Re: List your pet peeves in semantics and language that downplay

Next pet peeve Loooong covid! Yikes.. it stands to reason that
if people are downplaying and under reporting covid then they
are definitely under reporting and downplaying long covid as
well. Id say long covid gets reported even less and is less
acknowledged by doctors as well...
... Its such a guessing game..they don't even know if they are
going to fly through covid initially like it was nothing only to
suffer from long term repercussions from long covid later on
down the road..I mean what do they know!? they are in a fantasy
land and in denial we tend to repeat history like when both
republican and democratic parties hold superspreader events for
the sake of their elections in the very midst of pandemic or
when the president sat unmasked eating pizza with soldiers in
2022, also in midst of pandemic:
HTML https://youtu.be/vgYx6NeopCs
..I mean no wonder he catches covid so any times!
They don't do anything different or extra to prevent themselves
from catching covid more than once! And again they are always
focused on surviving the symptoms of covid in the first stages
and they never seem to acknowledge long covid's long term
repercussions.. they have no fear of the long haul or chronic
problems of long covid which can eat away and whittle a person
down into nothing. Who wants to live with that fear all for a
lack of mask?
To me, its like this: I lived for a few years in West Virginia
as a teenager and there wasn't a whole lot going on in the town.
School teachers said if you can graduate or get a GED you stand
a chance of being able to move away to where jobs are.. and
every single politician there mind you every single that ever
was elected said "We are going to bring back the coal miner's
work"! That's all they ever said .."we are going to bring back
all the coal mine jobs"! Meanwhile I'd walk down the street and
every house had in indoor/outdoor porch and all you saw were
disabled old men with black lung.. some in wheelchairs waving..
some in beds on their porch... many hooked to big tanks
,,,oxygen tanks and still every fat sleazy politician promising
to bring back the coal mines..it was ridiculous... they had
machines that did the coal mines that replaced all the coal
miners and all the coal miners got black lung anyway ..it was
sick .. the politicians didn't do anything different and that's
just like the politicians today in my eyes.. they keep catching
covid and they turn a blind eye and they are ending up like the
coal miners with black lung if they keep catching it and not
change health care if things continue the way they are going
they are liable to catch bird flu.. because nobody is making
people protect themselves from bird flu any more than they
protected coalminers from breathing in that stuff year after
year... if they keep doing what they are doing those are the
odds and its five years of this and maybe 20 vaccines later and
still catching covid and being infected despite their shots ...
they don't even tell ya anymore when they get sick if they took
a vaccine or not,, its looking bad after 5 years straight.. its
just safer for me to count on simply wearing a filter on face
when I go outdoors.. I'm not going to make rules for theses
viruses there are too many viruses going around like five times
as many all at the same time circulating just in the past five
years nothing like when I was a child and there was just the flu
and the cold and every now and then one or two mean illness that
were around for a month or two and that was usually it. Today's
politicians act like things are going to be okay like they were
in pre pandemic days.. to me its better to adapt and accept
change and get creative maybe think about more self sufficient
living .. different ways of living modify lifestyle .. combine
old ways with new ways but regardless thing shave to change
because its gone on too long and economy and homelessness and
everything is changing .. the hope is in modification and
changing a little here and there and mostly doing things
different because those calming jobs aren't coming back and the
world has got some airborne diseases and animals are getting
sick.. must use special set of gills to breathe through and try
to create safe homes and not be like herd animals that catch
diseases ..people must spread themselves out more to succeed
like plants that aren't planted to closely in a garden so they
won't strangle one another..use communications and ue the mighty
computer and work remotely and work smart to succeed any that's
what Ive been thinking.

