The Coronavirus thread

Yeah, painting any important profession like that (cops say hello) with such a broad brush isn't right.

Isn't the right thing to do, or is incorrect?

I have answers to both questions.

Hey Indy, you probably heard about this already but good news for you:

I did. Thanks. Our idiot Gov still has a mask mandate though.

Mask mandate still in effect, bars must only allow seated patrons, social distancing must be maintained in all establishments...so no it is not
Even close to full capacity. Basically the same situation we were in already, but calls it phase 5 instead of 4.5. Total ******* joke. I hope all of the bars in Indy that are suing the city win the suit and bankrupt that **** hole, way to go mayor Hogshit.
 
I don't wear one unless the place I really want to go into ,, has a mandate. (the liquor store).

Otherwise im walking about looking at everyone and I wonder if they can detect my pity. I understand elderly being cautious or people with conditions...
 
It's incredible how tens of thousands of these 'freedom fighters' all across the country are immune to this deadly disease that has so many other people on lockdown for their 'safety'.

I'll be waiting to see the CNN headline criticizing them for not social distancing, similar to the one re: the White House where they brokered an historic peace deal and just forgot to mention that part.

Wore my Trump 2020 mask into Walmart today and got two compliments, one from an employee.
 
Fact:
There will not be an uptick in Rona counts after the riots in Litville tonite.

That's absolutely maddening. Criminal. And I'd really like to see specifics on severe comorbidities in the 70+ age group. And are those percentages taking into account 60 day rules, false positives etc.

Study out of Belgium. Prepare to be madder.

We, Belgian doctors and health professionals, wish to express our serious concern about the evolution of the situation in the recent months surrounding the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We call on politicians to be independently and critically informed in the decision-making process and in the compulsory implementation of corona-measures. We ask for an open debate, where all experts are represented without any form of censorship. After the initial panic surrounding covid-19, the objective facts now show a completely different picture – there is no medical justification for any emergency policy anymore......................................
 
We had our first 2 positive student cases at the HS this Monday. 2 Freshmen on the Freshman football team. They removed ALL players- freshmen, JV, and Varsity from class and had them go to the gym. Also all coaches and managers. They also took 300 kids out of class and sent them home. After all the dust settled and all the contact tracing was done, it was narrowed down to 2 positive cases and 94 close contact- with the majority of them being the freshman football team.

Here’s the kicker- when all of this started, the local paper knew of it immediately and posted online. Of course, helicopter parents were panicking.and started flooding the school with calls and all. Turns out the leaked of the false story was the journalism teacher’s son. No discipline was taken on either the teacher or the son!!
 
Remember when the Navy hospital ships pulled out of NYC and LA? That's when this whole thing should have stopped. The whole mask thing is fn ridiculous and why Frauci initially didn't advocate for them until someone got their hooks into him to explain how they can be used to help slow the economic recovery. The non-N95 masks aren't doing **** except hide bad dental hygiene. Viruses are so small they can penetrate them like the Bus could run through the Brahans "defense". If they were effective you'd see virologists working with just a plain cloth mask. We are doing nothing more than placating idiots by wearing the damn things. Since many don't want to wear one, they stay home and further slow the spread of a recovering economy which is the point of the whole thing perpetuated by democrat governors, mayors, and the media.

If Hillary was in office I guarandamntee you we wouldn't have killed the economy and be walking around in masks. We'd be living with catching the flu, feeling like **** for a few days and then going back to work like we've done since viruses and humans have been around. That said, as much as this year has sucked, I'm still glad she's not at the helm. Any party that would go to such lengths as to what they are doing to take down this country doesn't deserve to be within a thousand miles from a position of power.

If this doesn't infuriate you........(watch the video)

* Note that neither cop had a mask on........................

Woman arrested, tased for not wearing mask at middle school football game

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oMIhuCVGgIw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A woman at a grade-school football game in Ohio on Wednesday was reportedly tasered and arrested by a police officer for not wearing a face mask in the stands.

The woman was sitting in the bleachers with her mother when she got into an altercation with the cop about mask-wearing at a middle school in the town of Logan, The Marietta Times reported.

Video of the incident, which was posted to YouTube, shows the woman resisting as the officer struggled to handcuff her for nearly two minutes before he deployed his taser.

The woman, identified in the report as Alecia Kitts, repeatedly tells the officer to “get off of me,” the video shows.

“You’re not arresting me for nothing, I ain’t doing nothing wrong,” she yells after the officer ordered her to place her hands behind her back.

Once the officer tasered Kitts, she fell to a lower tier of the bleachers, according to the footage.

The use of force shocked others watching the game.

“Tasing this lady over not wearing a damn mask,” a witness could be heard saying.

As the woman is finally hauled away, her mother pleads with the cop: “Come on, it’s just a mask!”

Kitts, who appeared to have an American-flag themed mask in her back shorts pocket, was rooting for the visiting team from Marietta City Schools at the time.

The Logan Police Department told The Marietta Times the incident is under investigation.

Logan Athletic Director, Theresa Schultheiss, told the newspaper that Kitts and her mother were the only two in a crowd of 300 fans who were “having issues” complying with the state’s mask requirement.

“This rule has been in effect since we were told we could play,” said Schultheiss.

“Everyone that came through ticketing tonight was reminded, we had regular announcements over the PA reminding you that mouths and noses needed to be covered and we had signs at the bathrooms.”

After 911, I realized that an American citizen has no Constitutional rights upon entering the domestic or international aviation system.

I think one can add the hospital/Medical-Industrial-Complex and government schools to the list as well in wake of 2020.

Pretty much, the only place we have any semblance of liberties is in our homes at #AloneTogether as they have designed this psyop.

Our school board voted a couple of days ago to send K-5 kids back to school...5 days a week, for half days!

The whole idea of hybrid education was to send kids back in split groups to allow for social distancing and easier contact tracing...what the **** is the purpose of sending them all back together for half days? I guess the virus is only infectious in the afternoon, not the morning? Sick of hearing "we're following the science" then passing rules that have absolutely nothing the **** to do with science. This is all about "we're only going to give you little bits of what you want. Never all of it."

Would too cataclysmic a change I suppose, but if parents were able to fulfill their God-given responsibility to educate their young vs the State doing it (compulsory public education was a plank of the Communist Manifesto), the world would eventually become a more informed, safer, and saner place.

In other words, if more people were able to embrace smaller, collective, private cells of learning like the country's early days. Unfortunately, much of the populace is too dumbed down to educate their young.

Hybrid is 2 days in person, 3 online. One group goes Monday and Tuesday and has Thursday and Friday off. The other group has Monday thru Wednesday off and goes to school Thursday and Friday. . One day a week the school is closed for cleaning. THAT is hybrid. Not 1/2 days 5 days a week!! In our district, Wednesday is designated cleaning day.

We haven’t gone hybrid though. We are still in person for all grades with a virtual option for the first 9 weeks.
