Covid 2023

Exactly. "We don't live our lives in fear" exclaims the group who needs to conceal carry to the supermarket and can't stop ranting about Antifa.

jeb has no idea what irony means. That's just normal speak to him.

The Right are all bed wetters. They need their guns and their Sky Daddy because they can't stand on their own, and they still remember being beaten, or reamed, by their drunk fathers.

I would feel bad for their PTSD but their panic, like that of animals on a small craft, endangers us all.

I see that Cornell grads get gifted really broad brushes when they graduate. How do you safely carry that one around to rallies in your Prius?

Logic would seem to point to individuals hiding in their basement, perpetually wearing masks for protection and continuously getting ineffective vaccines/boosters as the ones most likely to suffer from nocturnal enuresis.

Kind of ironic that they let them selves get beaten and reamed by the people they vote for. Promise that COVID is fine, people die. Promise coal jobs, and the company goes out of business. Promise tax cuts, and see the owners of the coal company get breaks to close the company. Promise balanced budgets, see a massive deficit balloon every single R president. The only promise they get is fear and hate.

For this thread, the actual threat of physical violence is pretty small, and minor- but they insist that they need guns for protection. Whereas the actual threat of COVID has proven to take over 1M Americans, but they don't need anything for that. Imagine if the same COVID deaths were the shootings they fear, or the COVID hospitalizations were shootings they fear.

Pretty dumb people when presented with data.

As long as Fox and the Echo Chamber keep them hypnotized, they will never realize the party they vote for bends them over. It would be funny but innocent and worthwhile people also get injured by the Right's ineptitude and cowardice.

 

[rufus]

They don't fear shootings. If they did, they'd do something about the guns. Mass shootings are just more opportunities for good guys with a gun to play hero, and for them to indulge their fantasies that that hero could be them. Just wait, it's gonna happen.

What they fear is being accosted by the darkies or the homeless crazies in a Walmart parking lot or at the local packie.

Not to mention the hordes of darkies prowling the streets just looking for the opportunity to sully their innocent virginal daughters.

My favorite Faux Snooze moment last week was a clip in which Charlie Hurt was on Ingraham Angle, talking about the picture of Kamala & her husband in their home kitchen which has a gas stove, and how she's a hypocrite because Dems are supposedly banning gas stoves. Why? Because we hate humans, joyfulness, pies, and good food, and we want everyone to be miserable and to suffer! I am slightly paraphrasing, but I am not making that quote up. It's almost like conservatives have Munchausen's and find comfort in being victims of imaginary disorders.

Also, I just bought a brand new gas stove last month. They are most definitely not "banned". I think I've heard that NYC and California are restricting net new installations (i.e., in new builds), but that's NYC and CA for you, and there's no way that will get traction in purple or red areas anytime soon.

The screen name FadeToBlack must be a reality because your new gas stove isnt properly vented. Have that checked out for CO2 levels before you FadeToZero pulse.

Kamala, AND YOU, are hypocrites because you still have a gas stove. YOUR party is moving forward (not trying to) to ban these from being sold. NY STATE, not City, and CA have already banned the new sale of gas stoves, so 2 down and 48 to go. Obviously Kamala, and YOU, dont believe in the dangers these stoves create. WHY NOT?

Stop being disingenuous by saying "wont happen here" because that is what the tax payers in NY and CA probably believed as well.

I believe NYS is going to ban the sale of new ones. But you don't have to switch over if you already have a gas stove.

Apparently phasing something out over time isn't a possible solution. You either have to ban it everywhere immediately or never touch it. That's how you're guaranteed to get results in the real world.

But we live in a political world... :-(

Sorry to brAKE the news to you tough guys, but time to head back to the basement. The JN1 variant is gaining steam and going to start knocking people off in droves. Boston has detected this variant in the waste water, oh no!

Merry Christmas wishes (can we still say that?). Hope that Santa bring's you the 12th variant booster in your stocking that will hopefully "Save Democracy".

Four guys in the last month at my work, and I don't think any of them had contact (different buildings in different towns).

That isn't wonderful.

4 people in the last MONTH? Cant have that, just too scary. Obviously it is time to lock the country back down, no other alternatives. Get the Good Doctor on the phone and plead, beg ..... do whatever you have to, but GET HIM OUT OF RETIREMENT! The adults must be placed back in charge, enough of this Maga herd immunity BS. We MUST save democracy!!!!!!

Odd data in that first map- showing that the south have really high cases, where the north (not counting ND, since there's no data) is pretty low. Kinda debunks the theory that it's being indoors.

But I will say- we spent 3 weeks on cruises last month, hearing a lot of sick people (you know the kind of cough), and noting that many other ships had big break spreads of things- seems to us that the vaccines worked like a charm.

I wonder how many people are not getting the flu vaccine anymore thanks to the controversy over COVID.

I still get it cause I'm not a clueless idiot and actually understand the purpose of the flu/covid vaccine.

The other idea I'm wondering is if basic hygiene has become a political statement. It is still shocking to see so many people NOT wash their hands after going to a public bathroom.
