I agree with your chain-of-truth

I sure didn’t like, people don’t buy masks, to, here take this t-shirt and put a rag on your face and you’ll get arrested or can’t buy food if you don’t.

Had they been honest, we need the masks, there is a global shortage for some strange CCP reason, so we’re asking you all to stay home while we find a supply, somewhere. And now we have enough masks for firstliners, and it’s time for you all at home to make one so you can go outside. Here’s a proper pattern to make a proper mask, btw, materials are tax deductible, keep your receipts, sorry we still don’t have enough to give you free ones. And we would have completely understood. And wouldn’t have all these folks right now, who, all they can still hear is, Surgeon General Adams saying ‘People! don’t buy masks’.

* as the masks. The Surgeon General has already said that healthy people should not wear them.*

I think you missed Surgeon General part 2, my FRiend:

Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams, shares ways to create your own face covering in a few easy steps.

We have a dysfunctional and corrupt government. Like all the others on this planet. No where to run. No where to hide. Time to make a stand.

“It was just a few months ago Newsom”

I can’t wait for the day the door hits him in the tush on his way out. The nursing home deaths in Calif fall squarely on his shoulders, as does the squandering of taxpayer money for virus-sheltering of the homeless which didn’t happen, and the voters aren’t going to forget that.

And now today, we find out his super-duper, king of negotiations, billion dollar mask purchase is at a discounted bulk rate of, get this, $3.30 each, plus shipping.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/california-pays-3-30-per-coronavirus-mask-under-quiet-deal-with-chinese-company/ar-BB13HQrF?ocid=spartanntp

” the price paid seems to include only N95 masks, those considered to provide the most protection, but not the cost of traditional surgical masks BYD has also sold to the state. Some 10 million of the surgical masks have already been shipped by BYD, the first ones arriving late last month..”

“The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services refused Monday to provide the contract, insisting in a letter to the Times that the document is exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act. “ !!!!!

headline today on the deceased is something about a 3-way ‘intimate relationship’ not involving the deceased’s wife.

CCP did to France what they did to Peru and the observatory there. The Argentenian ‘space station’. The observatory in the Maldives at Makunudhoo. I could go on and on. We’ll do this and we’ll do that, promises, promises, promises, but when it’s built, it’s only China property and China researchers/workers allowed. And that presence gives China permission to flood each country with ‘settlers’. Who need their own police because local police couldn’t possibly meet their needs. It will be interesting to see how the various countries react to Chinese expansion projects once they sustain major population deaths.

Somebody should ask Biden, Clinton and Kerry why they allowed this. And the UN why there are not already cease-and-desist-allow-inspectors-now sanctions on China lab capability.

permanently:

“During the medical history interview or examination, a history of COVID-19, confirmed by either a laboratory test or a clinician diagnosis, is permanently disqualifying,” the memo reads.

They are germ sinks.

that's the entire point. Germs sink into the mask, which you then discard or sanitize after use. Amazing how that works isn't it.

tell me your opinion. The gubmint sent out checks to pay the rent, with $500extra per kid. And enhanced unemployment and ‘forgiven if you do this’ loans so that people can survive for 30-60 days. I believe the lady got two of the three and her ‘starving employees’ also got two of three.

I admit I don’t know how long that lady’s area was sheltered, I’m guessing 2 weeks. So, wouldn’t opening a business that has accepted a loan to not open, or refusing to pay rent but cashing the rent-reimbursement check, be more of a major negative on a free society than going with the flow for 30 days and playing by the rules for accepting those monies?

I tell you what - there better not be any ‘teacher planning days’ for the rest of this year. Teachers have had plenty of time to plan.

I recently did the COVID-19 antibody test. To get results, I had to sign up with the "myChart" application at the hospital. While checking for my test results, I observed a CT scan report from June 2016. It was done after I spotted an item of concern on my blood test. There were a few concerns mentioned, but the amusing item stated that "unable to resolve details due to a paucity of abdominal fat". Yup. I was 13.2% fat for that CT scan. The antibody test returned negative. Ditto for my wife.

At the parochial elementary school my wife teaches at / for, all of next week is workshops for teachers at the school plus “regular day” online instruction (from anywhere appropriate, but my wife will be using her classroom a lot).

Typical days the last few weeks have been a bit longer than normal, but with more flexible scheduling. No 25+ minute commute in (and back home) is a plus.

My wife / the school has been doing a lot of stuff with an app named “Zoom” so some instruction is “live”. Wifey says she needs a document camera - no indication the school will pay for it. Am trying to find out if a “gooseneck” mount for her smart phone might do the trick. It sure would be cheaper! Anybody have experience with a good inexpensive one?

My daughter goes to the same school system (middle school) & says she’s doing more hours of actual schoolwork now, not less, and I believe it. Again, much of the scheduling is more flexible. And she doesn’t have to get up @ 6 a.m. to get ready for the drive in. :-)

How typical this all is, I cannot say.

China is governed by elevator spitters and grave robbers. As in, if I have to suffer, everyone should suffer. And if I get better faster, I’ll make sure you don’t so I can take your stuff. It’s been said lately, they are running ‘wolf warrior’ cartoons on their kids channels - where the wolf just mutilates its target repeatedly - and it’s celebrated. Think road-runner, but coyote’s legs are torn off and eyes gouged out kind of aggression.

The CCP told on themselves on Mar 4 when their party mouthpiece, Xinhau, bragged that if America didn’t shut up and do what it was told, the virus outbreaks would continue with no medicines from China.

China Threatens to Cut Off Medicine, Throw America into ‘Mighty Sea of Coronavirus’

The Xinhua article made a point of noting that China has leverage over the U.S. and Europe because it can restrict the supply of medicines that were unwisely outsourced to China in the heyday of globalism.
The Chinese paper explicitly threatened to do so if Americans and Europeans continue criticizing its response to the coronavirus or act too slowly to lift travel bans and other restrictions the Chinese government dislikes...

Northwestern develops coronavirus antibody test using single drop of blood

... Those who are tested will be sent a finger prick to illicit a small sample of blood, which is then stored on a special filter paper. The same is sent via regular postal service to the lab...

they didn’t show a picture, but I’m wondering if this is similar to the diabetes blood sugar test strip?

WASHINGTON - Walla Walla - DARWIN AWARD Nominees

A New Source of Coronavirus Spread: ‘Covid-19 Parties’

SEATTLE — A county in Washington State dealing with a coronavirus outbreak has identified a confounding new source of spread: “Covid-19 parties” organized so that people can deliberately mingle with an infected person in the hope of getting their own illness out of the way.

...Ms. Debolt said the two people who became ill after attending one of the parties in the Walla Walla area were young and have not needed hospital care. They informed health investigators that they figured they would be able to quickly recover from the virus, apparently not considering that they could then spread it to others more vulnerable to serious health effects or death.

“They feel really bad now, knowing that they put families and friends and others at risk,” Ms. Debolt said.
She said health authorities learned about the second party during their interviews but had so far only identified two people who became sick.
