"Three big studies dim hopes that hydroxychloroquine can treat or prevent COVID-19 By Kai KupferschmidtJun. 9, 2020 , 5:15 PM" https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/06/three-big-studies-dim-hopes-hydroxychloroquine-can-treat-or-prevent-covid-19?fbclid=IwAR2DXJ7NGx-JgVEloXg67Q3p4_Fhlq8jpSxW_UUg5YJ8vIcPAg036pnG0Wg

For over two months we were told we cannot go to work, church, funerals, weddings, vacations, or sporting events. We are murderers if we don't wear masks. Now the same Democrats who told us this, join in mass protests side by side. So do you believe that: A Covid19 threat was non existent or so exaggerated it was essentially a hoax. B. Was an enormous threat but has somehow gone away. C. Is still a huge danger.

Just wondering...

... And I bet Dem Governor Walz will make sure to contract trace all of them; you just watch! Dems even want to trace these criminals, right, much less track them, right? /sarcasm. Dems and the MSM throw a fit anytime there is a peaceful protest and are sure to complain if someone isn't wearing a mask and if they aren't standing 6 ft. apart. If you don't follow those rules, you might get thrown in jail as they've made lots of room letting the real criminals out. We truly are living in Clown World.

Even if one has been infected with the virus, it should show you how limited masks are in protecting yourself.

Have you noticed We have a new religion that has somehow infiltrated the world. It came overnight and crept into the populace. It was spread far and wide by the disciples in the media/politics and drumbeat into the minds worldwide by a barrage of doom reporting. That new religion is Covidism and its symbol is not a cross but a mask. That symbol is now being used to force those nonbelievers into submission in every venue. The symbol of Covidism has become an instrument of power for those both in power and those who wish to attain a level of...

I asked this question on a thread, but I like to pose it to FR as a whole: WHY with the crowded sleeping next to one another, often sharing food no mask, no social distancing, washing hands is to laugh there is little more than third world sanitary conditions and facilities in these camps. There is rampant drug and alcohol abuse. There is certainly no proper diet, most are in general poor health already. In fact they are living in the exact opposite conditions of those we are being told are required to control the spread of the virus. So...

So right now, our governors and mayors in my state, Hawaii have extended the lockdown twice. Originally, the lockdown was supposed to end on April 30, then extended to May 31, and now extended to June 30. Even though businesses are slowly opening in my state as months go by, some businesses will never come back, because of the government's orders or the business is doomed even before the lockdown happens. Schools are closed right now which means less "learning" time (if you know what I mean) for kids. Now, from my perspective, I believed that people in Hawaii in...

A conservative friend said something the other day that I can't get off my mind: "The DC establishment, the media, the 'smart people', would rather the country never end the shut-down and never open again." He knew he was using hyperbole, but he meant it a hair's breadth from literal. I've been unsettled and unsure of what I believe regarding the shut-down. But I'm not unsettled about what my friend said. I believe he's right. I think freepers, conservatives in general, are using risk/reward analysis as the basis for their/our conclusions. But no one else is. This loud mass of...

Yuba and Sutter counties begin to reopen Yuba and Sutter counties’ joint chief health officer issued new coronavirus directives on Friday that will allow some businesses to reopen in the rural areas north of Sacramento. The orders, which will take effect Monday, mean that a number of businesses, including restaurants, can reopen, although county residents must still wear face coverings in public to reduce the possibility of transmission. The businesses — which include restaurants, retail outlets, shopping malls, construction, real estate, agriculture, gyms, hair and nail salons, barbershops, spas, massage therapy centers and tattoo parlors — have been determined to...

Asking this because I want to take my family to Florida (Palm Beach County)soon but have not heard anything about the *quarantine*, even though Florida plans to open business on Monday 5/11 and the beaches (Palm Beach County) on 5/18

How do I plan or get in touch with others to protest in Oregon? Thank you for any tips and leads.

A Spring Hill nail salon reopened on Friday 1 May after Gov. DeSantis' "Safer At Home" order expired with no substantive renewal put in its place. The owner of the salon was not taking walk-ins and only took appointments from known customers with the request that they wear masks when coming in. The salon took precautions similar to what you'd see at grocery stores, WalMart, Target, Home Depot, etc.: acrylic "shields" at all of the manicure stations, full wipe down and thorough cleaning of pedicure stations, workers wore masks at all times, and patrons were kept at distance from one...

What should the U.S. Citizens and/or U.S. Government do if the facts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is proven to be released from China by accident or on purpose?

Most of us have been in lockdown for about six weeks. The objective was to flatten the curve and reduce the total number of victims of COVID-19. Well, the curve has been flattened indeed, but how is it six-weeks later there are 25,375 new cases in a single day? With all the laws and policies implemented to knock out this virus, I expected we’d be on the last leg of the downward curve by now. But, instead of a peak and decline, we’ve had three peaks and shallow valleys between them. If people are staying at home, practicing social distancing,...

I believe the evidence suggests that COVID-19 was a very early stage in the development of a chilling new bioweapon known as a targeted pathogen. The concept is to genetically modify a highly-contagious virus so that it is largely asymptomatic for 99.999% of the population, but is highly lethal to individuals that match the specifically encoded genetic target map. As long as you are able to obtain a genetic sample of your target, you can launch an attack against him by releasing a tiny sample of the virus into an urban population anywhere in the world, and within a few...

I think he would have nationalized everything, total lockdown and rationing of food and gasoline.

President Trump successfully flattened the curve by calling a national emergency in March. The initial crisis has ended. Our medical system is well-stocked and is prepared to treat COVID-19 patients. So America should be ready to go, right? However, there is a new crisis caused by Governors being too "cautious" and not willing to reopen the economy. Perhaps they would rather to attempt to prevent President Trump's reelection by sabotaging our economy. The Deep State insiders are enabling them. Lamestream media is covering the actions of the Deep State. So what should President Trump do to rejuvenate our economy? Our...

I was just listening to Lou Dobbs on Fox Business News with my wife, and apparently the US has been allowing international air travel from *non-citizens* for quite some time. Including from China. I didn't stick around for the rest of the details, figuring I would toss something at the TV.

I'm not sure if anyone here has started a list yet of the stupidest and craziest and non-sensical lockdown rules and edicts handed down by the tyrannical despots over the past 3 months or more; but I'd like to start one. And if you know, give the state or city which mandated the rule. Thanks. I will start it off with No Singing in Churches in Minnesota mandated by governor Walz. Only to be bettered by his own mayor in Minneapolis where everyone 2 and older must wear a mask. One other thing I can't understand is when President Trump...
