That's retarded, there's no evidence whatsoever Covid-19 is dangerous to kids. In fact what little evidence we have suggests kids are basically immune to it.

I recently BTFO'd a visiting relative who pulled that shit. We were watching football and they made some comment about how the coaches were half-assing their masks. I was like "welcome to the real world. masks aren't practical in many professions. coaches have to yell to be heard." Cue outrage from the very peak of mount pompous jackass.
It quickly turned into a big argument and I debated it in good faith for a bit bringing up all the things discussed here. But finally I had enough with the appeals to emotion and dropped the fucking hammer.
"It's real hard to believe your moralizing bullshit when the only reason you are here is because you drove 200 miles to another state to get your hair done at your favorite hair salon."
20 years ago I would have three-way'd the shit out of this governor. Goddamn.Here in the great state of Governor Reynolds wrap has reminded every Iowan to please wear a mask be responsible wash your hands and the state will remains open for. it's up to each and everyone Iowan to keep your grandmas safe and the hospital's empty.
Your personal well being and health is your responsibility during a pandemic According to governor Kim Reynolds
This is literal communism.
Banks are suggesting taxes on non-participation in society to pay for welfare programs, 5% for those who work from home as they do not eat at restaurants as often and spend less on transportation.
People were joking with me about “nobody is sending police to your house on Thanksgiving” and I had to remind them that the concern is not cops patrolling random houses, it is neighbors calling the cops who then may enforce the insane punishments, whether it is a fine/ticket or jail time. They said “oh, that is true”! People do not consider the system of snitches this is enabling.I've been saying this for a while, but the worst thing about COVID is the way it's made being a sanctimonious moralizing cunt not only culturally acceptable, but applauded. It encourages people to stop reading, stop thinking, stop asking critical questions and just wag their finger at everyone in disgust.
These people ironically screech: "YOU MUST HAVE NO EMPATHY!!" at those who've lost businesses, livelihoods, and are struggling physically and mentally and are crying out for help. They are calling humans who do humans things "murderers" and "mass killers" who are "selfish and evil" without the faintest bit of self-awareness.
It's help cultivate a culture of blind mass panic complete with never-ending autistic safety protocols and completely arbitrary rules.
Give it time. It'll take a while, but it will implode. Sort of like how the SJWs are now eating their own.
Remember the 2020 mantra: Property can be replaced, lives cannot. Had to close your business, losing your home soon? Just be grateful you played a part in keeping grandma aliveWe cannot lose our empathy.
It is what makes us human.
Isn't this considered a crime under the CAREN Act in San Francisco? Sure would love one of these busybodies to be prosecuted under it.People were joking with me about “nobody is sending police to your house on Thanksgiving” and I had to remind them that the concern is not cops patrolling random houses, it is neighbors calling the cops who then may enforce the insane punishments, whether it is a fine/ticket or jail time.

I could be wrong, but I don't think HIPAA would prevent people from disclosing their COVID test results to an entertainment venue. If the venue asked their doctors and the latter disclosed the answer without proper consent, however, that could be a problem.How is that legal anyway? It sounds like a potential HIPAA violation because why do I need to tell a major corporation like Ticketmaster or the fucking NBA if I took the magic vaccine or not?
This is what US folks were told back in mid-March by various governors. Look how well that worked out. The citizenry will be a lot more skeptical this time around as more stay-home orders get implemented and contemplated.A hard lockdown for 6 weeks and no more virus
I can see the reasoning in keeping schools open, parents who work all day need their kids looked after and hiring a childminder 5 days a week is expensive. Parents who are working from home can still tend to their kids but not every job allows for that, construction workers can't build a house while sitting at home (unless they're playing with Lego), for example.
Making school attendance optional at the parents' discretion would be my ideal solution; the parents who are working at home can keep their kids at home doing online learning via Zoom or whatever and let parents who need to work leave 13-year-olds+ home unattended while they work for the day. The parents who have to work and can't afford childminding services or have young children can still drop their kids off at schools which would likely have a vastly-reduced student population, lowering the risk of transmission. Sadly the resources just aren't there, we don't have enough teachers to split it up like that.
Whether home schooling on one's own or part of a group, the key is to have the kids do age/level-appropriate work and not let the day turn into a free for all as is the case with a concept known as Unschooling (kids stay home and don't learn anything academic) that was discussed here on the 'Farms some time ago.People with school aged kids need to remember that homeschooling is a thing. Laws on it vary by state, but it's legal in all 50.
Now as much as I hate doing everything online, schools are hotbeds for sickness regardless of COVID.
I mentioned my ma works at a high school, the one where I went, and it's nasty on its best day. Just two years ago their was a flu outbreak where 60% of 7th-12th grade was absent (but they didn't close) and now for COVID they've just entered another 2 week closing period.
When I was in 7th grade, the flu hit schools very hard. Over half the students in grades 7 and 8 combined were out sick at the peak of it. With basketball season in full swing at the time, I'm also willing to bet that those students that played caught the flu from the shared water bottles that probably never got cleaned/sanitized between games. Because of the number of students out sick during the week, the teachers found it easier to maintain a running log of each day's homework assignments and give copies of it to parents as they came to school to see what work their kids were missing. I can only wonder how weird it was for those that didn't get sick and ended up in a sparse classrooms.ETA: You're right about the hotbed for sickness, there was a bug that hit my secondary school pretty hard, a few of my classes were half-empty so a couple of teachers put teaching on hold and played movies or let us dick around on the computers instead of teaching half a class and having to teach the same stuff again when the other half came back.
It may depend on state's fiscal years and how their budgets were for the prior year. In Michigan, for example, the budget year starting back on July 1, 2020 didn't have too many cuts. However, a warning was issued that without federal gibs, the budget for the year starting July 1, 2021 would need rather extreme cuts.The real fun happens in the spring when declining task revenues and enrollments result in public servants and academics being laid off.
Suddenly it will be a "crisis"
I'm convinced Michigan's uptick is in part because Whitmer told people they didn't need masks to vote. Of course, I'm willing to bet anyone asking if unmasked in-person voters are a reason will be screeched at and not given a straight answer.I hate how a "spike in cases" always keeps coronapanic going.
Any end of this insanity in sight yet?
Yeah, it's hard to take restrictions credibly when the same governors demanding and imposing them are turning a blind eye and people are being discouraged from asking COVID patients if they were out protesting or a part of large groups where people took few or no precautions.You want to know what changed my mind? The fact that people could mass gather in the streets to protest alleged police brutality and it was not only accepted, but embraced by every governmental figure and media outlet.
if we can't blame unmasked protestors or unmasked voters, we have to find aI've been seeing them try to blame it on Halloween. Like, really? Halloween.
With banks conveniently deemed essential and most bank/teller work unable to be performed at home, it's easy for them to propose such a ridiculous tax. Such a tax, if passed, would likely discourage working home whenever possible and potentially put more workers at risk for contracting COVID from the workplace. Banks also seem to overlook the fact that people working from home still need hand sanitizer, paper products, and other items whose price jumped significantly during the hording period of the stay at home lock-downs.Banks are suggesting taxes on non-participation in society to pay for welfare programs, 5% for those who work from home as they do not eat at restaurants as often and spend less on transportation.
Now it just needs to finish off Jon Venables.The virus is good for some things, it finished off serial killer the Yorkshire Ripper
“I was talking with my U.K. colleagues who are saying the U.K. is similar to where we are now, because each of our countries have that independent spirit,” Fauci said while speaking at Washington National Cathedral. “I can understand that, but now is the time to do what you’re told.”

