Its just the flu, bro.
Open up the country for work!
There are a few things I am watching today: 1. Countries have made their curves too flat and there is too much social distancing. This means that the probability of the virus starting up again is high. This has happened in SK and Wuhan. The government is putting too many roadblocks in front of healthy people (who are better off catching it now than later). Only the vulnerable should have a CDC recommendation to social distance. Remember the science of voluntary health-differentiated social distancing (HSD).
2. Civil liberties - its not too bad where I live in Texas but many states are getting tyrannical.
3. Calls for unity are calls for tyranny - Some celebrity made a call for unity and he even said to support Trump. I have no problem with a celebrity saying he supports Trump. My problem is the unity. Unity, in the context of the USA, should not mean universal support and agreement with government officials at any level. If people want unity they can look to the greatest example of national unity on the planet - North Korea.
Here’s the code for that graphic:

Instructions for use:
At the start and at the end, between the text and HTML code, I have inserted a SPACE. If you copy and paste this code in to an FR post, simply delete the SPACE between “<” and “img” as well as “500” and “>”.
Remember, always hit preview before posting so that you can “measure twice, cut once.”
Also, FR REQUIRES a TEXT entry and will not accept JUST an HTML entry. I usually precede any HTML entry (if I will not include any comment) with a period (.)
Unfortunately even FR has its share of crackpots. .
Monday my wife called her cousin to wish him a happy anniversary - and to get the straight dope on the "crisis." You see her cousin is a respiratory therapist at a hospital in a fairly large western city. (Las Vegas, Salt Lake, Denver sized) His take on it, from the "front lines?"
It's not a good year/season, but it's not terrible either.
He has a handful of people on vents, by his memory a couple more than last year, but they're not at capacity.
Yes, they've had a couple of patients die.
No, none of the staff have contracted it - they follow specific protective procedures - even during "normal" flu seasons.
He's working normal shifts, in fact he was grilling when she called - their anniversary dinner "out" on the patio.
He did say the "flattening of the curve" was appreciated but he did decline to offer an opinion on if all this was necessary. He just doesn't know, but he does know their unit in their hospital is basically running business as usual.
So sure, that's one guy in one hospital in one city. Like I said, I believe what I can verify. I have no doubt the situation is better in some places - I'm sure there are respiratory therapists in other places sitting around reading medical journals or doing their usual thing. I'm sure there are other places where yeah, they're in it up to their eyeballs. Just be careful what you believe folks - particularly out of 'rat controlled areas like NYC. There are going to be a lot of "staged" presentations coming out of these places to reinforce their message, their agenda.
North Carolina stats as of 4/08/20
Population 10.5 million
3221 cases .0306%
350 hospitalized .0033%
46 deaths .00044%
Especially since they started padding the numbers and listing CCP Virus as cause even if a person was already terminal.
The numbers LIE
OH, wait this is the new wussified America where the nanny state has to wipe ur arse so that you do not get any nasties on you
I stand with the “flubros” (and -bras). We need to get this country back to work! I personally know of 2 businesses that closed (perhaps PERMANENTLY) in my area, and also two large manufacturers who are considering laying off employees. If we keep on, we will DESTROY the economy! The cure will be MUCH WORSE that the disease.
I will not take Bill Gates’ vaccine, either. Do not trust that globalist or his organization.
I took a shot and asked what I thought was a reasonable question. Foolish me. Reason has gone right out the window with you folks.
Wow,impimp. Did you put gunpowder in the fearpers Post Toasties this morning? They’re plumb rabid,running in circles and chewing their own tails off.
Admins didnt like the way I tried to ban Fearpers from the thread so I needed to back off a bit with saying Flubros only. So now they come in aggressively everyday.
Where is that? It reminds me of my place in Galveston...except the waves look more like Atlantic Ocean waves than Gulf of Mexico waves, if such a distinction can be made.
Go over to this thread. They rolling around on the floor like a Pentecostal revival.

CONFIRMED: Theyre Inflating Wuhan Virus Death Rates Nationally
“Admins didnt like the way I tried to ban Fearpers from the thread”
So I guess all are welcome to chime in on the Catholic Caucus thread. That’s cool.
Thats ok, I enjoy reading the threads everyday. The madness from some of these folks is eye opening to say the least. I would just chuckle at those that have their hair on fire but it kinda turns my stomach to see some self described conservatives act like frightened or entitled children. Its good to know there are others out here that still have their wits. Its sure is pretty and green this year in centex. How does it look down yonder?
Dam’ abb,you psycho.I bet you liked to stick firecrackers in ant beds when you were a kid. LMAO!
