Flubros and Flubras! Day 40 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Good news in Texas - Governor Abbott rolled back the draconian mandatory mask rules imposed in some Democrat counties. So I am thankful that lawmakers are slowly allowing us to have some of our constitutional freedoms again.

Herd Immunity - Apparently the science around herd immunity is settled. It is really settled and not just global warming “settled”. Herd immunity levels are known for many viruses and these levels are a function of how many healthy people the average sick person infects. It is a broad range right now but herd immunity for CV occurs in the range of 29% to 74% having antibodies.

Worldometer - numbers of newly infected are on the way down. Politicians must surely relax things now - right?

Last night I was talking to a very good friend who works as a chaplain in hospice care in Mass. She is a Christian and I thought I had as much respect for her as I could for another human. But that respect level managed to jump last night as I heard what she is dealing with now on the very front lines in this battle. Most that she provides care to these days have covid. And they are dying. And they are alone. It broke my heart and I pray that she stays safe. she doesn't need to work. Especially now. But she is one of the only chaplains her company still has working. She is an absolute warrior. She told me about a Christian nurse she knew who was dealing with covid patients who contracted the virus. That nurse took her own life. These would not have been the typical stories of her work and our general discussion if this was just the flu.

If you don't see and hear about the death around you, be grateful rather than look to castigate as President Trump has walked a fine line in dealing with this and preventing it from multiplying worse than it has. Have some politicians gone overboard and need to be reined in? Absolutely. But this is not the flu. And the animosity and condescension this ongoing thread has created on this great website is easily the worst thing I have witnessed here. I promise this will be my last reply here. I hope others on both sides follow suit.

I’ve gotten a flu shot exactly once in the past 30 years. Can you guess the only year I got the flu? Never again.

Boring, uncreative, juvenile.

You all run around stating that 2 + 2 is greater than 3 as if you were the ones who discovered it and as if that is a precise answer.

This thread is like a group of emotionally abused, resentful kids who form a club to rage against the world with low IQ sarcasm and fake courage (and fake humor I might add.)

But I'm glad flubros are here. Even the beautiful forest needs mold, decay and mosquitos.

:: I checked more than your profile. ::

Dude, that’s a lot of work looking for a chance to “shoot the messenger”!
How about you stay on task and tell us your thoughts on COVID-19.
Which do you fear more: the punishment of the virus or the punishment of the law?

Evidence please, elsewise this is simply a low-IQ rage against the Flubros thread.

impimp,
Please add me to your ping list.
I can believe that this virus is bioengineered. But, fortunately, another crap China product.
I think our President and Vice President have handled this magnificently.
The lamestreammedia once again prove themselves to be shameless and anti-American.
Best regards

Dude. You look like a duck. You walk like a duck. You quack like a duck. If you aren’t a duck maybe you shouldn’t be on the pond during duck season.

“if we save just one life”; then we must close down the entire country. Stay home and keep your mask on if: you’re; obese, diabetic, asthmatic, over 85. But in Amerika we punish the majority for the minority.

Allowing us our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS is not up for thanks. No thanks necessary. They shouldn't have been such tyrants to start with.

Your post 24:
“and fake courage”

Your post 31:
“maybe you shouldn’t be on the pond during duck season.”

Oooooo. A sly death implication from a hypocritical tough guy?
The hunter become the hunted.

You are exactly right...they shouldn’t have tried to take them away in the first place and we should pushback hard against anyone who tries to take our rights away.

You guys challenged me so I did it. I don’t think a single freeper has any question I am who I say I am. But who is impimp? Do YOU know? Because if you examine his actions how would you tell if he is not an agent provocateur? He sure appears to be one.

Keep the thread going. I love the stench of Fearpers in the morning. It smells like, well, freeze-dried lasagna.

Yet, like a moth to a flame, you return. If all there is here is high school hijinks, then why waste your time when you could be making more masks and hoarding more toiletries? Because you know you were wrong and overreacted. You come here to see reality, not fear. We use words like “honor”, “code”, “loyalty”. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. Oops, I digress.
