Covid19/2021-22 OMICRON/ VIRUS "IHU" FRANCE:P13310/NEWEST VIRUS: "NEOCOV" HIGH INFECTION RATE+1 IN 3 DIE !?! P13315

I was wanting to bump this story anyways.

There is no point in telling fake horror stories and relaying them. Africa by the way, has been for the most part, sparred from the virus.

The word is hope.

However, do not let your guard down. And always be ready to pivot.

I can’t see anything that doesn’t involve massive crying, in January.

Negativity will lead nowhere, we must remain cautiously optimistic as there are plenty new developments suggesting an overall improvement of the situation.

Unfortunately I tend to agree. Not being pessimistic. Just realistic. There is a huge difference.

You are feeding pessimism on each, that's certainly not a healthy mental situation. You all need to do something else and stop posting, I'm saying this for your own good.

It was growing about 6 feet to the south of the walnut, preventing it from getting full sun during the day. They were both the same age, so not quite to the point that branches would start crossing into each other. We just wanted to handle it while it was still small enough for us to handle by ourselves. We've got another mulberry tree in a different corner of the property.

I have no confidence in either the state of medical care in Africa as a whole, their reporting methods, or their desire to even worry about keeping the rest of the world informed about what's going on.

The absence of information from Africa means nothing.

I think sharing what YOU think and what YOU do is fine.

Telling others how they should live their lives is a bit patronizing and condescending.

I, for one, would ask you not to do that.

I'm cautiously optimistic you'll behave accordingly.

OK

“Living in fear”

During a life changing pandemic this is by far one of the most ignorant statements that folks keep throwing out there.

Let’s define fear.....

[link to www.psychologytoday.com (secure)]

Less than 50%
“Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger that has been pivotal throughout evolution. If people didn’t feel fear, they wouldn’t be able to protect themselves from legitimate threats—which often had life-or-death consequences in the ancestral world.

In the modern world, the stakes are lower. Although public speaking, elevators, and spiders generally don’t present immediately dire consequences, some individuals still develop extreme fight-flight-or-freeze responses to specific objects or scenarios.”

Right there it says the stakes are lowere. And traditionally, this statement is true....... but not right now.

So a little feeling of fear here and there is healthy.

But what is happening on this thread has nothing to do with fear...... and everything to do with Prudence.....

Less than 50%
“This character strength is not only one of the least endorsed strengths around the world but one of the least understood strengths. Prudence refers to being “wisely cautious.” Prudence gets a bad rap because individuals tend to think of the overuse of prudence (i.e., stuffiness and rigidity that negatively impacts others) as prudence. However, when prudence is expressed in a balanced way, it is far from stuffiness; instead, it is being conscientious, planful, goal-oriented, and respectful to others. Prudent people usually take the time to think things through, such as examining and reflecting on situations before acting, and approaching life with carefulness.”

Understanding Your Strengths

I will not live in fear. And we will continue to discuss this virus because it ain’t going away.....unfortunately.

Quoting oneself in such a short period of time can create a perception of immaturity.

Just an "fyi".

I had forgotten the word "other" in the original post, thus I corrected it in the second highlighted post

You are using old paradigms. We are miserable. We have lovely discussions. And this is a bright group.

The Uses and Abuses of Optimism and Pessimism
“In a striking turnaround, science now sees optimism and pessimism not as good or bad outlooks you're born with but as mind-sets to adopt as situations demand. Sure, you could look at life purely rationally, but without optimism or pessimism, you might not accomplish very much.”

Indian welder is busiest welder...

You aren’t going to control a healthy discussion.

Good luck, chuck.

Here comes the conspiratorial mischief in chief!

All,
We have a squeaky wheel in our midst. Don't directly engage with him. That is what he wants. Don't respond to his posts and he will get bored and leave.

Don’t worry..... your attitude will force you to retreat soon enough.

Do you understand the Kitchen Sink concept? It’s where you throw everything at a problem because it is that big and bad and ugly?

This virus requires that level of damned. You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to be here. But you sure as fuck ain’t going to change the discussions flow.

Just respond directly with Virus discussion :)

It will unhinge and keep the discussion flowing.

I miss Cap Loc Lee.

I sound like a broken record...... and the data coming is what I harped on March to now.......

Avoiding China Asshole Virus is equally important to taking care of your mental health.

The data ain’t looking good. Folks can’t process continuous changes.

Good point above.
