Don’t feed the troll.

Some people just like to pot stir for the sake of getting attention.

I’m being forced by the move.

Just gave a bunch of the kids stuff to a family in church with young grandchildren.

I think many of you are simply worried that others will think independently.

The emotion and the rudeness in your tone, like that in the posts of others here, far outpaces any real inconvenience caused to you by my posts. If you’re simply a normal, everyday poster.

You will never prevent me or others like me from thinking independently. To attempt it is a very low IQ idea.

The personal attacks in your post show you’ve given up on real conversation. Careful, this tactic is a major weapon used by the anti-American left and the deep state. As a FreeRepublic poster, you shouldn’t allow yourself to be fooled by this narrative.

Do you think the deep state is taking a hands off approach here?

Do you think they won’t use this thing in their feeble, hopeless attempts to stop President Trump?

OTOH, Cuomo is getting the message out in real time, more truthfully and honest than CDC and WHO ever has.

You know, you need to do something about your anger issues.

Did you ever think of praying about them instead of taking them out on everyone else?

God is big enough to handle it, and if you turn to Jesus and trust Him, then you can have the peace that passes all understanding which will guard your heart and mind.

Then all that’s going on will not throw you for such a loop because you will know you are secure in the Father’s hands and if the worst should happen that you die, then it’s a promotion.

The author of this article gives a lower number for COVID-19 mortality rate:

“As of this writing, the 4,088 deaths known to the World Health Organization (WHO) therefore occurred among at least 550,000 infections—a mortality rate of 0.74 percent as an upper estimate. Possibly much lower.”

It’s always a very bad idea to discourage independent thinkers.

Yet that’s the narrative you’re following in your post to me.

The personal attacks discredit your comments. Be very careful, the narrative to use personal attacks and to discourage independent thinking is only from the left and the deep state. To allow yourself to be fooled into using these methods is shameful!

Oh. I hadn’t considered that perspective. You’re right. He’ll have to do it some day, so why not now? He’s a loner, so it would be better working conditions for him. I’ll pass along your suggestion to him. Thank you! (Although they’ll all have to be re-tuned in six months, I believe.)

An authoritarian dream…

Governments love crises because when the people are fearful they are more willing to give up freedoms for promises that the government will take care of them. After 9/11, for example, Americans accepted the near-total destruction of their civil liberties in the PATRIOT Act’s hollow promises of security.

It is ironic to see the same Democrats who tried to impeach President Trump last month for abuse of power demanding that the Administration grab more power and authority in the name of fighting a virus that thus far has killed less than 100 Americans.

A virus that has thus far killed just over 5,000 worldwide and less than 100 in the United States? By contrast, tuberculosis, an old disease not much discussed these days, killed nearly 1.6 million people in 2017. Where’s the panic over this?

"Why, do you suppose, he’d downplay that?

I was super angry when I thought they were not going to close ours, but now they have.

They are trying to control the infection rate and infection levels. They've decided what amount of over capacity they will tolerate, but don't want to go above that. So they forcibly close things.

I'd say they have decided they can obtain the rates they are looking for with the schools open. As soon as they see they can't, they will close them. That's every state.

If I could redo my kitchen one thing I’d do is install a foot pedal control for my kitchen faucet. And a pot filler too :)

I was thinking that a foot pedal for handwashing would be a great idea.

I'll have to bounce that one off mr. mm as an add on for our new house.

Okay..so I thought some dude saying Vegas Bookies read FR and move the line based on my posts here was nuts...

But to think Cuomo is basing his policy on FR Coronavirus thread takes the nutty post to a whole new level

6 cases in Travis Co. Sites are slow getting updates today.

That’s funny because this guy did hold his head high when he used the stuff. I suppose it is handy when you can’t break away and wash.

The personal attacks discredit your comments.

So you should stop making them instead of lashing out blindly at everyone in your anger and frustration.

Done.

I never liked Gov. Cuomo, but in this crisis he is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

If that irritates you, that is your problem.
