I have acquaintances sitting in million dollar waterfront homes, well stocked with every luxury, enormous monthly incomes from pensions, investments, savings...bitching about those Lockdown protesting right wing “selfish” hairdressers, business owners, waitresses, bartenders, printers, restauranteurs etc...who haven’t yet seen a dime of unemployment in 2 months due to our lousy state computer system

That's what I've said all along. We and pretty well much of the rest of the world followed the ChiComs right over the cliff with that. Might work with them okay since they are a central planned, central administrated totalitarian society, but devastating to apply anyplace else.

A new one today.. if you don’t wear a mask to protect me n my family, you get no treatment. Posted by a freeper who believes he has the right to deny you care. Just like the other authoritarians.
Going to start judy mikovits book next weekend. Some fearpers believe they have a right to vaccinate you against your will. Trump says the militaru could be used to vax house to house.
I never dreamed of these types of evil.

“ No group has more thoroughly humiliated itself in this episode than so-called experts.”

There is a group who have humiliated themselves more than the experts and that is the Freepers who not only listened to the experts but insisted that the rest us listen as well and then sign onto the expert agenda. Those who would not became the Flubros.

They are now engaged in all sorts of post defacto justifications as to why the did this.

I have must have chummed the waters a 100 times now by naming Freepers who signed onto the ProgDem shutdown agenda as “The Freepers who get monthly checks from the government”. I have yet to have a single denial that that was a true statement.

I had one person tell me I didn’t know how hard it was for older folk. Another who said Those who didn’t overly lockdowns were making it hard on old people. That’s it.

I will say it again. Freepers who draw monthly checks from the government led this tyrannical shutdown. They are as much to blame as any Dem.

I had an idiot Fearper tell me I “had not right to breathe the virus into him”. Try to get your head around that statement.

There is a militant Fearper bunch that believe everyone else is responsible for their safety. They believe that somehow they should be allowed to conduct their lives with zero risk of exposure which is possible if we will all just submit.

Think about this. The virus is so mild most people never know they were infected. Yet these Freeper clowns think the spread can be stopped.

Cloth masks work as good as a perforated vacuum bag

Both studies found that masks captured a wide range of proteins that are actually smaller than coronavirus particles, meaning, says Dr. Dweik, it’s reasonable to assume the masks are also capturing those larger coronavirus particles.

I too wish it would work, and they make a good case for cough coverage

Thank you for posting that! I was just coming here to do the same.

If PATRIOTS aren’t p*ssed by now, they SHOULD be. If you’re not mad, you are NOT paying attention!

Now that they’ve seen how easily led We The Sheeple can be, bet your bottom dollar they’ll do this again. And again. And again! Grrrr!

“Ideas have consequences, as they say. Dream up an idea for a virus-controlling totalitarian society, one without an endgame and eschewing any experienced-based evidence that it would achieve the goal, and you might see it implemented someday. Lockdown might be the new orthodoxy but that doesn’t make it medically sound or morally correct. At least now we know that many great doctors and scholars in 2006 did their best to stop this nightmare from unfolding. Their mighty paper should serve as a blueprint for dealing with the next pandemic.”
