Flubros and Flubras! Day 31 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Lawmakers in DC are putting together a plan to get America back to work. Why do these people feel the need for elaborate planning? I wished they would have declared “Mission accomplished! The curve is has been flattened and hospitals aren’t overrun - everyone back to work!”. They aren’t saving lives. They are wasting money and destroying families and businesses.

I saw a study in Massachusetts that they tested 200 random people for antibodies and 33% had the antibodies (but no symptoms). This is almost everywhere and it will be everywhere in the near future. It can’t be stopped. Contact tracing and testing is another stupid Dem idea. If this has already spread everywhere why try and delay the inevitable?

We need politicians to say this is just the flu and it’s time to move on. The people are so freaked out by this stupid flu that it will take a while for them to come around. Politicians started the panic with their lockdown so they can try to stop the panic.

After posting this thread I read the above article - it says the left will insist on every stupid thing with CV so that they can point to something that Trump didn’t do as a sign of his failure.

With all of this extra time to cyberloaf I managed to surf across this interesting photo of French women who were collaborators during WW II.

Good Morning to all of the Karens out there!

My goodness! Extreme! But Karen does need to be told she is wrong, publicly. That is what Karen hates the most - public disapproval. Unfortunately all the Dems will thank Karen for her brave stand.

‘Politicians started the panic with their lockdown so they can try to stop the panic.’

politicians know a panicked populace is an easily controlled populace...authorities throughout history, both secular and religious, have known the value of control through fear...

The economy is literally hanging over the edge of a cliff yet it seems to remain a secondary concern by our leadership. Crude oil has crashed to $11/bbl, jobless claims are at 22 million (and rapidly growing) yet Trump is still focused on the ridiculous notion that the lockdowns have saved 2.2 million lives while the country remains locked down. WTF is happening?

We might have had fifty carriers fly from Italy and China to the US.

We might now have hundred thousand carriers in the USA.

We are in worse shape now.

I saw a study in Massachusetts that they tested 200 random people for antibodies and 33% had the antibodies (but no symptoms).

Both my wife and I had many of the symptoms, (but no fever or chest pain) back in January. Dry cough, very runny nose, tired, loss of appetite, loss of smell and taste, but we never went to a hospital or doctor.

When the dust settles, we are going to get tested for antibodies because if we have them the next time will be stress free, and we can donate plasma for other folks.

I believe that this is much more wide spread, and therefore less deadly than the msm portrays it.

Hard to know whether to go the “ Flubro” route or the ‘Chinese attacking us’ route. Both fit. But one neutralizes the other.

i believe that when the history of this gets written, we will find out that is pretty much what transpired...

So what? It’s just the flu. Most people are asymptomatic. If it is widely spread then that is good - herd immunity and then the Dem plan of tracing becomes dumb.

“might” - fact - you don’t know and neither do the experts. We may have much less than that. Grow a spine and risk something for your Freedom or stay home and cower.