I think already posted this but it just my absolute favorite pet
peeve..I mean what's the use of everybody masking but one guy
holding a little stranger girl face to face in the war torn
streets for a picture!? This is sheer lunacy to pull the mask
down at the absolutely worse moment like right when one gets
into the face of a stranger.. its crazy:
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zRY5fWvCrHWYZNt4yF6XRYIcSShWvqUG/view
.. like duh! I don't even have to ask myself why people keep
getting covid I just look at link above.
To me its just so simple don't hug children you don't know in
public, keep the mask on, wash hands and maybe a take shower
upon entering your own premise and hug your own children and
loved ones in the privacy of your own home without mask after
you are clean.
Take precautions like masking when out in public and don't act
like our politicians no matter what age ya are even though I am
not a doctor..lol. It's never right to treat highly contagious
diseases that cause long term repercussions for the individual
as well as those they infect as merely a flesh wound to brush
off.
Even though I'm not a doctor, I don't even think doctors are
telling us to do enough to prevent long covid. Ive never been
afraid of surviving covid's short term symptoms to be honest I
mask for the fear of having to live with the day in day out
grind of some long term health repercussion down the road from
that little covid infection. Short term pain is horrible but
long term pain is for lack of a better word Hell.
It interesting to revisit the not so long ago past like when
everybody started getting sick at the Gridiron Club (ya read
stuff like "people who are vaccinated are almost three times
less likely to be infected compared with those who are
unvaccinated" which is not true now nor was true when they wrote
it.
LINK to old News that doesn't hold true:
HTML https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/04/07/gridiron-club-covid-outbreak-super-spreader-shows-what-living-with-covid-looks-like/.
Why don't I think it true? because
a few days later twice as many people got sick at same event and
they had to change their numbers and story:
HTML https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/67-attendees-test-positive-covid-high-profile-dc-dinner-rcna23763
... all sorts of big shots got sick at that Vaccinated only
Gridiron club dinner First news story a lot different than the
second news story revealing that the first news story was bogus
medically speaking. They didn't get wear their masks and Fauci
observed and there was an outbreak that's all anybody can really
prove. That was a catastrophe. I was sitting at home watching it
and I knew it was going to happen. That's why I wear a mask
partly from them proving what didn't work. Also they never
follow up and trace or tell you how many others really got
sick... there's probably at least as many people or twice as
many no-named staff serving these penguins at the clubhouse.
Now I do commend politicians that come forward to tell us they
have covid. I am not sure they are legally required to be so
forthright as they are and that would be scarier by far
wondering how many public figures simply don't tell us when they
get sick and are ashamed to tell anybody. Imagine those that
keep getting covid and simply don't report it. It must be far
worse and less talked about in the general public ..that's scary
..its so sad people not even knowing they got it giving it to
their loved one.. I wear a mask and the maskless pass by all the
time. They scare me and I'm scared for them. I'm worried a lot
of people are going to die of covid /bird flu and slew of other
diseases eating away at them til they disappear..its hard. I try
not to connect to many people because they never mask. I got my
mask on and I'm staying sharp ..I'm going to be a survivor.
Maybe people think I'm overboard but Ive adapted and am living
the masked life and doing good. Its kind of lonely but I'm in
good shape and famous people and important people keep getting
cut down by covid little by little .. the masked people lose a
lot of friends...its a hard life but a good one in the mask for
me. Its easier for me than being part of the maskless life. Its
better to be safe than sorry and keep it that way. Masking is
well worth it for me, If I wanna connect with loved ones I can
write. Never let anything get you down.. I Don't let anything
get me down even the news
Ladies and germs, I'm a musician butI don't put on any airs out
in public with some yakety yaks running for office ...why bother
going out when I can stay in and rock out! my bedroom is the
best place to rock when I dress up..lol..I tell ya I know how to
live it up! I actually don't think "isolation" is bad..I'm the
artist musician type and I actually do better apart from the
herd and masses. I happen to believe the written and typed word
can be more effective than just a bunch of talk in public. I
truly believe all sorts people can do a lot from the safety of
their homes! I believe in society reforming itself so people can
stay and work from home more. Why work remotely from home while
sick when one might be able to work remotely from home while
healthy!?
Keep On Masking and Keep on rocking my friend!

