It’s just the flu, bro.
Biden has flip flopped about 3 times on the 3 month mandatory nationwide mask policy. Unfortunately for Trump Biden now says that he wouldn’t have the power to enforce it. By November it will be much more politically damaging to be in favor of a mandatory mask policy than to be an incompetent flip flopper.

I have noticed the least amount of social distancing and mask wearing for youth basketball. It seems the other youth sports organizations are filled with Karens and virtue signalers. Those sports will pay the price - kids want to play and compete. Anyone else noticing this trend?

Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.
I don’t have kids, but I play in adult leagues.
Enrollment is at around 25% of normal.
Lots of chickenshits, with females leading the way.
Co-ed volleyball, which is usually equal or more women, can hardly put 3 teams together.
Here is the perfect thread for you to post that ‘luciferian’ image you have been posting recently...
12,393 DEAD of the china flu.
58 MORE than yesterday!a
Meanwhile, 33 people died from falling down stairs yesterday as well.
I wonder if anyone prays for Kozak?
The CONSTANT fear-mongering by the media has brainwashed many people...even presenting them with the facts after all this time will have NO effect.
updated 17 Sept: Philadelphia Inquirer: Chester County will notify thousands of ‘questionable’ COVID results, in wake of Inquirer story
by William Bender and Marie McCullough
After denying problems with their $13 million coronavirus antibody testing program, Chester County officials on Tuesday acknowledged that the tests, purchased from a local biotech start-up, produced “potentially inaccurate” results that the county concealed from the public — and even from the thousands who took the tests.
The about-face follows an Inquirer report last week showing that Chester County spent $13 million in federal pandemic aid on a no-bid contract to Malvern-based Advaite at the suggestion of State Sen. Andy Dinniman (D., Chester County). Because of the public health emergency, governments can enter contracts without seeking competitive bids.
The testing program was intended to identify essential workers who had developed disease-fighting antibodies, which show up in the blood after COVID-19 infection. Ultimately, the plan was to pay $20 million to test all one million residents of Chester and Delaware Counties to better understand the scope of local infection, and how long antibodies might provide immunity to the deadly virus.
In the first few weeks after testing began May 7, Advaite’s product produced results that seemed accurate.
But suddenly on May 21, the percentage of people testing positive for coronavirus antibodies began spiking to levels far above what was plausible, based on the prevalence of the virus in the area, according to internal emails and interviews.
On June 2, the county quietly shelved the program...
Regardless, the county never informed those who may have received false alarms, nor did it disclose the questionable results — about 6,100 of the 19,425 tests it conducted — on its website...
Renée Cassidy ultimately resigned in July as the county’s public health physician to protest the handling of the problem. She said her superiors resisted stopping the program and notifying people when accuracy became a concern.
“They seemed very invested, like, ‘We have to keep going.’ And I’m like, ‘No, we don’t have to keep going if we don’t know what we’re doing is accurate.’ ... They were overly married to this tool, in my opinion,” Cassidy said.
As recently as last week, the county continued to insist that the tests had worked as advertised.
“Nothing went wrong with the antibody testing program,” Chester County spokesperson Rebecca Brain said in a statement last Wednesday...
The tests were purchased from Advaite in April. The company’s CEO, Karthik Musunuri, 26, is the son of Shankar Musunuri, a biotechnology veteran known to Sen. Dinniman. Shankar Musunuri had contributed $4,000 to Dinniman’s campaign committee between 2012 and 2020, and the senator had hired Musunuri’s younger son as a summer intern...
Emails show that the Advaite invoice stated the tests were “non-returnable and payments non-refundable.”...

VIDEO: 2m14s: 17 Sept: WBAL TV: Dozens of nursing home residents retested for coronavirus after false positive results
by Jayne Miller
“The real danger is getting a false positive and then moving somebody — who is ultimately negative — into a room or part of a center where there are positive patients and needlessly exposing someone who is negative to someone who is positive because you have a false positive result,” DeMattos said...
The Maryland Department of Health supplied the University of Maryland School of Medicine lab with 370,000 coronavirus tests that were purchased by the state and deployed to nursing homes.
The tests came from the lab at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In a statement sent late Thursday afternoon, an executive from the University of Maryland at Baltimore said an investigation by the lab is underway...
The state gave the lab 370,000 of the test kits the state purchased from a South Korean company in a highly touted deal. The lab did not identify the test kit involved in the investigation. The executive did say the lab is no longer using the test from the South Korean company.