Yes dear, it's all the Kung Flu's fault. I'm sure there are no other outside factors that are making this worse for you than for others.
This is who we've shut down entire economies and had our lives upended for in order to protect.
This is what I mean about it being a totem. Masks have been imbued with unnatural powers to ward off evil, yet in every-day settings, they're about as useful as trying to keep away black death miasmas by stuffing dried flowers in a scarf around your face.My health insurance company sent me a thin-ass cotton mask in the mail with their logo stamped on it, with some stupid card telling me how to stay healthy and stuff, at the bottom in tiny print it basically says, "this mask doesn't do shit"

The end will come when a critical mass of angry people decide to stop even pretending to obey the rules, and/or the media class get upset.
When this shit started, I was scared shitless. The stuff coming out of China? The people collapsing in the streets? That's what I thought we were going to get here when this eventually came.
Then it ended up coming. I was originally in support of the lockdowns (temporarily) until people could figure out what was going on. Now they are simply killing off any business that's not a major corporation or backed by big money. They are not only killing jobs, they are technically killing off lives. The virus isn't as severe as I was fearing (although still deadly to those that have complications. It seems to be the thing that pushes them over the edge), but the economic wave is going to be even worse.

So why the hell were we told to socially distance and not crowd in public for months on end? Why am I seeing people celebrating in large crowds in major cities across America for Biden's election win? Isn't this going to "propagate the spread", as we were told? Or is the virus political as well?
People wonder why case numbers are rising over the past week or so... I wonder why.
This is definitely the most tiresome headline. Sometimes it does say that testing has increased, or it can be cross referenced but to have it as THE headline means absolutely fuck all and is just there to keep the panic and stress going. I know people who are now obsessed with the daily case numbers and such is their desperation to be counted as being with covid they start talking about getting tested whenever they sneeze.
I am waiting to hear women say, "i am with covid" or "jag är covid" as they would when being happy and fatheaded of being pregnant. Fucking phrases like 'big reset' and 'follow the science' are cropping up in conversation, more often, even about things that are absolutely not about the virus. I haven't heard or seen 'build back better' much but there is still time. Maybe it just sounds too fucking stupid and not enough people can associate with building anything with their own hands, these days.
Part of me thinks they are pathetic and part of me is really sad because a good number of them, before the constant barrage of poor journalism/calculated propaganda, were not as they are now. It is frightening to see people change so bloody much. Sometimes i think I would deal better with the loss, if they died in car crash, than have to watch how they are now. I am officially scared of one of them, such is the change.
I dunno; some might come back, but the 'long covid' I can imagine happening, to alot of people, is not any actual, long term, physical ailments , but severe anxiety disorders and previiusly functional and productive people becoming dysfunctional and un-productive. That could be the real cost of all this and hard to measure and quantify.
I guess it van be turned around but in my experience it takes way less time to break someone than it does to un-break them and get them back on track.
As usual, he's full of shit. I'm convinced the massive spike is people catching the flu, then getting COVID tested and coming up positive because amplification. Unless COVID has Flu destroying powers, it's the only thing I can come up with as to how there's no Flu in Flu season. Also, the dumbass wants to continue to tank state tax receipts when they're going to have to be costly repairs to the Brent Spence Bridge down here in Cincy. Some dumbasses had a nasty enough wreck on it that they might have to keep the main bridge from Ohio into Kentucky shut down for possibly weeks. 275 is an absolute shit show right now.
At this point, I honestly think the dumb fuck had no plan beyond masks and now that they haven't done anything he's just lashing the fuck out. I mean, masks don't work against the Flu.
Her way of washing her hands of any responsibility instead of taking an active approach it's everybodys personal responsibility to handle the pandemic. Because there's little they can do it's community widespread even if they lock down the state it's not going to stop itDid people not wash their hands before this? The lack of soap in the stores after the media told everyone to panic was infuriating, but that's because my household tends to use quite a bit of the stuff.
