The Coronavirus thread

[CharlesDavenport]

PA now ordering nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients similar to the disaster in NY. The transgender Secretary of Health Rachel Levine then took her mother out of a nursing home and moved her to a hotel. The rules are for you peons, not your aristocracy.

Why aren’t they charged with negligent homicide for the old people who will now die as a result of their order?

******* with people's parents? That is inviting a violent revolt.

Here is a discussion with Elftard

Lol, I might just make one little revision and at the bottom, put "Hi, I'm Delores" or "Hola, soy Consuelo" or something of that nature.

Is it true that two of the plants that manufacture the Polio vaccine that seems to be reasonably effective against the "Rona both burned down at the same time... despite the fact that they are in 2 different countries?

Seriously. Is that true?

 

[Steelr4evr]

Florida and Georgia should be about ready to explode with new cases if the models and media are to believed. It will be enlightening in the next week or so to observe what happens there.

For the sake of our country let's hope it's a big fizzle. So tired of this virus being a political ping pong game.

That should have happened here months ago. I can tell you with absolute certainty that during this period,the whole social distance thing wasn't followed to a great degree. The shut **** down. The place I've been working at may have 40-50 people in close proximity working daily...nothing.


If it blows up here it's because someone brought it and sprayed it around. The 3 big counties here have done nothing as far as blowing up in months. Duval has the most with around 1200,but clay 300,and St.Johns barely made it about 200 cases. It was at 190 6 weeks ago.


Oh I know the media want this so badly to go bad opening up, orange man bad..must win election at all costs. I truly despise what the press has become.

 

[Steelr4evr]

Yes- Most males have two testicles. From your post I gather you were apparently shortchanged. I could be wrong...

Go **** yourself shitbag.

Speaking of communism, I went into a local store today and found this bullshit:

They're not required by law, and you posting that is extremely irresponsible. ******* Commiefornia.

so 48.7% of RonaDeaths in New York City (largest city in state hit hardest) are via the age group 75 and over. 7,475 Confirmed deaths of Rona as of 5/14.
https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/dow...-deaths-confirmed-probable-daily-05142020.pdf

As of 2017, there were a total of 30,005 deaths via the same age group of 75+.
https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/vital_statistics/2017/table32a.htm

If we take the total number of RonaDeaths and extrapolate that over a year, even pushing the numbers in favor of Rona, we get 19,933 deaths without any further spikes or dips.

In the "other" field of 7,672 deaths in the age range of 75+ (see second link). This is 639 deaths per month of "other".
Right now there is an average of 1,661 RonaDeaths per month.

So there will either be 19,933 more deaths for "other" (give or take a few hundred since the most recent data is from 2017) or there will be another category specific to Rona to include these deaths.

It will be interesting to see how the NYC number-crunchers categorize this and how the numbers for other causes of deaths are affected as a direct result.

Holy **** that's stupid. And they're outside! I went to a restaurant Tuesday night for the first time in two months. Social distancing inside of a restaurant does not work and it does not make any sense at all. Everyone is in the same room. This whole virus hoax is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[CharlesDavenport]

If restaurants will permanently get out of the practice of seating people next to each other when there are plenty of open areas available, that will be one good thing.

'Contact Tracing' Jobs Create Terrifying Army of Karens

In my worst dystopian nightmares, I could not have imagined a scenario where the American government would intentionally bankrupt the populace and then offer them $25 an hour to snitch on their neighbors in order to incarcerate them, and yet, here we are. Just in from CBS News is this horrific proposal for contact tracing jobs.

As U.S. unemployment soars to historic levels, the hottest job of the year could be a lifesaver: contact tracing. Containing the coronavirus as the economy gradually reopens has created an urgent need for hundreds of thousands of people trained to identify infected individuals and track down anyone and everyone they could have exposed to the virus.

In the absence of a federal plan, some city and state health departments are already seeking to fill thousands of these positions. Experts estimate that between 100,000 and 300,000 contact tracers — who can earn up to $65,000 per year — will be needed nationwide based on state populations and projected COVID-19 infection rates.

“I do think that it’s a fantastic job for people who have been furloughed, and it’s something that people can be trained to do,” said Roger Shapiro, a professor of medicine at the Harvard School of Public Health. “It takes some training, but it’s not impossible to train almost anybody with reasonable social skills, who can work off a script, begin a conversation with people, convey a few key messages and collect data,” he said.

But what is contact tracing? This is the new go-to solution that our betters have come up with to fight the Chinese Wuflu that will erase all semblance of privacy for Americans. They want to know where you’ve shopped, eaten, driven, who you’ve talked to, and who they have talked to. In order to do this, you will install an app on your phone that tracks you and you will give up all of your information ‘voluntarily’ to a government agent who is assigned to spy on you or you will be incarcerated against your will.

If you want to know what this looks like in real life, just check out South Korea and the idiots who think this is fine and dandy. Read the whole thread. This is what is in store for Americans if people don’t wake the hell up and say NO.

If you think I’m exaggerating about being incarcerated against your will, check out what Cuomo did in New York before this pandemic even started. He gave himself the authority to incarcerate anyone with any infectious disease for as long as he deems necessary. Then he did it to at least two people in New York, one of whom never tested positive for coronavirus. The man refused to self-quarantine because he had a cold and ended up in the county jail without a hearing or a lawyer.

Rochester City News reports Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies placed the individual in isolation at a Brighton, N.Y., jail after a civil order was imposed by the Monroe County Department of Public Health. The unnamed person was reportedly displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19 but refused testing and ignored an order to isolate themselves Thursday.

