A lack of responsibility/consequences by chinese manufacturers and caring more about profit than the safety of the rest of the world (?). I've said it before, remember the good ol' days when stuff was made in America, Mexico and Canada. That's what we should be promoting again. Maybe the USMCA will accomplish that. | |||

A 12 gauge might give the drone a brief but very high fever or it might cough and sputter before crashing and burning...  "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 | |||

I heard a podcast a few days ago where the hosts talked about a couple of reviews of the existing studies on this matter. As I recall 2 reviewers looked a 20 studies and each picked the best 5 to focus on. One reviewer concluded there was no evidence smokers were better off, the other concluded smokers might be a bit worse off. Too early to say one way or another, but there doesn't seem to be a clear, major difference one way or another. | |||

Yet another indication that it is way past time to rescind or otherwise ignore all the abusive, power grabbing BS by the petty tyrants and get everyone back to work - except for the elderly and infirm. Unlike TP, ropes and trees are in good supply. ______________________________________________________ ____________________________ "It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled."

There's another so called study by researchers and scientists regarding BP meds. One group says that people on BP meds may be more susceptible to the virus, while another group says BP meds may protect people. Flip a coin... https://www.reuters.com/articl...search-idUSKCN2251GQ | |||

Same as it ever was. I’ve said for years that if you don’t like the medical survey results being touted this week, don’t sweat it. Next week they’ll have another study saying the exact opposite. | |||

Heck, they still can't tell us if butter or eggs are good for you, and they've had decades. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

And Pritzker just extended the bullshit lockdown for another month “with modifications”.... He’s mandating that we wear masks in public and can’t maintain 6 ft social distancing. Yeah, don’t think so.... | |||

It all depends on who is funding the research: Pro-Butter or Pro Eggs, Anti-Butter or Anti-Eggs lobbyist groups. | |||

I posted much earlier in this thread that my father in law, with several underlying health conditions, had tested positive. Although I was confident it would do him in like so many other things already should have, he keeps on keeping on. But now he's a guinea pig of sorts. We got a call today that he's of great interest to the local and state health departments, and may even get a visit from the CDC. They don't know if there is a problem with testing, or if you actually can get this thing more than once. The home where he stays was a hotbed, and the residents were being tested to determine their status. At the same time he requires occasional trips to the hospital, which also conducts a test while he is in their custody. 3/23, hospital tested him, results negative 4/3, tested at care facility, results positive 4/15, hospital tested him, results negative 4/20, hospital tested him, results positive. He has his other health issues that cause him trouble, but he has been 100% asymptomatic as far as the Wuhan goes. | |||

There's zero evidence that reinfection can occur. I suspect that the specificity and sensitivity of the tests, in addition to the protocol, is flawed. | |||

Which is why everybody wants to take a look at what's going on. Facility and hospital used separate labs. | |||

Here in NC, stay at home orders were supposed to end April 29th, but Governor Cooper extended that today to May 8th. | |||

Love him or hate him, Rand Paul gets its absolutely right in this speech on the senate floor. Unfortunately, with the retards, carpetbaggers, and wannabe totalitarians in Washington, it will fall completely on deaf ears and the the printing presses will be cranked up to warp speed. Much like the actions taken to save us from the Rona, the actions taken to save the economy are also likely to kill it. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

cooper is a true ass and he would not answer the question put to him asking if that meant things would open on May 9th and what types of business could open first. They are not releasing the numbers of recovered folks in N.C. since that would not help their agenda, but with only 254 (iirc) fatalities in the entire state and hospitals not even close to being full or almost empty, this stay home crap is worthless. It's just being used as an excuse to exert his control. | |||

My friend age 70 contracted it from his wife who is a nurse working with nursing home patients. After being admitted at the hospital here with his blood O2 level dangerously low was intubated and remained so for over a week as his condition worsened. After 10 days his bilateral pneumonia showed slight clearing so they slightly decreased his sedatives and oxygen. His blood O2 did not drop. Blood numbers showed organ functions still ok. The docs had kept his kidneys and bowels functioning. Just heard Tuesday he's now off the ventilator! No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||
