Gates has white-saviored himself into just another snake oil salesman. He doesn’t have a word to say to Argentina, Mexico, Chili, Canada, the UK or Australia beef industries, and especially not China’s new beef industry. Just America.
truer words and all that...
This is the time we can plan for 4 months. Whatever we found ourselves short on after one month, that’s what we want to slowly build up over the next 3 months. Whatever didn’t keep well, either substitute or find a better way. If there’s still 4 years of rice and beans left, don’t buy more. But if you ran out of laundry detergent two weeks ago, that’s a shopping item. Being locked down and grocery runs limited, we’ve all got a pretty good idea now just what it takes to get the family thru a month’s siege. Times 4, plus holidays, and we’ll be set for winter, still eat like kings and queens of our castles and we won’t be contributing to sudden grocery store shortages come October.
I just want to stick up for us southern folks, at least here in NW Florida.
I have never seen any incident with an antimask person in any of my trips to the store.
What I have seem is that there is about a good 50/50 split of masks to no masks, no gloves except by store employees, and everyone is more courteous than I’ve ever seen in my life.
I was just in the hardware store yesterday. This store is always packed to the maximum with very narrow isles. There is no way to avoid anyone. If there was going to be a pressure cooker type scenario with masks, I’d guess it would be in there. But same thing, everyone as courteous as I’ve ever seen anyone.
It’s remarkable.
The new paper identifies the actual single letter mutation. Its called D614G.
Lookner has stories about stompy feets being arrested across Texas. That hair cutter got a week in jail and a $7,000 fine.
Ditto that here in N. GA, Chris. My husband’s business has had about 95% of customers driving through with masks. There is no anti-mask sentiment anywhere around that I can see and we live in a very conservative area.
Again, I am convinced that these FR agitators are here on a mission.

Local property tax voted down here.
******** Winning!
Plenty of people here without face covers. Mask shame meter at about “2”.
Defense was a sloppy word. Rebuttal would be better. We are exercising a lot of arguements just to work out the potential issues, no doubt. Also, we are in the Apocalyptic Times when the civilization has eaten the forbidden fruits and can now kill off most the planet with newly found and poorly understood powers.
Funny, there has been no shaming around here. People were doing it before the governor talked about it last week.
Wow! Just Wow!
I hope our President sees this video, and follows up.
I hope he will have the good judgment to see right through
Fauci and his corrupt buddies.
HHS, CDC, NIH, etc.— worse, worse, far more corrupt than DOJ and F B I.
Thank you.
so for those researching VItamin D..you can really go into the weeds with these links. Turns out the weird things that were happening to me a few weeks ago MAY have been from the Vitamin D hammer. I already have inflammatory problems as shown with ONE big psoriasis patch under my knee
To: DannyTN
I dont want to get into a big long tadoo about Vitamin D
Yes, it is important.
Yes, Covid patients are low in VItamin D...we dont know if it caused the disease or because of the disease
BUT Vitamin D is not what many think it is....and even Drs...case in point..my Dr who gave me a vitamin D hammer because my Vitamin D was below 20. Also made no mention of telling me to take K2..but I knew to do that.
I had a reaction that I thought was a herxheimer reaction to a few pellets of monolaurin..It turns out ..It MAY be because of the 50k Vitamin D hammer i take once a week
this is far too in the weeds to discuss...but Drs should be looking at it in relation to Covid

if anyone really wants to read in the weeds about difference in Vitamin D there is a google E book

Ok, I stand corrected. The one confirmed news story about the violent anti-mask incident (store employees being attacked for wearing PPE) was in Oklahoma, which is midwest. Howeverm a large number of the strident anti-PPE and flubro members on FR are in the south (with several also posting from the west coast).
I want to apologize for seeming to conflate normal southern people and crazy people who happen to post on FR. I can understand people in Democrat controlled areas being angry about the heavy handed response? But why the freak-out response from flubros in the south?
I also get tired of reading the main page posts of these sickos on FR who are claiming that the deaths in NY, Chicago, or here in Iowa aren’t really happening, or it doesn’t matter because they are old, or sick, or the wrong skin color, or that doctors and nurses are making up the death statistics, lying about symptoms, etc. The main page is filled with crazy vanities and links to fly-by-night blog sites. Has this site turned from a conservative/Trump supporter’s site to some strange conspiracy theory nuthouse?
My thought is vitamin D levels would be lower on an aged population with less sunlight overall. Surprised to find such a difference near the equator. They compared low levels to high levels and found 10 times less deaths at high levels. Dr. Campbell just reviewed that article and only question he had was on the old school way they reported D3 levels.
Nah, don’t even worry. There’s not a single thing to apologize for.
As far as hostility towards people wearing masks, I don’t even understand. What is someone going to do, walk up to a little old lady, or a little old man, or a cashier in a mask and go all hostile on them? Such an action, in my opinion, would be outrageous.
These events this years have affected us all in a number of different ways. Some people afraid of this, other people furious at that, people seeing people they saw as friends four months ago now as enemies or opposing factions.
It’s a truly remarkable series of events. It reminds me in a way of a particular episode of The Twilight Zone Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, where a neighborhood is slowly turned against each other during an alien invasion where the aliens are simply toying with the neighborhood watching them go mad.
A very similar thing is happening here. Normalcy has been drastically altered, and the effect is tremendous.
Unfortunately, it is not just FR posters that are the issue.
I can’t listen to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity without my blood boiling.
I understand the need to balance the economic impact with the health care system impact.
They do not—imho—and are focusing on oversimplifying “lockdown vs liberty” and making it a partisan issue.
It should not be a partisan issue imho—but amazingly they can’t figure out the obvious tactical problem—if it is a partisan issue the Republicans will lose.
so if you have a blood disorder you can go here to see what they say about COVID 19...it’s about as you would suspect it would be...many areas of info they just dont know