“The Monroe County Public Health Department has determined the individual’s non-compliance with a health order of isolation endangers safety, health, and well-being of citizens in Monroe County,” the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “The individual was given multiple opportunities to comply with the Health Department order.”

According to WHAM, the person was taken by specially-trained deputies to Strong Memorial Hospital for evaluation, and then moved to a pre-planned quarantine location at the Sheriff’s Office Brighton Facility on Friday. Other inmates at the Brighton jail were moved to a secure area at the Monroe County Jail, where no cases of COVID-19 have been reported.

“You know, I’ve been a police officer for almost 35 years. I’ve never even dreamed about doing something like this,” Sheriff Todd Baxter told the TV station.

This is what contact tracing will bring to your life — illegal surveillance, arrest, and incarceration without due process. And yet, the government has found a way to make this job sound attractive by wiping out vast means of supporting oneself by deeming most jobs “non-essential.” But make no mistake, the end result will turn neighbor against neighbor and build an army of Karens into brownshirts for the state. If you think the Karens are bad at the park and on social media now, wait until they are given the power of the state and a fat paycheck to ruin your life for not obeying the crown’s edicts. Is any threat worth giving up your freedom like this?

Here are some of the responses to these new jobs that I found on Facebook.

Newsom wanted everyone unemployed so he could get people desperate enough to do his dirty work. When the economy was good he’d never be able to get 20k people to sign up for this. He’s absolutely disgusting.

The people that would do this are the same people who would jump on the chance for a CI number to lessen the heat on their own ***. Pathetic.

Become a TRAITOR!!!!!

The brownshirts reassemble.

They will be just as abusive and power-hungry like filthy social workers.

Does anyone believe that once the threat of this virus is over the databases they built on you and yours will ever go away? We are spiraling headfirst at 400 miles per hour into a Chinese government tracking system that we will not get out of. Ever. Stop this madness now.

Went to Costco yesterday. Had to wear a mask- which they provided at the door of you didn’t have one. I appreciate that. Anyway- saw the DUMBEST sign in there. It was in the jewelry department.

Sign Read:
We are unable to show jewelry at this time. If there is a piece you want to purchase, take a picture of it and show it to the cashier upon your check out. They will get it for you.

Today is my boob smash appt. I got a call yesterday saying I had to wear a mask!! I’m like...it’s my damn boobs! It’s already hard enough to breathe without the mask on as you contort your body into positions no human should do while having your girls smashed between two pieces of metal. Let’s add a mask to the mix to really torture you!!

Make the madness stop. Now.

They can do away with booth seating all together as far as I am concerned. They are uncomfortable, you cannot move your seat up or back, and there is nothing worse than feeling your seat move every time the person on the other side of the booth moves.

I’m not a fan of the extra high tables and the seating around them. My feet dangle and there’s nowhere to put them. I feel extra short. Booths don’t bother me as long as nobody is behind me. It’s creepy having someone directly behind me, but I’d rather sit in a booth than at a high table.

Let's just get the war out of the way now. Why wait. I do believe a great many in this country do not appreciate liberty and freedom. They'll gladly give it up for some false safety.

It's a dangerous business leaving your house each day. So many things are just unsafe. Politicians far away in Washington know what is safe and good for their flock. They're gifted with superior wisdom from god the moment they take office.


All kidding aside. It's not a joke anymore. This is some pretty serious **** and I'm not talking about the Chinese lab virus. What's even worse is the democrat party is just giddy at this symphony of destruction.


That constitutional convention is going to get a big boost from all of this.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

Well...I wore my mask to the imaging place for the mammo. Josh was with me for moral support . He had a mask as well. He was NOT allowed to wait in the waiting room! He had to go in the car and sit. Like really? Exactly WHAT good does that do? He’s not sick. He had a mask on. If the masks are for protection, what good is it to have one if you can’t do anything with it on??

Many of you know I (owned) a brewery. It burned down in late January. The insurance crap is a nightmare. Anyway, I saw a livestream from another brewery owner in Sheridan Wyoming yesterday.

She was forced to close down for 2 months. There hasn't been a new case in her country for 2 months, and there has never been a hospitalization, let alone a death. However, as they began reopening, the city presented everyone with 21 "mandates" that they had to meet in order to reopen. She said she met 20 of them, but she did not force her employees to wear masks as hippa laws dictate that an employer cannot force employees to wear masks or question them as to why they don't want to wear a mask. (admittedly, nobody is going to sue or get her in trouble over "over-riding" this hippa rule, but ultimately she's saying it is essentially illegal for her to force her employees to wear masks and that's a REAL law.)

Anyway, She'd been open a couple days and it seems a "Karen" reported the brewery to the local establishment. Since this woman has made a few "This is bullshit" posts (Keep in mind, her business and her entire livelihood was shut down for 2 months and believe me, brewery margins are tight as ****.) So yesterday the PoPo showed up and served her papers saying that if she and her staff weren't in compliance by Friday they would shut her down AND revoke her license.

They (ironically) served her the papers without wearing masks or gloves and told her she must comply. She asked why THEY weren't wearing masks and she was told "Police are exempt." She also asked them when Congress or even the state had written these mandates in to "law". She was told "Don't make this hard."

Now, I can see if the city wants to make her close for a while in order to make a point, but when they threaten to revoke her license, that's some serious bullshit. That literally puts her permanently out of business. If her license is revoked it will take a minimum of 3 months and more likely 6 months to get a new license and there is no way in hell she can survive being closed for an additional 3 to 6 months.

She further goes on to state that the real reason she's pissed is that the police are targeting a few businesses to make examples of them. They didn't deliver these papers to ALL the businesses that are failing to meet all the mandates, just a couple. Anyway, this whole thing is just about gone to the point of being full-on bullshit.