Here's a huge pet peeve... actually its not a pet peeve its a
lack of reality and denial on part of other members of society
like B*ck Yard Chicken forums to acknowledge bird flu is a
legitimate problem ... I hate it when my topics or threads get
banned from forums (unlike this forum) that ban good topics
related to their welfare.
I get this message from a Back Yard Chicken forum(I'll conceal
their identity)
Here's the message I get from their
B*C chicken forum says:
"Hello Outraged neighbor,
After receiving reports from our community, our moderators have
decided that your message (Humans pass on more viruses to
domestic and wild animals than we catch from them, according to
a major new analysis of viral genomes by UCL researcher)
contains content that we feel is intended to troll or provoke a
strong reaction:
This is a study that is quite Relevant To Bird Flu"
Masked Man thinks...And here was my perfectly good thread that
got banned because they can't handle the truth or science or any
thoughts that might excite them to action
Masked Man says::
"Here is a study that should inspire animal workers to mask up
for the sake of the animals they say they care for ...
Humans pass on more viruses to domestic and wild animals than we
catch from them, according to a major new analysis of viral
genomes by UCL researcher
...This is significant because this means the unmasked farmer
who might have bird flu can possibly easily infect a pig with
bird flu therefore opening a window of opportunity for more
viruses and therefore more dangerous evolving mutations. Its
just something people don't talk or think about enough the fact
that people give viruses to animals a lot more than animals give
people viruses. In other words, an unmasked farmer or
veterinarian might be asymptomatic with something and infect the
animals they are working closely with. So people that work with
animals and livestock need to realize that they make all their
animals sick probably more often and more easily than they are
aware of.
Some scenarios: Some farmer or veterinarian might be
asymptomatic and not even know or feel he/she is sick or maybe
what he is sick with doesn't bother him/her at all but will take
out the whole flock or prove more serious for the animals he/she
is tending to. Another scenario could be a farmer with bird flu
infects their pigs and then the pigs mutate the virus down the
line back to humans in a form of virus far worse than what the
farmer was previously infected with.
SOURCE:
HTML https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240325114138.htm
"For the new paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, the
team analysed all publicly available viral genome sequences, to
reconstruct where viruses have jumped from one host to infect
another vertebrate species.
Most emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are caused by
viruses circulating in animals. When these viruses cross over
from animals into humans, a process known as zoonosis, they can
cause disease outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics such as Ebola,
flu or Covid-19. Given the enormous impact of zoonotic diseases
on public health, humans have generally been considered as a
sink for viruses rather than a source, with human-to-animal
transmission of viruses receiving far less attention".
Then the chicken forum bans this kind of careful thought
provoking thread proving chicken forum moderators can't handle
bird flu related stuff

c'mon chicken owners! Mask up, put goggles on and take diseases

bird flu season chicken farmers! Stop banning genuine concerns
and truth in regards to animal diseases and bird flu B*ckyard
Chicken farmer forum moderators!!! I post a perfectly good link
abut how humans pass on diseases to animals far more than they
previously expected and I get banned!
A chicken forum moderator says I'm trolling and face banishment
for sharing a link by UCL researcher and commenting lol... This
is why bird flu is bound to esculate my pandemic savvy friends.
P.S. Later on I put two links of Data Report's archive of
studies: one link to bird flu section and the other link to the
bird flu in humans section up at that chicken forum and they
were so unenthusiastic, so dismissive, and so disinterested with
the studies I reported my own thread to be taken off their
forum. I don't want to even be affiliated with them much less
share links with them... That was so demoralizing to try to
share knowledge with this particular chicken forum with their
lack of interest in bird flu studies.. to them mask is a four
letter word. They show virtually no interest in protecting their
eyes or lungs from bird flu.. I mean can you imagine a giant
chicken raising forum isn't the least bit interested in bird flu
related studies..and their moderator is like replying "that's
just a blog!" & "I just wait for a monthly USDA report to see if
my area is suffering" and wait for the CDC to tell me what to
do. I don't need to bother with other studies".....that kind of
disinterest just gives ya the creeps when they don't even thank
you for a couple Links to perhaps over a hundred studies on bird
flu all neatly categorized and indexed... its crazy..they are
doing the minimum they have to do..acting like sitting ducks
waiting to get bird flu until deciding to do anything... That's
just one chicken forum... I hope all chicken forums aren't so
'chicken' when it come to discussing bird flu in an intelligent
manner or we are surely doomed with bird flu! That experience of
a chicken forum rejecting bird flu studies does not help the
bird flu situation.

