No shit? I thought I was being stopped.
I’ve been out and about all I want while taking precautions to protect me and my community.
I don’t like lockdowns either.
You’re trying too hard to act tough. You sound scared...or not smart enough to appreciate what’s happened. But I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re just scared and rely upon others to do the heavy lifting.

Wonder how many tests incorrectly ID's the China Virus since Feb 2020?

Yet again, Trump showed that he was not willing to diminish his own political capital for the greater good.
"I recommend that you take it, but I also believe in your freedoms 100%," Trump said, before adding, "because they don't trust the President, people aren't doing it."
Trump talking on both sides of the issues and blaming Biden for the reason people aren't getting vaccinated (which I'm not sure how that is, but I'm sure he has proof). And we call UNI88 a fence straddler.
Trump is the main importer of distrust. I'm not sure why anyone would believe him. He's off his rocker if he thinks Republicans and alt-righters like BDK aren't getting the vaccine (which Trump takes credit for getting to the market so quickly) b/c of Biden. I'm not sure of the logic there.

The earlier stuff was a reported story that Covid was found in Italian blood samples from September ‘19.
I read this story today regarding under-counts.

Klammy is certainly on the Left but I thought association with Antifa/BLM as well as progressives like AOC was the ctrl-left?

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Excuse the source but they have some interesting definitions
he 'ctrl-left' profess to deplore socially conservative politics and their propensity to discriminate against ethnic and sexual minorities, yet their purported respect for human life is clumsily contradicted by their alliances.
Although less likely to, the 'ctrl-left' still has its links to those who disregard human life with many advocates outspoken supporters of Fidel Castro.
Their very own ideological haughtiness has created a vacuum where the 'alt-right' has gone from strength to strength. The 'ctrl-left', instead, continues to call for no platforming, safe spaces, and general censorship of unpleasant views - unaware that this course of action only empowers them.
https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/chris- ... 20044.htmlthe rise of a strongly authoritarian, classically right-wing ideology. They espouse no-nonsense, no-sympathy and no-coherency.
It is a kind summation to refer to the 'alt-right' simply as a right-wing ideology. Scholars note that this group are not only on the right but are ideologically underpinned by some of its most callous tendencies; ethnic nationalism, homophobia, islamophobia and so on.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I have read as well that COVID was here earlier and much larger than believed. The study came to their conclusion by testing of the blood supply donations just like your statement.kalm wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:46 pmThe earlier stuff was a reported story that Covid was found in Italian blood samples from September ‘19.

It wouldn't surprise me that more have had COVID, as roughly 80% of the population had some form of immunity to COVID before the pandemic started, so you'll have a large pool that probably felt "something" but didn't get full on I'll. Although I'm sure they will use modeling and we've seen how poor the modeling has been from the start.

Sweet! So it will also disrupt supply chains, strain hospitals, create further lockdowns, and only kill 700,000 people here!

Not if we use the common sense approach we have done for hundreds of years, where we isolate those most susceptible.
Lock downs and masking have both taken a beating in the studies.

They have taken a beating and thankfully the death and infection rates will obviously be considerably less...especially in the more socially responsible and low population areas. But there will remain avoidable disruptions to everyday life, strains on the healthcare system, and deaths.
Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I'm not particularly worried about my health anymore thanks to the vaccines, but I've spoken to parents who are worried about their unvaccinated children. For example, my coworkers and I are mostly vaccinated, but a few have kids and until vaccines are available for them, they're scared they could bring the virus home to them. (We actually had this discussion yesterday during our weekly meeting).
So whatever, I'll wear a mask at work and it's not a big deal if it gives them a bit more comfort. It's just a mask.
But I am having a hard time sympathizing with all the recent stories of unvaccinated people who spread misinformation and brag about not being vaccinated getting the virus and dying. I try to realize how brainwashed they were, but it's a deep reach for the empathy.
Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Since the Delta variant is hitting children - we're a bit worried. We homeschooled last year and this year we are sending her to 1st Grade.

A childhood friend of MrsCCU refused to get the vaccine b/c she thought it was dangerous and there's a 99% chance that she'd survive if she got COVID. Her funeral is next week. Her husband, who is MAGA x2, just got his 1st shot and is requiring anyone who wants to attend to have had at least the 1st shot. It's wat too late for so many families.
For me the benefits of the vaccine far outweighed the risks of any complication from the vaccine (or any long lasting effect from surviving COVID). But - if you don't think it's right for you, then that's fine. Just don't be a dick to those that had.

One of my closest friend’s father is a denier who is now intubated after catching it in Branson. He’s back home at a hospital in Austin. It’s been sad hearing about his daily decline. It’s politics driven, with some members of the family Q followers. The wife had to secretly get vaccinated behind the father’s back.
My buddy had it last fall and has experienced months of long haulers symptoms with mental acuity.
It’s just sad.
