I don't blame the businesses for the ridiculous policies. They're just trying to keep running within the government decrees.

Negative. No such mask requirements in Georgia and many other states.

More like, can I come into your store to cancel my membership? Because that’s what I’m doing. This shit is beyond ridiculous.

Yeah. I get the idea of a private business requiring whatever they want of people who want to do business with them on their private property. I also get the idea of potential customers telling them where to go if the potential customers find the requirements unreasonable. However, Costco is a membership deal and customers there have paid for membership. I wonder if the membership agreement allows Costco to unilaterally change the conditions. If not, one would think they would be forced to refund the membership of anyone who asked.

What a cluster!

I asked the customer service rep if this was a temporary solution, and she said that it was permanent. I told her to cancel my membership. Unless they are giving out the masks, and gloves, they are not absolving themselves of litigation risk, and having an asthma condition, I can't wear a mask unless it is a N95.

You might want to rethink that one. They are requiring masks here now.

Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation.

No wonder why they wanted a new and expensive solution over the Hydroxychloroquine.

Just FYI, Gates Foundation is a major benefactor/investor to nearly all major and lots of minor pharma research companies, not to mention, they're the largest private donor to the WHO. In short, they got an island worth of money and they pour the majority of it into med research so, stands to reason that their name will be associated with them.

Contrast with Bloomy and Soros who pour their wealth into reworking laws and warping civil rights into their favor.

Wife and I went yesterday for the first time since the lockdown.
We were handed a 5-pack of Clorox wipes by an employee handing them out (one per card!) from a pallet, since they know that’s what we’re looking for.
Limits on paper towels, meat, some other things.
All wore masks; all did their best to maintain socialist distance, but there was a scrum at the meat counter.
All in all, I think Costco is doing a terrific job at performing their essential service and keeping customers happy.

Now if Governor Gruesome would just realize that private businesses and individuals can get along just fine without the “help” he’s giving by shutting everything down, we would do just fine.

If covid were a purely aerosol virus, I would agree. Unfortunately with it living on surfaces for up to 6 days, and via aerosol form only 3-4 hours, gloves, not a mask, would make more sense. Also, if they are not handing out the masks, what is to say they are any good. Hell, even the CDC policy states that the efficacy of nonpharmaceutical grade PPE is questionable, at best.

MIT polymath criticizes Dr. Fauci and our approach to COVID

Shiva Ayyadurai is a polymath with multiple degrees from MIT, and he's an interesting guy. Also, he's highly critical of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Big Pharma, and the approach we've been taking to dealing with COVID-19.

On April 10, Christina Aguayo interviewed Ayyadurai in "Dr. SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT PhD Crushes Dr. Fauci Exposes Birx, Clintons, Bill Gates, And The W.H.O." The video lasts 16 minutes, and it's embedded below. I neither advocate nor blast Dr. Ayyadurai's positions. But the man is very well spoken, very fluid, and a pleasure to listen to:

Who? Specifically. The state of Georgia has no such requirement.

w all the talk that NY City has had such a massive problem partly because so many use the subway system, Cuomo announces they will start to clean the subway cars now.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...the-subways-n2567899

It's the end of April, meaning we are months into the coronavirus outbreak, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is finally getting around to cleaning the New York City subway system. Now, at long last, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will be expected to clean the system every night.

"When people get into the train, in the morning, they have to know that that train was disinfected the night before," he said at Wednesday's press briefing.

He "didn't know" how the cleaning would affect service. He's waiting for the MTA to "give him a plan."

Right now, Cuomo said, they are basically telling essential workers, "By the way you may get infected with the coronavirus on the train on the way to work."

He hopes to get to the point where he can assure essential workers that they can have a safe commute.

Most certainly, BUT, that pretty much only protects the people that ride it 1st thing in the morning.

Dr Shiva has been drinking from the Mark_A well.

I don't have time to stay current in this thread and to be honest, I get tired of a lot of the petty bitching. This may have been mentioned in this thread and I just didn't see it.

Dr Shiva didn't use this word but he did mention one of the core issues that is causing death. Please look up Cytokine Storm. Look for articles before Covid-19 became the latest herd control panic.

Strengthen your immune system and look for supplements that help mitigate the instances of Cytokine Storms. The supplements that suppress Cytokine Storms are usually associated with cancer prevention. There is a reason for that.

It is nice to see someone with a bunch of initials behind his name validating an old redneck in TN.

If this was mentioned previously I apologize

Well surprise surprise self fulfilling prophecy. Curiosity got the better of me about an hour ago and I went to the store nearest me. All the meat section was empty save a few packages of various odd parts of various animals.

Tn226, there are multiple small farmers in our area that have stock in all meats including pork chops. No waiting in line for your "turn" to spend your money and food that is actually good for you. Very little risk of disease and unlike Costco most probably WANT you to carry. Yes, their prices are more but at least you can draw a line between your stomach and where the meat was raised.

And yes, I raise meat in Middle Tn. Don't know exactly where you are at but I would be happy to connect you to someone close or provide you will all the clean healthy meat you can eat.

www.SchoolBell.Farm

That applies to most of the country. I know small meat producers in just about every mainland state. If you can't find food at the store or just want better food my email is in my profile. I will be happy to track down a local source that can help.

This, and why let something cheaper that Trump mentioned possibly gain any traction.

And here I was thinking Bill Gates wanted us all dead....I guess his Event 201 didn't quite have the impact he was hoping for.

Please don't also forget Uncle Bill has multiple millions invested on secure school portals for remote online classrooms.

Doctors warn 'unreliable' ventilators made in China could kill patients

https://www.washingtonexaminer...5S5sPKOCeDLYjgh2jNGw

British doctors have warned that ventilators from China could cause "significant patient harm, including death."

A group of senior doctors in the United Kingdom issued a warning about the deficiencies in 250 ventilators that were sourced from China, including concerns about sanitation and oxygen supply, according to a letter seen by NBC News.

The doctors warned that the oxygen supply was “variable and unreliable” and the quality of the machine was “basic.”

The ventilators were built to be used in ambulances, causing Britain’s National Health Service staff to create makeshift stands in order to use them.

Concerns about sanitation were also raised, as the machines have a fabric case that cannot be cleaned properly.

The letter was written by a senior intensive care doctor, who works at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, in one of the U.K.'s hardest-hit regions, according to NBC News. It was addressed to a senior official in the NHS.

China has faced accusations of sending defective personal protective equipment around the world. The Austrian government, for example, has reported that 500,000 masks were “unusable,” and thousands of COVID-19 test kits purchased by the Spanish government had an accuracy rate of only 30%.

Michael Gove, a senior member of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government, previously thanked the Chinese government for securing the ventilators.

The U.K.’s Department of Health and Social Care told NBC News that it was aware of the concerns, and none of the ventilators are in use.
