It is precisly the reason that doctors are asking for more ventilators so they don't have to go round and mark people "unsaviable" like if we are in a mass casuality disaster.

Always a tough call, but there is a difference between savable and brain dead.

 

.

These people aren't brain dead. Part are comatozed cause the mere struggle to draw a breath even with a ventilator would wear them down. Covid-19 does NOT attack your brain.

.

 

So yeah, I am calling you out on the bullshit you believe.

There is a difference between believing something to be true and something being true. If someone believes something to be true, but insists that it is true... that's bullshit. If someone believes something to be true, and indicates that it's their opinion... that's not bullshit.

 

It is my opinion that climate change alarmists are full of shit... that's not bullshit. Someone telling me I'm wrong about that based on their opinion, or their opinion is backed up by colored graphs purely designed to back up their opinion... well that's bullshit.

 

We do not believe in the same things. Which means we only have two different opinions. Neither opinion creates a fact. We are just different believing people.

 

.

The bullshit being you calling them "alarmists" and defnining them to be so extreme even I would find them ludricous. Thats the bullshit.

 

 

Covid-19 does NOT attack your brain.

Covid-19 can cause pneumonia, which can cause a lack of oxygen, which does attack the brain... that's the reason for a ventilator.

 

 

The bullshit being you calling them "alarmists"

They have an agenda to force people to believe in their opinion. They choose to try to scare the shit out of people to accomplish that. What would you prefer we call these people? I think calling them "alarmists" is accurate. I could choose better, more descriptive, and much more offensive labels, but I do a magnificent job of being kind.

I hope all of you are doing well.  Personally, I'm trying to stave off insanity.  This enforced idleness is driving me nuts.  I've been working since I graduated with a B.Ed in 2001.  Not adapting well to sitting on my hands and doing nothing.   At least I got some idea when this down time will end, I'm expecting (hoping), to go back to work on 1 May.  At least that's the projection from the CDS.

 

So tonight I'm sitting down and drinking a few Old Milwaukee, thinking about a scotch and soda or two...maybe three later on.  I've cleaned the house, packed a bit of stuff.  One good thing about all of this, we've been able to get some work done on the house we purchased.  New flooring is being installed tomorrow.  Now, I just have to get the chimney inspected and cleaned.

 

I've done something I've always wanted to do.  I've grown a Civil War era beard.

 

 

At least I got some idea when this down time will end, I'm expecting (hoping), to go back to work on 1 May. At least that's the projection from the CDS.

That's good news. I wish we could get a deadline to look forward to. All we get are continued extensions. Starts off at 15 days, then add another 15... that's not good enough so add another 15 days. It's like an open-ended prison term... but I can drink all I want.

I picture George Armstrong Custer... then I remember you're Canadian... did you guys have a Civil War too?

Home Office is the name of the game from the white collar front, and that by no means translate to less work. Oh no. In fact, I'm working more than I did from the office, I'm just doing it from my home computer on overhead that I pay for out of my own pocket.

 

Same with wife, disruption there being that she spilled tea on her laptop, so we had to get a new one ASAP.

 

 

Home Office is the name of the game

I've been doing that for 20 years

Still doesn't mean that they are braindead and should be switched off to get the ventilator on someone else.

There are alarmists sure. You just want everyone to be alarmists. Not like I consider you a "pollute all!" reactionary.

Nah, think of General Burnside

We had a few rebellions, nothing on the scale of the Civil War mind you.

Hope all of all of you are doing well. 

 

 

General Burnside

OMG! Really? You gotta be kidding me. I believe our species has evolved way past those muttons. LOL!

Happy Easter all.

Aaah, damn. No photos?

To be clear... Trump cannot order Governors to release restrictions on their states. He can on the other hand, remove Federal guidelines, and refuse to support further Federal Covid-19 aid to the states.

 

If Obama had said something about him having "total authority" over any state... I would have lost my mind. We are a Republic, and a State Governor has an extreme level of power on what happens within their borders. Even a city Mayor has more power within their city limits. Our dear President is egging Democrats, and the media, on into a fight that doesn't mean much at all... and they're falling for it.

So if Obama did it you would have gone mental, but now that Trump did it it is just to "egg on democrats".

 

And you wonder why we think you are biased...

Please don't "think" I am biased. There is absolutely no reason to have any doubt about it. I have never made it a secret.

 

You don't see what is happening... do you? Whatever position Trump takes, the Democrats will get in a huff and forcefully go against him. So, if Trump says he has the authority to order them to pull down their restrictions, the only way to make it look like they are not doing as he commands is to pull the restrictions down before he commands them to be taken down. Make it look like they are doing it on their own. If they don't pull down the restrictions, and reopen the country very soon, well they won't be getting any sleep.

 

Restricting the movement of sick people is called quarantine.

Greetings from Philippines. 

Sad to say, my country is not prepared for this. Our 1 month lockdown was extended. We started at Enhanced Community Quarantine or ECQ. After two weeks it was changed to Extreme Enhanced Community Quarantine. The scheduled 1 month was extended due to the increase of Covid19 cases everyday. Surviving a two weeks lockdown is already hell to about 50% of the people here. Most people here work on a daily basis. And now they can't work. They don't have savings.  The national government announced a financial aid with a budget of 200 Billion Pesos but until now the said money that was already released is still out of the peoples hand. People are suffering from hunger. I just hear that there will be a total lockdown after the extension. Police and armies are being deployed. If the lockdown continues, there will be a war to survival. I am just hoping that it will never happen.

This is very sad. The reports I have say you have a total of 5,453 cases of Covid with 349 deaths. You guys lock your country down for that? This all reeks of complete overreaction. I hope the best for you. Please stay safe.

Even Republican governers are stating it is their actions on invoking restrictions and their word on rescinding them. Heck some states are even banding together to streamline and allign their states actions so there is no bidding war about who does what first/last. And while the various federal departments are doing excellent work under difficult circumstances, it is once again Trump and his merry band of barely competent advisors/ministers that come out swinging one strange action after another. The latest I heard was the Treasury being forced to print Trump's name on the $$ checks being seind out as stimulus, in te memo section thou cause he actually has no power to sign them personally.

 

Also the whole "So, if Trump says he has the authority to order them to pull down their restrictions, the only way to make it look like they are not doing as he

commands is to pull the restrictions down before he commands them to be taken down.", they can just, i dunno, not react at all and just continue running their state as they see fit. You know, state rights and all...

 

As for that last part, we just don't know who's healthy, who's carrier and who's already "safe".

Damn Kidokawa, hang in there!

 

It's something that needs to be thought about long and hard. The economic costs will manifest themselves in human lives, and it may easily outweigh the deaths caused directly by COVID-19.

I'm playing Delta Wars last month and we are talking about covid19 and one of my co member in the alliance said we don't need to worry as long as the victims of covid19 who died will not come back to life and chase other people.

And so it begins...

Only the beginning… I probably met a lot of these from Michigan in Washington DC on 9/12/09.

Yeah, lets go protest!
