Coronavirus Epidemic, Part 2

[Lost Spurs]

I just about lost it on my father in law over the rona. Keeping in mind that he is 68 now and has always been pro big pharma. He was a pharmaceutical rep for nearly 20 years and knows many of DR's. He has always taken the flu shot. Just yesterday he was saying that as soon as the rona vaccine is available he will take it. I can understand being in a high risk bracket due to age and creeping health issues.

With all that being said, his new found justification scrambled my brain. He was going on talking about his DR friend telling him that the hospital is so full of cases that they are turning people away. That there was not an available hospital bed within 200 miles.

After my brain unscrambled I prosed a question he couldn't answer. He lives in Wisconsin across the river from Minnesota. Look at a map of the USA and find lake superior (furthest west grate lake, south west tip. City of Duluth). I asked him how it is not a national story that you could go 200 miles north and be well into Canada, 200 miles west is nearly Fargo ND, 200 miles south puts you past Minneapolis / St Paul and near into iowa. Not one open bed?.....

Let me finish with this; The rona is real. People have died with and from it. I am also a free man. I will not live in fear because I am told to. I will not bankrupt my family and starve my children. My kids will play outside in groups and eat dirt. I will not comply. Oh, one last thing, if you are a liberal and you are ok with the idea of abortion because "my body my choice" **** you and your mask.

(Sorry for the language Ben)

This is very true. We have become a world where to too many people death is not acceptable. Where "not one more death" is the only thing that matters. Well, unless it furthers a progressive cause, then it's ok.
Much like the idea that climate change may not be a man made thing, the idea that man is mortal is not to be tolerated.

is it a conspiracy theory if it's talked about out in the open

The second definition of conspiracy is "to act in harmony toward a common end."

So yeah it's still a conspiracy even if it's not planned in secret. The conspirators don't even need to have direct communication.

Lots of herd animals out there just moving along with the rest of the herd.

Even parts of Illinois are starting to disregard their state's orders.

In my 39yrs... the one topic that nobody talks about is death. I find it profound. I don't understand why its not openly discussed.

I don't "want to" die, but I am ready whenever I am called home.
Being ready for death and not fearing it let's you live freely, not foolishly.

Yes sir! Nobody wants to die. But... nobody is going to stop it either.

The time is now. Strive to live in the present is my conclusion on it.

Context is everything. There are times when the language is not only permissible but mandatory if you're to communicate your meaning adequately. There have been such times previously in this thread.

I certainly hope so: I cringe every time I see another state or county moving backwards into lockdowns and curfews. Latest is Los Angeles County that has enacted a non-essential business curfew. Most likely to pave the way for Newsom's state wide curfew he has been threatening.

Abbott has not been to successful in the recent past resisting the media and the Left; let's hope his desire to run for President makes him position himself as a "stand out" governor who does not cave into pressure.

That sorry pos was the one who shut Texas down just like the democrat governors. His political career is caca to me.

Abbot doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell at the presidency.

What is the status of bars and restaurants here in TX? Are they 100% open, or does Abbott still have them at a %? "I'm allowing bars/restaurants to operate at 1% capacity because of the higher numbers, but, read my lips, Texas will not be locking down again!"

Is he allowing city and county A-holes to dictate what can be done in their jurisdictions?

 

[Coop45]

If he is stupid enough to do another lockdown there will be another Texas revolution. A quiet one this time just ignoring his orders.

 

[seeker_two]

Abbott knows that, if he calls for another lockdown, he'll have more "guests" for Thanksgiving at the Governor's Mansion than he knows what to do with.....

.....also, after the Shelly Luther Incident, no one has been arrested or fined for violating "lockdown", to my knowledge. Don't want to create any more celebrity martyrs....

Judge Napolitano’s take on the unconstitutional shutdowns.

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano: Coronavirus shutdowns by governors are unconstitutional, illegal and immoral

Governors claiming they want to rid the land of the COVID-19 have interfered with freedoms without due process that are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. By doing that, they have set themselves up for criminal prosecutions when normalcy returns.
