...Even Republican governors are now trying to suggest that the flu is reason enough to continue the suspension of democracy and that these voodoo measures could somehow limit the spread of colds and flus. Already last month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who has become indistinguishable from his Democratic counterparts in his approach to this virus and constitutional rights, spoke of a need to "develop proactive strategies that will reduce the spread of the flu in the midst of the #COVID19 pandemic."
What might those measures be?
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) warned last week that "flu can be deadly on its own" and that he is "concerned that Ohioans who get both the flu and #COVID19 at the same time could become severely, if not fatally, ill."
Hence, the politicians are finally discovering what the media never cared about until now — that hospitals are indeed very busy during the height of flu seasons and are often forced into emergency surge capacity during particularly busy flu seasons. Yet we never destroyed our society, economy, and mental health over it. We never shut schools or abused children with masks and plexiglass boxes, even though they typically get sicker from the flu than from coronavirus and are more prolific vectors of the spread of flu.
For example, on Jan. 11, 2018, the Houston Chronicle reported about "strains" on local hospitals — with 13% of ER visits at 40 Houston-area hospitals being flu patients. Children 4 and under accounted for 42% of them! Can you imagine what sort of panic that would induce today? Contrast that to COVID-19 when, last week, just 1.8% of all ER visits were of patients with "covid19-like-illness," according to the CDC. The highest level it hit nationwide was 6.8%, although some places were higher...

Mask-robots are humorless. They don’t frown or smile.
They are easily manipulated comrades.
Red China loves the spectacle.
West for governor 2022; not a third term for Abbott
From further down in the article:
“Nearly every pregnant woman or car crash victim who comes to the hospital is tested for COVID. Anyone who then tests positive, regardless of the symptoms and regardless of why he initially came to the hospital, is counted as a COVID hospitalization. With the flu, typically you are only tested if you are complaining of severe flu symptoms. Imagine if we counted the flu the way we count COVID-19.”
Is it really the case that women hospitalized for normal childbirth are tested? I remember reading some months back that something like 15% of all women in NYC who gave birth tested positive but were asymptomatic.
They seem to forget they can be unelected
I think their next step is to work on a way for elections to be deemed detrimental to public health.

Screw these SOB’s. I’ve had enough.

By whom, though? The scaredy Karens and other lemmings?
So how does this come to an end?
When the people who are thrown out of work go door to door begging from the people who are still working and those who still have jobs have had enough of the begging?
This plague is control freaks dream come to pass... I have no expectation mask wearing requirements will end anytime soon.
Violently.
Governor DeSantis has just lifted mask requirements for the state of Florida.
Have the Fauci experts literally described the actual size of the Wuhan plague?
48 to go; there never were mask requirements and lockdowns and all that crap in South Dakota.
I’m not wearing a mask these days unless the store employees really insist. Most places, nobody says a word. Still too many sheep wearing the muzzle, though.
Personally, I do not believe mask wearing prevents spread. I was told today physicians I know think we are in this mask wearin requirement for next two years.. I have come to the point that I do not expect the plague to end in my life time.
I don’t think so, which is why they are trying so hard to cheat their way into office through vote fraud.
Once they have the upper hand, they will then do whatever is needed to ensure that that is never a threat again.

Kind of 47 to go.
NH still has the mask requirements but lots of people ignore it and as far as I know, the requirements have yet to be enforced by the state.
The medical community polices itself so they MAKE you comply. But beyond that, I have not heard of any problems.