Re: List your pet peeves in semantics and language that downplay

Something that I tend not to like is when the media dismisses a
Covid-19 or HPAI death because the victim was either older
and/or "had co-morbidities" (such as other illnesses).
I just find that tactic very distasteful.
First and foremost, I'm not comfortable with the media always
emphasizing a person's age or medical status to dismiss these
very serious ailments. Are they technically correct by
identifying these factors? If a person was indeed older and/or
had other medical conditions, then I suppose that they are.
However, they have no idea if this person would have lived if
they were younger, didn't have these other medical conditions or
if the medical conditions were of a lesser severity.
It is a very slippery slope when the media starts dismissing the
deaths or misfortunes of people merely due to age or prior
medical status. What's next? Are they going to report on a rape
but "the woman was very attractive and scantily-clad"? Are they
going to report a car theft but the car was in "the wrong part
of town"?
As the saying goes, "There's a funny thing about ageism - It
never gets old."

Oh that reference to age thing totally gets me furious too!
Especially when they are young newscasters that think they are
immortal or something and think somehow they won't be affected
by these illnesses that in actuality hit all humans no matter
what age they are...
...Currently I am getting the impression by the data we are
getting hit by several diseases and illnesses at once north ,
south , east and west. This is not a figment of my imagination
as this never happened as a child when I was in school in late
70's and the 80's.. yeah the flu and colds hit (occasionally
chicken pox reared its ugly head ) during the winter and small
wave in other seasons but nothing like five or six illnesses and
diseases making sweeps like nowadays... todays illnesses have
long term repercussions and long term health consequences...
these aren't 'colds' these illnesses mess up all people all
ages... these illnesses are doing some long term damage man!
That's just reality and it has escalated since covid arrived on
the scene.
..likewise I can't stand news or reports that dismiss other
countries that are suffering a disease... to me that's like
racist not to think what happens in China won't happen to other
countries. Its a small world now and what happens in one country
no matter how big or small it is is of great concern worldwide
nowadays or it should be anyway.. never underestimate these tiny
microscopic entities that don't care how old or young ya are or
what country you are in at the time.. we are all just one big
soul pretty much pervious to the same diseases and illnesses
out there ..we all have a heart and lungs alike.
Of course I can't stand the scores of athletes and actors and
actresses and musicians whom are just calling whatever they got
an "illness" I mean c'mon! tell us what you got America! why has
the cat got their tongues..what's the big secret not telling us
what the "illness" actually is? in many ways other countries
like China are showing more effort to tell us what diseases
their people have than our American actors, athletes and
musicians are willing to tell... Its just slimey people aren't
or don't feel at liberty to share their diagnosis considering we
got four or five airborne diseases going around right now and no
doubt it would be useful to share what exactly the illnesses is
simply to deepen our understanding as to what we are up against
disease wise. What's the deal calling it an "illness"!? Is it
because of contracts or shame or insurance purposes? I really
think people need to be at liberty to discuss their ills if they
want to because more understanding is always best than less
understanding.
Its bad if people are hiding stuff as I think sharing thoughts
and ideas is part of what the good life is all about... it
comforts people to be able to share with one another their
challenges, stories and viewpoints.. That's what life is all
about to me. :)

Yeah, I do not like when the media blames a virus death on
underlying conditions. Why should anyone have to die at all? In
the early days of the pandemic, the 1 big thing we did was try
to protect those who are most at risk. Now not only do we not do
that, but many who are high at risk are uninformed how bad these
viruses can be and that Covid can still be bad. Then there is
the fact Covid can weaken the immune system.

