laws. Pellet guns are not firearms. It's really too bad the geese cannot shoot back, though a goose flying overhead and dumping a load of goosepoop on a shooter's head would help. |
