It’s the NYPost....fear porn mongering yet again.

He did poo poo it and we forced him to do it. I repeatedly warned against this course of action and was treated like shiite for it and now here we are. I was fully on board the Trump train from day 1 and I’m livid over this election outcome but we did this to ourselves. The results are in. We blundered.

[MrRelevant]

But zero flu deaths and heart attcks are down too.... so we have that going for us....

I was in the hospital on Tuesday for an outpatient procedure. No signs of over crowding, people dying of COVID and when I talked to hospital staff there was little concern. My surgeon greeted me with a handshake (no gloves) and no mask in pre-op. Don’t believe a damn thing you read in the media.

2 million vaccinated and the deaths go up?

Nothing Trump did was worth spit it if was buried or distorted by the enemedia; I said leading up to the 2016 election that without control of media outlets (of any kind) the Republicans were done. The misinformation leading up to the 2016 election, and the four years of non-stop NeverTrump coverage 24/7, ensured that we Americans would never have a voice like Trump again. The Republocrats will never let one get through the primaries, and voting third party just ensures another government from one half or the other of the Republocrat party.

What’s ridiculous is that we’re still poo pooing this virus. It’s a blunder and this blunder cost us everything. Once again. You go ahead and keep poo pooing and crying about your mask. Pretty sure you’re gonna have more to cry about real soon. All of us will.

Trump from Day 1 was a man who beat BOTH parties to win the White House, and both parties ensured his agenda basically went nowhere (still an open border, still trafficking replacement Americans here to work or sit on the dole and breed); he had no chance.

The lone mask wearers really annoy me, what are they thinking? Especially the ones that are exerting themselves by jogging or bicycling. Do they think they are required by law to wear one?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.

One thing the masks and distancing have done is to disincline you to do things. Want to go out to eat? Maybe, but with all the hassle and risks, why? Take a vacation? Go to church? The masks are making us biased against human contact and disinclined to socialize. All part of the plan, I fear.

that's true, for sure, in my own life. Thinking about looking for a new car? I can hold on to the old car for another year. Restaurant? Too much trouble. Haircut? I can do it myself.

My whole life has been diminished down to a low essentials-only baseline.

[robel]

Is that died from covid? Or died with covid? Or died and then was give an unreliable covid test? Or was it all three?

[maddog55]

Pure BS...

[HerrBlucher]

No, what is ridiculous is your line of thinking, about the same as Edith Bunker's.

It’s sickening what Newsom has done to California but it’s not like California hasn’t been sliding into socialism for years. I used to never vote for Dewine because his NRA rating was pathetic. I voted for him last time around because I had to. I think he has actually managed this crisis well though and he just signed a stand your ground law. If he were up for reelection tomorrow, I could vote for him without holding my nose. He’s way better than Kasich turned out to be, that’s for sure.

In Japan, if someone contracts the virus, he — and everyone he has ben in contact with — is quarantined. That would mean everybody who rode on a commuter car with him would be quarantined.

Their system works.

[octex]

More BS data. People die of various causes, but if they are then found to have been COVID positive they will be recorded as COVID deaths. ...Many storys about auto crash, gun shot, heart attack, etc., deaths documented as deaths from COVID.

[RC one]

I feel like he was his own worst enemy at times. And I get that he had to defend the economy from widespread panic but he should have said...less.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

If that’s true, then why are all other causes of death at or slightly above their normal levels?
