Visiting audio stores?

Yes, there are pneumonia vaccines, but they only protect one from Streptococcus pneumonia. And one specifically for H flu.  There are many types of pneumonia: bacterial, mycoplasma, fungal and other less common types. A short list of some bacterial: Streptococcal, staphylococcal, peptostreptococcal, Bacillus anthracis, Nocardia, Actinomyces, Neisseria meningitidis, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis, Chlamydia pneumoniae....... And the list goes on. Then there are the different types of fungal or viral, etc. Treatment for these are not 100% in an otherwise healthy person. Take someone sick from COVID-19 with its pathology and add another infection (a pneumonia of another kind) and treatment is less effective. Vaccines and antibiotics help your body fight the infection. If your body is already weakened....

YES! Everyone under the age of 2 and over the age of 65 should be vaccinated, but is not a one and done thing.

At least you realize that you cannot defend the indefensible.

Far be it from me to defend the indefensible. Why would I? I wouldn’t. But moving right along....

"...most COVAD-19 deaths are related to pneumonia infections"

"Most" means "some are not". Not much you can do about it, but hearts seem to be affected quite a bit, too.

I have not been a poster here long on gon but one of my favorite threads and not to long ago was the ’MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?’ thread. Grannyring (Bill) was fortunate enough to set up a ’shoot out’ of the MHDT Orchid and the Lampizator Amber 3, with the added bonus to audition the Golden Atlantic TRP also, with Collin of Gestalt Audio.

No online internet bullying or snipping by middle aged men hiding behind a moniker on that thread.

Just plane ol down to earth and groovy sharing of ideas and experiences with like minded individuals regardless of your audiophile pedigree. That thread was chock full of positive posts.

And to think I did not stop by HiFi Buys and check out the new Vandersteens when they came in some months ago as I told them I would.

HiFi Buys in Buckhead, GA which is just outside Atlanta, GA - is open and seeing walk in customers - if anybody wants to know.

I also learned something from that thread too. What I learned is I prefered the MHDT Orchid because I liked the price point/performance ratio and I already have (2) NOS Platinum Grade Cryoed TELEFUNKEN E88CC / 6922’s that are an exact compliment needed for the MHDT Orchid.

If anybody from HiFi Buys or someone that has something positive to say about that store/shop or any other, please chime in.
