Flubros and Flubras! Day 57 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

After seeing Fauci get questioned by Rand Paul it is clear that Fauci is well-spoken and intelligent. He also is very educated and experienced. For him to advise on public health policy as poorly as he has means that he is 1. evil, and/or 2. A Democrat stooge. I am glad Trump is downplaying his role and I look forward to his “retirement” in November.

It’s useful to look at how CV has played out in Italy, South Korea, Spain, and other countries that seem to be further along with disease’s progression. This CV is on the way out and any talk of second waves is overstated.

Basically the R0 for this must be overstated, probably by the same scientists who said 2.2 Million will die in the US, and this leads to a lower threshold needed for herd immunity. R0 is the average of how many people catch the virus from a single infected person, assuming everyone is susceptible. The effective R goes down as the disease spreads. Herd immunity threshold = 1-1/R0. Initially scientists said 60% of the population need immunity for this disease to go away, but we are seeing a rapid decline of CV in NYC and other places with only 20% possessing antibodies.

Looking forward to Governor Abbott opening more of Texas on Monday. When a larger state like Texas opens up and everything is OK it puts tremendous pressure on those left wing governors.

As I wrote...you will come on here and make proclamations, demands, and bitch like little girls.

If you need a shot to go back to work...you will get it. Period. You will come on here and lie about it. But in the end—when faced with putting food on your table you do what you have to do.

I’ve seen it happen when I worked at the hospital. You got “the shot” or you went home. There was no gray area at all.

If you are retired or do t work with people...you can brag about that.

She is incapable of rational thought. And she’s become a real Karen through this hoax.

Not at all. You mistake me with someone else.

The key is I don’t give a F about you.

Our local Chili’s often reduced capacity in normal times. I supect it is done to have less kitchen staff to pay. Very annoying having to wait while 1/3 of the restaurant is empty.

Oh...so YOU are making the decisions?

That’s hilarious. You must live way out in the country where there are no stop signs, speed limits or zoning.

Grow up.

Thank you for pointing that out. I thought you Fearbros were concerned about everyone, but it looks like you are just a petty totalitarian.

Oh, so you worked at a hospital? THAT is sort of an important little detail now, isn't it?

My daughter is an ICU nurse. And yes, she has had to take all sorts of nasty shots as a condition of her employment. Not without negative side effects by the way. She now has a whole slew of allergies that she never suffered from as a kid, and will randomly break out in hives for short periods of time.

Now, if you're talking us in the general population it's a whole different matter.

:: But you’ll do it. ::

Are you volunteering or are you just a “strutting peacock” with Fedzilla behind you (you THINK)?
I opt for a more accurate “strutting Karen”

Your making some mighty bold statements over here...on the internet.
Do you need my address?
Bring me over a few masks and a vaxx needle.
We can discuss it in a civilized manner.
I’m open to convincing...if you are.

VermontLt is using inflammatory rhetoric. His content is decided socialist and through this thread, s/he has “amped-up” emotions in the fashion of those who desire to dominate others through emotional, fascist verbage.
Since you facilitate this thread everyday, I thought I would bring this to your attention.
I have included Buckeye McFrog as a witness.

Hey, as I see it everyone on FR, including the Fearbros, is entitled to their opinion. The fact that I disagree does not mean that I have anything at all against them personally.

But when they join this thread which is clearly intended for people who think this is all overblown, they should not be surprised nor get offended at the pushback.

“When it comes down to wearing a mask, you will either wear it...or not get in.”

Maybe in Vermont, Lt. NOT in Arizona. Doing without Costco just fine and haven’t seen any “masks mandatory” elsewhere. Heck, most of the folks on the airplane I took across the country last week dropped their masks once we took off...

I guarantee that I will not get a vaccine and I have never worn a mask.

The rhetoric is going beyond opinion to threatening.

In far east Tennessee; Food City employees are forced to wear masks; whereas NO Food Lion employees were wearing masks. Go figure.

The 62 000 number is from the CDC website.

This always happens on FR during an election year. I’ve been here since the Bush/Gore election. It’s like a good Swiss watch.

What is this constant call of "grow up"?

From a cheese-eating surrender monkey who cowers in the corner, handing out her birth-right to any thug in a lab coat and stethoscope.
I've known nurses like VermontLt.
Who, BTW, DOESN'T know hat I grew up in Detroit and still live in an urban neighborhood.
Loudmouth, BBBs that think the world revolves around their thoughts and opinions.
I'm betting she is one of them.
Her only friends are other loudmouthed BBBs.
All her kids have left home for the gang life and welfare.
Gotz no one left to boss around.
Nurse Rat-schitt with a tan.
