No Covid Compliance This Time Around
Wall Street Journal ^ | Aug. 28, 2023 6:02 pm ET | By Matthew Hennessey

Summer’s nearly over, and cold-and-flu season is on the way. Soon everyone will be sniffling and sneezing, hacking and coughing. You know what that means: Covid hysteria is poised for a comeback.

You can feel it in the hot, wet, politicized air. News reports say case counts are on the rise. A new coronavirus variant is circulating, and researchers are worried. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is tracking a surge in Covid-related hospital visits. A few college campuses and business offices are demanding masks.

President Biden told reporters Friday he’s asking Congress “for funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works.” Why should we believe that after the long litany of noble lies and the coercion they were used to justify?

Every year since 2020, autumn has brought fears that the killer virus would emerge like the biblical fourth horseman. These fears have often been exploited for political gain, and with the presidential race kicking into a higher gear, the stakes will likely be higher this time around.

The old anxieties return. What if it’s worse this time? What if they call for lockdowns? How can we be sure people won’t fall into line again? Can my business survive another test? Can the country?

It's important to always wear your Fauci mask when going out...

Mail-in ballots is the cover for the high tech steal.

Those electronic voting machines are to be protected at all costs.

Wowzer, is this a dead thread already?

There are those who believe the full faith and force of Government will be used to demand, mandate, insure complete obedience to all future mandates for masks, social distancing, the Jab, whatever comes down the pike you WILL obey.

“From Wall Street Journal? Odd”

Did you read the comments? Lots of true believers out there. One woman stated that the Covid killed more Republicans than Democrats.

I complied because everyone seemed to be complying and I didn’t have the guts to say no

Like many, many others, you were tested, and found wanting. And so you, along with everyone like you, have earned my contempt, destroyed my trust, and are considered a threat to my freedom and well-being.

Covid - bah! Anything with a 70% alcohol content can kill the Covid, Flu, even cold viruses. After I read scientific proof that cloth masks didn't stop the smaller molecules of Covid, we stop wearing them.

Our protocol: Anytime we left the house for basic errands, we had a small spray bottle of alcohol and would spray the inside car handle, seatbelts, and our hands. More importantly, ANYTHING (including the mail) we would spray with Lysol in the garage before taking inside, plus spray the doorknobs and hands again. Neither us got Covid, the flu, or as much as a cold. We didn't get flu vaccine either as we usually do.

The moment flu season is verified, we will start that protocol again. It's a hassle, but it works. Disinfect EVERYTHING and on all sides. Spray Lysol is easiest to use, but Purell in a dispenser bottle or hand wipes works just as well. Plain old fashion rubbing alcohol is our backup because it drys out the hands.

Personally, I doubt state Governors will shut down their economies again.
