covid at fork

I just got told there are apparently a lot of new cases at the lake, so be cautious if you're out and about there.

Look up cases by county.

Sounds like some locals want people staying away for a little while...

Lake Fork covers 3 counites. Wood, Rains and a small amount of Hopkins.

i'd be more worried about STD's there.

Last I heard, which was last night, Wood County only had 113 cases right now.

Here ya go folks, enjoy! I have no reason to make it up or to keep anyone away...

Rains Co only had 172 cases for the duration

So people out on the water are getting the covid 19?


From the fish, the water, the air?

I would think that being in the outdoors would be one of the safest things anyone can do during these times. Just my two cents.

Absolutely it is. But these are people that live in the county. Working at Dollar General, gas stations. Going to church. Lot's of ways to get covid even in the country. If all you do is grab some gas and fish, you're safe.

No one is "safe"...but there is no sense in living in fear either. It's a virus that has a 99+% survival rating.

Just pay attention to the pastures if the cows are social distancing then it’s probably spreading animals can sense things like this, back in the spring/summer they weren’t hanging around each other and were all over the pastures.

Just sayin’ so don’t laugh!

I guess its a round about way of saying "stay off my lake"

What I mean is it's save to fish. I mean you're by yourself. But I don't take stupid chances either. What you're not factoring in is death rate by age. Certainly higher at my age (60) than 1%. If you're 75 that number goes to around 10% according to cdc. This is nothing to take lightly. I was a microbiology major so well acquainted with study of pathogens and this is one to avoid. Don't live in fear but be smart about it. Best you can do. Fishing is about as safe a way to get outside as there is IMHO.

What are the numbers for people who entered these three counties, fished Lake Fork and then got in their trucks and drove back to their home counties? Just sayn........

This is a joke right? I've heard it all now. Cows socially distancing..LOL!!

Damned ole East Fork bar or whatever they call it now lol

I have a higher chance of getting my eyes gouged out pumping gas by some meth head at the shamrock on 154 than I do of dying from the rona... Ill take my chances fishing fork.

this place sure has gotten, um, strange?

well, stay out of the neon moon and you won't have to worry so much.


just sayin

Well people seem to be doing social distancing with their vehicles also. Many of them are driving 10+ mph below the speed limit and they stay about 10 car lengths behind the person in front of them and drive side by side of another idiot so you can't go around them. Even at 10 car lengths behind, they will hit the brakes when they see the care in front of them hit the brakes. Total IDIOTS
I also see people driving by themselves with a mask on. Again more idiots. Do they think they are keeping from getting the virus from themselves by wearing a mask in the car?

Wearing the mask by themselves in the car boggles the mind. It's not that complicated. We have these 2 extremes instead of people just using common sense. Wear a mask when you have a reasonable chance of being exposed or exposing others. Being in your car or on your boat is not one of those times.

They wear the mask in the car to keep from licking the windows...……….

That's why I haven't been catching anything... it's the fish !

Seriously, my son works in Odessa and he contacted Covid last month. He had a very rough time, and still has a nagging cough, He has to take insulin for a while. It's nothing to take lightly.
Good luck

I wear mine all the time at work that I sometimes forget to take it off when I get into my car. Only a few minutes later to realize I still have it on...

+1
Texas is the #1 state for Covaid-19. Wear a mask when around others and help beat this, then we can open up our life & business better.
Common sense we could have been using for awhile.

Are you saying that the fish have COVID too?

a neighbor stopped by and he told me how bad it was in Emory. He said that a worker in his house told him that 50 members of his church tested positive. Didn't know which church.

If you had tried to get in Y'all Come Back Cafe last Saturday you wouldn't get in the door. It was jammed. And no one there wears a mask.

Well, we are to healthy, proud, smart, or all the other excuses to catch covid. That is until you do.

If you're a sickly person, a boomer or a "nearly" boomer please take every precaution to keep from getting the covid
