+20329 New Cases
80,787 TOTAL DEAD
It’s good too see from our poll yesterday, and also from reading other threads, that a large percentage of Freepers have come around to the Flubro mindset.
Some things of interest to Flubros:
1. Is Kozak going to post less than 1000 supposedly died of CV yesterday (a new low). Numbers are low on Sunday relative to Monday but this is still a good thing that deaths attributed to CV are falling.
2. What will be the first the state to say no restrictions whatsoever? Is there any state now (don’t think so but not sure) that has no restrictions. Is there any state with close to no restrictions? Is there any state where the people can worship God as they want to? Is there any state that allows restaurants to make a profit like they used to? Is there any state government unafraid to have children attend school?
Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.
I expect a wave of action from churches who have had about enough of this. A combination of civil disobedience and 1A lawsuits.
Oh, and in before Kojak and Piss Boy!

None of them. Those days are gone.
A very dark time is coming.
We must reverse what we have done during the COVID pandemic.
It should, once again, be a NORMAL influenza outbreak response.
We do not want a complete shut-down next December because of a sharp rise in influenza cases.
If we keep down this path, the outcome prior to the election will be devastating.
Without changing, many places of “public accommodation” and their owner/administrators will be arrested for poisoning, and eventually manslaughter.
All it takes is one employee to forget to have their mask in its proper place and somebody’s dead mee-maw 2-weeks later.
Stemming from a governor’s Executive Order.
Call this hyperbole all you want but remember, this board rejected ^out-of-hand^ the concept of 2 men being legally married when the idea was first floated.
I guess the public isn’t panicky enough about the second wave fear mongering. I see New York is now pushing a new scare tactic, “it’s killing all the children”. On 11/4 the national CV headline will be, “oh, never mind”.
Constitutional Amendment Proposal: In the event of a situation which causes any President, Cabinet Secretary, Congressman, Senator, Governor, State Legislator, County Administrator, or any local authority, to attempt to mandate the interruption of commerce for any period of time, no public monies will go to the salaries or accruals of those decision makers, and all of their employees and contractors, with the exception of the Armed Forces of the United States, until the situation has passed, and one year thereafter. Such monies will be forfeited to establish a fund to ameliorate the damage done to commerce, and will never be paid retroactively to those who occasioned for commerce to stop.

It is indeed.
Why did fall?
Because we took extraordinary, painful action to flatten the curve.
No thanks to Flubros.
Watch the numbers climb if people act like idiots in the coming weeks.
I’m old enough to remember a time when the pearl clutchers actually thought their irrational panic was somehow rational.
IIRC South Dakota and Nebraska have not had any restrictions...
Saw masks for sale at the gas station yesterday...$6.99 for a five pack & $19.99 for twenty...guy told me he’s sold a couple of 5 packs, no 20’s and everybody asks if they can just buy one...
They are merchandised between the lottery scratch tickets and the dope smoking pipes...to which I’ll let you draw your own conclusions...
I live in North Dakota. I’m retired but work part-time as a bartender. We opened the bar on May 1 to full service. We have been packed with people. Our restaurants, stores and malls are open too. There are some people who like to wear masks and stay home. Good for them, that is their choice, no problem. The majority of people just want to get out and on with life.
Tomorrow’s topic should be a retrospective one. What was the first piece of evidence that led you to become a flubro/bra and thus see the light?
A day or two ago (time flies...) I found a site showing massive protests all over Germany about restrictions. Massive. Some cop action, but moistly not.
COVID will pass. Other issues require conservatives of all opinions on COVID response to come back together to defeat those issues.
Response from other thread...
No you've just made COVID shut down a litmus test for what you think is conservative. If someone thinks the shutdown was a good idea, or even a necessary evil, then you think they are on the left.
Trump however agreed with the shutdown and still believes as do I that it saved 1.5 million lives. But Trump also acknowledges that the cure can't be worse than the disease, and the lock down can't continue indefinitely.
It's a bad litmus test you have. It doesn't extend to other issues. And you've excluded about 75% of Republicans from your definition of "right".
"Similarly, the Navigator Research polling found that 51 percent of Republicans agreed that “we are currently doing the right thing when it comes to social distancing,” compared with 24 percent who favor more aggressive social distancing and just 21 percent who want fewer restrictions.1"
