These people—well, too many of ’em—seem to really go out of their way to be a**holes… Or maybe it’s mandatory?
(In fact, it seems crystal clear that it’s a official policy…from the head down.)

With markets hitting all time highs Dems just can’t stand it.

Dems introduce bill that could kill millions of jobs.

Joe Biden endorses the bill.

Keep the country locked down.

Something has got to give or these idiots are going to kill the economy.

Well, well, well, King Jay was part of the “Bring Out Your Dead” crew of Granny-killing- Governors after all?

Disease progression correlated with comorbidities correlated with age. Fat is beautiful is a comorbidity before, during, and after the disease is forgotten. Asymptomatic transmission is likely to occur through fecal transmission, where they have discovered viable viruses in patient rooms around the toilet and ventilation shafts. Otherwise, be aware of symptomatic transmission through coughs and sneezes, especially in spaces with a greenhouse effect. Wash your hands to mitigate cross-contamination. Be wary of wearing a petri dish and viral trap (“mask”). Oh, and don’t forget the goggles. The eyes are a window to viral and social contagion. Also, there are effective, inexpensive, low-risk early, and even late stage progression, treatments. The immune system and body don’t function in a vaccuum, watch you diet (e.g. Vitamin D) and habits (e.g. sunlight exposure). Otherwise, be merry and gay, life is an exercise in risk management.

Fauci on asymptomatic spread:
“The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person, … Even if there’s a rare asymptomatic person that might transmit, an epidemic is not driven by asymptomatic carriers.”

Also Fauci, “It is now clear that about 40%-45% of [COVID-19] infections are asymptomatic”

Hope that clears it up.

Cancer claims around 600,000 each year, same for heart disease. This happens year after year – no vaccine in sight. Covid deaths of 500,000+ are only for the first year and much less in the second. Life expectancy is around 79 years, less than for Covid deaths. All of us are much likelier to die from cancer or heart disease than Covid. The media is all about exaggeration.

As for Donald Trump, I think he and all of us would have been better off if Mike Pence did the briefings. I am pretty certain that Pence would have been far more disciplined and not have not fallen into the trap of being baited by the inept and vicious reporters.

“I did not foresee the extremes to which Democrats would go to keep us locked up for such a long time, and how meekly so many people would acquiesce to it, driven by fear.”

That’s because for most people the fear *wasn’t for themselves*, at least not physically. Anyone with a brain could see it was only the unhealthy and elderly at significant risk. But most people have a beloved elder relative they don’t want to lose, and (this is the psychological but selfish part) didn’t want to be seen putting at risk for selfish reasons like merely making money.

Totalitarian movements ride on the desire (in itself a perfectly reasonable one) to not be thought a monster by one’s fellows as much as any more obviously malevolent motive.

I agree. The Left saw a golden opportunity to “fundamentally change America” with COVID-19. Also little doubt in my mind that Trump would have won re-election if not for the false propaganda and the draconian lockdowns. Look how even with the Gentleman from Madame Tussaud’s who inhabits the White House and control of both Houses, the Democrats still want to continue with lockdowns and a only a limited back to normalcy.

I concur with the comments that physicsguy has made on this particular thread. And anecdotally I share my own amazement that the CDC is still the entity in charge of the protocols. They were formed in 1947 to create a pandemic response. Trillions of dollars later they didn’t have one and still do not. My husband suffered a near-death experience because of this fact. Remember the first lock-down that was to flatten the curve and anyone presenting sick could be treated at the hospital? Because of pure fear, he was turned away on 4/2/2020 and there is every reason to believe that given fluids and oxygen (his untreated sleep apnea created hypoxia making it impossible for him to fight the virus without help) he would have recovered as he eventually did under very extreme circumstances. The best thing I’ve seen throughout this entire time was the interview of the 2 doctors (one from England, the other from Italy) that Neo posted early on. They have studied pandemics for 12 years. The #1 required response to a pandemic according to them is ARCHITECTURE. The response to our early positive SARS Co-V2 test should have resulted in people with a hazmat suit arriving at our home, putting tape around it and bringing us to a facility to be treated where no one leaves apart from being clean of the contagion. I recommend Alex Berenson’s publications that layout the CDC materials about possible pandemics prior to this. Lockdowns and masks were never on the roster as evidenced by the non-response to ebola earlier. As for antibodies, that article I posted the other day in the open thread proves the doublethink that is infecting science with regards to immunity. It seems that if you dispense with everything you ever understood about biology and health science and just follow the scientists with the microphone you will be OK. Dennis Prager has stated that everything the Left touches they destroy. The corruption of science with the climate-change scare was a good start, but this is more than could be imagined, at least for me. Because the N95 mask made me very sick with Covid though I was essentially over it in 3 days, I have an extremenly negative point of view of masks, personally. As a family (12 people) each of us wears the “theatre” variety and only when absolutely required. We have traveled and met for every family occasion without masks or distancing since May 2020 and none of us has suffered so much as a cold. I attribute this to the fact that we already incorporated proper hygiene in our normal lives and know how to respond to a possible infection. Only my husband and I have had it and no one intends to get the vaccine presently. Maybe some eventually will, if forced, in order to work. Our one child is planning to move his family out of California for this very reason as he has been unable to work in the manner he formerly has because of the Newsom shutdowns. This Governor early on, bought One Billion Dollars worth of masks from China and then mandated them. Nice work if you can get it. Last year my daughter made me a couple cotton masks but the other day I clicked on a mask ad out of curiosity. Stated right on the page are disclaimers about their medical benefit. Doublethink everywhere I go, apart from what I already knew prior to March 2020.
