Totally agree Mike, I'm retired now but still have my certification since I still do some part time work for the Dept. (well, not in a month or so with this crap going on). Common sense seems to have gone out the window with the newer generations of officers. I would have never followed orders to harass people like we are seeing in some places. Luckily I haven't heard of any incidents like these happening around here so far. | |||

Yesterday was my first encounter with our local Safeway's 100 person limit in the store and one way aisles. When I encountered an item I wanted what was <10ft or so from the end of a wrong way aisle, I just parked my cart at the end of the aisle and walked up and got it. No way with my bad leg and cane am I going to make a round trip just for that item. When in doubt, mumble | |||

I'm sorry, CPD SIG. Rest In Peace, Cliff. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Though long, very interesting, insightful, and yet not surprising with the findings. Thanks for posting this, I appreciate it. Regards, Will G. | |||

If the theory about wet markets, bats and the coronavirus are true - why not ban wet markets here in the US and prohibit travel to countries, like China, that have not only abundant wet markets, but very loose controls over the inventory of some of these animals in their bio-labs? | |||

I don’t know if they still do, but when I lived in the Bay Area in the 90s, they had them in San Francisco. Chinatown, of course. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

I am also a retired cop, and I wholeheartedly agree. These officers who are just following orders by writing citations to church goers in cars following CDC guidelines, and those pulling off a man on a bus because he did not have a mask on are making choices that break their oath of protecting the Constitution. What they need to be doing is stepping up and going to their union to represent them as a whole and refusing to follow unlawful orders. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Yep. CCP Virus: interesting. Thanks, wcb6092. "Some things are apparent.

Re increased death rate for COVID-19 patients on respirators. My sales director is married to a nurse that has worked ICU during the current crisis. He told me yesterday that they have to de-gown and then gown up again every time they visit a new patient. Re-gowning takes minimum 3-5 minutes as they have to do it properly by a specific procedure. So if/when a patient on a vent has an event (heart beat irregularities, stoppage, anything that sets off the monitoring equipment) that requires assistance, minimum 3-5 mins can and many times does elapse before they receive care. After they gown up and get to the patient, many times its too late. This delay in treatment due to proper PPE procedure could explain why the mortality rate for COVID-19 patients is 80%, whereas only 50% for people on vents with non-infectious respiratory ailments.

Goose-stepping check cashing Gestapo fucks. That is what I am calling the chuds that decide that their paycheck is more important that other peoples freedoms. Once we are out of this, I think an even greater portion of our population will be okay with government overreach. They are too simple to realize what is happening right in front of them. This goes for so called conservative's too. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

Long read, but you might find this interesting. How China’s “Bat Woman” Hunted Down Viruses from SARS to the New Coronavirus I may have posted it before, hard to remember these days. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I’m not sure if it was you, but someone posted it. It seems like a few years and a few thousand pages ago, but it was probably only a week or two and a hundred pages or so... ETA: It was you, March 22nd, page 200. Seems like forever ago... | |||

Thank you, Mike. That makes more sense than anything that the governments (state and local) have said, and more sense than 95% of what I have read (SIGforum excepted). הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Maybe I’m in the weeds, but I’d think if the government really wanted to help, they’d massively spin up serum testing, making it available to anyone who wants it. Results directly to the person tested as fast as possible and statistics collected. Give everyone a more accurate indication of what is really going on with the virus and allow people to make their own decisions. If stores want to require masks and one way traffic fine. If folks think that is asinine, let them take their business to other stores taking a more relaxed approach. Gosh, it almost sounds like a free market. Give a free people the information to make their own decisions and let them live with the consequences of their decisions. I know, it is a really crazy idea... | |||

safe & sound |
Although I agree in principal, many of these businesses are doing this because the government will close them if they don’t. | |||