15 Sept: NY Post: Medical firm probes false-positive COVID-19 tests in US nursing homes
By Noah Manskar
The New Jersey-based company, also known as BD, said a “small number” of nursing homes are reporting multiple false-positive COVID-19 tests from its Veritor Plus machine, which can deliver results in 15 minutes.
Roughly a dozen sites have experienced a “significant number” of the incorrect results, while several others have only seen one or two, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the problem Tuesday...
False positives — which indicate a person has the deadly coronavirus when they actually don’t — are particularly dangerous in nursing homes because they could lead healthy patients to be placed in areas with infected people, according to the Journal.
For example, eight residents and three workers at Dallas’s Presbyterian Village North nursing home were moved to a unit for people with the deadly virus after they tested positive on a BD device in early September, the Journal reported. But all of their results from a more precise lab-based test came back negative and they were taken out of the unit, according to the paper...

18 Sept: UK Spectator: Why isn’t Matt Hancock taking Covid false positives seriously?
by Tom Lees
As Matt Hancock was doing his media round this morning, it was refreshing to hear him finally being questioned about the challenge of false positives. But his response made me worry whether the Health Secretary really knows what a false positive is – or the potential extent of the problem when it comes to detecting coronavirus and the impact of that on decision making...
The manufacturers of the UK’s RT-PCR tests report that the specificity of those tests is around 99 per cent, meaning that up to one per cent of cases are false positives. Public Health England research suggests however this may be more like 95 per cent in reality...
Last week’s official data revealed that the UK has been processing around 220,000 tests a day, a significant increase on a month ago where the average was 170,000. Given one per cent of tests may return a false result, this means that 2,200 of reported Covid-19 ‘cases’ could in fact be false. This means 2,200 people – and their families – forced into isolation; their relatives unnecessarily worried; their workplaces forced to deep clean, or even shut.
The rolling average of reported daily cases is currently around 3,300, which would indicate that as many as up to two thirds of the reported case total could, in fact, actually be a testing error. This might lead to the perverse situation that if you test positive for Covid-19 you are actually more likely not to have the virus than have it, hardly the ‘very small’ likelihood the Health Secretary suggested.
So is the government listening to these growing calls to take the issue of false positives seriously? The Royal Statistical Society has warned the Government that:
‘Tests cause harm when they miss or wrongly diagnose cases. Our current tests have one and two per cent false positive rates – which, when millions are being tested every day, risks causing personal and economic harm to tens of thousands of people. This problem is exacerbated if the new tests, as is likely, are less accurate than the ones used currently.’...
As testing volumes continue to increase, the role of false positives will naturally play an increasingly important role unless a test with significantly higher accuracy is developed...

And that’s part of how the reckoning begins!
The great tragedy is that so much damage, economically, psychologically, physiologically, spiritually, and politically has been done in the name of SCIENCE and MEDICAL EXPERTS.
Once the facts are all collated, all the fearmongering from the Kozaks of the world gets relegated to the ash heap of history, and people begin, again, to focus on real problems, there will still be the destructive residue of mistrust, disbelief, and lifelong personal damage that will linger for generations.
For this you can thank Kozak and his ilk.
It’s truly disgusting.
And it makes me sad for the younger generations.
I live in Chester County.
Just another scumbag Indian in Malvern.
They’ve already messed up Vanguard’s IT personnel with H1-B’s stealing jobs.
Exton/Downingtown, Malvern, and KOP are overrun with Indians.
this goes well with the OneSharedWorld Summit rubbish:

Make sure you watch the FOX-17 news video. You need to ask yourself...IF this is going on in Nashville; what OTHER cities are screwing with COVID numbers to keep the "crisis" going?
Brozak, if all you do all day is sit around waiting for flubro posts, you are way more likely to die from your sedentary resentful pessimistic lifestyle than from Covid.
Tell us not for whom the Darwin tolls ... the Darwin tolls for thee.
On the other hand, if ye challenged yeself to become a happy warrior rather than a sad resister and resenter and overall damp blanket who seems to see yeself as a bright clarion of reality, ye will live a long time and even longer in the happy rather than dreary memories of those who knew ye.
But if not, how can we miss you when you won't leave?
Certainly there is a physical life on this grassy orb, and it bears examination, though certainly not the relentless re-examination you each day provide ad nauseum et comedium, uyet there is a more important life too. Have you already lost that life?
