Sorry-that was not in the least my intent at all. Honestly. We have been on plenty of threads on various subjects and I have never had any issues with you or your posts.

I had zero issue with your thread or your post. I found it interesting and informative, my issue was completely unrelated and was directed at another poster.

You are the second person who thought my ping to you was directed at you, and it completely was not...so I have to assume the way I wrote it was defective in the way I conveyed the focus.

You have my unreserved apologies for my poor composition of that post.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Thanks for clarifying.

I appreciate all your thoughtful and well written posts.

[haffast]

Thanks to you both.

[rlmorel]

You are welcome, and I apologize for any confusion.

[haffast]

No apology needed, I understood you, agree with your posts on this thread, and appreciate your style and civility, which are unmatched by me. Please continue. o7

Good chart.

Rush pointed out that something like 10% of the U.S population believes 30 MILLION people in the U.S. have died of COVID. I haven’t seen the original source on that, but given the pathetic of math education, it isn’t hard to believe.

I know........anything people don’t want to believe is DEEP STATE (Said with loud stadium echo). Or the ever favorite “It’s all just to get Trump.”

But for the real Covid denier......

It’s the NWO
WHO
Soros
Mark of the Beast
Bill Gates
Pelosi
Governors
Pence
Melina Trump
Satan
CNN
Every mask wearer
Baron Trump
Walmart

I guess it could go on forever.

To bad it can’t just be what it is........an altered SARS virus that was released in Chine either by accident or on purpose.

A virus that has been changed genetically which makes knowledge of it vague and difficult to treat.

Nawwwww......that doesn’t sound whacky enough.

Don’t tell me what to do, Karen.

This is NOT the Spanish Flu or Ebola. Not.Even.Close.

My immune system works very well, so don’t tell me what to do, Karen. Understand?

I cannot breathe very well in your death mask because of a congenital heart defect. I have a much better chance of passing out from lack of Oxygen than catching the KungFlu.

Hide under your bed and never come out, if you are so terrified. Grow up.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Thank you.

I just cannot comprehend the irrational panic over this virus.

There are a lot of folks on this discussion board that mislead folks on vaccines and masks. Even Trump recommends wearing the mask in certain scenarios and following other important public health measures like washing hands. I agree with your comments and I appreciate your posts.

[Sam Gamgee]

I know. My wife tells me not to talk about it with her as I will never change her mind. She wonders why I won’t listen to the healthcare professionals who said we needed a shut down.

[David Chase]

A bitch and a disgrace?

How so?
When called names, I defend myself?

This on-going discussion began by me giving giving my thoughts and advice on the FluBro thread........I was attacked for it in the truest Leftist way.......name calling, insults etc.

Suddenly a discussion turned to verbal combat.

I’m only human and freely admit I let myself be drawn in rather than practice better self-control.

Some here, that believe as I do, have given up.
They’ve given up discussion on the matter, or even given up on FreeRepublic all together.

I don’t understand one thing......which makes my continued comments on the matter at this point worthless.........I don’t understand what possible motive (within reason, not Deep State stuff) some here think I have for endorsing the quickest and IMO best way to rid ourselves of the virus.

I think taking an unpopular view point got out of control and as I fought back, others fought back soon it became sport and not a reasonable exchange of thoughts.

While I believe we agree on 99% of issues........this one issue or that 1% can be to disruptive to carry.

But calling me a Bitch, and a disgrace doesn’t really have teeth since you don’t really know me. I could be a loser addicted to Xanax, or I could be decorated hero. You don’t know.

Around this part of Arizona, none of the locals ever wears orange while hunting. You’ll see a few out-of-staters wearing orange.

I think I have seen the numbers and there are no fewer accidental deaths in states that require orange versus those that don’t. I think it is funny to watch some of these Outdoor Channel shows and in some states, they wear orange during bow season. I have even seen people wearing it in the Yukon where there ain’t a soul for one hundred miles.

Contrast that to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho where the Public Health District passed a mask requirement at the end of July.

Does this mask ordinance in CDA require the wearing of masks outside as well as inside? Thanks
