A.) Archie was actually a raging liberal that was mocking conservatism.

B.) I am an ER nurse in a city that is swamped with Covid. I have seen hundreds of Covid patients. My current job involves reviewing Covid cases. I don't want to fight with you but you are not going to tell me what's what with Covid.

He provided plenty of ammo for the enemedia to turn well-meaning low-IQ people against him; he shouldn’t have played their game.

Oh, they haven't done anything -- anything -- to stop a virus from acting like a virus? I know -- let's do more of the same! Maybe this time the virus will give up and just go away.

Sorta like communism? It hasn't worked only because we haven't done it hard enough!...

The “lockdowns” in Democrat states look foolish. One policy will not fit all locales and can cause much economic damage. But the hysterical drama about masks and distancing is a little...funny. ;D

I was one who thought the virus was hyped. Then my friend’s brother visited. Turns out his apartment up North had a case, and he brought it to us.

Out of ten of us here, all in close proximity between three houses, five of us caught his friend’s Covid.

It was mild for three of us. One was hospitalized for a day to get fluids and meds, the other is pretty sick but not yet hospitalized.

I was sick for three days with nausea, fever, coughing, and I was extremely weak, literally where I could barely move from my bed to the chair.

I’ve had the flu before where I was much sicker, and pneumonia where I was much sicker.

I have co-morbidities that I was afraid would kill me if I got Covid, the primary one being that my lungs are scarred from asthma, pneumonia and chronic bronchitis, but I’m slowly getting better.

Needless to say, I now totally believe in the virulence of this virus, for it to strike basically 50% of our small group of three family households.

“I care that we lost the Whitehouse, the HOR and the Senate. Again.“

Well you had better get used to it. You cannot outvote an algorithm, the only thing you can do is vote so heavily that the numbers generated due to the algorithm just don’t make sense.

But we did that in Nov. The numbers themselves prove fraud, yet nothing was done. Voting now can be exercised, but it will not change the desired outcome.

What’s that old saying? “Never wage a war against someone who buys ink by the barrel”. In the end, he was probably beaten by a Chinese Virus and the enemedia working for the democrats. But he did call it a hoax. That was a blunder. Obama might have been able to recover from a blunder like that but I don’t think he would have made it.

All of Obama’s public missteps were covered over, whether it was the police acting stupidly, if he had a son (with Trayvon), and this gem from October 2020 (shortly before the election):

“I think that we’re going to have a larger challenge in figuring out what to do about this splintered media landscape. And I’ve said this before, but I can’t emphasize this enough, when you and I were growing up, you know, you had Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, you had John Chancellor. It wasn’t scintillating television, but whether you were a conservative or a liberal, you got your news from the same place, so you had some common baseline of facts, and now you don’t.”

We can’t afford to quarantine all store employees who’ve been exposed, or all of the stores would be closed. That includes employees who were exposed to family members who tested positive from other employment. Same with people who work in some of the other services. I’ve known of quite a few people who were sick but not tested. It would be logistically impractical to repeatedly test them all.

So employees are screened when entering their workplaces (temperatures, questions, etc.). They wear clean, fitted masks and try to keep a little distance from customers. It’s about all that they can feasibly do.

Thank you for sharing that. I have comorbidities too. I think it would kill me and/ or my wife. We’re both vaccinated now so... I think Covid is, basically, so contagious that everyone will get it if it is left unchecked. It isn’t the deadliest virus on earth but it is incredibly transmissible so it is going to reach every susceptible host in the country at some point. That’s why the numbers are so unbelievable. Imo. I think the vaccine can provide lasting immunity. Maybe 10 years or so.

Agreed on elections being more important. I didn’t go to restaurants or bars before the epidemic.

That sorta narrows down the options, doesn't it?

They are a different kind of culture than we are- naturally socially distanced. I have also recently read that it’s coming back around to them hard and heavy. Covid is dynamic and I still maintain that everyone will either get Covid or the Covid vaccine. You can no more avoid it than you can avoid getting a common cold or gastroenteritis. If you are an especially susceptible host, it will be worse for you.

The covid death count is a fraud, they count all manner of deaths as covid death just because the deceased tested positive for covid even though they died of cancer, heart attacks, accidents etc.

We poo poo covid hysteria because it IS poo poo.>> and yes remember the PCR test is bogus. If you bump the PCR cycle threshold to 60 you get 100% positive cases.

If we had a public health edifice that was worth anything, front line health care workers and public-facing store employees would be on Covid prophylaxis. The Federal public health agencies (FDA/NIH/CDC) have seemingly completely ignored cheap effective re-purposed therapeutics that could have significantly reduced deaths and transmission.

Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance
https://covid19criticalcare.com/
Key protocols from this group use Ivermectin.

COVID Care for Clinicians
https://www.evms.edu/covid-19/covid_care_for_clinicians/
Ditto this group.

India has been using HCQ and Ivermectin for many months as therapeutics and for prophylaxis. Their curves are quite impressive, scroll down to see them here.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/india/
Anyone able to interpret a basic graph will be impressed. Why is this not being talked about in Western media?

Also from India:
Ziverdo Kit Contains Zinc Acetate 50 mg, Doxycycline 100 mg & Ivermectin 12 mg Dispersible Tablets. It is currently indicated in the first line treatment for COVID-19 positive patients. Quadruple Therapy with Ivermectin is effective in treating COVID-19

That’s a link to an Indian online pharmacy selling that Covid treatment kit for under $2, just add vitamin D3.

I call this the “disinformation age”. It’s very disturbing, this era of fake news. Twitter is terrible about spreading foreign and domestic sourced misinformation, disinformation, and outright propaganda. I’m not totally convinced we’re any better informed than your average Chinese “citizen”.

That’s exactly right, and it has become impossible to converse with people fed only the official news. Nothing wrong with a difference of opinion, but when the facts themselves aren’t known (however one feels about them), there is no point.

Japan I believe offers early treatment with steroids and possibly HCQ
It does not tell symptomatic people to stay home in bed until they cannot breathe
Any comparison of death rates should include comparing treatment protocols in early stage disease
There are also other factors...like not labeling every pneumonia death as covid

I have been immersed in the Covid battle since day 1. I have to defer to my own experiences and the knowledge I have garnered from being on the front line. I know it ruffles some feathers and I don’t mean for that but I have strong opinions on this. I had strong opinions on Iraq too and I was kicked off of a few conservative forums for sharing them. But I was right. And that cost us too just like this did. We had it all. We lost it all. And getting it back may not be as easy as it was the last time and what we get back certainly won’t be what we lost.
