Yep, just as stupid as the woman I saw a couple weeks ago out kayaking by herself on a lake and wearing a mask. | |||

To be fair, some people have been wearing masks before covid because of allergies. I have a friend who's been wearing masks while kayaking for seasonal allergies. Covid related - stupid. Allergies related - understandable. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned."

Really interesting watching how local media is reporting the Corona outbreak in the homeless population of Anchorage. Every article and feature reports that those with positive results are being housed at, "An undisclosed location". The undisclosed location is a series of hotels the city has eased put to house them in quarantine. Sounds like a smart idea to quarantine them and keep it from spreading. It's not, we refer t it as the, "Homeless Lottery". There are some of the homeless who are actively trying to get infected by the virus by sharing bottles, smokes and trading sexual favors with those who have positive results. They test positive they get a hotel room, 3 meals a day and cable tv for 2 weeks. We've had several come into the ER bragging about it. That hasn't been reported.This message has been edited.

That has to be great for commerce in the state, keeping out healthy visitors that have and want to spend their money in Alaska, and giving the homeless stays that we would have paid for  Bite Me Alaska!!!_________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K.

Please don't blame the State of Alaska for the idiotic antics from Anchorage's mayor. My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | |||

They shut down an entire High School for 6 positive cases in Orange County FL! 6 cases. Our daughter's school sent a note home that they had 1 positive case and contract traced it to 50 other kids - so far no talks of closing the school. Meanwhile Florida State's President keeps threatening to close the school to on campus classes and send them home if they don't stop being college kids - apparently over 800 cases have cropped up. "Nation of Cowards" is right... | |||

I talked with the principal of school my 5th and 7th graders go to before making the decision to send them back to school. He assured me the school would not shut down unless there was a mandate from the governor. That seemed reasonable to me. There's a point where if enough teachers and kids are out that closing the school would make sense, but 6 kids isn't it. Subs are in short supply in my county. Subs don't get paid much, many are retirees, and I'm sure many have made the decision that it just isn't worth the risk. | |||

I read the Fox News version of that & the "researchers" in San Diego found that there was a huge increase in covid cases related to Sturgis, but not from any previous large gatherings, like BLM rallies, or protests.This message has been edited.

My son's high school in suburban Indianapolis opened a little over a month ago. There were some cases of students testing positive, and they went back to home based for a week or so, then to partial weeks - some days home some days at school, on an alternating schedule to keep the school 1/2 full at any given time. The frustrating part is there is no info. We get a notification of a positive test, but it's a form letter. There is no follow up - no info as to the number of "cases" that are actually symptomatic, no info about the severity of any symptomatic cases, or recoveries. It has been stated that young people, especially college age, overestimate their chances of dying from the virus by a huge amount - like 100x or 1000x more than reality. If for example they announced that no "cases" led to symptoms, that would calm a lot of people. Or if they said that those with symptoms have mild flu for a few days and get over it. I'm sure this is the case though. So I just think they need to suck it up, stay open, and do the best they can to avoid transmission, but not to freak out. Just treat it like a Chicken Pox breakout from when I was a kid. Yep, kids are "living in fear of being shot in school" even though deaths in school are extremely rare and kids are safer from being killed in school than at home. Safer than outside ether, and much safer than when driving a car (wrt car accident deaths). Kids are in fear of the "existential threat to the earth" caused by the "consensus" of a warming of 1 degree C over the next 100 years, even though there is absolutely zero ability to project weather changes that far into the future, much less into the next month. The as Anxiety and depression are way up, so are associated prescriptions for psychoactive drugs. Seems it's all just indoctrination to get them to follow the anti-gun, anti-energy mantra of the far left. Sadly, for a lot of young adults, it seems to be working. | |||

Schools and Universities are free to make their own decisions about quarantine and closing. There is no question that there are different standards. | |||

I've been tracking the CDC death totals and charting them daily for a while now. The data is clear, the US is essentially now back to normal weekly death totals. We can come out of quarantine 100%. | |||

Our mountain community is still under crud restrictions as far as schools, banks, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, athletic and entertainment events, etc. Most stores require or strongly urge masks. The ironic part is our county has only had 2,400 cases reported since the beginning and 70 deaths, many of which may have been over reported. It's one of, if not the lowest effected counties in AZ. As a comparison, Maricopa County (metro Phoenix) is 9,224 square miles with over 4,000,000 residents while our county is 8,128 square miles with 235,000 residents, but we all lumped into the crud restrictions. | |||

They think they have the President again because of the Woodward interview where he said he wanted to play it down. Yeah, that's what leaders do. I'm so freaking sick of this crap. | |||

To be more clear about the total death numbers, we should expect to see somewhere between 52k and 60k deaths per week from now until the end of the year. The weekly deaths tend to start raising around this time year over year. Of those total deaths, 2-3% are COVID right now. The high point of % was in the middle of April when 20-25% of the deaths were due to Covid. It will be interesting to see if that 2-3% stays low as we get closer to the end of the year. But right now, we are basically right at the 5 year average for weekly deaths this time of year. The data would certainly indicate the total COVID death count is fairly accurate, but it also indicates very few people are dying from it anymore. | |||

Well, Los Angeles has banned Halloween. LA County has banned door-to-door trick or treating, Halloween parties with friends, Haunted houses, carnivals, etc. But online parties are allowed. https://fox59.com/newsfeed-now...ict-halloween-rules/ "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||
