The Coronavirus thread

Tibs doesn't know a military grade psychological operations and communist attack when he sees one. In the carnie or pro wrestling business, these people are called "marks." In Communist theory, these people are "useful idiots." He thinks what he's watching is all above board as presented for public consumption.

He's a mark for articles like that.

You laugh, Fibs, but you obviously don't do much reading or in-depth research on communism. If I were you I'd start with "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky and go from there.

Or here's a synopsis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals
 
If masks are really worth a ****, which they are not, then why isn't EVERYTHING opened up with the requirement of wearing masks?

Schools, theaters, the Bahamas, mom & pop stores, sporting events...

It. Is. All. Bullshit.
 
The smug declarations of How Bad America Is Doing.

But he loves America (not enough to live here though apparently), and all of its American Patriots!

Michael Avenatti
Christine Blasey Ford
James Comey (when it was politically advantageous for him)
Mary L. Trump

Have you noticed all the Fox News personalities plugging them in unison? Watters was doing it Saturday night. Of course none of them wear the masks on air. I guess the news desk is kind of like protest zones -- apparently Covid-1984 doesn't work in those areas.

I mean, like somebody said in an old Western, "if yer gonna get shot for stealin' a goat, you might as well steal a horse."

I think 98% of it at least is tainted and Fake News. No need to nibble around the edges now.

Everything we're being fed is pretty suspect at this point. Hell, it was pretty suspect 20 years ago.

I agree that all of that should be open.

Masks aren't 100 percent effective. Nothing is. Viruses will find a way into some people regardless of what we do.

It's about slowing the spread.
 
We all know the flu is deadly. Why aren’t we wearing masks to slow the spread of the flu?

I’m in GA now. Drove from KS to GA. Along the way, we were in several different states. Not even the people who lived in those states could tell you if masks were mandated or not. Some people were outside with masks on. Some people (me included) didn’t have masks in at all. Nobody was denied entrance to anything and nobody was attacked by a Karen. If someone did go Karen on me,, I planned on claiming I was from out of state and didn’t know the requirements (truth). Either make masks mandatory nationwide or don’t make anyone wear them. This is ridiculous.
 
The whole point of the mask is that people can spread the virus before they become symptomatic. You may be shedding virus and not know it. If we all knew when we were contagious there would be no need for them.

Yes, it's your choice to possibly spread a virus you don't know you have to other people. I choose not to do that. Because it's really not a big deal. And yeah, I wash them every time or I use disposable ones in a pinch.

Not if you believe The Who last comments that asymptotic people are unlikely to spread (not that I believe that or anything I’m told lately). But let’s just say I am. Unless I’m expelling droplet via cough, sneeze or about to organism face we’re all good. If common expelling via normal conversation was a thing, we would know bc science right?


Edit. Ok that’s funny. Autocorrect The Who rock band. Yeah. Lol
 
Feel like we're going over and over old ground here. Y'all are going to do what you want. I'm not going to convince you. Maybe Trump will, today he said wearing a mask is patriotic. Day late and a dollar short.
 
After our second round of covid testing we had 2 positive results. One we think is a false positive and one is probably legit. Luckily it was a pretty isolated employee who basically had 0 resident contact just a little contact with most staff. So now everyone has to get retested 2 more times.
 
Here is my thing. Regardless of what side you are on. Pro lock down/mask or open me up and my choice, it doesn’t matter unless there is ZERO infected people on this planet. One person can make this explode again. One. Until folks realize this will not be eradicated (until Biden wins strangely lol), but rather this is or has the potential to be another annual virus that we must overcome.

There will be vaccination. Some will get it others will say **** that. The number of infected will go on just like other virus but your body will do what it’s supposed to. Those most at risk for virus infection and negative outcomes will have pass.

It’s only takes one. It only took one to start this.
 
