It’s just the flu, bro.

Learned a new phrase today - medical police state. That phrase doesn’t seem to fit well with freedom and liberty.

I checked the internet after I heard Alan Dershowitz say it on Tucker Carlson - apparently mandatory vaccinations for everyone are legal if the state/government thinks they serve to protect people. This is another concept that doesn’t seem to fit well with freedom and liberty.

It is definitely concerning that these anti-freedom concepts are in place. Especially because there doesn’t seem to be any predefined minimum threshold that must be exceeded for the state to declare a medical emergency and take our freedom away. Essentially as long as politicians think it is OK to force the vaccination then it will be supported by the courts.

At least with the lockdowns we seem to be having some success with the courts as the 5th amendment seems to protect people/businesses from having their stuff taken without due process and just compensation.

Hopefully we can get a favorable Supreme Court ruling, if a case goes there, to help protect Americans’ freedom from the medical police state.

August 1 is the latest possible date the athletic directors in Texas are giving for football practices to be started, if the college football game schedule is to be kept. Governor Abbott says college football is going to happen, therefore August 1 is the date that I predict for most lockdown restrictions to go away. We will all essentially be saved by football.

Headlines for today

1. CDC quietly revises death rate down to 0.26% (it’s just the flu bro)
2. Ongoing research demonstrates the vast majority of deaths are in elderly
3. The majority of those are from skilled nursing
4. The virus does not live and spread from surfaces.

Worldodometer continues to show week over week decrease in new cases. The expected spike on Thursday was not joined death rare spike

The virus appears to be attenuating to not as severe

Everything points to this event being concluded. But hang around. If he hasn’t already low IQ koczak will be here momentarily with his snapshot of panic porn.

FYI - in Texas, the earliest that high schools can start two-a-days is around August 1. Only if you didn’t have a spring game and practices. If you did (like most larger schools,) you can’t start until around August 8. NCAA usually starts around August 1 as well.

I find this power of the “health emergency” to override the Constitution to be quite concerning too.

Looks like Flubros were right. 96% of deaths were geezers and 1/3 of all victims were murdered by Andrew Cuomo. Without NY this outbreak is fat less severe than 1969.

Here in Arizona, some before I arrived, the Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL) (I'm a recent member) engineered a “carve-out” (my term) protecting firearms and gun stores from this overreach in Executive Orders. “A Tip of the Stetson” for that as we say here.

I think similar restrictions and limitations to personal and economic freedoms need to be written before this overreaching fiasco is repeated. Our Arizona legislature went AWOL and our Courts closed. There needs to be an auto-stop order in these laws.
