California is flattening the curve but we must remain vigilant to stay healthy
Calmatters ^ | 4/28/20 | By Robert K. Ross and Anthony Iton, Special to Calmatters

There is little doubt that the COVID-19 restrictions in place now have caused major disruptions in our daily life and have had negative economic impacts on California families, especially the working poor. But consider how much worse it would be if we in California hadn’t moved quickly to “flatten the curve.”

An out-of-control pandemic would rage through our state at numbers unimaginable and would have much more severe consequences on the health of Californians, as well as the economy.

Thankfully, California is once again leading the way by taking major measures such as shelter in place, physical distancing, orders to close schools, all done to protect our health and our economy. Contrast the progressive policies being undertaken in the Golden State with the slow responses to the virus in some other states in which their leaders don’t follow the guidance of the experts.

Thankfully, California is once again leading the way toward a Democrat controlled totalitarian government.

There,fixed it

I always thought Karen came from Planktons computer wife on SpongeBob.

It looks like they tried a lot of different white names before Karen took.

They are doing the same with names for males, Chad, Brad, Steve, here is a vote for the name Darren.
“Personally I call them “Darrens”, since Darren is a name that I associate with middle-aged white men, who often act all privileged, you name it. Darren is also an unattractive name for any man below age 30- It’s getting outdated for sure. And above all, Darren rhymes with Karen!”

He meant Californians must be prepared to bend over.

[Karen] is a racist term and seems part of the effort to decivilize the public space and make white women cower and retreat even more from influence on the social decay.

I don't see it that way. In fact, I see it as kind of the opposite. The hard truth is that progressive white women are a huge driving force in the communization and moral decay of the USA. I see the term "Karen" as denoting exactly the type of woman that enforces communist orthodoxy, such as wearing masks in grocery stores, or taking down posters or signs because they are "offensive" to some group, or berating some stranger for expressing a non-politically correct opinion.

We did NOTHING to flatten the curve for MANY previous pandemics YET we survived our immune systems did what God intended them to do, NO ONE will ever convince me that this was NOT DONE deliberately to rid the world of Trump!! This was done by Fauci, and to the Deep State the end justified the means!! The FEAR PORN was out of control, Covid was NO DIFFERENT than the Hong Kong Flu YET schools open, businesses open, no masks, no shut downs, no 6ft. apart YES the vulnerable perished as they would under pandemic circumstances!! I believe people with Covid died needlessly being unnecessarily vented, put into nursing homes infecting others, going to hospitals unnecessarily, helpful medications DENIED to people WEF, governments are EVIL utterly EVIL and drunk with power!!

You have summed it up quite nicely.

Newsom needs to be bent over the hood of a police car.

In the venues he frequents, that costs extra.

Your take is the image the left has been selling with a few videos of the nutty stuff, and selling at the same time that the public space is becoming uninhabitable for normal people and whites in particular.

1950 America did just fine with a culture of calling the manager over, or calling the police for problems in public, would there have been some negative stuff, sure, there always will be exceptions and gotchas.

As the videos of blacks destroying the public space with violence and insanity, from stores to airports, ship cruises, to restaurants, we suddenly get “Karens” and “Chads”, the complaining white people.

Something you can count on in the coming years is more creative variations of how annoying white people are in their complaints of the changes in America.

The term “Karen” refers to an unnecessarily complaining woman (usually white). I haven’t seen it refer to a decent woman who is rebuking genuinely bad behavvior, although some people may abuse it that way. There was even a haircut referred to as “the Karen” which was one of those short, new-wave, feminist, pseudo-lesbian looking haircuts that no reasonable woman would have.

“Chad” is actually a term of respect. He’s the guy that doesn’t give a damn about your silly feelings and doesn’t tolerate your BS.

“Becky” on the other hand, IS a racist term against white women, usually by blacks against young attractive white women.

Chad, Brad, Steve, whatever they are labeling white males they are trying to make “Karens”.

Suddenly the media rediscovered very white sounding names and are using them to shut-up primarily white women and also white males in public, making them self-conscious and timid, similar to the goals of creating the concepts of “Mansplaining” and “Manspreading”.

It is about making whites fade into the background in public and want to avoid being mocked, there are a lot of new approaches being created to make whites appear as foolish, bumbling, mean, petty, inconsequential and rather bizarre and annoying when compared to the new America of non-whites and the new population replacing them.

As this suggestion for the name Darren demonstrates. “Personally I call them “Darrens”, since Darren is a name that I associate with middle-aged white men, who often act all privileged, you name it. Darren is also an unattractive name for any man below age 30- It’s getting outdated for sure. And above all, Darren rhymes with Karen!”

‘Gee we might have faired as well as Sweden who didn’t do anything to flatten the curve.’

there was an individual on this very website that coudn’t wait to breathlessy inform us of all the ‘bad news’ coming out of Sweden; bad news that was generated by phony data...

‘The police enforced those orders very willingly and enthusiastically.’

why not? how could police work ever be easier, enforcing laws against already law biding citizens...?

even worse than cops during this period were lifeguards at beaches (always a bugaboo of mine); they’re always told they’re necessary in the surf and have come to believe it, stupid as it is...and they take full advantage of their phony purpose.

I haven't fallen for anything.

“The woman who complained about the young water-seller was dubbed “Permit Patty”. Another woman who called the police when a black family was having a barbecue was named “BBQ Becky”. And a white woman who called 911 on a black dad at a football match, while sitting in a golf cart, was called “Golfcart Gail”.

Those four examples perfectly describe the neurotic white liberal cat lady that everyone here has experienced first hand.

You’re projecting. It’s patently obvious that you’re the one confusing the two.

Well, there’s the problem. You’re talking about memes and I’m talking about real life experiences.

You are still confused about all this, and the national media/left effort, and women in general.
