The pandemic isn’t over. But America sure seems over it.

A friend of mine in Florida ran the numbers. You’re more likely to win money from the Florida Lottery than you are to die from the Corona virus, even though that state is full of senior citizens.

Does this mean I can go get sanitized wipes now? Wipes can’t be had for love or for money, in any store I have visited, while every other item that people bought in panic has been restocked.

The riots are proof things are starting to get back to normal.

Well, I’m going to go leave to get a hair cut in about 15 min. Just tired of long hair, pandemic or no. :-)

The cases numbers aren’t important— the hospitalizations are. I live in one of the free states and know six people that tested positive. One of them cut my hair a couple of weeks ago (medically cleared a month ago), one needed oxygen (older overweight woman), four were asymptomatic, and one was down for a couple of days with the flu.

“It ain’t gonna kill us. But it is going to gum up the works come labor day.”

Agree, were seeing the results of the lockdowns and masks from a month ago (with cases/deaths dropping), and soon we’ll see the results of no longer doing that...and just when the schools were scheduled to start next fall!

What we see is that the left NEEDS widespread FEAR to maintain control.

They can be assured that the MSM and the 'Karens" will assist in enforcing shutdown orders.

It is clear that the liberal Governors and Mayors don't have the resources to CONTROL the people. (even unarmed)

So, we see the left enlisting social media to suppress "unapproved" ideas, and flagging "offenders" to banks and financial institutions.

If we want America and our Freedoms to survive, we can't let the left continue to smother us one inch at a time.

“The numbers keep going up here, but I don’t know any of them.”

Then it can’t be real. Personally, I’m waiting for a close family member to get the virus and die of it, then I’ll believe it’s real - but, of all the luck, they wear masks when they go out, so ain’t gonna happen!
(just having some fun here)

There’s a new crisis in town: riots. I knew this immediately, when the local lefty radio station led with “White cop kills innocent Black man.” I knew that CV19 had been demoted to second-rank crisis and that Trump would have a new crisis to handle, that they would trash him for no matter what he did.

The cult of the mask most certainly isn’t over, at least out here. Most food stores will not let you in if you aren’t wearing a mask. And this policy seems to be spreading.

Just to be clear, no doubt deaths are legit, but not all. Officials have conspired to delegitimize the official accounting - here is an admission

I don’t know if it would be successful but I hope some of these blue state governors get sued by the people who lost loved ones in Nursing homes

I hope they do, too, as well as criminal murder and civil rights trials.

just watched a commercial tonight put out by “Coronavirus.gov” who used a D.J Khaled as their spokesperson who said essentially

“Stay at home, spend time with your family, that’s the key. If you go outside you are being selfish, and are putting everybody at risk. If you care about your life, Stay Home”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTqP5vbU3lY

Seriously? So if we open up our front door to go out- we’re ‘being selfish’ and we are putting ‘everyone at risk’ and ‘we will die’?

Hey Khaled- people are committing suicide because they’ve lost their jobs, lost their homes because they can’;tr par rent or pay the bills- they can’t feed their families properly- 99% pf the population is going to survive this virus just fine- your commercial makes it seem that if so much as open a window to the outdoor world, we’ll catch the virus and die- The flu kills 10’s of 1000’s every year- shall we all hide inside every time the flu season rolls around twice a year? Those for you who are rich might be able to weather long downtime without a job- but the vast majority of Americans can’t- and shouldn’t have to since the virus will take less than 2% of the population- so stop scaremongering and shaming people for going outside and living their lives-