Also I don't like how the media has implied or said that only
people who ore older or "at risk' need to take more precautions
such as masking. Common sense dictates if something is bad for

Airplane deaths are "worth more" than Covid-19 deaths
By: Steve Date: January 30, 2025, 2:27 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
First, I want to start by expressing my deepest sympathies for
all of those who lost family and/or friends in the aircraft
collision on January 29, 2025, in the Washington DC area. For
those who do not know, a small airliner and a military
helicopter collided, killing all involved. My understanding of
the death toll is 67 but I can't guarantee that the number
mentioned is accurate.
However, my grievance is that these deaths seem to weigh more in
the mass media than Covid-19 deaths.
A brief check of Florida's Covid-19 site currently lists 145
people who have died this year (and it is only January) of
Covid-19. That's over twice the number of people than this
aircraft collision and we are in year 5 of this pandemic. And
that is just one state out of 50 in this country and we are just
one country out of over 200 in the world.
I understand a lot of the counter-points: That people are
experiencing Covid-19 burnout, that people have "normalized"
Covid-19 deaths, that any airplane crash is tragic and is
newsworthy... I understand all of those.
Yet we are in year 5 of a pandemic that has not gone away,
largely due to the actions (or 'inactions' if you want to
describe them) of our elected leadership and a majority of the
public who has placed them in their leadership roles. We could
be on the verge of a new pandemic (HPAI). Certainly, HPAI has
already been a pandemic for birds and non-human mammals and if
you don't believe me, go check out the prices for a carton of
eggs.
It would be comforting if the same media that has wall-to-wall
coverage of a plane crash that kills 67 people might lend that
same amount of attention to a virus that is in its fifth year of
killing us and to another virus that is causing mass casualties
amongst our dairy cattle and chickens. Is that too much to ask?

I totally agree that there is a huge insensitivity to airborne
diseases and the toll it is taking, and its continuing to take
on its victims with major long term repercussions. The sheer
magnitude and numbers of people these airborne diseases are
hurting including our animal and food sources is astronomical
and people act like its not happening. I think the masses are in
complete denial... like hear no evil see no evil... I think a
lot of people just want things the way they used to be and quite
frankly are pretending things will be okay when they are NOT
okay! There weren't these diseases in my school when I was a
kid.. there was no covid ..whooping cough was something my
grandmother had as a child and was non existent in my school
years.. there were definitely no bird flu or millions of
chickens being culled every day in a new place.. monkey pox!, TB
and influenza hotspots.. we got almost half dozen airborne
diseases hitting all seasons of the year circulating..how are
hospitals going to keep up!? impossible ..this is truly crazy
situation but what is crazier are the people in denial this
stuff is happening. We at Data Report info aren't in denial
..we see the data, the reports and the reputable studies every
single day!
I have the same beef so to speak even with hurricane relief in
my area I can't help but think of the covid numbers and how they
continue to grow yet I don't hear about people in the
entertainment business or any other parties or factions or good
will-like charity organizations raising money for covid related
assistance.
In particular I would like to see more education and precautions
such as masks of course being pushed to prevent more covid and
airborne diseases such as bird flu so we don't get hospital
overload. Once hospitals are overwhelmed then hospital care gets
reduced like it was dark ages again.
When people in the public eye like superstars such as musicians
and sports players get sick they have and opportunity to share
in their recovery yet currantly they make no efforts to even
disclose the particulars of their illness.. this morally
reprehensible me. These people in the public eye miss the
opportunity to grow from these events and teach others.
I'd like to seek healthcare and dentistry without fearing
maskless people giving me a disease and I'd like to see more
masked people in general so I feel more comfortable in going out
in public to attend to business and to simply feel like I am
part of a society that cares for itself and the challenges it
currently faces insofar as illness goes. With some money wisely
sunk into education and airborne disease awareness into the
public I might actually feel more comfortable going out more as
a Masked citizen.

Philadelphians in 1736 that 'An ounce of prevention is worth a
