Everyone over 65 has the ability to protect themselves if they’re still mobile and live alone, or as couple.
I recommend they do so.
Make your own choices.
Curious, if a person contracts the ‘rona and gets sick, then their kidneys or heart fails...was it ‘rona that killed them?
“Let’s all remember that this whole thing started with TV footage out of Wuhan showing people in hazmat suits rushing to te aid of people falling in the streets like they’d just been gassed.”
It’s a different virus now.
More contagious, far less lethal. Soon, just another cold.
‘I’m sure people like me will be getting locked up for simply suggesting that COVID is a huge steaming pile of propaganda and bullsh*t.’
there’s a few on this very forum that would be happy turning you into the authorities for ‘incorrect’ thinking...
‘and people are going to, well, not to point too fine point on it, reeducated...’
and based on the grammar of that phrase, probably wouldn’t hurt me to go back to school too...
“Many children are suffering from the inadequacy of online learning”
All the studies say the smart ones suffer no loss of education.
It’s the dumb, or unmotivated that suffer in remote learning.
They don’t learn anything when in school either.
But they all suffer the loss of youthful exploration and friendship.
Just found out my 19 month old grandson has Covid, as well as his mom’s ex husband and his wife, and the mom of my former brother-in-law. Our prayer list is growing. God is able and willing.
It’s a false choice. Everybody is getting it. Man is NOT God. I learned that when I was five from the deadly chickenpox.
Actually, I think the hazmat suits and the “stricken” people were just theater to get the panic going.
If by normal you mean Trump were able to remain president and actually drain the swamp of fraud and crime, I would dive into a pool of COVID.
Yes. I like my chances, even though I’m a former smoker and borderline diabetic.
And over 60!
“ in other words, we, as a society, have really fooked ourselves over...”

The cure is already SO much worse than the disease...
Now to turn loose the real weapons...
Starting with all the things you WON’T be allowed without your vaccinations...
Quantas CEO already says he won’t fly you...
Then we have contact tracing (Global?) and mandatory quarantines...
Biblically, we’re prophesied to go down that road only once.
It gets really bumpy from here if this nonsense isn’t stopped.
~Easy
Kind of unnerving knowing that all around you the environment is waiting to kill you.
The masks we wear are the same as firefighters with a supplied air hose with a SCBA tank emergency spare.
It gets even more unnerving when you have to put on a plastic suit and tape the sleeves to rubber gloves, pant cuffs to rubber boots and the jacket hood gets taped to your mask.
All because a vapor or drop is either corrosive to your skin, or that the vapor will leach into your bloodstream, through your skin...and kill you.
Loooong before we ever heard of coronavirus, I've been extensively trained in proper mask fit up and use.
Every time I go on a job requiring mask use, I go through a 2 hour refresher course.
before Covid, 99% of all doctors and nurses would have told you that surgical masks are strictly for preventing contaminating fluid (aka,sneezing or saliva) from contaminating a sterilized surface.
Before Covid, doctors and nurses knew that the surgical masks didn't protect them.
Now everyone is wearing surgical type masks, simple cloth masks, gators and bandanas.
Oh, and face shields 4" from your face.
I'm sorry, part of my training and job prep is mask fit up. I can't have more than 24 hours growth of facial hair, in order to insure a good face to mask seal.
But now, with the "DEADLIEST" virus in human history, anything over your face is
OKAY
I wear dust masks and or N/R or P95 masks.
I have also taken one of these mask off at the end of the day and had dirt on my face, wear the dust mask was protecting me.
The powers that be try to convince you that virus droplets attach themselves to human exhalation vapors and aerosols and attach themselves to the mask.
The problem is that the virus particle can then transfer it way fiber by fiber through the mask through normal breathing.
I read of a study recently, where 78% of questioned people infected with Covid, were people who wore mask extended periods of time or nearly always.
As length of time decreased, so did the infection percentage.
Your post touches on my beliefs about this but brings much amplification.
And the heart is this, at least for me: “...strictly for preventing contaminating fluid (aka,sneezing or saliva) from contaminating a sterilized surface.”
Our bodies were designed with a protective covering, epidermis, also known as “skin”. In surgery, our internal parts are being exposed without their protective skin covering. When we are shopping at Safeway, our skin is doing its job.
I see facemasks in public as a purely political thing and not only not helping, but hurting.
Sorry but my friends perfectly healthy 3 year old is in ICU right now battling a cytokene storm from Covid.
Kids get covid. That’s an outlier but it’s nonsensical to say they don’t get it.
How sad. I ought to have been more specific. Children almost never get the Wuhan flu. It is unlike the routine flu in that manner.
However, testing is highly prone to false negatives, and the child might not have the Wuhan flu but something else. Hospitals have a major financial incentive to diagnose a patient as Wuhan flu. Birx has admitted that the conditions for diagnosis are ‘very generous’.
My point was that society ought not be shut down for outliers. That would include asymptomatic transmission.
Oh I agree. I was just pointing out that one thing. When we speak in absolutes it hurts all of our credibilty.
That’s all.