Let me add. I’ve stated my profession and what I do. My states were the hardest hit originally. We are not seeing some massing flood of new cases, or substantially ill. We pick some folks up here and there from regular screening. No prob. They are back to work within 10-15 days.

My counterparts will be ****** next go around bc they didn’t have this. Folks didn’t get this. They didn’t recover. They didn’t get their body to respond. That is what we are seeing

Americans are being banned from the Bahamas to Europe. The Trump administration’s rejection of facts and science is deadly. We have become a global embarrassment.

At least you can still go there, Tibs.

Had to ID a body today that was Covid-positive. I forgot to put my mask on. I am SO not worried. Not had a dead person cough or sneeze on me yet.
 
Tibs, since you repeatedly say that Trump has done such a horrible job, I want to know what you would do differently, since you seem to have all the answers and it's all so obvious.

Oh and before you start, keep in mind that when Trump instituted the travel ban, every one of the Democrats you look up to so much not only said he was wrong to do it, but that he was in fact a racist bigot for doing it. Fauci and the other medical experts said he was wrong to do it as well. They think differently now, and have stated openly that he was correct and they weren't.

Oh, also keep in mind that all the medical professionals in government were telling the American people that masks did no good and DO NOT wear them, until they pulled a 180 weeks later.

Oh yeah, also keep in mind that Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer were.....at the beginning of a pandemic explosion.......openly encouraging the American people to attend highly populated street celebrations and parties in Chinatown and other places and to pay no attention to the "fear mongers" saying that it was dangerous.

With all that in mind, we'll wait for you to tell us what the right thing to do was and what Trump did that was wrong. No generalities and broad sweeping criticisms that don't have any substance other than to say Orange man bad. Specific policies are what you need to come up with if you want to make a believer out of me.

This.

Here is my position on this....

Fauci has lied to us, over and over.
Birx has.
The WHO did.
Our Government has.
The media does every damned day.

We've been told....

  • COVID can travel 6 feet in the air
  • COVID can travel up to 32 feet in the air
  • COVID can live on cardboard for up to 15 days
  • COVID can't live on cardboard at all
  • Don't wear a mask, it won't help
  • WEAR a mask or get fined, it's the only way to stop the spread
  • It's airborne
  • It's food-borne
  • It's NOT food-borne
  • It can be passed via farts (I haven't heard this one disproven)
  • People dying in motorcycle accidents are COVID-positive deaths
  • Wear gloves
  • Wait, don't wear gloves


This is a SMALL list. Given the never-ending list of lies, here's what I don't get...for all of you mask zealots...when did science become settled that a mask CAN prevent (possibly) the spread of COVID? Because I'll tell you this...all the science we've been fed like sheep, about 90% of it, has been debunked as bullshit.

Funny, despite all of us knowing they've waffled and lied 100x over, everyone now subscribes to the theory that wearing a mask provides safety when...we really don't even know that.

Like the gloves, like the cardboard, like the distance it can travel and how long it can live on inanimate surfaces...the mask theory is also just a theory.

Unless someone can show me a SCIENTIFIC study that shows a mask preventing the spread of COVID.

All of that said, I wear mine in public. I choose to, even though I have to or end up in the klink.
 
I'm tired of it. Tired of it being around. Everyone stuffed themselves in the house for months down here in florida. What did it accomplish? Absolutely nothing. It's going to run its course. The same goes for all of the super lockdown states. You could sit inside for the next 6 months and if just a few people have it, it will spread again or someone from out of area will bring it in. It's mutating and weakening.

Saddle up and ride! Put your little bandit make everyone feel better mask on and get on with life.

Or you can let it all collapse. In that case buy a lot of ammo.

Well before COVID we were taught to cover our mouth and nose when we sneeze or cough, and to wash our hands. Not that much of a leap. Really, it’s not.

As an American, I can’t travel to the Bahamas any more than you can. Would love to visit someday, though. But keep taking cheap shots at me, that’s all you seem interested in doing. Whatever floats your boat.
